Reduced endocannabinoid-related lipids found in patients with NSAID-exacerbated respiratory disease
NSAID-exacerbated respiratory disease, N-ERD, is associated with measurable changes in concentrations of lipid mediators involved in inflammation and pain modulation, a new study shows.
INTEGRA Biosciences' SWITCH hybrid pipette sets a new standard for ergonomic pipetting
INTEGRA Biosciences' SWITCH hybrid pipette has been scientifically evaluated for ergonomics through an in-depth collaboration with the Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW).
How short school closures hit Japan’s low-income boys hardest in math
Researchers examine the effects of school closures on the academic success of children from a wide range of socioeconomic backgrounds in Japan.
Skipping breakfast raises metabolic syndrome risk
Research shows that skipping breakfast increases the risk of metabolic syndrome, emphasizing the need for a nutritious morning meal to support long-term health.
Nurses urged to ditch gloves for IV antibiotics
A scoping review reveals non-sterile glove use during IV antibiotic preparation lacks evidence, potentially harming infection control and increasing costs.
Multifamily therapy helps parents reconnect with teens who refuse school
A study on multifamily therapy reveals its impact on parents of anxious adolescents, improving family interactions and self-efficacy in managing school refusal.
Dermatological symptoms could signal higher risk in psychiatric patients
Scientists have discovered that mental health patients who have skin conditions may be more at risk of worse outcomes, including suicidality and depression.
Brain serotonin levels linked to sexual side effects from antidepressants
Researchers have discovered that the ability to have an erection or to orgasm is related to the levels of serotonin in the brain, but this relation only applies to depressed patients taking SSRI antidepressants.
Global health study warns of rising youth deaths amid declining overall mortality
Global mortality rates are falling but not among youths and young adults, according to the latest Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study published in The Lancet today and presented at the World Health Summit in Berlin.
Food insecurity and loneliness linked to higher risk of chronic pain after surgery
People who experience food insecurity or loneliness are much more likely to develop chronic pain after surgery, according to new research presented at the ANESTHESIOLOGY® 2025 annual meeting.
Study finds prolonged fasting common among infants before anesthesia
Most children - including nearly 80% of infants - go without clear liquids before surgery for at least twice as long as guidelines recommend, according to an analysis of data on more than 70,000 children presented at the ANESTHESIOLOGY 2025 annual meeting.
Ketogenic diet protects young rats from effects of prenatal stress
Researchers have shown that young rats fed a ketogenic diet – a diet with high fat and low carbohydrates – are protected from the lasting experience of pre-natal stress.
Study reveals distinct links between depression subtypes and metabolic diseases
It is known that depression is linked to increased incidence of metabolic diseases; now scientists have discovered that different types of depression are linked to different cardiometabolic diseases. This work is presented at the ECNP Congress in Amsterdam.
Older non-English speakers face higher delirium risk after surgery
Older patients who primarily speak a language other than English may face a greater risk of developing delirium after surgery in U.S. hospitals, according to new research presented at the ANESTHESIOLOGY 2025 annual meeting. The

New mothers are more likely to experience severe pain that disrupts sleep and activities of daily living, as well as develop sleep disorders, if they give birth by cesarean delivery (C-section), suggests research presented at the ANESTHESIOLOGY 2025 annual meeting.
Fentanyl-stimulant overdose deaths surge among older adults
Overdose deaths in adults age 65 and older from fentanyl mixed with stimulants, such as cocaine and methamphetamines, have surged 9,000% in the past eight years, matching rates found among younger adults, according to research presented at the ANESTHESIOLOGY 2025 annual meeting.
Western diet fuels IBD by derailing the microbiome - can precision nutrition turn the tide?
This review examines how Western dietary patterns, high in ultra-processed foods, salt, and unhealthy fats, disrupt gut microbiota, impair immune regulation, and contribute to the global rise of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). It highlights systems biology and nutritional epidemiology as essential tools to develop personalised dietary strategies and shift IBD care from treatment to prevention.
Digital test plus blood biomarker boosts accuracy of Alzheimer’s diagnosis in primary care
A Swedish-led study validated a self-administered digital cognitive test (BioCog) in primary care, showing it can accurately detect objective cognitive impairment before blood biomarkers are applied. When paired with a targeted amyloid blood test, this stepwise pathway outperformed standard assessments for diagnosing clinical Alzheimer’s disease.
Why your diet may be exporting extinction abroad without you knowing
This global analysis shows that the biodiversity impact of producing 1 kg of food can vary by up to 1,000-fold, with ruminant meat and tropical luxury crops carrying the highest extinction risks. Using the LIFE metric, researchers reveal how national diets and food imports contribute to hidden biodiversity losses, highlighting dietary shifts as a powerful conservation tool.
