(Press-News.org) About The Study: In this cohort study, bariatric surgery was associated with a significantly lower risk of developing major metabolic comorbidities compared with the medical weight management program. This finding supports the relevance of bariatric surgery as a durable approach for obesity-related risk mitigation.

Microbiome instability linked to poor growth in kids
2025-09-09
Malnutrition is a leading cause of death in children under age 5, and nearly 150 million children globally under this age have stunted growth from lack of nutrition. Although an inadequate diet is a major contributor, researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis found over a decade ago that dysfunctional communities of gut microbes play an important role in triggering malnutrition.
Now, in work done in collaboration with the Salk Institute and UC San Diego, WashU Medicine researchers have discovered that toddlers in Malawi — among the places hardest hit by malnutrition — who had a fluctuating gut microbiome ...
Can a healthy gut microbiome help prevent childhood stunting?
2025-09-09
LA JOLLA (September 9, 2025)—Malnutrition is responsible for more than half of all deaths in children under the age of five worldwide. Those who survive can still experience lifelong consequences like cognitive and developmental delays, impaired academic performance, economic instability, and negative maternal health outcomes. This enormous public health issue demands solutions. The latest studies point to gut microbiome—the diverse bacteria, viruses, and other microbes living in our intestines—as a great place to start.

Achieving low resistance and high performance in MTJs using high-entropy oxides
2025-09-09
A NIMS research team has developed a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) featuring a tunnel barrier made of a high-entropy oxide composed of multiple metallic elements. This MTJ simultaneously demonstrated stronger perpendicular magnetization, a higher tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) ratio (i.e., the relative change in electrical resistance when the magnetization directions of the two ferromagnetic layers switch between parallel and antiparallel alignments) and lower electrical resistance. These properties may contribute to the development of smaller, higher-capacity and higher-performance hard disk drives (HDDs) and magnetoresistive random ...
Gut microbiome influences proteins that drive aging and disease
2025-09-09
“These results support the role of gut microbiome as modulator of the inflammatory and cardiometabolic circuits, that may contribute to the onset of age-related diseases […]”
BUFFALO, NY — September 9, 2025 — A new research paper was published in Volume 17, Issue 8 of Aging-US on August 1, 2025, titled “Causal relationships between gut microbiome and hundreds of age-related traits: evidence of a replicable effect on ApoM protein levels.”
In this study, Federica Grosso, Daniela ...
NIH funds first-of-its-kind center to study resilience and aging
2025-09-09
COLLEGE PARK, Md. – America’s population is the oldest it has ever been. And though older people are more independent than ever, they face a huge care gap, one that challenges families, communities and healthcare systems.
Enter the Center for Seniors Uniting Nationwide to Support Health, INtegrated care, and Economics, known as the Center for SUNSHINE, an interdisciplinary collaboration funded by a $901,000 grant from the National Institute on Aging (NIA) for the first two years to establish the center, with the potential for up to six years of support.
Co-led by the University of Maryland School of Public Health (UMD SPH) and the University of Maryland, Baltimore ...
Mesonephric carcinoma and mesonephric-like adenocarcinoma of the female genital tract
2025-09-09
Mesonephric carcinoma (MC) is a rare cervical adenocarcinoma originating from mesonephric remnants, characterized by diverse architectural patterns and a distinct immunophenotype. A subset of adenocarcinomas in the endometrium and ovary with similar morphology but lacking association with mesonephric remnants is classified as mesonephric-like adenocarcinoma (MLA). This review synthesizes current knowledge on the clinicopathological and molecular features of MC and MLA, emphasizing their diagnostic challenges, differential diagnoses, and clinical behavior.
Mesonephric Remnants and Hyperplasia
Mesonephric remnants are vestiges of the Wolffian ducts, ...
Rural patients in the United States still face barriers to telehealth access
2025-09-09
(Toronto, September 9, 2025) Despite the promise of telehealth to bridge rural health care gaps, a new study published by JMIR Publications in the Journal of Medical Internet Research reveals that many rural-dwelling patients in the United States—especially those who are older, speak Spanish, or rely on public insurance—are still struggling to access virtual care.
The study, “Video and Telephone Telehealth Use and Web-Based Patient Portal Activation Among Rural-Dwelling Patients: Retrospective Medical Record Review and Policy Implications,” examined the telehealth usage patterns of over 9300 adults in rural California. Conducted by Meghan Rowe ...
Emphysema at CT lung screening increases death risk in asymptomatic adults
2025-09-09
OAK BROOK, Ill. – Emphysema detected on baseline low-dose chest CT (LDCT) in the lung cancer screening cohort of more than 9,000 asymptomatic adults was associated with death from all causes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and cardiovascular disease within a 25-year follow-up period in a new study published today in Radiology, a journal of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA).
Emphysema is a permanent and progressive lung disease in which air sacs in the lungs become damaged, making breathing difficult. It is primarily caused by long-term exposure to irritants like cigarette smoke and air pollution.
“Until now, ...
Brain iron on MRI predicts cognitive impairment, decline
2025-09-09
A special MRI technique that detects iron levels in different regions of the brain can predict the onset of mild cognitive impairment and cognitive decline in cognitively unimpaired older adults, potentially creating a pathway to earlier interventions, according to a study published today in Radiology, a journal of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA).
As the leading cause of dementia worldwide, Alzheimer’s disease is a growing public health crisis. The disease is characterized by the accumulation of abnormal ...
The ISSCR partners with Nuffield Council on Bioethics to compile global horizon scan on stem cell research
2025-09-09
The International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) today announced a new partnership with the Nuffield Council on Bioethics (NCOB) to conduct an ambitious international horizon scan focused on the future of stem cell science and its ethical implications. The initiative will help signal and inform updates to the ISSCR Guidelines for Stem Cell Research and Clinical Translation and guide the Society’s broader public policy agenda.
The ISSCR, the world’s largest and most influential independent organization dedicated to ...
