(Press-News.org) About The Study: The results of this study of World Trade Center (WTC) responders suggests that, when compared with the lowest reported exposure levels, a higher level of reported exposure to more particulate dust or debris was significantly associated with an increased incidence of lung cancer. Future studies may investigate specific WTC exposures and histologic changes and clarify the role of WTC exposure for prognosis.

Streamlining the consciousness debate, from trees to hermit crabs
2025-10-09
Beyond spirited dinner party debate, establishing which creatures have consciousness matters in terms of animal welfare and conservation policy. A Michigan State University philosophy scholar has added clarity to a messy philosophical debate.
In this month’s journal Biology & Philosophy, PhD candidate Jonah Branding contributes a decision tree that can be applied to questions such as, do fish feel pain when they’re on a hook? Does an ant feel alarm when protecting its colony? Do banana slugs feel anything when they eat dead leaves on the forest floor? Or are these simpler organisms more like stimulus-response machines, which don’t have any mental experience?

Polyherbal dietary supplement MD-1 ameliorates severity of type 2 diabetes mellitus in high-fat diet-fed C57BL/6J mice by attenuating adipose tissue inflammation
2025-10-09
Background and objectives
MD-1 is a time-tested polyherbal diabetes supplement in Tamil Nadu, India. It is composed of dried powdered herbs: Phyllanthus amarus Schum. & Thonn, Tinospora cordifolia (Willd.) Miers ex Hook. F. & Thoms, Emblica officinalis Gaertn., Eugenia jambolana Lam., Gymnema sylvestre R. Br. Ex, and Cassia auriculata Linn. This study aimed to investigate the in vivo effects of MD-1 in high-fat diet (HFD)-induced diabetes mellitus in C57BL/6J mice.
Methods
After 10 weeks of HFD induction, diabetic mice (n = 60) ...
Long-term continuous monitoring of new-onset atrial fibrillation after coronary artery bypass grafting
2025-10-09
About The Study: Although the incidence of new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in this study was higher than previously reported, the AF burden in these patients was very low, especially after 30 days. The very low AF burden questions the current guideline recommendations that long-term oral anticoagulation should be considered in patients with new-onset AF after CABG.

Emergency Medicaid spending for undocumented immigrants in the US
2025-10-09
About The Study: In this nationwide analysis, emergency Medicaid accounted for only a small fraction of total Medicaid expenditures. Although states with larger undocumented populations spent approximately 15 times more per capita, emergency Medicaid still constituted less than 1% of overall Medicaid spending even in states with large undocumented populations, posing a limited fiscal burden on Medicaid. These results suggest that cuts to emergency Medicaid will produce minimal overall cost savings and will disproportionately harm states with large undocumented populations.

BfR Consumer Monitor: Not many people are concerned about raw milk
2025-10-09
What it's about:
Raw milk (untreated milk) enjoys a certain popularity, but poses health risks. To avoid food poisoning, it should be boiled before drinking. But how well is raw milk actually known among the population? How do people perceive its health risk? Two-thirds of those surveyed had already heard of raw milk. Only ten percent expressed concern, making raw milk the topic of least concern of the risks surveyed. This is according to the BfR Consumer Monitor, a regularly conducted representative survey by the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR). “The health risks of raw milk ...
Lifelong companionship protects aging rat brains from cognitive decline
2025-10-09
“This study was designed to investigate the effect of long-term social housing on cognitive decline and neuron ensemble activity dynamics in old age.”
BUFFALO, NY — October 9, 2025 — A new research paper was published in Volume 17, Issue 9 of Aging-US on August 22, 2025, titled, “The impact of long-term social housing on biconditional association task performance and neuron ensembles in the anterior cingulate cortex and the hippocampal CA3 region of aged rats.”
The research team led by Anne M. Dankert from Providence College and University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, ...
Discovery of binary stars the first step in creating "movie of the universe"
2025-10-09
A world-first discovery of binary stars could be the first step in building a more complete picture of how our galaxy formed, according to astronomers from The Australian National University (ANU).
The discovery is part of an ambitious 10-year program to scan the entire southern sky every few nights.
The study's lead author, ANU researcher Dr Giacomo Cordoni, said the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) will build an extraordinary “movie of the universe".
“This survey—run from ...
Diabetic teens with high blood sugar have higher neuropathy risk in adulthood
2025-10-09
Poor blood sugar control in adolescence increases the risk of painful future complications for people with type 1 diabetes, research co-led by University of Michigan suggests.
The study, which followed participants for over 30 years, highlights how children diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at a young age have trouble controlling their blood sugar as teens.
Investigators found that children who had poor glycemic control — meaning, higher-than-average blood sugar levels — during adolescence were ...
GLP-1s show promise in treating alcohol and drug addiction
2025-10-09
WASHINGTON—A popular class of therapies for treating diabetes and obesity may also have the potential to treat alcohol and drug addiction, according to a new paper published in the Journal of the Endocrine Society.
The therapies, known as Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists (GLP-1RAs), present an encouraging approach to treating alcohol and other substance use disorders.
“Early research in both animals and humans suggests that these treatments may help reduce alcohol and other substance use,” ...
