Creatine is safe, effective and important for everyone, longtime researcher says

Creatine, the supplement popular with athletes for its ability to help build strength and power, is increasingly being recognized for its broad health benefits. The compound’s usefulness extends well beyond the gym, according to Dr. Richard Kreider, professor and director of the Exercise & Sport Nutrition Lab at Texas A&M University. Kreider has spent more […]

SGLT-2 inhibitors effective in treating cirrhosis patients under diuretic therapy: JAMA

A new study published in the Journal of American Medical Association showed that the usage of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors was linked to a decreased risk of severe liver outcomes. There are currently few effective treatment options available to lessen the consequences of cirrhosis. Inhibitors of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT-2), which are mostly used […]

New study shows link between childhood health and risk of disease in men in later life

New research has shown how boys being overweight in early childhood or having chickenpox or another infectious disease in infancy may increase their risk of having chronic disease in later life. Scientists from the University of Nottingham’s School of Biosciences have analysed the level of the unique testis hormone biomarker insulin-like peptide 3 (INSL3) in […]

Novel study uncovers the critical role of ADAM10 protein in development of retinal disorders

New research has found that the endothelial cell-specific A disintegrin and metalloproteinase domain-containing protein 10 (ADAM10) regulates abnormal blood vessel growth in the damaged retina, which can cause vision loss or impairment. The findings of the new study in The American Journal of Pathology, published by Elsevier, have significant implications for understanding the pathophysiology of […]

Cervical HPV Linked to Increased Risk of Oral HPV in Women: Study

Researchers have discovered in a new study a strong association between cervical HPV infection and elevated risk of oral HPV. They found that Women with abnormal cervical cytology showed the highest rates of oral HPV presence. As many as 1 in 8 women with cervical HPV had oral HPV, suggesting the need to consider oral […]

Acupuncture significantly reduces stress, pain, and anxiety for patients undergoing IVF, suggests study

A recent study published by researchers at University Hospitals Connor Whole Health and Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine revealed that Whole Systems Traditional Chinese Medicine (WS-TCM), when integrated with in vitro fertilization (IVF), significantly improves patient-reported levels of stress, pain, and anxiety within a single treatment session. The researchers are also among the […]

CO₂ Laser Tonsillotomy Offers Effective, Cost-Efficient Relief for Tonsil Issues: JAMA

Netherlands: In a secondary analysis of a randomized clinical trial, researchers found that CO₂ laser tonsillotomy (TO) and tonsillectomy (TE) under general anesthesia effectively reduced long-term symptoms, with TE showing slightly greater symptom reduction. However, TO had lower costs and similar patient satisfaction, making it a safe, effective, and cost-efficient option for tonsil-related conditions. The […]

TNF Inhibitor linked to Remission in Early axSpA regardless of Gut Inflammation: Study

A new study published in the journal of Arthritis & Rheumatology showed that early treatment with a TNF inhibitor led to remission in most patients with active axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA), regardless of baseline gut inflammation. Intestinal inflammation did not impact sustained remission rates, and about 75% of patients relapsed after stopping treatment. The patients with […]

Novel brain imaging platform combines upright PET and AR eye tracking to advance cognitive disorder research

A cutting-edge brain imaging platform that integrates upright PET scanning, an augmented reality (AR) headset, and motion tracking enables researchers to study brain function in a more natural and dynamic way. Presented at the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging 2025 Annual Meeting, the new system-called Motion-tracked Immersive functional PET (MIf-PET)-allows participants to sit […]
