 | | |  AI study of 101,000 patients links brown fat to heart and mental health In a retrospective analysis of PET-CT records from 101,243 patients, researchers found that detectable brown fat was associated with lower prevalence of cardiometabolic and psychiatric conditions, while greater activity, particularly in the axillary region, was linked to more favourable metabolic outcomes. | | | | |  A trial of 3,220 smokers puts cash rewards for quitting to the test In a randomized trial of 3,220 medically underserved adults referred for lung cancer screening, adding financial incentives to usual care and free medication increased sustained smoking abstinence at six months. Offering free medication alone did not significantly increase quit rates, and adding a forward-looking mobile tool did not improve outcomes beyond the incentives. | |

| | | | |  A new study at The University of Texas at Arlington could help substantially reduce the amount of radiation heart patients receive during imaging procedures without sacrificing diagnostic accuracy. | | | | |  Intensive breathing exercises can reduce blood flow to the brain by up to 45% and alter communication between brain networks, according to a new brain-imaging study. | | | | |  Researchers from Capital Medical University, Beijing, China, have identified a CaN/NFATC3/Id3/E2A/Bmp4 signaling pathway that helps explain how low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) promotes bone regeneration. | | | | |  Researchers identified 104 pregnancy and birth cohorts representing more than 1.17 million children across 41 countries, documenting the availability of data on early-life nutrition and neurodevelopment. Approximately 99% of participants in the income-stratified analysis came from high- or upper-middle-income countries, while differences in data collection and assessment methods complicate future international comparisons. | | | | |  A study of 204 patients undergoing intravenous cannulation before MRI found that those listening to their favorite music reported significantly lower pain scores than patients hearing no music at 30 seconds and two minutes after puncture. Mozart was also associated with lower pain scores among patients with pre-existing pain, while relaxation music showed no significant benefit, although the non-randomized findings require confirmation. | | | | |  Scientists are highlighting long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) as promising targets in the effort to overcome one of cancer treatment's most persistent challenges: therapeutic resistance. | | | | |  A multidisciplinary care model developed across Sutter Health helped general neurologists address a practical challenge facing health systems nationwide: how to safely offer newer Alzheimer's disease treatments in community settings to more patients. | | | | |  Solid tumors are not merely collections of malignant cells but complex ecosystems comprising tumor cells, stromal cells, and the extracellular matrix (ECM). | | | | |  Researchers at USC Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center, part of Keck Medicine of USC, have launched a clinical trial to evaluate whether a blood test can help detect breast cancer earlier than mammograms alone. | | | | |  A recent study in the Journal of the American College of Radiology (JACR®) suggests that paid family and medical leave (PFML) policies offered by U.S. academic and radiation oncology programs, while widely available, are implemented inconsistently across programs. | | | | |  Aston University's Dr Jan Novak has accepted funding of £45,000 from cancer charity Help Harry Help Others (HHHO) to support a PhD student to research new ways of using MRI scans of children with cancer to better inform their doctors and improve treatment. | | | | |  The anatomical differences in our vocal tracts could be one of the sources of our Tower of Babel-the vast difference in languages spoken around the world, according to a study published October 13th in the open access journal PLOS Biology by Steven Moran and Tiena Danner from the University of Neuchâtel, Switzerland, and colleagues. | |
