Can your gut bacteria predict your age and lifestyle? New study says yes

Researchers used a new covariance-based method, MANOCCA, to map how environmental factors like age, sex, smoking, and BMI shape bacterial co-abundance in the healthy gut microbiome. The study revealed that key microbial interactions cluster in a few core families and that MANOCCA predicts host traits more accurately than standard models.

How modern habits are reshaping the Mediterranean diet for the worse

Nearly all children and adolescents in five Mediterranean countries consume unhealthy ultra-processed foods daily, according to the DELICIOUS Project. The study links higher intake to obesity, older age, screen time, eating out, and exposure to food advertising.

Why talking to yourself in third person can help you feel better before big moments

Researchers studying over 20,000 daily experiences found that people mostly talk to themselves in the first person, while using third-person, distanced self-talk far less often. Yet when they do, this detached inner voice offers a small but real emotional boost, especially when preparing for upcoming actions or performances.

Using estimated risks and preferences to justify intensive BP control in CKD patients

An analysis of the Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial (SPRINT) indicates that nearly all adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD) would have benefits that outweigh the harm from a systolic blood pressure target of <120 mm Hg compared with a target of <140 mm Hg. The findings will be presented at ASN Kidney Week 2025 November 5– 9.

Preclinical evidence supports sotagliflozin's superior efficacy in attenuating salt-induced kidney damage

Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, initially developed to treat type 2 diabetes, have significant heart- and kidney- protective effects. In the kidney, SGLT2 reabsorbs approximately 97% offiltered glucose in the S1 and S2 segments of the proximal tubule, while SGLT1reabsorbs the remainder in the S3 segment.
