 | | |  Common viruses sharply raise heart attack and stroke risk, major global review shows In the largest synthesis to date, researchers reviewed 155 studies linking viral infections, including influenza, SARS-CoV-2, HIV, hepatitis C, and shingles, to increased risks of coronary heart disease, stroke, and heart failure. The findings highlight viral infection prevention and vaccination as underappreciated strategies for cardiovascular protection. | | | | |  Diabetes remission possible with GLP-1 drugs, Italian study confirms In a large real-world Italian cohort, GLP-1 receptor agonist therapy led to measurable rates of type 2 diabetes remission, depending on how remission was defined. The most pragmatic definition (Remission 3) was linked to improved glycemia, weight, and a lower risk of microvascular and cardiovascular events. | |

| | | | |  Researchers identified five previously unknown genes linked to obesity by analyzing rare protein-truncating variants across six ancestries. The study reveals how rare and common genetic factors combine to influence BMI and related diseases like diabetes and heart failure. | | | | |  Researchers at the Columbia University Fertility Center reported the first successful pregnancy using an AI-guided method they developed to recover sperm in men with azoospermia, in which ejaculate contains little or no sperm. | | | | |  In a large Italian case-control study, researchers identified data-driven dietary patterns linked to Parkinson’s disease risk. Diets rich in sweets, red and cured meats were associated with higher odds of PD, while fruit, especially citrus, was protective. | | | | |  This review highlights hydroxytyrosol's role as a neuroprotective agent, activating key pathways for mental and vascular health through olive-derived compounds. | | | | |  Researchers in Southern California found that even low levels of PFAS (“forever chemicals”) in public drinking water lead to measurable increases in blood PFAS concentrations. The study underscores the urgent need for stronger water-quality monitoring and stricter PFAS regulations across non-industrial regions. | | | | |  The systematic review provides crucial insights into the efficacy and safety of respiratory virus vaccines, supporting evidence-based immunization practices. | | | | |  Research shows life expectancy growth is slowing, with significant implications for health policies and individual planning in high-income nations. | | | | |  A massive cross-ancestry genetic study involving over 839,000 adults identified 13 genes linked to obesity, including five never before associated with the condition. The findings highlight how global genetic diversity can uncover new biological pathways and potential treatment targets for obesity. | | | | |  Recent MRI research reveals how repeated football head impacts reshape brain structures, offering insights into chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) risk. | | | | |  This review in Food Science & Nutrition synthesizes evidence showing that walnuts (Juglans regia L.) exert potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, apoptosis-regulatory, and immunomodulatory effects through bioactive compounds influencing mitochondrial, cytokine, and redox pathways. | | | | |  Contraception and family planning are vital aspects of sexual and reproductive health and rights. Despite major advances in modern contraception over the past 60 years, many gaps remain and the rate of unplanned pregnancies and abortions remains high. | | | | | Frailty threatens older individuals because it increases their vulnerability to detrimental health outcomes, such as falling, longer hospitalization, or even shortened life expectancy. | |
