    Abstract: ... and cultures represents our greatest chance to prevent the extinction of the world’s primates. ...

    Abstract Primates, represented by 521 species, are distributed across 91 countries primarily in the Neotropic, Afrotropic, and Indo-Malayan realms. Primates inhabit a wide range of habitats and play critical roles in sustaining healthy ecosystems that benefit human and nonhuman communities. Approximately 68% of primate species are threatened with extinction because of global pressures to convert their habitats for agricultural production and the extraction of natural resources. Here, we review the scientific literature and conduct a spatial analysis to assess the significance of Indigenous Peoples’ lands in safeguarding primate biodiversity. We found that Indigenous Peoples’ lands account for 30% of the primate range, and 71% of primate species inhabit these lands. As their range on these lands increases, primate species are less likely to be classified as threatened or have declining populations. Safeguarding Indigenous Peoples’ lands, languages, and cultures represents our greatest chance to prevent the extinction of the world’s primates.

    Abstract: ... to-creatinine ratio (uACR). We aimed to understand CKD testing among people with type 2 diabetes in the U.S ...

    Abstract Objective: Clinical guidelines for people with diabetes recommend chronic kidney disease (CKD) testing at least annually using estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (uACR). We aimed to understand CKD testing among people with type 2 diabetes in the U.S.
    Research design and methods: Electronic health record data were analyzed from 513,165 adults with type 2 diabetes receiving primary care from 24 health care organizations and 1,164 clinical practice sites. We assessed the percentage of patients with both one or more eGFRs and one or more uACRs and each test individually in the 1, 2, and 3 years ending September 2019 by health care organization and clinical practice site. Elevated albuminuria was defined as uACR ≥30 mg/g.
    Results: The 1-year median testing rate across organizations was 51.6% for both uACR and eGFR, 89.5% for eGFR, and 52.9% for uACR. uACR testing varied (10th-90th percentile) from 44.7 to 63.3% across organizations and from 13.3 to 75.4% across sites. Over 3 years, the median testing rate for uACR across organizations was 73.7%. Overall, the prevalence of detected elevated albuminuria was 15%. The average prevalence of detected elevated albuminuria increased linearly with uACR testing rates at sites, with estimated prevalence of 6%, 15%, and 30% at uACR testing rates of 20%, 50%, and 100%, respectively.
    Conclusions: While eGFR testing rates are uniformly high among people with type 2 diabetes, testing rates for uACR are suboptimal and highly variable across and within the organizations examined. Guideline-recommended uACR testing should increase detection of CKD.

    Abstract Development of disease-modifying therapies against Alzheimer’s disease (AD) requires biomarkers reflecting the diverse pathological pathways specific for AD. We measured 665 proteins in 797 cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples from patients with mild cognitive impairment with abnormal amyloid (MCI(Aβ+): n = 50), AD-dementia (n = 230), non-AD dementias (n = 322) and cognitively unimpaired controls (n = 195) using proximity ligation-based immunoassays. Here we identified >100 CSF proteins dysregulated in MCI(Aβ+) or AD compared to controls or non-AD dementias. Proteins dysregulated in MCI(Aβ+) were primarily related to protein catabolism, energy metabolism and oxidative stress, whereas those specifically dysregulated in AD dementia were related to cell remodeling, vascular function and immune system. Classification modeling unveiled biomarker panels discriminating clinical groups with high accuracies (area under the curve (AUC): 0.85–0.99), which were translated into custom multiplex assays and validated in external and independent cohorts (AUC: 0.8–0.99). Overall, this study provides novel pathophysiological leads delineating the multifactorial nature of AD and potential biomarker tools for diagnostic settings or clinical trials.

