Abstract: The use of a bacterium of the species Lactobacillus salivarius in the manufacture of a food product, dietary supplement or medicament for treating cardiac dysfunction, particularly myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, dilated cardiomyopathy or inflammatory heart disease (including endocarditis, inflammatory cardiomegaly and myocarditis) is disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention provides compositions and methods useful in the diagnosis and treatment of a variety of cognitive impairments including vascular cognitive impairment and dementia, and Alzheimer's Disease. In one particular embodiment, the level of the neurofilament light protein and/or phosphorylated tau (e.g., p-tau181) is used to diagnose a cognitive impairment or monitor the efficacy of a therapy.

Abstract: The present invention provides oligopeptides, in particular, Ang-(1-7) derivatives, and methods for using and producing the same. In one particular embodiment, oligopeptides of the invention have higher blood-brain barrier penetration and/or in vivo half-life compared to the native Ang-(1-7), thereby allowing oligopeptides of the invention to be used in a wide variety of clinical applications including in treatment of cognitive dysfunction and pain.

Abstract: This invention relates to new uses of Bifidobacteria (particularly, although not exclusively, probiotic Bifidobacteria), and to food products, feed products, dietary supplements and pharmaceutical formulations containing them. The bacteria are suitable for the treatment of myocardial infarction and congestive heart failure.

The bacteria are suitable for the treatment of myocardial infarction, dilated cardiomyopathy, inflammatory heart disease (including endocarditis, inflammatory cardiomegaly and myocarditis), and congestive heart failure.

Abstract: The present invention provides compositions and methods for treating cognitive impairment or dysfunction in a subject. In particular, the present invention provides a method for using a composition comprising an angiotensin-(1-7) receptor agonist to treat cognitive dysfunction or impairment that is due to a various clinical conditions including, but not limited to, those associated with increase in inflammation, cytokine production, increases in reactive oxygen species, changes in expression of brain inflammatory related genes and/or in the expression of genes involved in learning and memory within the central nervous system of a subject.
