 Why smartphone use on the toilet may increase hemorrhoid riskWhy smartphone use on the toilet may increase hemorrhoid risk
 
Adults using smartphones on the toilet spent significantly more time seated and had 46% higher odds of hemorrhoids on colonoscopy. The cross-sectional study suggests prolonged sitting, not straining, may be the key driver of hemorrhoid risk.
 
 
 Researchers reveal why no level of air pollution is safe for respiratory healthResearchers reveal why no level of air pollution is safe for respiratory health
 
A review in the Journal of Clinical Investigation shows how particulate matter damages the lungs through oxidative stress, inflammation, and immune disruption. It links air pollution to asthma, COPD, lung cancer, infections, and millions of premature deaths, with no safe exposure threshold.
 
   Experts warn tiny plastics in arteries may raise heart attack riskExperts warn tiny plastics in arteries may raise heart attack risk
 
Experts caution that nanoplastics and microplastics may constitute an emerging cardiovascular risk factor, with particles identified in arterial plaques associated with a 4.5-fold increase in major adverse cardiovascular events. Experimental evidence points to inflammation, oxidative stress, and vascular injury as key mechanisms.
 
   Researchers reveal why global gains against chronic diseases are stallingResearchers reveal why global gains against chronic diseases are stalling
 
Researchers analysed mortality data from 185 countries and found that while global non-communicable disease (NCD) deaths before age 80 declined from 2010 to 2019, progress slowed compared to 2001–2010. Gains were mainly from drops in heart disease and stroke, but rising burdens from diabetes, cancers, and neuropsychiatric conditions stalled momentum.
 
   Why breakfast timing may be a simple marker of healthy agingWhy breakfast timing may be a simple marker of healthy aging
 
The timing of breakfast in older adults is crucial; later meals are associated with health risks and shorter survival, highlighting the need for proper timing.
 
 Climate change is fueling unhealthy sugar consumption in the US
 
Climate change is fueling unhealthy sugar consumption in the USAs temperatures rise, added sugar intake increases in the U.S., particularly among low-income households, underscoring the need for targeted interventions.
 
 
 Experts review the evidence on coenzyme Q10 and cognitive decline
 
Experts review the evidence on coenzyme Q10 and cognitive declineResearchers reviewed evidence on coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) and cognition, finding strong biological support and positive results in animal models but mixed outcomes in human trials. Larger, high-quality studies are needed to clarify whether CoQ10 can protect against cognitive decline and neurodegenerative diseases.
 
 
 Planetary health diet links to longer life and lower emissions
 
Planetary health diet links to longer life and lower emissionsGreater adherence to the Planetary Health Diet was linked to lower all-cause, cancer, and respiratory mortality across large US and UK cohorts, supported by a meta-analysis of 37 studies. Diets higher in PHD foods also had smaller greenhouse gas footprints, reinforcing health and environmental benefits.

Daily walking reduces the chances of chronic low back painA study reveals that increased walking volume lowers the risk of chronic low back pain, highlighting the importance of daily physical activity for prevention.
 
 
 Defibrillator drones cut response times in out-of-hospital cardiac emergencies
 
Defibrillator drones cut response times in out-of-hospital cardiac emergenciesDrones delivering defibrillators show promise in emergency response, but survival rates depend on effective dispatcher support and bystander AED confidence.
 
 
 Food insecurity raises long COVID risk while SNAP support cuts it
 
Food insecurity raises long COVID risk while SNAP support cuts itFood insecurity was linked to 73% higher odds of current Long COVID and 30% lower odds of recovery among US adults with prior infection, based on National Health Interview Survey data. Participation in Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) mitigated this association, highlighting food assistance as a potential public health intervention.
 
 
 Healthier diets and diverse oral microbiomes lower frailty risk
 
Healthier diets and diverse oral microbiomes lower frailty riskThis study links diet and oral microbiome diversity to frailty risk, emphasizing their potential in strategies for healthier aging and improved health outcomes.
 
 
 RSV vaccine slashes hospitalizations in older adults in real-world trial
 
RSV vaccine slashes hospitalizations in older adults in real-world trialA large, real-world randomized trial in Denmark found that the RSVpreF vaccine reduced RSV-related hospitalizations in adults aged 60 and over by over 80%. The vaccine also showed protection against broader respiratory illness with a favorable safety profile.
 
 
 Johns Hopkins team develops urine-based test for prostate cancer detection
 
Johns Hopkins team develops urine-based test for prostate cancer detectionResearchers at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center, Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital and four other institutions have devised a novel method to test for prostate cancer using biomarkers present in urine, funded in part by the National Institutes of Health.

Can video game–style exercise slow Alzheimer’s risk?Gamified exercise training improves hippocampal volume and cognitive performance in mild neurocognitive disorders, offering potential for dementia prevention.
 
 
 Fast food’s grip on American diets weakens as younger adults cut back
 
Fast food’s grip on American diets weakens as younger adults cut backAbout one-third of U.S. adults consumed fast food on a given day between 2021 and 2023, with an average of 11.7% of daily calories coming from it. Intake has declined from 14.1% in 2013–14, driven mainly by reduced consumption among younger adults.
 
 
 Study highlights menopause-related vocal changes in women
 
Study highlights menopause-related vocal changes in womenA new University of South Florida study published in Menopause highlights a largely overlooked health issue: voice changes that many women experience during menopause, often triggered by falling levels of estrogen and progesterone.
 
 
 RAB26 identified as a critical regulator of prostate cancer aggressiveness
 
RAB26 identified as a critical regulator of prostate cancer aggressivenessProstate cancer (PCa) is one of the most common malignant tumors in men worldwide. While early detection has improved patient outcomes, effective therapies for advanced disease remain limited.
 
 
 Key proteins found to shape sperm function and male fertility
 
There are many potential causes of infertility, and it can be challenging to pin down just what the problem is when a couple is having trouble getting pregnant.
 
 
 Daylight saving time does not increase heart attack risk, study shows
 
Daylight saving time does not increase heart attack risk, study showsA large U.S. registry study of more than 168,000 patients found that daylight saving time (DST) clock changes did not increase heart attack rates or worsen in-hospital outcomes. The findings suggest that the lost or gained hour is unlikely to trigger acute myocardial infarction in contemporary care.
