 | | |  Did COVID-19 reshape fatherhood? New study finds Filipino dads stepped back, not up, after lockdown A longitudinal study of 307 Filipino fathers found that COVID-19 lockdowns did not produce lasting increases in paternal caregiving, with routine care actually declining post-pandemic. Shifts in employment status emerged as the strongest predictor of changes in fathers' time spent with their children. | | | | |  AI-driven hormone tracking could help detect infertility early and improve conception Men and women who appear hormonally 'normal' may still have undetected disruptions in the timing and coordination of their reproductive hormones that could impair fertility, according to research presented at the 28th European Congress of Endocrinology in Prague. | | | | |  Study challenges assumptions about testosterone’s role in brain cancer Scientists have long suspected that androgens, male sex hormones like testosterone, may help tumors grow because the hormones can suppress immune responses to some cancers. | | | | |  Why older adults are turning to edible cannabis for sleep, pain, and mood Older adults in Colorado were drawn to edible cannabis mainly to manage sleep problems, pain, anxiety, or depression, often after concerns about conventional medicines or limited relief from other treatments.

| | | | |  Researchers compare the effects of caffeine and aerobic exercise on mental fatigue in adults. | | | | |  A JAMA Network Open study found that the US recorded 12.7 million excess deaths compared with 17 peer high-income countries between 1999 and 2022. Circulatory and metabolic diseases drove much of the burden, while drug poisonings, alcohol-related deaths, and suicide sharply widened the gap among younger Americans. | | | | |  Organoids are miniature tissue or organ models formed by stem cells (including pluripotent stem cells, tissue-specific adult stem cells, etc.) or progenitor cells in an in vitro three-dimensional culture system, which possess structural features and partial functions analogous to their corresponding in vivo organs. | | | | |  Researchers developed a real-time brain-controlled hearing system that uses neural signals to identify and amplify the speaker a listener is focusing on in noisy, multi-talker environments. Using intracranial brain recordings, the system improved speech intelligibility, reduced listening effort, tracked attention shifts, and provided a benchmark for future brain-guided hearing aids. | | | | |  A macroeconomic modelling study across 190 countries and territories estimates that diabetes could reduce global economic output by INT$5.177 trillion between 2021 and 2050. Most projected losses stem from diabetes-related disability and morbidity, with high-income countries facing the largest dollar losses and low- and middle-income countries carrying most of the disease burden. | | | | |  Research shows that leisure activities, including arts engagement and physical exercise, are linked to slower epigenetic aging and improved health outcomes. | |
