Adding a chatbot to specialist care helped young people make sense of cancer risk

In a randomized trial of 106 adolescents and young adults with hereditary cancer predisposition, adding AYA-RISE to a clinic visit improved knowledge of cancer risk before age 30 compared with a clinic visit alone. Researchers observed no increase in distress, but the main analyses did not establish additional benefits for lifetime-risk or screening knowledge.

What people ate at the start of a 20-year study was linked to their heart failure odds

Researchers linked higher baseline diet quality to lower odds of developing heart failure over 20 years among 2,159 Greek adults initially free of cardiovascular disease.

Stopping GLP-1 drugs often brings weight back. A small trial suggests ways to slow it

In a randomized pilot trial of 39 adults, researchers found that participants receiving medically tailored meals or Noom regained about 3.6% of their body weight over four months after stopping GLP-1 therapy, compared with about 11% under usual care. These exploratory findings suggest structured support may slow early weight regain, but the small sample and short follow-up leave lasting benefits uncertain.

A trial of 3,220 smokers puts cash rewards for quitting to the test

In a randomized trial of 3,220 medically underserved adults referred for lung cancer screening, adding financial incentives to usual care and free medication increased sustained smoking abstinence at six months. Offering free medication alone did not significantly increase quit rates, and adding a forward-looking mobile tool did not improve outcomes beyond the incentives.
