Malnutrition and overweight often start with inadequate food consumption, followed by alterations in biochemical indices and body composition. In our study, we aimed to analyze the feeding habits and energy and nutrient intake of a Hungarian elderly population, focusing on macronutrient, water, fruit, and vegetable consumption while searching for possible nutritional factors leading to NCD and many other chronic diseases in this population. Two questionnaires were used. These were the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) and one asking about nutritional habits, and a 3-day feeding diary was also filled. Subjects (n = 179, 111; females (F), 68 males (M), older than 50 years were recruited. Based on MNA results, 78 adults (43.57% of the studied population) were malnourished or at risk of malnutrition, although, according to BMI categories, 69% were overweight and 7.3% were obese among M, while 42.3% were overweight among F. The average daily meal number was diverse. The amount of people consuming fruit (11.7%) and vegetables (8.93%) several times a day was extremely low (15.3% of F and 4.4% of M). Daily fruit consumption in the whole sample was 79.3%. Overall, 36.3% consumed 1 L of liquid and 0.5 L of consumption was found in 15.1% of participants. A significant gender difference was found in water consumption, with F drinking more than M (p ≤ 0.01). In our sample, 27.93% of the respondents took dietary supplements. Further analysis and research are needed to explore the specific health implications of and reasons behind these findings.}, year = {2024}, eissn = {2072-6643} } @article{MTMT:34779404, title = {Investigation of Factors Related to Sport-Specific Compulsory Element Execution in Artistic Swimming}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34779404}, author = {Laski, Vivien and Ureczky, Dóra and Wilhelm, Márta}, doi = {10.3390/sports12040096}, journal-iso = {SPORTS}, journal = {SPORTS}, volume = {12}, unique-id = {34779404}, issn = {2075-4663}, abstract = {Artistic swimming is an Olympic sport requiring a high level of fitness, as well as technical skills, artistry, flexibility, a good sense of rhythm, remarkable lung capacity and physical strength.

Due to the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application, this study aimed to measure the technical elements, strength parameters, and swimming performance of young artistic swimmers and to compare swimming performance and strength with the quality of artistic element performances. Hungarian female junior artistic swimmers (14.36 ± 1.01 year) participated in this study. Swimming tests were performed, and three basic elements (body boost, barracuda, and vertical position) were scored. A negative correlation was found between 100 m freestyle swimming times and vertical position scores, as well as between 50 m breaststroke leg swimming times and body boost scores. Moreover, three months of breaststroke leg swim training resulted in improvements in body boost performance. In addition, a positive correlation was found between mean hand grip strength and barracuda scores, as well as between vertical position scores. According to the results of three months of breaststroke leg training, swimming practice improves artistic swimming performance by itself. A correlation was found between strength parameters and the execution of synchro elements, showing the importance of complex training strategies in this sport.}, keywords = {sports performance; hand grip strength; artistic swimming; force plate test}, year = {2024} } @article{MTMT:34755225, title = {Amygdala Volume is Associated with ADHD Risk and Severity Beyond Comorbidities in Adolescents: Clinical Testing of Brain Chart Reference Standards}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34755225}, author = {Nárai, Ádám and Hermann, P. and Rádosi, Alexandra and Vakli, P. and Weiss, Béla and Réthelyi, János and Bunford, N. and Vidnyánszky, Z.