Thomas Jackson underwent proton beam therapy and 10 months of chemotherapy
A future cricket star who underwent intense treatment after being diagnosed with a brain tumour was given a night to remember to honour his inspiration courage and determination.
The inspirational teenager plays cricket at county level for Lancashire Cricket and received a host of support from his teammates at club and county level. Video messages were also sent in by England cricketers Jos Buttler. Joe Root and Lancashire legend Jimmy Anderson.Thomas was also honoured with the AO Recovery of the Year award last year following months of treatment for the tumour.
The Hits Radio Live event was seen as the ideal opportunity to invite the family down as special guests, since one of Thomas’ favourite acts, YouTube star and musician KSI, was performing. The teams at the AO Arena and Hits Radio, the radio station behind the event, worked hard to deliver the full VIP treatment for the group, with the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to go backstage and meet one of the stars, Olly Murs.

Gut microbiome, cognitive function and brain structure: a multi-omics integration analysis - Translational NeurodegenerationBackground Microbiome-gut-brain axis may be involved in the progression of age-related cognitive impairment and relevant brain structure changes, but evidence from large human cohorts is lacking. This study was aimed to investigate the associations of gut microbiome with cognitive impairment and brain structure based on multi-omics from three independent populations. Methods We included 1430 participants from the Guangzhou Nutrition and Health Study (GNHS) with both gut microbiome and cognitive assessment data available as a discovery cohort, of whom 272 individuals provided fecal samples twice before cognitive assessment. We selected 208 individuals with baseline microbiome data for brain magnetic resonance imaging during the follow-up visit. Fecal 16S rRNA and shotgun metagenomic sequencing, targeted serum metabolomics, and cytokine measurements were performed in the GNHS. The validation analyses were conducted in an Alzheimer’s disease case–control study (replication study 1, n = 90) and another community-based cohort (replication study 2, n = 1300) with cross-sectional dataset. Results We found protective associations of specific gut microbial genera (Odoribacter, Butyricimonas, and Bacteroides) with cognitive impairment in both the discovery cohort and the replication study 1. Result of Bacteroides was further validated in the replication study 2. Odoribacter was positively associated with hippocampal volume (β, 0.16; 95% CI 0.06–0.26, P = 0.002), which might be mediated by acetic acids. Increased intra-individual alterations in gut microbial composition were found in participants with cognitive impairment. We also identified several serum metabolites and inflammation-associated metagenomic species and pathways linked to impaired cognition. Conclusions Our findings reveal that specific gut microbial features are closely associated with cognitive impairment and decreased hippocampal volume, which may play an important role in dementia development.
