In the literature

An increased incidence of auto-immunity, exposure to pathogens both pre- and postnatally, and findings of antibodies to brain-specific antigens are common in disorders as diverse as anxiety, autism, depression, obsessive–compulsive disorder, schizophrenia, Parkinson’s disease (PD), and AD, together suggesting that differences in exposure and genetic vulnerability toward HM-mediated auto-immunity may be significant determinants of age-related neurological disease course and outcome as humans age ( 14 , 17 , 23 , 39 , 42 – 46 ); (6) secretory products of the GI-tract microbiome and translocation of these signaling molecules via the lymphatic and systemic circulation throughout the CNS are just beginning to be identified.
Home rebound tonometry depends on patient adherence and is less suitable for nocturnal measurements, although it does not require surgical implantation; however, recurring costs for disposable components may be significant. 41 , 42 , 43 Contact lens–based sensors, such as the Sensimed Triggerfish (Sensimed SA), provide 24-hour recordings but are costly, limited to short-term use, and report IOP-related changes in arbitrary units rather than mmHg. 9 , 44 While the telemetric system used in this study was restricted to patient-initiated measurements, newer device iterations already enable automated and thus even more frequent data acquisition, for example, through wearable reader systems integrated into eyeglasses.
Animal studies, using tract tracing, electrical stimulation, lesioning, and neural recording techniques were instrumental in identifying key subcortical regions important for bladder control, including the PMC which represents the major outflow tract to initiate micturition ( Loewy et al., 1979 ; Holstege et al., 1986 ; Blok and Holstege, 1997 ), the pontine continence center ( Holstege et al., 1986 ; Griffiths et al., 1990 ), the PAG, which receives afferent information about bladder filling and may be significant in switching from storage to voiding mode ( Noto et al., 1991 ; Blok et al., 1995 ; Liu et al., 2004 ), and the globus pallidus ( Lewin and Porter, 1965 ; Porter et al., 1971 ), amongst many others.
The researchers conceded that there may be significant limitations to their analyses, as their conclusions were borne out of a meta-analysis of diverse commute-related datasets, and as a result, there may very easily be confounding factors–such as survey types/questions [26] , analysis units [27] – [28] , types of trips included [29] – [30] –in how the data are collected/analyzed that would have influenced the observed outcomes.
