| |  Daily diary data from healthcare workers and community adults during COVID lockdowns showed that people reported less loneliness on days when they experienced greater awe. This association was partly explained by increased feelings of connectedness to nature, although the observational design prevents causal conclusions. | |
|
| |  A major Cochrane review examines whether a widely used herbal supplement truly supports cognitive function, revealing modest dementia benefits but limited evidence for prevention or early impairment. | |
|
| |  Higher intake of ultra-processed foods in adults with obesity was associated with disordered eating symptoms, poorer diet quality, and lower protein intake. The cross-sectional findings suggest dietary processing level may influence eating behaviour patterns relevant to obesity management, though causality cannot be inferred. | |
|
| |  A new study provides hope that smarter timing of cancer treatments could improve cure rates. | |
|
| |  This study identifies IFN-γ as a crucial blood-based biomarker for Alzheimer's, revealing its role in microglial inflammation and genetic risk interactions. | |
|
| |  Researchers at Case Western Reserve University have discovered a way to breach one of cancer's most stubborn defenses: the impenetrable fortress that solid tumors build around themselves. | |
|
| |  Emerging evidence suggests nanoplastics accumulate in human tissues including the brain and may contribute to neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative disease pathways. However, causality, exposure routes, and long-term health effects remain uncertain and require coordinated research. | |
|
| |  A new study of more than 1,500 boys and men in Canada and the United States suggests that social media may play a meaningful role in shaping intentions to use anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS), particularly when users are exposed to muscularity-focused content and engage in body comparisons online. | |
|
| |  Grip strength correlates with working memory performance and prefrontal activation, highlighting its potential as a cognitive health marker in older adults. | |
|
| |  Evaluating digital tools for sustainable eating, the review highlights initial positive impacts but stresses the importance of long-term effectiveness research. | |
|
| |  Research reveals how ad length and framing impact junk food cravings, offering insights for effective public health campaigns targeting different BMI groups. | |
|
| |  A large, multi-center study recently published online in the Journal of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (JNCCN) provides new insight into the long-term health effects of contemporary chemotherapy regimens used to treat testicular cancer, highlighting differences in renal function, cardiovascular risk, and the overall burden of chronic health conditions among survivors. | |
|
| |  Findings from a study on produce prescriptions show no significant improvement in blood sugar control, emphasizing the importance of addressing food insecurity. | |
|
| |  Small fragments of plastic were found in nine out of 10 patients with prostate cancer, and in higher levels inside tumors than in nearby noncancerous tissue, a new study finds. | |
|
| |  A single exposure to a toxic fungicide during pregnancy can increase the risk of disease for 20 subsequent generations - with inherited health problems worsening many generations after exposure. | |
