Hourly Heat Exposure linked to Increased Risk of Acute Ischemic Stroke: JAMA

In a groundbreaking study conducted across more than 200 stroke centers in China, researchers have uncovered a direct and immediate association between hourly high ambient temperatures and the onset of Acute Ischemic Stroke (AIS). While previous studies have explored the broader connection between daily high temperatures and ischemic stroke outcomes, this research uniquely focuses on […]

Unlocking the Nexus: Vitamin D Deficiency and Nerve Health in Elderly Type 2 Diabetes Patients

In a groundbreaking investigation, researchers have delved into the profound interconnection between Vitamin D deficiency (VDD) and diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) among elderly individuals grappling with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This study, involving 257 elderly T2DM patients, presents compelling insights into the intricate relationship between Vitamin D levels and the development of peripheral nerve […]

Consumption of flavonol-rich diet lowers mortality and disease risk: Study

China: A recent study showed a decline in the risks of all-cause, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality with increased intake of dietary flavonoids in US adults. The finding, published in Scientific Reports, may be related to anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, and anti-oxidative stress properties of flavonol. Foods rich in flavonols include onions, tea, […]

Keratinized mucosal width, supracrestal tissue height and dental implant diameter may influence peri-implant marginal bone loss

Keratinized mucosal width, supracrestal tissue height and implant diameter may influence peri-implant marginal bone loss suggests a new study published in the Clinical Implant Dentistry and Related Research. There is evidence that the apico-coronal implant position and the mucosal phenotype can affect the extent of peri-implant bone loss. This clinical trial analyzes the bone remodeling […]

Even Short-Term Exposure to Air Pollution Linked to Increased Mortality Rates: JAMA

While the association between air pollution and mortality is well-documented, few studies have utilized causal modeling approaches to comprehensively account for spatiotemporal confounders. A recent cross-sectional study aimed to estimate the relationship between short-term changes in fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) concentrations and daily all-cause mortality rates across four regions. This study […]

Study finds cognitive deficits even in fully recovered survivors of mild COVID

UK: A recent study published in the New England Journal of Medicine revealed similar small deficits in memory, thinking, or concentrating (“brain fog”) among COVID-19 patients recovering from short-term symptoms versus those with longer-term symptoms. “Subjects with resolved persistent symptoms after COVID-19 had objectively measured cognitive function comparable to that in participants with shorter-duration symptoms,” […]
