Fractyl Health, Inc. (Fractyl), a clinical-stage metabolic therapeutics company focused on pioneering novel approaches to treat obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D), today announced positive one-year results from its REMAIN-1 Midpoint Cohort (“Midpoint Cohort”).

Researchers developed a theoretical model showing how attention to unusually positive or negative experiences can systematically distort long-term beliefs about probability. The model suggests that rare events may remain overweighted even after extensive learning, while ordinary observations receive less influence.

Regularly sleeping long hours each night is associated with higher levels of an Alzheimer's-related protein in the blood, even accounting for other health factors, suggests a new study from UT Health San Antonio, the academic health center of The University of Texas at San Antonio.