    Abstract AbstractBackgroundThe development of disease-modifying therapies against Alzheimer’s disease (AD) requires biomarker panels that reflect the diverse pathological pathways specifically involved in AD. Here we aimed to identify and validate panels of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) proteins covering different molecular pathways for early and specific diagnosis of AD.MethodWe measured 665 proteins in 797 CSF samples from patients with mild cognitive impairment with abnormal amyloid (MCI(Aβ+): n=50), AD-dementia (n=230), non-AD dementias (n=322; 123 DLB and 199 FTD) and cognitively-unimpaired controls (n=195; classical AD CSF biomarkers negative) using proximity ligation-based multiplex immunoassays. Nested and penalized linear modeling were used to identify protein differences (q<0,05) and translatable classification signatures.ResultWe detected highly dysregulated CSF proteins in MCI(Aβ+) or AD compared to controls (112 and 288 proteins respectively, lowest q:1-15 and 1-23), as well as between AD and non-AD dementias (469 proteins; lowest q:1-29). We confirmed previous findings (e.g., DDAH1, ENO2, PARK7), but we also identified novel proteins especially associated to the prodromal and/or dementia AD stages (e.g., ABL1, SCD4, ENTPD5). Proteins dysregulated in MCI(Aβ+) were primarily related to oxidative stress and energy metabolism, while those specifically dysregulated in later stages of AD dementia were related to cell remodeling, vascular function and immune system. Using penalised generalised linear modeling we identified the minimal number of markers with maximal power to discriminate clinical groups: for MCI(Aβ+) vs. controls: 10-CSF proteins, AUC:0.99 (95%CI:0.97-1); for AD vs. controls: 8-CSF proteins, AUC:0.95 (95%CI:0.92-0.99) and for AD vs. non-AD dementias: 9-CSF proteins, AUC:0.87 (95%CI:0.81-0.93). The CSF panel discriminating AD from cognitively unimpaired controls was validated in an independent external cohort (n=62, AUC:0.94). Only 3 proteins overlapped across panels, suggesting that the panels with ...

    Abstract Background: Although the ε4 allele of the apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) have been linked to cognitive dysfunction and dementia risk, it is unknown whether they interact to predict cognitive dysfunction.
    Methods: We analyzed data from European-American (EA) veterans who participated in the National Health and Resilience in Veterans Study (NHRVS): main sample (n = 1,386) and primary replication sample (n = 509). EAs from the Yale-Penn Study cohort (n = 948) served as a second replication sample. Multivariable analyses were conducted to evaluate the predictive effects of ε4 carrier status and PTSD on cognitive functioning, with a focus on whether PTSD moderates the effect of ε4 carrier status.
    Results: APOE ε4 allele carrier status (d = 0.15 and 0.17 in the main and primary replication NHRVS samples, respectively) and PTSD (d = 0.31 and 0.17, respectively) were independently associated with lower cognitive functioning. ε4 carriers with PTSD scored lower than those without PTSD (d = 0.68 and 1.29, respectively) with the most pronounced differences in executive function (d's = 0.75-1.50) and attention/concentration (d's = 0.62-1.33). A significant interaction was also observed in the Yale-Penn sample, with ε4 carriers with PTSD making more perseverative errors on a measure of executive function than those without PTSD (24.7% vs. 17.6%; d = 0.59).
    Conclusions: APOE ε4 allele carriers with PTSD have substantially greater cognitive difficulties than ε4 carriers without PTSD. These results underscore the importance of assessing, monitoring, and treating PTSD in trauma-affected individuals who are at genetic risk for cognitive decline and dementia.

    Abstract Polygenic risk scores (PRS) may help inform the etiology of suicidal thoughts and behaviors. In this study, we evaluated whether a suicidality PRS derived from a large genome-wide association study (GWAS) of suicidality from the UK Biobank (N = 122,935) predicted suicidal ideation (SI) in a 7-year population-based, prospective cohort of European-American US veterans (N = 1326). Results revealed that 8.8% (n = 115) of veterans developed new-onset SI, 4.0% (n = 52) had chronic SI, 3.4% (n = 31) had remitted SI, and 83.8% (n = 1128) denied SI over the study period.
