Obesity and a sedentary lifestyle contribute to an increasing number of people developing fatty liver disease. There is a need for early detection of individuals at risk of developing sequelae. According to a new study, poor muscle health may be a marker of risk for this.

POLICE in Chililabombwe have arrested Kasumbalesa Bola Bet branch manager, Harrison Kalombwe for allegedly stealing over K123, 000 from the online sports betting company.

Copperbelt Commissioner of Police,  Peacewell Mweemba said Mulonyeni Tembo,  35, a regional manager for Bola Bet Zambia,   reported on behalf of the company that K123,391 cash was allegedly been stolen by Kalombwe, 26, of house number 106 Mine township in Chililabombwe.

Docket was opened and an arrest has been made,’’ Mr Mweemba said.

The growing number of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) cases, projected to reach 135 million by 2050, highlights the urgent need for effective therapeutics. Accumulated evidence points to an impairment of the metabolic mechanism in Alzheimer’s patients that develops several decades before the onset of dementia and deterioration of cognitive function. Reduced metabolism results from a dysfunction of the mitochondria, which is responsible for producing most of the energy in the cell but is also involved in cell death, inflammation and immune response.

A research team led by Dr. Tu Yiheng from the Institute of Psychology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has found that people with chronic pain in multiple parts of the body had a higher risk of dementia and experienced broader and faster cognitive decline, including memory, executive function, learning, and attention.

In a new study, researchers from The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (UT Health San Antonio) link obesity with 21 Alzheimer’s disease-related genes, providing a potential mechanistic explanation for why Alzheimer’s is sometimes more frequent among adults who experienced obesity in midlife.

Mount Sinai researchers have published a study in Alzheimer’s & Dementia: The Journal of the Alzheimer’s Association that sheds new light on the role of DNA methylation in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The study found that DNA methylation has a profound impact on gene and protein co-expression networks associated with AD and could lead to the discovery of new neuropathological processes and molecular mechanisms for developing novel treatments for the disease.
