High levels of anti-Ro/SSA antibodies linked to fetal heart block in pregnant women

Some individuals with anti-Ro/SSA antibodies (anti–Sjögren's-syndrome–related antigen A autoantibodies, also called anti-Ro antibodies) have autoimmune diseases such as lupus or Sjögren's syndrome, but many have no symptoms.

Daily fetal heart rate monitoring recommended for pregnant women with high anti-SSA/Ro antibodies

Physicians who care for pregnant women have long sought to identify which of their patients would most likely benefit from monitoring of their fetus's heart rate to catch early signs of their unborn child developing heart problems tied to the mother's immune system.

PET scans of the heart identify people at risk for Parkinson's and Lewy body dementia

In a small study, researchers at the National Institutes of Health have found that positron emission tomography (PET) scans of the heart may identify people who will go on to develop Parkinson's disease or Lewy body dementia among those at-risk for these diseases.

How caffeine impacts cerebral blood flow

Caffeine consumption affects cerebral blood flow in young adults, with the study showing a dose-dependent reduction in arterial velocity post-intake. This impact on the cardiovascular system suggests caffeine's vasodilatory effects on cerebral arteries.

Time-restricted eating outperforms calorie counting in weight loss for type 2 diabetes patients

In a six-month randomized clinical trial, researchers found that time-restricted eating (TRE) was more effective than daily calorie restriction for weight loss and equally effective in regulating glucose levels in adults with type 2 diabetes. The study suggests TRE could be a simpler and more easily adhered to dietary strategy for managing the condition.

Sleepiness during virtual meetings may be the result of mental underload and boredom

New research suggests sleepiness during virtual meetings is caused by mental underload and boredom. Earlier studies suggested that fatigue from virtual meetings stems from mental overload, but new research from Aalto University shows that sleepiness during virtual meetings might actually be a result of mental underload and boredom.
