    Almost half of children who require surgery for complicated appendicitis can safely complete their recovery at home, according to a new study.

  • AI-powered mammograms: A new window into heart health
    on March 20, 2025

    Mammograms, with the help of artificial intelligence (AI) models, may reveal much more than cancer, according to a new study. The findings highlight how these important cancer screening tools can also be used to assess the amount of calcium buildup in the arteries within breast tissue — an indicator of cardiovascular health.

  • How a Y chromosome gene may shape the course of heart valve disease
    on March 20, 2025

    Researchers have shed new light on how a type of heart valve disease — aortic valve stenosis — progresses differently in males and females.

  • Part of the genetic risk for schizophrenia acts through the placenta
    on March 20, 2025

    An international team has identified associations between modifications in the placenta and the risk of developing schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depression disorder.

  • The fine control of cell mechanics
    on March 20, 2025

    Our skin and mucous membranes are protected by epithelial cells. This ‘barrier’ tissue performs its function thanks to specialized structures called ‘junctions’. They ensure cell cohesion and regulate exchanges across the space between cells. Researchers have studied the role of a specific protein, gamma-actin, in the organization and mechanics of epithelial cells and their junctions. Their work reveals a mechanism of interdependence of different forms of the cytoskeletal proteins actin and […]

  • New CRISPR tool enables more seamless gene editing — and improved disease modeling
    on March 20, 2025

    Advances in the gene-editing technology known as CRISPR-Cas9 over the past 15 years have yielded important new insights into the roles that specific genes play in many diseases. But to date this technology — which allows scientists to use a ‘guide’ RNA to modify DNA sequences and evaluate the effects — is able to target, delete, replace, or modify only single gene sequences with a single guide RNA and has limited ability to assess multiple genetic changes simultaneously. Now, however, […]

  • Could the layout of trees impact human health?
    on March 20, 2025

    A long-term Switzerland-wide study has found that neighbourhoods with numerous, well-arranged trees exhibit lower mortality risks than other areas. The reasons behind this, and the factors that play a role, will require further research.

  • Supplementation Behavior and Expenditures in Healthy German Vegans, Lacto-Ovo-Vegetarians and Omnivores: A Cross-Sectional Study
    on March 20, 2025

    Purpose: Dietary supplements may ensure an adequate intake of nutrients of concern in all diets. Supplementation behavior and expenditures in vegetarians and vegans, however, have been rarely discussed in the literature. Methods: We reviewed supplementation expenditures in a cohort of 115 healthy adult German vegans, lacto-ovo-vegetarians and omnivores, characterized by comparable sociodemographic data. Supplementation behavior (excluding protein supplements) was re-analyzed to estimate […]

  • The Two Dimensions of Nutrition for the Planet: Environment and Health
    on March 20, 2025

    PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Protecting the planet is protecting the future. Food production systems are among the most important human activities threatening planetary health. Diet, food systems, the environment, and health are interconnected. Accordingly, this review aims to assess the effects of nutrition on the planet and the relationship between some types of diets defined as sustainable and the planet and human health.

  • Patterns of implicit and explicit identity as a vegan or vegetarian in predicting healthy orthorexia and orthorexia nervosa
    on March 18, 2025

    Orthorexia nervosa (OrNe) is an eating disorder characterised by a pathological interest and preoccupation with healthy foods and a healthy diet. Evidence suggests that tendencies towards OrNe may be prevalent across diet groups, and this is particularly the case in vegans and vegetarians. Our previous work has identified that alongside individual differences in obsessive compulsiveness and perfectionism, cognitive biases (attentional preference for healthy-related cues) are associated with…

  • Healthful vs. Unhealthful Plant-Based Restaurant Meals
    on March 13, 2025

    Background: Vegan/vegetarian (VEG) restaurants and VEG options in omnivore (OMNI) restaurants may serve unhealthful plant-based food that may be more harmful than a typical American diet. Methods: A sample of 561 restaurants with online menus were analyzed over a 3-year period. Each plant-based menu entrée was counted, up to a maximum of ten entrées per restaurant, meaning that a restaurant customer could select from ten or more healthful plant-based choices. Entrées containing refined […]

  • Impact of Vegan and Vegetarian Diets on Neurological Health: A Critical Review
    on March 13, 2025

    CONCLUSIONS: While plant-based diets provide anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits, their neurological implications depend on nutrient adequacy. Proper planning, supplementation, and food preparation techniques are essential to mitigate risks and enhance cognitive health. Further research is needed to explore long-term neurological outcomes and optimize dietary strategies.
