AI tools can ease documentation burden and reduce physician burnout

Artificial intelligence (AI) tools designed to automatically document patient visits show promise in reducing the time physicians spend on paperwork and may improve their work experience, according to a new randomized clinical trial conducted at UCLA Health.

Metformin fails to improve insulin resistance in type 1 diabetes

Metformin treatment in type 1 diabetes lowers insulin dosage but does not improve insulin resistance, highlighting its complex role in diabetes management.

Fame may shorten singers’ lives beyond occupational hazards

Fame itself may be a critical factor in shortening singers' lives beyond the hazards of the job-at least those in the UK/Europe and North America-suggests research published online in the Journal of Epidemiology & Community Health.

Moderate coffee intake linked to slower biological aging in people with severe mental illness

Drinking a maximum of 3-4 cups of coffee a day may slow the 'biological' ageing of people with severe mental illness, by lengthening their telomeres-indicators of cellular ageing-and giving them the equivalent of 5 extra biological years, compared with non-coffee drinkers, finds research published in the open access journal BMJ Mental Health.

Obesity-related metabolic stress may affect brain health far earlier than expected

For decades, scientists have known that what harms the body often harms the brain. Conditions such as obesity, high blood pressure and insulin resistance strain the body's vascular and metabolic systems.

Global data show why gut microbiomes in industrialized regions look increasingly alike

Researchers studying more than 1 000 adults across 12 countries found that industrialization is one of the strongest forces reshaping the human gut microbiome, reducing diversity and stability. Industrialized and urban populations also showed higher immune and gut stress markers, suggesting physiological consequences of these altered microbial communities.

Genetic signals reveal why erectile dysfunction develops and who is most at risk

This multi-ancestry genomic study identifies key genetic loci underlying erectile dysfunction and shows that ED risk is shaped by both cardiometabolic and substance use–related genetic pathways. Using EHR-linked data, the researchers uncover SIM1-related mechanisms, modest PRS performance, and bidirectional genetic links with obesity, diabetes, and addiction traits.

Polyamines restore gut regeneration in aging mice

With aging, the intestine gradually loses its ability to regenerate after damage. An international research team involving the Leibniz Institute on Aging - Fritz Lipmann Institute (FLI) in Jena and the University of Turin has now found that polyamines, small molecules produced naturally in the body, can play a decisive role in this process.

Diesel exhaust particles can impair microglial functions

Diesel exhaust particles can disturb the function of human brain immune cells, known as microglia, according to a recent study led by the University of Eastern Finland.

Deficient ATP release in the brain drives depressive- and anxiety-like behaviors

In a new JNeurosci paper, Tian-Ming Gao and colleagues, from Southern Medical University, explored how adenosine triphosphate (ATP) signaling relates to depression and anxiety using male mice. ATP is a molecule that not only provides energy but also supports communication between neurons.

Deep learning AI model identifies first-of-its-kind biomarker of chronic stress

Using a deep learning AI model, researchers identified the first-of-its-kind biomarker of chronic stress detectable through routine imaging, according to research being presented next week at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America.

Black cumin: A promising natural agent with potential against chronic diseases

Black cumin seeds contain diverse secondary metabolites, including thymoquinone, flavonoids, triterpenoids and alkaloids, that demonstrate broad antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anticancer activity. Early preclinical and limited clinical evidence shows therapeutic potential across chronic diseases, supported by mechanistic and structure activity relationship findings.

New insights into ribosome collisions and stress response

LMU researchers uncover the mechanism by which ribosomes raise alarms in the cell.

Dexamethasone shows potential to fight therapy-resistant breast cancer metastases

The drug dexamethasone supplements cancer treatments to alleviate side effects of chemotherapy such as nausea or inflammation.

Does coffee truly boost memory and focus or is it all hype?

Coffee’s bioactive compounds, especially caffeine, show potential cognitive, neuroprotective, and neuroplasticity benefits across animal and human studies. However, most findings are observational, mechanisms remain uncertain, and optimal intake is still unclear.

Masturbation could improve mood and sleep during menopause

This study found that about one in five perimenopausal and postmenopausal women experienced measurable symptom relief from masturbation, particularly for sleep and mood. Nearly half said they would consider using it for symptom relief if their doctor recommended it, although many had never discussed it with a clinician.
