Mirrorlights: Autistic patients at high risk of Parkinson's disease: Study
autism spectrum disorder People with autism could be at a higher risk of developing Parkinson's disease early in life, according to a large-scale study that showed similar underlying biological mechanisms of the from the Karolinska Institutet questioned a possible connection between the neuropsychiatric diagnosis of(ASD), which affects an individual's thought processes, behaviour, and interpersonal communication, and early-onset Parkinson's disease -- a condition that affects locomotion and results, published in JAMA Neurology, show that people with an autism diagnosis were four times more likely to develop Parkinson's disease than people without such a diagnosis.'This indicates that there can be shared biological drivers behind ASD and Parkinson's disease,' said Weiyao Yin, researcher at the Department of Medical Epidemiology and Biostatistics, Karolinska Institutet.'One hypothesis is that the brain's dopamine system is affected in both cases, since the neurotransmitter dopamine plays an important part in social behavior and motion control,' Yin study is based on registry data from over two million people born in Sweden between 1974 and 1999, who were followed from the ageof 20 up to the end of is well-known that dopamine-producing neurons are degraded in Parkinson's studies have also shown that dopamine is possibly implicated in autism, but more research needs to be done to confirm this.'We hope that our results will eventually help to bring greater clarity to the underlying causes of both ASD and Parkinson's disease,' Yin for more studies, the researchers urged healthcare services to keep people with ASD -- a vulnerable group with high co-morbidity and high use of psychotropics -- under long-term observation.

Former champ Kim in six-way tie for US Women's Open lead
Fellow South Korean Im Jin-hee, Japan's Rio Takeda, Americans Yealimi Noh and Angel Yin and Spanish LPGA rookie Julia Lopez Ramirez shared the lead, one stroke in front of a group of five players tied on three-under-par 69. Another seven players were two adrift, but Kim said she wouldn't expend her energy worrying about who might be in striking distance. "Honestly, I'm not thinking about (the) leaderboard because my job is process, not result," said Kim, who won the 2020 US Open in her major championship debut. "Next three days, I play the same thing as today: focus on my line, hit it. That's all." With little wind, Erin Hills, the rolling 6,829-yard par-72 layout in Erin, Wisconsin, offered perhaps its most benign face for the first round of the first US Women's Open to be held there. Noh, who holed out for an eagle at the 14th and birdied the par-five 18th, called it a "good scoring day". But plenty of marquee names were unable to join the 33 players to shoot under par. All about patience World number one Nelly Korda was playing catchup after a bogey at the third, finally getting to even par 72 with a birdie at the par-five 18th. Defending champion Yuka Saso's bid for a third US Open title in five seasons got off to a rocky start with a two-over-par 74. World number two Jeeno Thitikul of Tailand opened with a three-over 75 while third-ranked Lydia Ko of New Zealand -- whose resume includes three major titles but no US Open -- posted a one-over 73. "I think I'm happy with it," Korda said. "Obviously, I wish the ball found the bottom of the cup a little bit more. "First day of the US Open, it's all about patience. I'm striking it pretty well, so hopefully I can carry that into the next couple days." While Korda struggled to get things going, Kim opened with back-to-back birdies at the 10th and 11th. After a bogey at the 12th she added birdies at 16 and 17 and took the solo lead at five-under with birdie bombs at the first and third before giving a stroke back at the sixth. Takeda had three birdies and one bogey on each side while Im opened with nine straight pars and had all four of her birdies in a five-hole span from the 10th through the 14th. Lopez Ramirez was also bogey-free, an impressive performance for the 22-year-old who came through qualifying to book her first US Open appearance. "Honestly it's been my first bogey-free round since I turned pro, so it's quite exciting," said the Spaniard, whose season was disrupted by an appendectomy in March. Lopez Ramirez and Yin were among the afternoon starters, Yin shaking off an early bogey with five birdies -- including three in a row at eight, nine and 10 -- before a setback at 17. In the right rough off the tee she came up short of the green, then saw her third shot spin off into a collection area, from where she managed to salvage a bogey. "This is what this course can do," said Yin, who regained a share of the lead with a birdie at the last.

