| |  Regular aerobic activity significantly reduces brain-PAD, indicating that exercise is crucial for maintaining brain health and reducing dementia risk. | |
|
| |  This population-based study of U.S. adults aged 70 and older found that shingles vaccination was associated with slower epigenetic and transcriptomic aging, as well as lower systemic inflammation. No significant associations were observed for neurodegeneration or cardiovascular biomarkers, highlighting domain-specific molecular effects rather than broad clinical changes. | |
|
| |  Six weeks of Ashwagandha root extract supplementation in semi-professional team-sport athletes was associated with sex-specific effects during pre-season training. Females showed improved perceived recovery with stable cortisol, while males demonstrated gains in lower-body power with stable cortisone levels. | |
|
| |  Time-restricted eating improves several metabolic outcomes compared with usual diets, with benefits observed for body weight, adiposity, blood pressure, insulin, glucose, and triglycerides. Early eating windows consistently outperform late eating, while the optimal duration of food intake remains uncertain. | |
|
| |  Long-term exposure to ambient air pollution was associated with a higher risk of developing motor neuron disease and poorer prognosis after diagnosis in a large nationwide Swedish study. Higher particulate matter and nitrogen dioxide exposure were also linked to faster functional decline and increased likelihood of invasive ventilation. | |
|
| |  This systematic review synthesizes human, in vitro, and food-processing studies on bamboo consumption, finding limited but suggestive evidence for metabolic, digestive, and antioxidant benefits when products are properly prepared. It also highlights safety considerations, including potential goitrogenic effects from inadequately processed shoots, and calls for higher-quality human trials. | |
|
| | The second annual report from the National Cancer Database (NCDB) of the American College of Surgeons (ACS) documents a substantial rise in medication treatments, such as chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and hormone therapy, used before surgery to treat many cancers, often allowing less invasive surgery and helping clinicians assess how a patient's cancer responds to medication to guide the most effective treatment options. | |
|
| |  High-dose influenza vaccines may lower serious hospitalization rates in older adults, particularly those with diabetes, according to a recent Danish trial. | |
|
| |  The 2026 American Heart Association Heart Disease and Stroke Statistics report shows that nearly half of adults are living with cardiovascular disease, with cardiometabolic risk factors projected to rise substantially by 2050. Despite progress in smoking reduction and cholesterol control, worsening obesity, diabetes, hypertension, sleep health, and persistent inequities threaten future cardiovascular health. | |
|
| |  A review of 130 studies links PFAS exposure to gestational diabetes, highlighting the need for further research on diabetes outcomes and environmental factors. | |
|
| |  Research links thiamine metabolism to gut motility, identifying genetic markers that could lead to new therapies for IBS and related digestive disorders. | |
|
| |  AI technology in a wearable choker helps stroke survivors overcome communication barriers by transforming throat vibrations into clear, context-aware speech. | |
|
| |  The BMJ review warns that unregulated alcohol-free drinks may widen inequalities and undermine effective alcohol control, emphasizing the need for caution. | |
|
| |  Ageing slows neuronal protein degradation in mice, leading to widespread accumulation and aggregation of long-lived proteins, particularly at synapses. As neuronal clearance declines, microglia selectively accumulate synaptic proteins, suggesting a compensatory but potentially strained proteostasis pathway in the ageing brain. | |
|
| |  This study shows that specific ratios of circulating sphingolipids to steroids can predict the risk of future asthma exacerbations over five years with high discriminatory performance. By integrating metabolomics with longitudinal medical records, the research highlights lipid–hormone pathway imbalance as a key driver of asthma instability. | |
|
| |  A routine creatinine blood test may identify individuals at higher risk for osteoporosis and fractures, highlighting its potential as a risk assessment tool. | |
