Study Reveals Link Between Youth-Onset Diabetes and Increased Risk of Dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease: Urgent Need for Further Research and Early Cognitive Testing
A New Perspective on Diabetes and its Link to Alzheimer’s Disease
A recent study conducted by the Lifecourse Epidemiology of Adiposity and Diabetes (LEAD) Center at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus has shed light on a concerning association between diabetes starting in youth and an increased risk of developing dementia and related neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s disease (AD).
The research, outlined in the journal Endocrines, provides evidence of early signs of neurodegeneration and AD present in young people with youth-onset diabetes. The implications of these findings are significant, urging further research to fully understand this unexpected connection.
Uncovering Early-Onset Alzheimer’s Risk
In contrast with previous studies focusing on individuals aged 40 and above, who have shown a heightened likelihood of developing dementia when living with diabetes, this study explored similar associations within a much younger age group.

Leptospirosis, a threat to the Olympic Aquatic Games
#Leptospirosis #threat #Olympic #Aquatic #Games
During the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, athletes from various nautical and aquatic disciplines will be in contact with the water of the Seine at the foot of the Eiffel Tower and that of the Vaires-sur-Marne basin (eastern Parisian suburbs). The risk of them contracting leptospirosis is not negligible. This is why the Academy of Pharmacy, the Veterinary Academy and the French Academy of Agriculture have drawn up a rapport on this pathology to the attention of health and sports authorities, general practitioners and pharmacists, who they consider largely under-informed on the subject.
Human leptospirosis occurs through contact with fresh water or sludge contaminated by the urine of rodents (muskrats, Norway rats, coypu) excreting the Leptospira questioning (most common form) of Gram-negative spiral bacteria. Its first symptoms are non-specific, flu-like (high fever, chills, headaches, myalgia and arthralgia), hence the often late treatment of moderate and severe forms. Its icterohemorrhagic form requires hospitalization in intensive care and leads to death in approximately 10% of cases. Administered early, antibiotic therapy with cyclin

Upsurge in whooping cough in Europe, call for increased vigilance in France
Whooping cough is a highly contagious bacterial infection whose transmission occurs mainly within the family or in communities through contact with a sick person with a cough. Even though the number of cases of whooping cough has decreased significantly since the introduction of the vaccine, the bacteria continues to circulate. Infants too young to be vaccinated and adolescents and adults who have lost vaccine protection are the most affected populations. Outside our borders, Europe is currently experiencing an upsurge in cases of whooping cough with significant epidemics in Croatia, Denmark and the United Kingdom and significant increases in Belgium, Spain and Germany. In France, since the start of 2024, around twenty grouped cases (or clusters) have been reported to Public Health France in 8 French regions versus 2 grouped cases in a single region (Ile-de-France) for throughout 2023. Given this clear increase in the number of cluster cases reported, Public Health France remains vigilant and recalls the importance of vaccination to protect people at risk of serious forms.
A resumption of the circulation of whooping cough begins in France
Whooping cough progresses in cycles of recrudescence every 3 to 5 years. In France, surveillance data from the RENACOQ network (the hospital pertussis surveillance network) have shown six epidemic peaks in recent years: 1997, 2000, 2005, 2009, 2012-2013 and 2017-2018. Since the last peak of whooping cough (162 cases reported), the number of cases has continued to decrease to reach 34 cases in 2020 and 4 cases in 2021 in infants under 12 months. Same observation regarding the data from the Sentinelles network (the research and monitoring network in primary care general medicine and pediatrics in mainland France) reporting 1 case per year in the general population over the same period. Even if a rebound in the disease could be expected in France in 20

The most important things at a glance
Tagesschau speaker Jens Riewa has now opened up in the NDR format “Käpt’n’s Dinner” about an anxiety disorder that makes life difficult for him in certain situations. “I have massive claustrophobia,” Riewa confessed to moderator Michel Abdollahi right at the beginning.