Six-way tie for lead after first round of U.S. Women's Open at Erin Hills
ERIN, Wis. — Angel Yin started experimenting with a new putter about a month ago and decided to use it in a tournament for the first time at the most prestigious event in women's golf. The move worked well in the first round at Erin Hills. Yin made a 13 1/2-foot birdie putt on the par-5 18th for a 4-under 68 and a share of the U.S. Women's Open lead with 2020 champion A Lim Kim, Jinhee Im, Yealimi Noh, Rio Takeda and Julia Lopez Ramirez. 'I know U.S. Open is going to be extremely fast, so I wanted to find a putter that will hold the ground and just do what I want it to do,' Yin said. 'It just so happened to be this putter. I started tinkering with it like about a month ago, and I got lucky to use it.' The 26-year-old from California qualified for the U.S. Women's Open as a 13-year-old at Blackwolf Run in Kohler, Wisconsin, back in 2012. She has experienced plenty of ups and downs since at this event. She tied for second in 2019 at the Country Club of Charleston in South Carolina, but that's the last time she finished under par at the U.S. Women's Open. Yin missed the cut last year with a pair of 75s. 'Either really good or really, really terrible, where I don't see the weekend,' Yin said. 'I think it just says a lot about the championship. You have to play your best. There is no mediocre. … You can try to make good saves, but at the end of the day, if you don't have it, you don't have it.' The biggest surprise among the early leaders was Lopez Ramirez, who had a bogey-free round in her U.S. Women's Open debut. Lopez Ramirez won consecutive Southeastern Conference titles at Mississippi State in 2023 and 2024, but she suffered a major setback earlier this year when what she initially believed was a bout of food poisoning actually was a case of appendicitis. Less than three months after her appendectomy, the Spaniard was in early contention at the top event in women's golf. 'I feel like my confidence is coming back,' said Lopez Ramirez, whose highest finish this year is a tie for 29th. Takeda started at No. 10 and made six birdies in a nine-hole stretch from No. 14 through No. 4 to make up for her bogeys at Nos. 17 and 2. Noh benefited from an eagle in the par-5 14th. Im had a bogey-free round that included four birdies in a span of five holes from Nos. 10-14. Kim made birdie putts of 42 feet on No. 1 and 32 feet on No. 3. Chisato Iwai, Nasa Hataoka, Chiara Tamburlini, Youmin Hwang and Yui Kawamoto shot 69. Hinako Shibuno, Maja Stark, Pajaree Anannarukarn, Jiwon Jean, Shiho Kuwaki, Gaby Lopez and Mao Saigo were at 70. Saigo won the year's first major, the Chevron Championship in Texas. Those scores are notable because only two players finished under par in last year's U.S. Women's Open at Lancaster Country Club in Pennsylvania, with Yuka Saso posting a winning four-round total of 4-under 276. Saso, who is seeking her third U.S. Women's Open title, had a 74 on Thursday. Noh said the low scores at the 6,829-yard, par-72 course didn't surprise her. Erin Hills' difficulty often is based on the strength of the wind, and it was relatively calm early Thursday. Stronger winds are expected Friday. 'There are some tees out that are pulled up, and a lot of the par-5s, I think all of them are reachable,' Noh said. 'Some par 3s were shorter than normal. So, I think for sure, with the minimal wind today, it was definitely a good scoring day.' As an indication of how forgiving this course can be when there isn't much wind, Brooks Koepka won the 2017 U.S. Open at 16 under to tie the tournament record during a pretty calm week at Erin Hills. Golf Channel Staff, Nelly Korda, the world's top-ranked player, had a 72 as she chases her first U.S. Women's Open title. She has never finished her than a tie for eighth. Korda entered this week having birdied an LPGA Tour-leading 29.17% of the time, but she didn't make a single birdie until her final hole of the day. This still represented a better start for Korda than last year, when she made a 10 on her third hole of the tournament, carded an 80 in the opening round and went on to miss the cut. 'Overall, I can't complain,' Korda said. 'First day of the U.S. Open, it's all about patience. I'm striking it pretty well, so hopefully I can carry that into the next couple days.' Second-ranked Jeeno Thitikul had a 75. No. 3 Lydia Ko shot 73.
