  • Can preeclampsia be prevented?
    on December 1, 2023

    Preeclampsia is a mysterious condition that occurs in about one of 10 pregnancies without any early warning signs. After 20 weeks or more of normal blood pressure during the pregnancy, patients with preeclampsia will begin to experience elevated blood pressure and may also have increased levels of protein in their urine due to hypertension reducing the filtering power of the kidneys. Prolonged hypertension due to preeclampsia can lead to organ damage and life-threatening complications for […]

  • Pathogens use force to breach immune defenses, study finds
    on December 1, 2023

    New research has revealed a previously unknown process through which pathogens are able to defeat a cell’s defense mechanisms with physical force. The discovery represents a potential game-changer in the fight against intracellular pathogens, which cause infectious diseases such as tuberculosis, malaria and chlamydia.

  • Human behavior guided by fast changes in dopamine levels
    on December 1, 2023

    A new study shows that dopamine release in the human brain plays a crucial role in encoding both reward and punishment prediction errors. This means that dopamine is involved in the process of learning from both positive and negative experiences, allowing the brain to adjust and adapt its behavior based on the outcomes of these experiences.

  • Scientists work to bring tissue regeneration to replace root canal treatment
    on December 1, 2023

    Scientists are testing a novel technology to treat endodontic diseases more effectively through tissue regeneration instead of root canal therapy. Because the technology promotes formation of the type of stem cells that can differentiate into dentin (tooth), bone, cartilage or fat, it has huge potential for the field of regenerative medicine beyond the tissues in the teeth. It could be used to grow bones in other parts of the body.

  • A patch of protection against Zika virus
    on December 1, 2023

    A simple-to-apply, needle-free vaccine patch is being developed to protect people from the potentially deadly mosquito-borne Zika virus.

  • Replicating the structure of bird feathers
    on December 1, 2023

    Researchers at ETH Zurich have created a material traversed by a network of channels the size of micrometres in the same way as the microstructure of a bird’s feather. To do so they have developed a new method based on the phase separation of a polymer matrix and an oily solution. The new material could be used in batteries or filtration.

  • Why reading nursery rhymes and singing to babies may help them to learn language
    on December 1, 2023

    Phonetic information — the smallest sound elements of speech — may not be the basis of language learning in babies as previously thought. Babies don’t begin to process phonetic information reliably until seven months old — which researchers say is too late to form the foundation of language. Instead, babies learn from rhythmic information — the changing emphasis of syllables in speech — which unlike phonetic information, can be heard in the womb.

  • A microalgae docosahexaenoic acid supplement does not modify the influence of sex and diet on iron status in Spanish vegetarians or omnivores: A randomized placebo-controlled crossover study
    on December 2, 2023

    CONCLUSIONS: Spanish vegetarians had lower iron status than omnivores. Consumption of eggs and dairy products increased the risk for iron deficiency, but a microalgae DHA supplement had no effect. Dietary strategies to increase iron bioavailability in vegetarians, particularly in lacto-ovo vegetarians and women, are recommended.

  • Cardiometabolic Effects of Omnivorous vs Vegan Diets in Identical Twins: A Randomized Clinical Trial
    on November 30, 2023

    CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: In this randomized clinical trial of the cardiometabolic effects of omnivorous vs vegan diets in identical twins, the healthy vegan diet led to improved cardiometabolic outcomes compared with a healthy omnivorous diet. Clinicians can consider this dietary approach as a healthy alternative for their patients.

  • The Effects of Vegan Diet on Fetus and Maternal Health: A Review
    on November 30, 2023

    Veganism, a way of eating that forbids goods produced from animals, is rising in acceptance around the globe. This thorough analysis investigates how a vegan diet affects fetal growth during pregnancy, highlighting the need to maintain ideal maternal nutrition. The idea of “early life programming” emphasizes how a pregnant woman’s lifestyle impacts her unborn child’s health. Nutrient consumption during pregnancy makes it essential to have a healthy eating routine. While a carefully […]

  • Plant-based recovery from restrictive eating disorder: A qualitative enquiry
    on November 30, 2023

    CONCLUSIONS: These findings present a unique insight into the role that plant-based eating may play in recovery for some restrictive eating disorders. The data demonstrated that motivations to control food intake may contribute to the decision to eat plant-based. However, for these individuals it provided a “gateway” to a new more meaningful relationship with food. These findings highlight some of the risks and benefits of eating plant-based in recovery and an important role for health…

  • Long-term remission of type 2 diabetes through intense lifestyle modification program – A case series
    on November 29, 2023

    Type 2 diabetes (T2D) remission is being widely accepted and documented as feasible through calorie restriction and bariatric surgery. Recent studies with lifestyle changes have also shown T2D remission; however, long-term remission through lifestyle modifications is not yet established. Though glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is a universally accepted indicator of glycemic status, oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) would be a more robust marker in understanding whether the metabolic abnormalities […]
