| Kefir, a probiotic-rich fermented milk, shows potential in reducing neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, and beta-amyloid buildup, suggesting a role in Alzheimer’s prevention and management. However, more clinical trials are needed to confirm its effectiveness in human patients. | |
|
| A recent review highlights how the Mediterranean diet can reduce inflammation and improve outcomes for chronic skin conditions like psoriasis, acne, and hidradenitis suppurativa by modulating key inflammatory pathways and supporting metabolic health. | |
|
| A new study in Atherosclerosis shows that soil and water pollution, including microplastics and toxic chemicals, significantly raise cardiovascular disease risks. The research highlights how emerging contaminants and poor environmental practices drive global health threats. | |
|
| A vegan diet rich in low-fat plant-based foods can lead to significant weight loss, regardless of food processing levels, whereas reducing processed animal foods is strongly linked to lower body weight. | |
|
| Inadequate fruit and vegetable intake significantly increases the risk of injurious falls in older adults, particularly in women, with cognition, affect, and sleep/energy as partial mediators. | |
|
| Sleep disturbances may accelerate neurodegeneration, but whether they cause or result from disease remains unclear. Improving sleep quality could help protect against cognitive decline and brain aging. | |
|
| Researchers discuss a novel method to predict biological aging using a deep neural network based on pathways of steroidogenesis. | |
|
| Fermented dairy products and probiotics may support bone health by enhancing calcium absorption, modulating inflammation, and influencing bone remodeling, though human studies show mixed results. | |
|
| Men who consistently avoid prostate cancer screening appointments face a disproportionately higher risk of dying from the disease, finds research identifying a new high-risk group. | |
|
| A new study led by University of Calgary professor Dr. Tuan Trang, PhD, may help to explain why there is an over-representation of women experiencing chronic pain compared to men. | |
|
| Using a high-pressure water jet to operate on an enlarged prostate can better preserve the ability to ejaculate, compared with standard laser surgery, finds research. | |
|
| A study led by UCLA investigators shows that artificial intelligence (AI) could play a key role in improving treatment outcomes for men with prostate cancer by helping physicians determine who is most likely to benefit from partial gland cryoablation, a minimally invasive procedure that treats localized prostate tumors. | |
|
| To uncover what drives sexual behavior in animals, researchers studied the brain activity of male mice throughout the series of actions involved in sex leading up to ejaculation. | |
|
| Adolescent BMI amplifies genetic risk for high blood pressure, with sex-specific differences in how BMI modifies SBP susceptibility in adulthood. | |
