Brain recordings reveal short-lived effects of tirzepatide on food cravings

A rare glimpse into the brain activity of a patient with obesity and loss of control eating on tirzepatide, marketed as Mounjaro and Zepbound, revealed that the medication suppresses signaling in the brain's "reward center" thought to be involved in food noise – but only temporarily.

Study: PTSD treatment dropout rates vary widely

About a quarter of U.S. service members and veterans who start psychotherapy for post-traumatic stress disorder quit before they finish treatment. But not all therapies are equal in their appeal, with some effective approaches reporting the highest dropout rates, according to research published by the American Psychological Association.

New therapy restores vision after stroke induced blindness

Each year, thousands of stroke survivors are left with hemianopia, a condition that causes loss of half of their visual field (the "vertical midline"). Hemianopia severely affects daily activities such as reading, driving, or just walking through a crowded space.

Low-intensity noise therapy shows how tuning sound to the brain can ease tinnitus

LINTS, a non-masking low-intensity noise tuned to each patient’s tinnitus frequency, produced statistically significant but modest reductions in tinnitus burden in a phase II clinical trial. Improvements were confined to the treatment-only group, with high individual variability and strong dependence on precise acoustic fitting.

Dash diet cuts diabetes complications by targeting blood pressure kidney health and inflammation

The DASH diet supports metabolic health in people with diabetes by improving blood pressure, renal function, lipids, and modest glycemic markers while reducing risks linked to vascular and inflammatory pathways. Its broad nutrient-driven mechanisms also benefit related conditions such as neuropathy, PCOS, and retinopathy, making it a versatile tool for cardiometabolic care.
