Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second most common cancer in the United States. This highlights the importance of early detection and treatment of precancerous lesions like large polyps. Endoscopy offers a minimally invasive approach to removing these polyps, reducing the need for traditional surgery.

A study in the World Allergy Organization Journal reveals that higher dietary zinc intake is linked to a lower risk of asthma in overweight or obese children and adolescents, indicating zinc's potential role in asthma prevention in this group.

A recent study in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics found that avocado consumption is associated with a reduced risk of diabetes in Mexican women, but not in men, highlighting potential gender-specific dietary benefits.

Digital memory test and a blood sample - this combination will be tested for its potential to identify early Alzheimer's disease in a new research study. Over a hundred healthcare centers are part of the study that is now inviting participants to sign up. At least 3,000, preferably many more participants are needed for the study to be successful.

A recent study in eClinicalMedicine assesses whether individuals with diabetes are more susceptible to developing long COVID, analyzing a UK cohort to explore the prolonged impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection in this population.
