New alpha-emitting radiopharmaceutical therapy achieves strong responses in advanced prostate cancer

A new alpha-emitting radiopharmaceutical therapy (RPT) for advanced prostate cancer was well tolerated, with no dose-limiting toxicities observed, and showed encouraging signs of antitumor activity, according to a phase 1 trial published in The Journal of Nuclear Medicine's Late-Breaking Fast Track.

Millions get GLP-1 drugs through channels insurance records may miss

Researchers analyzed reports from 9,150 US adults and found that current or previous GLP-1/GIP use rose from 8.2% to 12% between March 2024 and October 2025, largely driven by weight-loss indications. They also estimated that approximately one-third of users obtained treatment through nontraditional channels that standard insurance claims may fail to capture.

Beer and liquor show more oral bacteria links than wine in a large US study

Researchers analyzed beverage intake and oral microbiome data from 5,598 adults across three US cohorts and found that alcohol consumption showed the strongest associations with oral bacterial diversity and composition among the beverages examined. Higher alcohol intake was associated with greater bacterial richness and differences in genera linked to oral health, but the cross-sectional preprint could not establish whether alcohol caused these differences or influenced disease risk.

Study reveals a broad shift away from overtreatment of low-risk prostate cancer

An analysis of United States data reveals a broad shift away from overtreatment of low-risk prostate cancer.

Clues to prostate cancer risk in blood samples taken 15 years earlier

Recent study links blood proteins to aggressive prostate cancer, identifying potential biomarkers for early risk prediction and insights into immune activity.

Can happy feelings trigger eating too? Researchers explored both sides of emotional eating

Among 3,834 members of weight-management programs, greater recent weight loss was associated with less emotional eating, fewer food cravings, and better mood. Participants identified distraction, meal planning, healthier food swaps, and group support as helpful strategies, but the observational study could not establish whether these approaches caused weight loss.

Beer, wine or spirits: A large study finds different mortality patterns for each

Researchers analyzed data from 340,924 UK Biobank participants and found that high total alcohol consumption was associated with greater all-cause, cardiovascular, and cancer mortality, while moderate consumption was linked to increased cancer mortality. Beer/cider and spirits showed associations with higher mortality across several outcomes, whereas low-to-moderate wine consumption was linked to lower mortality for certain outcomes, though the observational study cannot establish causation.

Abiraterone triplet therapy improves long-term survival in metastatic prostate cancer

Adding abiraterone to standard treatment provides a lasting survival benefit for men whose prostate cancer has already spread at diagnosis, reinforcing the value of early treatment intensification.

Decipher tissue-based molecular test helps personalize high-risk prostate cancer treatment

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men – in 2013, it affected more than one million men across the world.

Women and men face different heart attack risks with diabetes

Cholesterol abnormalities and high blood pressure contribute to diabetes-related heart attack risk, with significant implications for cardiovascular health.

$8.2 million grant advances on-demand male contraceptive development

Weill Cornell Medicine has received a four-year, $8.2 million grant from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) to develop and test an experimental on-demand male contraceptive pill that temporarily stops sperm in their tracks

Nearly three in four popular comfort foods have something in common, researchers find

A US study examining 300 distinct comfort foods identified chips, ice cream, pizza, chocolate, and cookies as the most frequently nominated choices among adults. Researchers found that nearly three-quarters of the foods met hyperpalatability criteria, while approximately 43% were entirely ultra-processed under a strict classification, with relatively small nutritional differences across demographic groups.

Scientists studied one million immune cells and found clues to future disease risk

Researchers developed a single-cell atlas of one million human neutrophils, identifying distinct immune cell populations and gene-expression patterns across tissues, infections, cancer, and other health conditions. Certain neutrophil signatures were associated with metabolic dysfunction, cancer outcomes, and mortality, while higher routine neutrophil counts, even within the normal range, were linked to an increased risk of chronic disease.

Study identifies blood proteins associated with aggressive prostate cancer risk

Proteins linked to the immune system, cell adhesion, blood vessel formation and known prostate cancer genes, were associated with the future risk of developing prostate cancer, including aggressive disease, in a new study led by researchers at Oxford Population Health.

What does emotional intelligence have to do with being happy at work?

A study of 244 Lebanese employees found that higher emotional intelligence was associated with greater job satisfaction, better work–life balance, and stronger work engagement. Statistical analysis identified work–life balance and job satisfaction as pathways linking emotional intelligence to engagement, although the cross-sectional findings cannot establish causation.

Like father, like son? Study reveals a surprising pattern in male reproductive health

Researchers examining 117 father-son pairs from Denmark and Finland identified weak but statistically significant familial associations in several male reproductive traits, including testicular size, sperm concentration, selected hormone levels, and genital measurements. The findings suggest that reproductive characteristics show limited resemblance across generations, although the study could not determine the relative contributions of genetic and environmental factors.

Beef can fit into healthy diets, but what about its environmental cost?

A narrative review published in Animal Frontiers highlights beef's contribution to high-quality protein and bioavailable micronutrients, while controlled trials generally found no adverse effects on selected cardiometabolic risk markers, although long-term disease outcomes remain uncertain. The authors argue that sustainable food policies should consider nutritional needs, environmental impacts, agricultural productivity, and rural livelihoods when evaluating beef's place in healthy diets.

A nine-year study reveals a pattern linking loneliness to heart risk

The study reveals that patterns of loneliness and social isolation significantly impact heart health, suggesting new avenues for cardiovascular risk assessment.

Rice, fish and pickles: Is the traditional Japanese diet as healthy as we think?

A systematic review of 37 studies found that greater adherence to predefined Japanese-style dietary patterns was associated with lower all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, based on pooled evidence from three cohort studies. However, health associations varied according to dietary composition, suggesting that traditional Japanese diet scores alone may not adequately distinguish the potential benefits and risks of different food combinations.
