Review examines mental health impact of prolonged collective trauma

A new systematic review published in Frontiers in Psychiatry brings together 68 studies from the first two years after the October 7 attacks, offering insights that extend far beyond Israel into how prolonged conflict, cumulative exposure and continuing threat can shape post-traumatic stress, anxiety, depression and addiction-related outcomes.

What 720,000 adults reveal about artificial sweeteners and diabetes risk

A meta-analysis of six prospective cohort studies involving 721,003 adults found that higher artificial sweetener intake was associated with a 31% greater risk of developing type 2 diabetes. The evidence was rated low certainty because of substantial heterogeneity, observational study designs, and potential residual confounding, meaning the findings do not establish causation.

Intracranial local field potentials offer clues to prolonged disorders of consciousness

Prolonged disorders of consciousness (pDOC) represent states in which patients fail to show reliable evidence of awareness after severe brain injury.

Blocking caspase-1 appears to reduce the risk of developing lung tumors

Every year, lung cancer kills more than 100,000 people in the United States. Smoking is the leading risk factor for lung cancer, but other environmental exposures can also contribute to the disease.

Outfitting cells in "invisibility cloaks" could offer a novel approach to treating diabetes

Outfitting cells in "invisibility cloaks" may offer an easier, less damaging treatment pathway for people with diabetes undergoing cell therapy, according to researchers at Penn State.

New method enables more precise labeling of protein-protein interactions in cancer-specific cells

Using a photochemically driven labeling technique, a Cornell University-led research group has devised a strategy for capturing cancer-specific protein-to-protein interactions, which could one day spawn targeted therapies for prostate, small-cell lung, pancreatic and other deadly forms of the disease.

Britons embrace DIY health checks

Most people in the UK already monitor their own health and wellbeing, and an overwhelming majority would be happy to do more if advised by the NHS, according to a new University of Manchester led study.

A 30-year study found a surprising link between alcohol, survival and heart attack risk

In a 30-year study of 973 middle-aged Swedish male automotive workers, alcohol consumption was associated with lower all-cause mortality and longer estimated time to death, while beer consumption was linked to a higher likelihood of myocardial infarction. No significant association was found between alcohol consumption and stroke, and the authors cautioned that socioeconomic differences, self-reported intake, and other unmeasured factors may have influenced the findings.

Study uncovers hidden switch that helps cancer cells to evade immune detection

Researchers from the Cancer Science Institute of Singapore (CSI Singapore) at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have uncovered a previously unknown mechanism that helps cancer cells evade detection by the body's immune system.

Two early-life findings stood out in children who later screened positive for autism risk

Children born very preterm were more likely than term-born children to screen positive for autism risk at age 5 using the Social Communication Questionnaire. Among very preterm children, cerebellar abnormalities at term-equivalent age and moderate-to-severe histologic chorioamnionitis were independently associated with higher autism screening risk, alongside male sex and higher social risk.

Subtle brain differences detected in children at risk for schizophrenia

A study examined the brains of children at increased risk of developing schizophrenia to determine whether signs of vulnerability can be detected during childhood.

Studies link traumatic brain injury to high mortality in Pakistan

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) in Pakistan is associated with a high risk of death and disability long after the initial injury, even in mild to moderate cases, according to two new studies in JAMA Network Open led by Weill Cornell Medicine researchers.

AI model predicts cancer subtype, genetic mutations, and survival outcomes across 32 solid tumors

Researchers have developed a novel AI model that can analyze a routine whole histopathology image and simultaneously predict cancer subtype, specific genetic mutations, and survival outcomes across 32 different solid cancers rather than focusing on a single cancer type.
