The greatest variation in lipids was related to the ɛ2 isoform, where various lysophosphatidylcholines and all phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) subclasses were elevated relative to ɛ3/ɛ3 and ɛ4 carriers. APOE ɛ4 carriers had reduced phosphatidylinositol relative to ɛ3/ɛ3 and ɛ2 carriers. Logistic regression revealed that ɛ2 carriers were at least 4 times higher odds of being in the highest tertile of PE lipid level relative to ɛ3/ɛ3. The elevation in PE and other phospholipids in ɛ2 carriers may indicate the protective effect of ɛ2 is linked to these phospholipids. Additionally, high baseline PE in cognitively normal participants predicted protection against cognitive decline six years later. Our data suggest substantial modulation of plasma lipids by APOE genotype and therefore indicates possible lipid targets and pathomechanisms involved in AD risk.]]> Thu 02 Jul 2020 09:10:42 AEST ]]> The effect of load on biomechanics during an overhead lift in the WorkHab Functional Capacity Evaluation https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:12330 Sat 24 Mar 2018 10:36:50 AEDT ]]> Manufacturing collective intelligence by the means of decisional DNA and virtual engineering objects, process and factory https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:31483 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:45:13 AEDT ]]> The complex relationship between cyberbullying and trust https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:31464 N = 224) showed that negative experiences of family problems and cyber-perpetration predicted low generalized trust.

Classification by functional pathway analysis revealed transcript changes for various genes important in AD. There were decreases of up to 9-fold in transcripts for amyloid-β protein precursor, tau, apolipoprotein E, presenilin 1, and various other γ-secretase components, as well as Notch signaling pathway molecules. This included decreased transcripts for 'hairy and enhancer of split' Hes1 and Hes5, downstream targets of Notch canonical signaling. The reductions in Hes1 and Hes5 transcripts provide evidence that the changes in levels of transcripts for γ-secretase components and Notch signaling genes have functional consequences. The effects appeared relatively specific for AD in that few genes pertaining to other important neurodegenerative diseases, notably Parkinson's disease and Huntington's disease, or to inflammation, oxidative stress, or apoptosis, showed altered transcript levels. The observed effects on AD-related gene transcripts do not appear to be consistent with increased AD risk in HFE hemochromatosis and might, if anything, be predicted to protect against AD to some extent. As Hfe-/- mice did not have higher brain iron levels than wildtype controls, these studies highlight the need for further research in models of more severe hemochromatosis with brain iron loading.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:57:56 AEDT ]]> Beyond statistics: a new combinatorial approach to identifying biomarker panels for the early detection and diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:17878 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:56:13 AEDT ]]> Increased cerebrospinal fluid level of insulin-like growth factor-II in male patients with Alzheimer's disease https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:26280 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:40:12 AEDT ]]> Speed-up of a knowledge-based clinical diagnosis system using reflexive ontologies https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:27902 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:38:00 AEDT ]]> The effect of loupes on neck pain and disability among dental hygienists https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30114 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:37:56 AEDT ]]> The effect of velocity and familiarisation on the reproducibility of isokinetic dynamometry https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:26600 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:33:59 AEDT ]]> Plasma protein profiling of mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease across two independent cohorts https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:28945 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:31:25 AEDT ]]> Modelling programming languages: appropriate tools? https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:3857 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:19:50 AEDT ]]> Plasma Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein Is Associated with 18F-SMBT-1 PET: Two Putative Astrocyte Reactivity Biomarkers for Alzheimer's Disease https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:52824 Mon 30 Oct 2023 09:18:14 AEDT ]]> Every step counts: understanding the success of implementing the 10,000 steps project https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49682 Mon 29 May 2023 10:12:45 AEST ]]> Successes and Challenges of an IT-based health behaviour change program to increase physical activity https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49681 Mon 29 May 2023 10:05:58 AEST ]]> Model of human occupation as a framework for implementation of motivational interviewing in occupational rehabilitation https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46668 Mon 28 Nov 2022 19:00:22 AEDT ]]> Welfare of sequential allocation mechanisms for indivisible goods https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:25179 Mon 24 Jun 2019 18:45:04 AEST ]]> The effect of load on biomechanics of the back and upper limb in a bench to shoulder lift during the WorkHab Functional Capacity Evaluation https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47529 Mon 23 Jan 2023 12:23:03 AEDT ]]> Posture during the use of electronic devices in people with chronic neck pain: A 3D motion analysis project https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46412 3 months.

Methods: UK Biobank participants with follow-up hospitalization records (mean 10.5 years). MRI in 206 p.C282Y homozygotes versus 23,349 without variants, including T2* measures (lower values indicating more iron). Results: European ancestry participants included 2,890 p.C282Y homozygotes. Male p.C282Y homozygotes had lower T2* measures in areas including the putamen, thalamus, and hippocampus, compared to no HFE mutations. Incident dementia was more common in p.C282Y homozygous men (Hazard Ratio HR = 1.83; 95% CI 1.23 to 2.72, p = 0.003), as was delirium. There were no associations in homozygote women or in heterozygotes.

Based on the standard uptake value ratios (SUVR) obtained from PET imaging, using the tracer 18F-Florbetaben, plasma Aβ was compared between 32 participants assessed to have low brain Aβ load (Aβ–, SUVR <1.35) and 63 assessed to have high brain Aβ load (Aβ+, SUVR ≥1.35). Results: Plasma Aβ42/Aβ40 ratios were lower in the Aβ+ group compared to the Aβ–group. Plasma Aβ40 and Aβ42 levels were not significantly different between Aβ–and Aβ+ groups, although a trend of higher plasma Aβ40 was observed in the Aβ+ group. Additionally, plasma Aβ42/Aβ40 ratios along with the known AD risk factors, age and APOE ɛ4 status, resulted in Aβ+ participants being distinguished from Aβ–participants based on an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve shown to be 78%. Conclusion: Plasma Aβ ratios in this study are a potential biomarker for brain Aβ deposition and therefore, for preclinical AD. However, this method to measure plasma Aβ needs further development to increase the accuracy of this promising AD blood biomarker.]]> Fri 11 Nov 2022 18:51:47 AEDT ]]> Change in odor identification impairment is associated with improvement with cholinesterase inhibitor treatment in mild cognitive impairment https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:33774 Fri 11 Jan 2019 14:26:39 AEDT ]]> Effects of horse-riding therapy and rhythm and music-based therapy on functional mobility in late phase after stroke https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37036 Fri 03 Dec 2021 10:32:41 AEDT ]]>
