A new study has found, for the first time, that consuming beverages that taste like beer or cocktails but contain no alcohol can significantly reduce alcohol intake. Replacing alcoholic beverages with non-alcoholic ones may be an effective strategy for… Continue reading Downing non-alcoholic beverages leads to a drop in excessive drinking
Researchers have developed an alternative way of desensitizing very young peanut-allergic children to the food. Under-the-tongue immunotherapy was found to be safer and easier to administer than the current treatment and may provide another method of c… Continue reading Under-the-tongue immunotherapy a treatment for childhood peanut allergy
A new study has found that healthy women risk future cardiovascular disease by reducing their sleep time by as little as one-and-a-half hours a night over the long term. The finding reinforces an important message: make sure you get enough sleep.Contin… Continue reading Mild long-term lack of sleep can increase women’s heart disease risk
A new study has investigated the biological mechanisms brought about by calorie restriction and found that a moderate reduction in calorie intake can improve muscle health and activate biological pathways important for good health.Continue ReadingCateg… Continue reading Calorie restriction stimulates muscle health & healthy aging genes
A new study has found that methotrexate, a widely available and affordable drug that’s usually prescribed as a first-line treatment for rheumatoid arthritis, is effective at reducing the pain and stiffness suffered by people with hand osteoarthritis. U… Continue reading Hand osteoarthritis symptoms relieved by an affordable existing drug
Researchers have developed a 3D organ-on-a-chip, complete with blood vessels, that mimics the human joint. The discovery will help researchers understand the pathology of joint diseases better and assist with the identification and testing of new treat… Continue reading New organ-on-a-chip provides hope to arthritis sufferers
Researchers have developed a more convenient way of measuring omega-3 fatty acid levels in the blood, an important biomarker of disease risk. The faster, simpler test will make it easier for healthcare professionals to obtain critical information about… Continue reading New blood test more convenient for measuring important omega-3 levels
Researchers have found that desynchronizing the circadian rhythm in rats caused brain changes that had a significant impact on appetite and feeding behavior. The findings have important implications for night shift workers and those suffering jet lag a… Continue reading Upsetting circadian rhythm causes brain changes that increase appetite
Researchers have developed a scalpel with built-in force-measuring sensors and coupled it with a machine-learning model that could streamline how doctors are trained to perform surgery and pave the way for automated surgical devices.Continue ReadingCat… Continue reading Force-sensing ‘smart scalpel’ helps hone doctors’ surgical skills
Researchers have identified previously unknown genes linked to calcium buildup in the coronary arteries, a predictor of future heart disease. They found that some of these genes can be targeted by existing drugs or nutritional supplements, potentially … Continue reading Previously unidentified genes linked to coronary artery disease
