Statin-related residual inflammation predicts cardiovascular events and mortality

A recent Lancet study assessed the importance of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLC) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (CRP) as risk predictors of cardiovascular death, cardiovascular events, and all-cause death among patients subjected to statins.

Intermittent fasting's impact on bone health

Although several studies have indicated intermittent fasting (IF) promotes weight loss and improves metabolic health, its effect on bone health is unclear. Recently, scientists reviewed existing literature and summarized the effect of varied forms of IF, such as the 5:2 diet, alternate day fasting (ADF), and time-restricted eating/feeding (TRE/TRF), on bone health. This review is available in the British Journal of Nutrition.

100% vaccination rate could have prevented half of COVID-19 deaths in the U.S.

Scientists in the United States have conducted a simulation study to estimate the number of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) deaths that could have been prevented by increasing vaccination coverage in the country.

Study finds link between respiratory disease in early childhood and premature death risk in adulthood

Contracting a lower respiratory tract infection in early childhood is associated with a higher risk of dying from respiratory disease as an adult, according to new research.

Green spaces lower risk of postpartum depression

Research on the relationship between green space and postpartum PPD is limited. Therefore, the purpose of a new study was to investigate the relationship between PPD and green space exposure and the role that physical activity (PA) plays in mediating these relationships.

Additive effects of genetic, socioeconomic factors account for the prevalence of type 2 diabetes and obesity

New research led by investigators at Massachusetts General Hospital, a founding member of Mass General Brigham, indicates that socioeconomic and genetic factors likely interact in an additive way to affect people's risks of developing obesity and type 2 diabetes.

Study paves the way to new sex-specific anti-obesity drugs

Sex differences exist in the regulation of energy homeostasis, the organism's mechanism to keep a stable body weight. Current studies indicate for instance that female mammals, including humans, are better protected against metabolic diseases during reproductive age.

Typically developing infants perceive audio-video synchrony better than children at risk for autism

Rutgers research that may eventually enable far earlier autism diagnoses shows that typically developing infants perceive audio-video synchrony better than high-risk for autism infants.

Study reveals the LDLR pathway as a ubiquitous metabolic vulnerability in high grade gliomas

New research has shown that the blood vessels that feed aggressive brain tumors have receptors that could allow a new type of drug-containing nanoparticle to be used to starve the tumors of the energy they use to grow and spread, and also cause other disruptions to their adapted existence, even killing themselves.
