Unreliable datasets are shaping clinical prediction models
This research assesses data provenance in widely used health datasets, revealing flaws that could undermine clinical prediction models and patient care.
Semaglutide dose may matter more than weight loss for heart health
The study shows semaglutide's cardiovascular benefits are more closely tied to attained dose than weight loss, challenging existing treatment assumptions.

Wild carnivores reveal wider West Nile and Usutu virus exposure in the Netherlands
Researchers detected Usutu virus RNA in nine of 818 wild carnivores sampled across the Netherlands, while no animals tested positive for West Nile virus RNA. Neutralizing antibodies to one or both viruses in red foxes and stone martens indicate broader spillover exposure and suggest these species may support arbovirus surveillance.
A 10-minute evening skincare massage may help women sleep better and feel less anxious
Four weeks of a 10-minute evening cosmetic routine with self-massage improved self-reported sleep quality, state anxiety, mental health, and vitality in women with sleep complaints compared with usual routines. Exploratory wearable data showed longer total and deep sleep on rest days, but the non-randomized design and absence of wearable controls limit causal conclusions.
Sleep patterns influence eating habits and metabolic health
Whether you are an early bird or a night owl, your sleep patterns can tell a lot about a person's eating habits and subsequently the potential health risks.
Muscle health plays crucial role in diabetes risk, study finds
A major new international study led by Curtin University, has found diabetes risk is about more than just body weight or obesity, revealing muscle health also likely plays a big role in whether people will develop the condition.
New York pedestrian fatalities often involve alcohol and drugs
In New York State, 44% of pedestrian deaths involved alcohol or drug use by the pedestrian, suggests a retrospective analysis published online in the journal Injury Prevention.
Vaping reduces fitness and blood vessel function in young adults
Young people who vape or smoke cigarettes have reduced blood vessel functionality, breathing efficiency and exercise capacity compared to those who have never smoked or vaped, according to a study published today in ERJ Open Research.
Family caregiving drives majority of dementia-related costs across Europe
Researchers found that 58% of total dementia-related costs are linked to unpaid care provided by family members, friends and other informal caregivers, highlighting the substantial burden of dementia beyond healthcare systems alone.
Combination treatment strategy uses cells' waste removal functions to dismantle multiple myeloma
New research out of VCU Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center provides promising evidence for an innovative combination treatment strategy that uses cells' waste removal functions to effectively dismantle multiple myeloma.
Myotonia may play a much larger role in driving muscle damage than previously recognized
For decades, researchers studying myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) have focused on the disease's underlying genetic cause: a mutation that produces a toxic form of RNA, disrupting the normal processing of thousands of genetic messages inside cells.
New trial helps reshape the future of recovery research for critically ill patients
A new national clinical trial, funded by the National Institutes of Health, is helping reshape the future of recovery research for critically ill patients, providing important new evidence about how rehabilitation and nutrition interventions should be delivered during severe illness and informing the next generation of research to improve ICU survivors' outcomes.
Structural study identifies unexpected cancer-regulating functions of MLL4 protein
The epigenetic modifier MLL4 has an unassuming name-the 4, for instance, indicates it's just one in a family of such modifiers.
Screen soothing shapes young children's cognitive development over time
In "Llama Llama Mad at Mama," a popular children's book from 2007, a little Llama Llama goes to the grocery with his mama and becomes overwhelmed by all the sounds, sights, smells and shopping decisions happening around him.
GLP-1 weight loss may reduce first-impression penalties in relationships and hiring
An NBER working paper found that GLP-1 initiation and associated weight loss were followed by higher partnership formation among initially single women and greater employment entry among women who were not employed. The findings suggest that part of the female obesity penalty may arise when prospective partners and employers form first impressions, although the observational analysis did not directly prove discrimination
