Human-AI teams improve healthcare only when clinicians stay in control

A scoping review of 140 empirical studies found that human-AI collaboration in healthcare reports the most consistent benefits in diagnostic interpretation, especially when AI supports bounded tasks and clinicians retain final responsibility. Evidence remains fragmented across triage, treatment planning, and documentation, with few studies measuring patient outcomes, system impact, trust calibration, or governance in real-world settings.

Strength training plus cardio cuts type 2 diabetes risk the most

A 20-year prospective cohort study of 143,715 US healthcare professionals found that long-term resistance training was associated with a substantially lower risk of type 2 diabetes. The lowest risk was seen among participants who combined regular resistance training with adequate aerobic activity and limited TV viewing.

AI image-based risk scores enable dynamic breast cancer assessment

Using artificial intelligence (AI), researchers found that image-based risk scores for breast cancer derived from screening mammograms evolve over time and differ between women who develop cancer and those who do not, opening the door to a new era of dynamic breast cancer risk assessment.

50-year review shows global Ebola spread remains rare despite outbreak fears

Researchers reviewed Ebola disease cases outside Africa from 1976 to May 2026 and found only 28 confirmed epidemic-linked cases, most involving medical evacuation or occupational exposure. Only four latent travelers were diagnosed after border screening, suggesting that undetected intercontinental spread remains rare when outbreaks are controlled at source.

Accelerated biological aging may drive rising early-onset cancer risk

Cancer is often considered a disease of aging. Older adults are at higher risk because they have had more time to accumulate cellular damage that can trigger tumor formation.

Statins may trigger muscle side effects by activating inflammatory danger signals

An experimental study in Science Advances shows that statins, primarily fluvastatin in these experiments, may promote low-level muscle myopathy by reducing isoprenoid-dependent protein prenylation rather than by cholesterol lowering. In primed muscle cells and mouse models, impaired YAP signaling, reduced glycolysis, NLRP3/caspase-1 activation, and nuclear FOXO accumulation increased atrogin-1, reduced protein synthesis, and weakened muscle function.

Most adults with depression favor informal community peer support

As mental health needs continue to rise in Singapore, researchers from Duke-NUS Medical School, working with collaborators, including the Institute of Mental Health (IMH), have found that most adults living with symptoms of anxiety or depression are open to receiving support from peers, even if they have not sought professional help.
