TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed baseline data from the Ginkgo Evaluation of Memory (GEM) study, in which information was collected on the use of all dietary supplements and found substantial differences between individuals who used vitamins and minerals and those who used non-vitamins and non-mineral dietary supplements.

TL;DR: Applying advanced quantitative image pattern analysis methods on longitudinal MRI data of a large sample of patients with type 2 diabetes demonstrates that there are spatially specific patterns of brain changes that vary by diabetes characteristics and that the progression of gray matter volume loss is slowed by intensive glycemic treatment, particularly in regions adjacent to areas affected by diabetes.

TL;DR: Persistentalbuminuria and progressive albuminuria are associated with a decline in cognitive function in relatively young individuals with diabetes with unimpaired eGFR, and these findings do not rule out the possibility of other processes causing cognitive decline.

TL;DR: This work used data from two large longitudinal studies of older adults (ages 65-100) to estimate transition probabilities from one health state to another, and used those probabilities to estimate the mean additional years of healthy life that an older adult of specified age, sex, and health status would experience.

TL;DR: In the younger infants with congestive heart failure, septal coronary collaterals were less frequent, but did aid in the diagnosis of an anomalous coronary artery when present, and in the older asymptomatic patients had echocardiographic detection of multiple unusual color flow Doppler signals within the ventricular septum, which raised suspicion of a coronary artery abnormality and led to more detailed imaging of the coronary artery anatomy.
