The Mediterranean diet shows promise in managing both systemic and organ-specific autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis and autoimmune thyroiditis. Its anti-inflammatory and microbiota-modulating properties may reduce disease activity and improve metabolic outcomes.
 
 
 Study reveals CT scan overuse could account for 1 in 20 new US cancersStudy reveals CT scan overuse could account for 1 in 20 new US cancers
 
A new study projects that CT scans performed in the US in 2023 could cause around 103,000 future cancers, potentially accounting for 5% of all new cancer diagnoses. Researchers highlight that while individual risks are small, the population impact of unnecessary or high-dose CT imaging is significant.

   Why measles is back in the U.S. and what doctors must know nowWhy measles is back in the U.S. and what doctors must know now
 
Measles is making a troubling comeback in the U.S., driven by declining vaccination rates and rising vaccine hesitancy. Pediatric infectious disease experts provide clinical guidance to help healthcare providers recognize, manage, and prevent measles in today’s outbreak-prone environment.
 
 Vitamin D curbs colorectal cancer by boosting immunity and blocking tumor growth
 
Vitamin D curbs colorectal cancer by boosting immunity and blocking tumor growthReview highlights how vitamin D, particularly its active form calcitriol, modulates immune responses, inflammation, and tumor progression to help prevent colorectal cancer (CRC). Evidence suggests adequate vitamin D levels and supplementation reduce CRC risk and improve outcomes.

COVID-19 lowers sperm count and motility, new study confirmsSARS-CoV-2 infection is linked to significant declines in sperm quality, including reduced sperm count, motility, and increased DNA fragmentation, as shown in both cross-sectional and longitudinal observations.
 
 
 Researchers link 9 blood proteins to breast cancer and suggest 3 drugs for repurposing
 
Researchers link 9 blood proteins to breast cancer and suggest 3 drugs for repurposingResearchers used integrated Mendelian randomization in a cohort of over 247,000 individuals to identify 62 plasma proteins associated with breast cancer risk. Nine high-confidence targets, including ULK3 and CSK, showed potential for drug repurposing and immune pathway regulation.

 Expansion of mutant blood cells linked to worse cancer outcomes
 
Expansion of mutant blood cells linked to worse cancer outcomesResearchers from the Francis Crick Institute, UCL, Gustave Roussy and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK), have discovered that expansion of mutant blood cells, a phenomenon linked to aging, can be found in cancerous tumors, and this is associated with worse outcomes for patients.

 Research uncovers the cellular culprit behind age-related abdominal fat
 
Research uncovers the cellular culprit behind age-related abdominal fatIt's no secret that our waistlines often expand in middle-age, but the problem isn't strictly cosmetic. Belly fat accelerates aging and slows down metabolism, increasing our risk for developing diabetes, heart problems and other chronic diseases.

 Key enzyme found to influence immune aging and B cell production
 
Key enzyme found to influence immune aging and B cell productionOur immune systems weaken as we get older, making fewer cells that fight infection and help us recover from illness and injury. Scientists aren't completely sure why. They may have a better idea now, however, thanks to a new study in GeroScience.
 
 
 Statins linked to better survival in blood cancer patients
 
Statins linked to better survival in blood cancer patientsPatients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) who were taking cholesterol-lowering statin medications at the start of their cancer treatment had a 61% lower risk of dying from their cancer compared to similar patients who were not taking statins, according to a study published today in the journal Blood Advances.
