The temperate forest phyllosphere and rhizosphere microbiome: a case study of sugar maple

Author(s): Enea M; Beauregard J; De Bellis T; Faticov M; Laforest-Lapointe I;

The interactions between sugar maple (Acer saccharum, Marshall) and its microbial communities are important for tree fitness, growth, and establishment. Despite recent progress in our understanding of the rhizosphere and phyllosphere microbial communities of sugar maple, many outstanding knowledge gaps remain. This review delves into the relationships bet ...

Sleep spindles and slow oscillations predict cognition and biomarkers of neurodegeneration in mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease

Author(s): Páez A; Gillman SO; Dogaheh SB; Carnes A; Dakterzada F; Barbé F; Dang-Vu TT; Ripoll GP;

Introduction: Changes in sleep physiology can predate cognitive symptoms by decades in persons with Alzheimer's disease (AD), but it remains unclear which sleep characteristics predict cognitive and neurodegenerative changes after AD onset. Methods: Using data from a prospective cohort of mild to moderate AD (n = 60), we analyzed non-rapid eye moveme ...

Is There a Need to Reassess Protein Intake Recommendations Following Metabolic Bariatric Surgery?

Author(s): Ben-Porat T; Lahav Y; Cohen TR; Bacon SL; Buch A; Moizé V; Sherf-Dagan S;

Purpose of review: Protein intake is recognized as a key nutritional factor crucial for optimizing Metabolic Bariatric Surgery (MBS) outcomes by preventing protein malnutrition, preserving fat-free mass, and inducing satiety. This paper discusses the current evidence regarding protein intake and its impact on clinical outcomes following MBS. Recent findi ...

Toward cognitive models of misophonia

Author(s): Savard MA; Coffey EBJ;

Misophonia is a disorder in which specific common sounds such as another person breathing or chewing, or the ticking of a clock, cause an atypical negative emotional response. Affected individuals may experience anger, irritability, annoyance, disgust, and anxiety, as well as physiological autonomic responses, and may find everyday environments and contex ...

Intramyocellular lipid use is altered with exercise in males with childhood-onset obesity despite no differences in substrate oxidation

Author(s): Feola S; Al-Nabelsi L; Tam BT; Near J; Morais JA; Santosa S;

Objective: Compared to adulthood-onset obesity (AO), those with childhood-onset obesity (CO) are at greater risk of metabolic disease. However, the differences between these two obesity phenotypes are not clear. The aim of this study is to investigate how the age of obesity onset (CO vs. AO) affects the use of intramyocellular (IMCL) and extramyocellular ...

Contribution of Coal Tar Sources to Polycyclic Aromatic Compounds and Associated Ecological Risk in Lake Ontario Sediments: Inference from a Novel Marker

Author(s): Zhang X; Bowman DT; Diamond ML; Helm P; Jobst KJ; Hao C; Kleywegt S; Zhang ZF; Marvin C; Zhang X;

Coal tar-related products as a source of polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs) are particularly concerning due to high PAC concentrations and inadequate source management. Benzo[b]carbazole, a benzocarbazole isomer exclusively found in coal tar-derived products, acts as an ideal marker to distingu ...

Water Quality and Land Use Shape Bacterial Communities Across 621 Canadian Lakes

Author(s): Onana VE; Beisner BE; Walsh DA;

Human activities such as agriculture and urban development are linked to water quality degradation. Canada represents a large and heterogeneous landscape of freshwater lakes, where variations in climate, geography and geology interact with land cover alteration to influence water quality differently across regions. In this study, we investigated the influ ...

Sex differences in the metabolism of glucose and fatty acids by adipose tissue and skeletal muscle in humans

Author(s): Costa DN; Santosa S; Jensen MD;

Adult males and females have markedly different body composition, energy expenditure, and have different degrees of risk for metabolic diseases. A major aspect of metabolic regulation involves the appropriate storage and disposal of glucose and fatty acids. The use of sophisticated calorimetry, tracer, and imaging techniques have provided insight into the ...
