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, […]

As little as 1 per cent reduction in deep sleep per year for people over 60 years of age translates into a 27 per cent increased risk of dementia, according to a study which suggests that enhancing or maintaining deep sleep, also known as slow wave sleep, in older years could stave off dementia. The […]

Vitamin B6, vitamin D, green tea, and probiotics are among the oral nutraceuticals that may benefit patients with acne, results from a systematic literature review suggest. “While many topical and systemic prescription options are available for the treatment of acne, some patients may be interested in natural and complementary therapies as either an adjunctive or […]

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 […]

Research has shown that music might be a drug-free way to lower humans’ pain perception. This decreased sensitivity to pain – also known as hypoalgesia – can occur when pain stimuli are disrupted between their point of input and where they are recognized as pain by the conscious mind. In a new study, researchers in […]

A new global analysis highlights the substantial burden of premature deaths from cancer around the world ― a burden that could potentially be averted through prevention, early detection, and timely treatment. According to the analysis, in 2020, over half of all cancer deaths — 5.28 million of 9.96 million — occurred prematurely (before age 70), […]

In a recent study published in the Journal of Food Protection, researchers investigated the effects of antimicrobial variables, including storage temperatures, pH, and ethanol concentrations, on common bacterial populations in low- and non-alcoholic beer. They inoculated variable-controlled replicates of non-alcoholic beer with five bacterial strains and monitored bacterial populations over 63 days. Their findings suggest […]

Recognizing the immense value this group brings to my business, I’m eager to contribute by sharing my unique “Holy Grail Copy” methodology. This approach, though unconventional, has been pivotal in building multi-million-dollar businesses for both myself and my clients. To pique your interest, someone once said about my frameworks: “Your strategies are like Hansel and […]

VANCOUVER, BC — Two multitarget stool tests in development compare favorably for colorectal cancer (CRC) screening in average-risk people, suggest two new studies. In a blinded, prospective, cross-sectional study, researchers assessed a multitarget stool RNA test (mt-sRNA; Colosense, Geneoscopy) vs colonoscopy for detection of advanced adenomas and CRC in average-risk individuals aged 45 years and […]
