Different types of depression linked to different cardiometabolic diseases

2025-10-11

It is known that depression is linked to increased incidence of metabolic diseases; now scientists have discovered that different types of depression are linked to different cardiometabolic diseases. This work is presented at the ECNP Congress in Amsterdam. Over seven years, researchers tracked 5,794 adults, enrolled in the Netherlands Epidemiology of Obesity (NEO) Study, all of whom were free of diabetes and cardiovascular disease at the study’s start. At the start of the study each participant completed a comprehensive questionnaire to assess depressive symptoms. ...

Ketogenic diet may protect against stress experienced in the womb

2025-10-11

Researchers have shown that young rats fed a ketogenic diet – a diet with high fat and low carbohydrates – are protected from the lasting experience of pre-natal stress. This work, which needs to be confirmed in humans, is presented at the ECNP conference in Amsterdam An extensive body of research has shown that if mothers experience stress while pregnant, the offspring can suffer ongoing psychological and development-related conditions. Now a group of Italian researchers have shown that the biological changes induced by a ketogenic diet may help them to escape from the long-lasting effects of stress experienced in the womb. The pregnant rats ...

Adults 65 years and older not immune to the opioid epidemic, new study finds

2025-10-11

SAN ANTONIO — Overdose deaths in adults age 65 and older from fentanyl mixed with stimulants, such as cocaine and methamphetamines, have surged 9,000% in the past eight years, matching rates found among younger adults, according to research presented at the ANESTHESIOLOGY® 2025 annual meeting. The study is among the first to use Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data to show that older adults, a group often overlooked in overdose research, are part of the broader rise in fentanyl-stimulant overdose deaths. Adults 65 years and older are especially vulnerable to overdoses because many live with chronic health conditions, take several ...

Artificial intelligence emerging as powerful patient safety tool in pediatric anesthesia

2025-10-11

SAN ANTONIO — Artificial intelligence (AI) could soon help anesthesiologists keep children safer in the operating room and improve their recovery with better pain management, suggests a systematic review presented at the ANESTHESIOLOGY® 2025 annual meeting. Providing anesthesia care for children is especially challenging because their anatomy can vary dramatically, even among patients of the same age. The researchers found AI performed better than standard methods for determining the appropriate size and placement of breathing tubes, monitoring oxygen levels and assessing postoperative pain. AI consistently: improved the ...

Mother’s ZIP code, lack of access to prenatal care can negatively impact baby’s health at birth, new studies show

2025-10-11

SAN ANTONIO — Babies born to mothers who live in rural areas or who don’t receive prenatal care may face higher risks of health complications at birth, suggests research presented at the ANESTHESIOLOGY® 2025 annual meeting. “Recent closures of medical centers in rural Georgia and other rural areas around the country have created health care deserts that may impact the care of mothers and their newborns,” said Bibiana Avella Molano, M.D., lead author of the study and a third-year anesthesiology resident at Augusta University, Georgia. “Our research highlights how limited access ...

Dr. Zerwas is chancellor of The University of Texas (UT) System in Austin, Texas, leading a system of public higher education, composed ...

A centimeter-scale quadruped piezoelectric robot with high integration and strong robustness

2025-10-11

Centimeter-scale robots have unique advances such as small size, light weight, and flexible motions, which exhibit great application potential in many fields. Notably, high integration and robustness are 2 key factors determining the locomotion characteristics and practical applications. “Although they have achieved certain advancements in miniaturization and motion performance, the presence of electromagnetic motors and transmission mechanisms prevents further miniaturization. There are still issues such as electromagnetic interference and wear of the transmission components.” stated ...

Study confirms that people with ADHD can be more creative. The reason may be that they let their mind wander

2025-10-10

New research confirms that ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) can be linked to increased creativity and suggests that this creativity is associated with a greater tendency to let your mind wander. This first study to explain the link between ADHD and creativity, is presented at the ECNP congress in Amsterdam. Lead researcher Han Fang (from the Radboud University Medical Centre, the Netherlands) said: “Previous research pointed to mind wandering as a possible factor linking ADHD and creativity, but until now no study has directly examined ...

Research gives insight into effect of neurodegenerative diseases on speech rhythm

2025-10-10

LAWRENCE – Speech rhythm, a key attribute of natural languages that directly influences the effectiveness and efficiency of communication, is often compromised in people with neurodegenerative diseases such as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, or ALS. Trying to speak more slowly than normal appears to be an effective strategy for most people with ALS to improve rhythm control and, consequently, make their speech more understandable to others. This is one of the findings of a new paper published by two researchers in the University of Kansas Speech-Language-Hearing: Sciences & Disorders Department. The ultimate goal of the research ...
