ADepT, a Novel Type of Talk Therapy Targeting Anhedonia

  CMS in Medium 07-18-2023 A new trial shows how Augmented Depression Therapy benefits depressed patients Depression and Anhedonia Anhedonia, the diminished capacity to experience pleasure, is a symptom associated with a myriad of disease processes. It is a prevalent feature of depression. Approximately 95% of depressed individuals report some loss of interest or pleasure and more than one third show severe anhedonic symptoms. Functional neuroimaging studies have revealed that anhedonia is characterized by decreased responsiveness of mesocorticolimbic reward processing brain circuitry Imbalances in neurotransmitters, or chemical messengers secreted by nerves, have also been investigated in relation to anhedonia. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter involved in reward pathways. Reduced dopamine expression in the ventral striatum has been found to correlate with increased severity of anhedonia. Even people with anhedonia may have a reduced capacity to experience pleasure, they can keep th...

Cognitive impairment is the beginning of dementia processes that appear because of various diseases affecting the brain. Recently, according to a study published in the prestigious journal Nature, the administration of a protein called klotho in elderly primates improved cognitive function. This could lead, according to the UNQ Scientific News Agency, to clinical trials in humans in the medium term. What is Klotho?

The safety of aspartame is under review by WHO after conflicting findings.

Aspartame, a sweetener with health effects Since 1981, the WHO expert committee on additives has confirmed the safety of aspartame consumption within acceptable daily limits. The international organization has established that the acceptable daily intake (ADI) of aspartame is 40 milligrams per kilogram of body weight. This means that a person can consume up to 40 mg of aspartame per kilogram of their body weight per day without risking their health. For example, if someone weighs 60 kilos, the allowable amount of aspartame would be 2,400 milligrams (40 mg/kg x 60 kg). In recent years, several studies have been carried out on the effects of aspartame on health. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has reviewed the scientific evidence related to the safety of this sweetener five times since its approval in 1981, and has concluded that it remains safe for use. However, it is being studied again. It has an especially important use in low-calorie beverages consumed by children and pregnan...

Brain health. Promising prebiotics and probiotics combination

According to new research, the bacteria in our gut, known as gut microbiota, play an important role in brain injury and healing after a stroke. Taking particular types of prebiotics and probiotics can help with brain injury, inflammation, gut bacteria imbalances, and intestinal health. However, we still don't know whether prebiotics, probiotics, or synbiotics (a combination of both) perform best for particular conditions, or how they operate. In this study, scientists tested a new synbiotic formulation containing multiple strains of probiotics Lactobacillus reuteri UBLRu-87 Lactobacillus plantarum UBLP-40 Lactobacillus rhamnosus UBLR-58 Lactobacillus salivarius UBLS-22 Bifidobacterium breve UBBr-01 and prebiotic fructooligosaccharides (FOS)  FOS are extracted from the blue agave plant and fruits and vegetables such as bananas, onions, chicory root, garlic, asparagus, jícama, and leeks. Some grains and cereals, such as wheat and barley, also contain FOS. The Jerusalem artichoke and ...
