Greater variation in blood pressure between research visits was associated with a higher risk of death in a study of more than 57,000 UK Biobank participants.

Fatty liver disease is commonly associated with obesity, yet a growing number of people with normal body weight develop a severe form of the condition.

The area in which someone lives strongly influences their risk of developing type 2 diabetes, new research from Canada being presented at the annual meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) in Milan, Italy (Sept 28 – Oct 2) suggests.

New research to be presented at the Annual Meeting of The European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) in Milan, Italy (Sept 28 – Oct 2) shows no link between semaglutide use and pancreatic cancer using nationwide registry data from Denmark, Sweden and Norway.

Research reveals how exercise alters gut microbes, influencing recovery and proposing 'intestinal rehabilitation' for those with limited exercise capacity.

Advances in early diagnosis and cancer treatment mean that growing numbers of people are surviving cancer, with approximately 3.5 million people now living with and beyond the disease in the United Kingdom.

Exercise-based rehabilitation and education can reduce the chance of knee osteoarthritis following ACL reconstruction in people aged under 40, as well as improve pain and quality of life, a study by La Trobe University researchers has found.

Cancer neoantigens and neoantigen-specific T cells were identified from patient blood samples by analyzing circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) and immune cells, respectively, and they largely matched those found through traditional tumor tissue biopsy in many patients.

Investigating 'food noise', this study reveals its association with diet quality and mental health, emphasizing demographic influences and eating behaviors.

In the Balkans, cancer survival rates lag due to late diagnoses and weak screening programs, highlighting the need for improved early detection strategies.

Tau tangles are closely linked to Alzheimer’s disease progression. But the tau species associated with these aggregates are present at exceptionally low levels in blood, making them difficult to measure.

The updated modular PressureSyn introduces an optional overhead stirring manifold, addressing a limitation of magnetic stirring in demanding high-pressure reactions: as viscosity or solids content increases, magnetic coupling can lose consistent contact with the stir bar, leading to unreliable mixing.

A conference paper reviewed North American and Andean Indigenous foods, including Three Sisters crops, wild rice, native berries, tarwi, quinoa, and amaranth, and described their nutrients and bioactive compounds. Evidence for health effects remains limited for many of these foods, and the authors call for research developed with Indigenous communities that also supports traditional knowledge and food sovereignty.

When a patient arrives at the hospital with an acetaminophen overdose, it's often a race against the clock. The only FDA-approved antidote for overdose-related liver injury, N‑acetylcysteine, must be administered within hours to be effective.

A focused narrative review traces how caffeine, chlorogenic acids, and coffee fibers move through the gut and interact with microbes. The authors identify plausible links between the microbiome and liver health, but human studies have not shown that microbiome changes cause coffee’s reported metabolic benefits.

Researchers analyzed 44 Bundibugyo virus genomes and modeled how approved and experimental Ebola antibodies might bind the virus’s glycoprotein. The models predicted disrupted binding for Ebanga, conserved targets for MBP134, and different binding behavior for the complete Inmazeb cocktail than for two of its antibodies alone; laboratory tests are needed to determine whether these findings translate into treatment benefit.

Patients preparing for pancreatic cancer surgery maintained better physical function and experienced less fatigue with five treatments of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) than with 28 treatments of conventional radiation therapy given with chemotherapy, according to a randomized phase 2 clinical trial.

Researchers analyzed dietary data from 204,938 UK Biobank participants and identified blood protein and metabolite profiles associated with adherence to the EAT-Lancet diet. These profiles showed stronger links to several health outcomes and modeled life expectancy than the diet score, but the observational study cannot establish that the diet caused those differences.

In a discrete choice experiment involving 272 Dutch adults, researchers examined how people valued meat, meat replacers, and legumes across pasta and traditional potatoes-meat-vegetables meals. Health and sustainability labels ranked highly, but participants still tended to favor meat when measured product attributes were held constant, with only modest differences across meal settings.

Five-treatment stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) provided excellent long-term cancer control with fewer urinary and sexual side effects than surgery in the first randomized trial to directly compare the treatments for localized prostate cancer.
