Cardiac Structural Impairment Linked to Increased Risk of Long-Term Adverse Health Events and Mortality
Higher left atrial end-systolic dimension (LASD), a measure of the size of the heart’s left upper chamber, and greater left ventricular mass (LVM), which reflects the weight of the heart’s…
Exercise Could Play a Key Role in Helping People Stop Smoking
Exercise could provide smokers with a simple and accessible extra tool to help them quit, according to a new systematic review led by researchers from the Alliance for Research in…
The Tiny Cellular Framework Behind Brain Development
A tiny and largely overlooked structure inside human cells may hold important clues to how the brain develops, potentially opening new pathways for understanding developmental disorders and future treatments. In…
‘Forever Chemicals’ Found in Nearly Entire US Study Population, Researchers Report
Artificial “forever chemicals” have been detected in 98.8% of blood samples analysed in a major new US study involving more than 10,500 tests, adding to growing evidence that exposure to…
Healthy Hearts May Still Face the Risk of Alzheimer’s Disease
A new clinical trial suggests that improving cardiovascular health alone may not be enough to protect older adults from cognitive decline associated with Alzheimer’s disease. Researchers found that while exercise…
Artificial Intelligence Offers Promise in Identifying Advanced Heart Failure
Researchers have developed a new artificial intelligence (AI) approach that may help doctors identify patients with advanced heart failure more easily and efficiently. The study, led by investigators from Weill…
Cardiac Structural Impairment Linked to Increased Risk of Long-Term Adverse Health Events and Mortality
Higher left atrial end-systolic dimension (LASD), a measure of the size of the heart’s left upper chamber, and greater left ventricular mass (LVM), which reflects the weight of the heart’s…
Hospital-Related Delirium Could Be an Early Warning Sign of Dementia
Older adults who experience delirium during a hospital admission may face a substantially increased risk of developing dementia in later life, even if they were previously in relatively good health,…
Falling Temperatures Drive Up Heart-Related Mortality Rates
Following one of the coldest winters in recent memory across large parts of the country, new research is drawing attention to a frequently underestimated consequence of low temperatures: a marked…
Ageing and the Breakdown of Proper Cellular Responses
Some of the changes we associate with ageing begin deep inside our cells, particularly in the nucleus where DNA is stored. DNA is not loose; it is tightly packaged into…
Why Older Adults Face Higher Risks from COVID-19 and Flu
Older adults are significantly more likely to develop severe illness from influenza or COVID-19, and new research suggests that ageing lung cells may play a central role in this vulnerability.…
Mediterranean-style eating could strengthen mitochondrial pathways supporting cardiovascular and cognitive health
A new study from researchers at the USC Leonard Davis School of Gerontology suggests that some of the well-known health benefits of the Mediterranean diet may be explained by tiny…
The Brain’s Internal Compass Stability May Hold the Key to Memory Longevity
A discovery by McGill University researchers sheds light on how memories can endure over time, even as brain activity is constantly in flux. Published in Nature, the preclinical study found…
Data-Driven Platform Reveals Alzheimer’s Pathways, Offering a New Approach to Predicting Risk
A powerful new real-world data platform could change how scientists understand and predict Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (AD/ADRD), according to a study led by researchers at Columbia University Mailman…
The Moving Body, the Hydraulic Brain: Exploring Fluid Shifts in the Brain
The brain is more mechanically connected to the body than previously understood, according to new research published on 27 April in Nature Neuroscience. Using experiments in mice alongside computational simulations,…
Lingering Effects: How Early Substance Use Leaves Its Mark on the Brain
Young adults who frequently use substances may face lasting consequences for memory later in life, according to new research from the University of Michigan. The study found that patterns of…
