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.

Implementing lifestyle medicine as a high-value care solution can lead to better outcomes

The American College of Lifestyle Medicine (ACLM) has published a position paper calling for the implementation of lifestyle medicine as a high-value care solution that delivers on the Quintuple Aim-better health outcomes, higher patient and clinician satisfaction, greater health equity, and lower costs.

Dysfunctional breathing is common and influenced by tobacco use and respiratory conditions

Dysfunctional breathing (DB) is frequently misdiagnosed or insufficiently treated, leading to a diminished quality of life and unnecessary medical intervention.

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.

Maternal thyroid hormone imbalance linked to increased autism risk in offspring

Women with persistent thyroid hormone imbalance across pregnancy may be at an increased risk of having children with autism, according to a new study published in The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism.

Gut nervous system controls intestinal barrier and allergy risk

An international research team led by scientists from Bern and Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin has identified a previously unknown function of the intestinal nervous system.

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.

Using a prebiotic after traumatic brain injury may help reduce impulsive behavior

Using a prebiotic to influence bacterial activity in the gut after a traumatic brain injury may help reduce impulsive behavior, one of the common symptoms to follow a moderate blow to the head, a new study in rats suggests.

Scientists uncover how brain enzyme OTULIN controls tau expression

Scientists have uncovered a surprising mechanism by which a brain enzyme called OTULIN controls the expression of tau, the protein that forms toxic tangles in Alzheimer's disease.

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.

Ultra-processed foods linked to rise in prediabetes risk

The study reveals that ultra-processed foods heighten prediabetes risk in young adults with obesity history, stressing the importance of healthy eating habits.

New report outlines recommendations to improve chronic disease care for Latinos

Latinos face significant health disparities, especially in chronic conditions such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, asthma, and cancer.

Higher continuity of care linked with fewer acute preventable hospitalizations

Continuity of care has been linked with fewer hospitalizations. This study examined whether better continuity is helpful for acute, potentially preventable hospitalizations that might be avoided with regular care.

New platform enables unbiased evaluation of AI algorithms for diabetic eye screening

Researchers have developed the world's first real-world head-to-head testing platform to determine whether commercial artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms are fit for NHS use to detect disease in a fair, equitable, transparent and trustworthy way, using diabetic eye disease as the first example.

Genetic factors behind impulsive choices tied to metabolic and mental health

Researchers from University of California San Diego have identified 11 genetic regions linked to delay discounting - the tendency to prefer smaller, immediate rewards over larger, delayed ones - shedding new light on how impulsive decision-making relates to both mental and physical health.

Study reveals metabolic benefits of reducing ultra-processed foods in older adults

A controlled feeding study out of South Dakota State University shows that older adults who ate fewer ultra-processed foods naturally consumed fewer calories, lost weight and abdominal fat, and showed improvements in insulin, nutrient-sensing hormones, and inflammation.

Study uncovers how a specific immune cell may contribute to HIV persistence

Researchers from the Institute of Human Virology (IHV) at the University of Maryland School of Medicine have discovered how a specific type of immune cell may contribute to the persistence of HIV infections.

Can diet calm early memory problems? Anti-inflammatory Mediterranean eating shows promise

Older women who follow a strongly anti-inflammatory Mediterranean diet report far fewer subjective memory complaints than those who do not. The AnMED pattern outperforms both traditional Mediterranean and MIND diets, showing a clear advantage for protecting early cognitive symptoms.

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.
