 | | |  Study reveals what people ask AI chatbots about health most often Researchers analyzed more than 500,000 de-identified Microsoft Copilot health conversations from January 2026 and found that health information queries were most common, while nearly one in five conversations involved personal symptoms or condition-related concerns. | | | | |  What are the best alternatives to opioids for chronic pain relief This article examines emerging non-opioid strategies for chronic pain, from targeted ion-channel drugs and anti-inflammatory biologics to neuromodulation, behavioral therapies, and digital pain tools. It highlights how precision, multimodal care may improve pain control while reducing reliance on opioids. | |

| | | | |  In a US societal-perspective lifetime simulation based on SURMOUNT-5 data, tirzepatide was projected to deliver lower total costs and better health outcomes than semaglutide for adults with obesity or overweight without type 2 diabetes. | | | | |  A qualitative study of 30 UK adults found that many people see ultra-processed foods as unhealthy but struggle to define them clearly or distinguish them from other processed foods. The findings suggest that clearer communication and food-environment changes, not education alone, may be needed to help people reduce UPF intake. | | | | |  In a large ASPREE and ASPREE-XT nested case-control study of older adults without prior cardiovascular disease, people who later experienced a CVD event showed faster cognitive decline beginning roughly 3 to 8 years before the event. Processing speed declined earliest, suggesting that subtle cognitive changes may emerge well before overt cardiovascular disease. | | | | |  Researchers created a new questionnaire to measure major life changes linked to psychedelic use and found that most surveyed adults reporting naturalistic psychedelic use said psychedelics had influenced at least one major change in their lives. These changes most often involved goals, values, and spirituality, were usually rated positively, and were more commonly reported by people with more frequent use. | | | | |  Urban environments shape microbial exposure through building design, occupancy, ventilation, moisture, and contact with green space, with important consequences for infection risk, immune development, and respiratory health. | | | | |  See how Bambanker™ supports high post-thaw recovery and reliable downstream performance across tissues, organoids, tumor digests, and more. | | | | |  The number of babies born in the United States fell again last year. | | | | |  Exposure to wildfire smoke was associated with a significantly increased risk of lung, colorectal, breast, bladder, and blood cancer, according to results from a study presented at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting 2026, held April 17-22. | | | | |  Researchers at Queen Mary University of London have found that the likelihood of prostate cancer overdiagnosis – the detection of a cancer that would never have been diagnosed during a patient's lifetime but for PSA screening – is low in younger men but rises substantially with old age. | | | | |  Researchers found that NIH funding for major US cancers does not consistently align with lethality, with highly fatal cancers such as pancreatic cancer and small-cell lung cancer receiving far less funding per estimated death than breast or prostate cancer. The study argues that incidence alone is not enough and that funding decisions should better incorporate mortality, survival, and mortality-to-incidence ratios. | | | | |  Researchers found that a Parkinson’s disease-related gut microbiome pattern appears not only in people with diagnosed Parkinson’s, but also in some non-manifesting GBA1 variant carriers and a subset of healthy individuals. The findings suggest that gut microbiome changes may help flag people who are closer to Parkinson’s disease development, although longitudinal studies are still needed to confirm predictive value. | | | | |  Older men with prostate cancer who receive federal housing assistance at the time they are first diagnosed have better two-year survival chances compared to demographically and clinically similar men without that assistance, new UCLA-led research suggests. | |