}, doi = {10.1007/s10802-024-01190-0}, journal-iso = {RES CHILD ADOLES PSY}, journal = {RESEARCH ON CHILD AND ADOLESCENT PSYCHOPATHOLOGY}, unique-id = {34755225}, issn = {2730-7166}, abstract = {Understanding atypicalities in ADHD brain correlates is a step towards better understanding ADHD etiology. Efforts to map atypicalities at the level of brain structure have been hindered by the absence of normative reference standards. Recent publication of brain charts allows for assessment of individual variation relative to age- and sex-adjusted reference standards and thus estimation not only of case-control differences but also of intraindividual prediction. Methods. Aim was to examine, whether brain charts can be applied in a sample of adolescents (N = 140, 38% female) to determine whether atypical brain subcortical and total volumes are associated with ADHD at-risk status and severity of parent-rated symptoms, accounting for self-rated anxiety and depression, and parent-rated oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) as well as motion. Results. Smaller bilateral amygdala volume was associated with ADHD at-risk status, beyond effects of comorbidities and motion, and smaller bilateral amygdala volume was associated with inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity, beyond effects of comorbidities except for ODD symptoms, and motion. Conclusions. Individual differences in amygdala volume meaningfully add to estimating ADHD risk and severity. Conceptually, amygdalar involvement is consistent with behavioral and functional imaging data on atypical reinforcement sensitivity as a marker of ADHD-related risk. Methodologically, results show that brain chart reference standards can be applied to address clinically informative, focused and specific questions. © The Author(s) 2024.}, keywords = {Adolescent; MRI; ADHD; normative modeling; Brain Chart}, year = {2024}, eissn = {2730-7174}, orcid-numbers = {Nárai, Ádám/0000-0001-5972-6509; Rádosi, Alexandra/0000-0003-1004-6611; Weiss, Béla/0000-0003-1031-0283; Réthelyi, János/0000-0002-3641-012X} } @article{MTMT:34753300, title = {Accelerating targeted mosquito control efforts through mobile West Nile virus detection}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34753300}, author = {Varga, Zsaklin and Bueno-Marí, Rubén and Risueño Iranzo, José and Kurucz, Kornélia and Tóth, Gábor Endre and Zana, Brigitta and Zeghbib, Safia and Görföl, Tamás and Jakab, Ferenc and Kemenesi, Gábor}, doi = {10.1186/s13071-024-06231-7}, journal-iso = {PARASITE VECT}, journal = {PARASITES AND VECTORS}, volume = {17}, unique-id = {34753300}, issn = {1756-3305}, year = {2024}, eissn = {1756-3305}, orcid-numbers = {Bueno-Marí, Rubén/0000-0002-4898-8519; Risueño Iranzo, José/0000-0001-5006-7738; Kurucz, Kornélia/0000-0001-6190-1265; Tóth, Gábor Endre/0000-0002-7201-9646; Görföl, Tamás/0000-0002-1910-4024; Kemenesi, Gábor/0000-0001-9775-3065} } @article{MTMT:34575268, title = {Beneath the surface: Decoding the impact of Chironomus riparius bioturbation on microplastic dispersion in sedimentary matrix}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34575268}, author = {Sebteoui, Khouloud and Milošević, Djuradj and Stanković, Jelena and Baranov, Viktor and Jovanović, Boris and Krause, Stefan and Csabai, Zoltán Szabolcs}, doi = {10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.170844}, journal-iso = {SCI TOTAL ENVIRON}, journal = {SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT}, volume = {919}, unique-id = {34575268}, issn = {0048-9697}, year = {2024}, eissn = {1879-1026}, orcid-numbers = {Csabai, Zoltán Szabolcs/0000-0003-1700-2574} } @article{MTMT:34568140, title = {Study protocol of the Hungarian Longitudinal Study of Healthy Brain Aging (HuBA).}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34568140}, author = {Bankó, Éva Mária and Weiss, Béla and Hevesi, István and Manga, Annamária Eszter and Vakli, Pál and Havadi-Nagy, Menta and Kelemen, Rebeka and Somogyi, Eszter and Homolya, István and Bihari, Adél and Simon, Ádám and Nárai, Ádám and Tóth, Krisztina and Báthori, Noémi and Tomacsek, Vivien and Horváth, András Attila and Kamondi, Anita and Racsmány, Mihály and Dénes, Ádám and Simor, Péter and Kovács, Tibor and Hermann, Petra and Vidnyánszky, Zoltán}, doi = {10.18071/isz.77.0051}, journal-iso = {IDEGGYOGY SZEMLE}, journal = {IDEGGYOGYASZATI SZEMLE / CLINICAL NEUROSCIENCE}, volume = {77}, unique-id = {34568140}, issn = {0019-1442}, abstract = {Neuro­cog­nitive aging and the associated brain diseases impose a major social and economic burden. Therefore, substantial efforts have been put into revealing the lifestyle, the neurobiological and the genetic underpinnings of healthy neurocognitive aging. However, these studies take place almost exclusively in a limited number of highly-developed countries. Thus, it is an important open question to what extent their findings may generalize to neurocognitive aging in other, not yet investigated regions. The purpose of the Hungarian Longitudinal Study of Healthy Brain Aging (HuBA) is to collect multi-modal longitudinal data on healthy neurocognitive aging to address the data gap in