USA: A large-scale study published in Allergy, the official journal of the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, has uncovered a strong bidirectional association between seborrheic dermatitis (SD) and several epithelial barrier diseases (EBDs). The research, by Sabrina Meng from the Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, USA, and colleagues, provides new insights […]
Will it be possible to treat severe kidney inflammation with fewer drugs in the future? A new study by the University Hospital Bonn (UKB), the University of Bonn, and the University of Hamburg gives cause for hope. The researchers show that even low, repeated doses of steroids could be enough to stop inflammation in particularly […]
Researchers have found in a new study that undernutrition, alcohol abuse, and smoking account for over a third of TB outcomes in India that are unfavorable. The research determined that these factors greatly raise the risks of treatment failure, recurrence, and mortality in patients with drug-sensitive pulmonary TB, and they therefore present high-yield targets for […]
Researchers have found that topical curcumin may help reduce Candida albicans infection and inflammation in patients with denture stomatitis. The study published in Expert Opinion on Drug Delivery evaluated curcumin’s therapeutic effects when applied directly to the oral mucosa and denture surfaces. Patients with denture-related inflammation showed marked improvement in redness, soreness, and other clinical […]

Chronic low back pain (cLBP) is common. Physiotherapy is frequently indicated as a non-pharmacological management of these patients. Baroncini et al published an article in ‘Journal of Orthopaedics and Traumatology’. This Bayesian network meta-analysis compared active versus passive physiotherapy versus their combination in terms of pain and disability in patients with mechanical and/or non-specific cLBP. […]
Researchers at North Carolina State University have shown a link between the size of cockroach home infestations and the levels of both allergens and endotoxins in those homes, with lowering roach infestation numbers through pest control triggering significant declines in the levels of allergens and endotoxins. The study’s findings suggest that eliminating cockroach infestations could […]
During the menopause transition, only 1 in 5 women have optimal scores using the American Heart Association’s health-assessment tool, known as Life’s Essential 8 (LE8). Among the tool’s eight components, four of them-blood glucose, blood pressure, sleep quality and nicotine use-are key in driving future cardiovascular risks, with sleep being particularly crucial for long-term cardiovascular […]
A new study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association revealed that short-term exposure to both cold and hot temperatures increases the risk of all-cause and cardiovascular death in heart failure patients. The study also observed a rising mortality risk from high temperatures over time, which highlights the need for better adaptation strategies […]
Dry eyes can cause significant discomfort, and the symptoms become more common as we age. However, until now, it was unclear what proportion of the population suffered from the condition, with estimates ranging from 5-50%. In fact, research presented today (Monday) at the 43rd Congress of the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons (ESCRS) […]
