CPAP treatment may reduce death risk in people with both type 2 diabetes and sleep apnea

People with both type 2 diabetes (T2D) and obstructive sleep apnea have a higher risk of death, but treatment with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) may reduce that risk by around 26%, according to new research being presented at this year's Annual Meeting of The European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD), Vienna (15-19 Sept).

Concertgoers back detection dogs as practical COVID-19 screening tool in real-world trial

A feasibility study in Germany found that concertgoers strongly supported medical detection dogs for COVID-19 screening, with confidence rising after real-world use. The findings suggest canine testing could complement PCR and antigen tests, especially in large gatherings and high-traffic environments.

Better control of childhood EoE-associated inflammation reduces esophagus stiffening and complications

Researchers from Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and Children's Hospital Colorado have found that better control of chronic eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE)-associated inflammation during childhood leads to less stiffening of the esophagus, resulting in fewer disease complications.

AI voice test could help spot dangerous throat lesions before symptoms appear

Researchers at Oregon Health and Science University found that variability in the harmonic-to-noise ratio (HNR) of speech could help distinguish benign from malignant vocal fold lesions, offering a potential early detection biomarker. The exploratory study used AI to analyze acoustic features from the Bridge2AI-Voice dataset and found differences most pronounced in male participants.
