The most harmful industrial ingredients contributing to dementia risk are processed meat preservatives (nitrites/nitrates), added sugars (high-fructose corn syrup), and chemical additives like emulsifiers. Rather than focusing on a single nutrient, public health studiesโ€”including recent 2026 data from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Healthโ€”point to specific chemical formulations and industrial ingredients that directly […]

Demystifying Long-Horizon Survival Forecasting in Oncology HTAโ€”Perspective Manuscript

Dear Drs. xxxxxxxxxxxx and xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, I write to inquire whether the Journal of Clinical Epidemiology would consider a Perspective manuscript entitled xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. The manuscript (~5,100 words, 37 references) addresses a problem that experienced clinical epidemiologists and HTA reviewers recognize but that the published literature has been reluctant to name directly: when Phase 3 trials produce […]

Adeno-associated virus serotype 9 (AAV9): tool of gene therapy that crosses the BBB

Adeno-associated virus serotype 9 (AAV9) is highly valued in gene therapy because it can cross the blood-brain barrier. It is primarily used to treat monogenic neurological and neuromuscular disorders, most notably Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA). AAV9 vectors deliver functional genetic material to replace or suppress faulty genes. Approved treatments and advanced clinical trials using AAV9 […]

Niacinamide is currently one of the most celebrated ingredients in skincare, praised in every beauty and wellness journal for its ability to strengthen the skin barrier topically. But lately, there has been a lot of buzz about taking it orally to prevent skin cancer. Does the science back up the hype? Yesโ€”but with some major […]

Real-World Evidence vs. Meta-Analyses: The Evolving Debate on Nicotinamide for Skin Cancer Chemoprevention

Real-World Evidence vs. Meta-Analyses: The Evolving Debate on Nicotinamide for Skin Cancer Chemoprevention The clinical utility of oral nicotinamide (NAM) for non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) chemoprevention remains a prime example of the tension between landmark RCT data, real-world evidence (RWE), and systematic evidence syntheses. While the 2015 Phase 3 ONTRAC trial established a 23% reduction […]