this field in Central and Eastern Europe..We adapted the Australian Ima­ging, Biomarkers and Lifestyle (AIBL) study of aging study protocol to local circumstances and collected demographic, lifestyle, men­tal and physical health, medication and medical history related information as well as re­cor­ded a series of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data. In addition, participants were al­so offered to participate in the collection of blood samples to assess circulating in­flam­matory biomarkers as well as a sleep study aimed at evaluating the general sleep quality based on multi-day collection of subjective sleep questionnaires and whole-night elec­troencephalographic (EEG) data..Baseline data collection has al­ready been accomplished for more than a hundred participants and data collection in the se­condsession is on the way. The collected data might reveal specific local trends or could also indicate the generalizability of previous findings. Moreover, as the HuBA protocol al­so offers a sleep study designed for tho­rough characterization of participants’ sleep quality and related factors, our extended multi-modal dataset might provide a base for incorporating these measures into healthy and clinical aging research. .Besides its straightforward na­tional benefits in terms of health ex­pen­di­ture, we hope that this Hungarian initiative could provide results valid for the whole Cent­ral and Eastern European region and could also promote aging and Alzheimer’s disease research in these countries..}, keywords = {sleep; Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI); neurocognitive aging; neuro­in­flam­mation}, year = {2024}, eissn = {2498-6208}, pages = {51-59}, orcid-numbers = {Bankó, Éva Mária/0009-0001-5354-5077; Weiss, Béla/0000-0003-1031-0283; Nárai, Ádám/0000-0001-5972-6509; Báthori, Noémi/0000-0003-3971-4441; Kamondi, Anita/0000-0001-9860-730X; Kovács, Tibor/0000-0002-8603-8848} } @article{MTMT:34485184, title = {Assessing the Effect of Plant Growth Stimulants and Retardants on Cyclamen “Halios F1 Salmon Rose” Cultivar}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34485184}, author = {Bálint, János and Benedek, Klára and Csorba, Artúr Botond}, doi = {10.3390/horticulturae10010053}, journal-iso = {HORTICULTURAE}, journal = {HORTICULTURAE}, volume = {10}, unique-id = {34485184}, abstract = {In Eastern Europe, the traditional marketing of cyclamen is in the period from the middle of February to the middle of March.

This can be solved with growth stimulants. In the experiment, we tested the effect of growth regulators on the growth of a frequently used variety of cyclamen. We used daminozide and paclobutrazol plant growth retardants for height control and gibberellic acid (GA) and benzyladenine (BAP) as growth promoters for increasing the number of flowers and the length of stems.

Aging not only affects memory processes, but may also disturb attention, vigilance, and other executive functions. In the present study, we aimed to investigate age-related cognitive deficits in rats and associated molecular alterations in the brain. We also aimed to test the effects of the alpha7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) agonist PHA-543613 on memory as well as on the sustained attention and vigilance of aged rats. Short- and long-term spatial memories of the rats were tested using the Morris water maze (MWM) task. To measure attention and vigilance, we designed a rat version of the psychomotor vigilance task (PVT) that is frequently used in human clinical examinations. At the end of the behavioral experiments, mRNA and protein expression of alpha7 nAChRs, cytokines, and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) were quantitatively measured in the hippocampus, frontal cortex, striatum, and cerebellum. Aged rats showed marked cognitive deficits in both the MWM and the PVT. The deficit was accompanied by increased IL-1beta and TNFalpha mRNA expression and decreased BDNF protein expression in the hippocampus. PHA-543613 significantly improved the reaction time of aged rats in the PVT, especially for unexpectedly appearing stimuli, while only slightly (non-significantly) alleviating spatial memory deficits in the MWM. These results indicate that targeting alpha7 nAChRs may be an effective strategy for the amelioration of attention and vigilance deficits in age-related neurocognitive disorders.}, year = {2024}, eissn = {2509-2723}, pages = {645-664}, orcid-numbers = {Bali, Zsolt Kristóf/0000-0003-0712-0788; Hernádi, István/0000-0001-7882-4817} }
