METHODOLOGY: The analysis […]

In an article currently in press in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, a team of scientists studied the food intake of preschool children to examine the relationship between factors such as meal energy density (ED) or meal weight and meal energy intake. Their findings indicate that children’s energy intake increases and then decreases with […]

Treatment with PD-1 inhibitor toripalimab along with radiation therapy improves outcomes in patients with stage I/II extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma who don’t achieve a complete response to initial chemotherapy, while pretreatment mutational profiles offer clues as to which patients may respond to such anti-PD-1 treatments, according to studies presented at the European Society of Medical Oncology (ESMO) […]

In a recent study published in the journal Food & Function, a team of European researchers explored the role of blackcurrant (BC) extracts in reducing blood sugar or glycemic levels after meals and investigated whether fruit fiber can enhance this effect. Their results indicate that while BC reduces glycemic levels immediately after meals, higher doses […]

TOPLINE: Higher triglyceride levels — a main energy source for the brain — are associated with lower risk for dementia that is not mediated by age, sex, or APOE-ε4 allele status, a large study of community-dwelling older adults suggests. METHODOLOGY: The analysis included 18,294 participants, median age 75 years and median triglyceride level 106 mg/dL, […]

A team of University of Waterloo researchers has created smart, advanced materials that will be the building blocks for a future generation of soft medical microrobots.  These tiny robots have the potential to conduct medical procedures, such as biopsy, and cell and tissue transport, in a minimally invasive fashion. They can move through confined and […]

When Haley Naik, MD, joined the University of California, San Francisco, as a dermatologist in 2015, she was struck by the dearth of data in the medical literature about hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). “For decades there were no datasets to begin to understand HS — its clinical course, how patients respond to medications, and how quality of […]
