Researchers Develop AI Model That Predicts Disease Risk From Sleep Data
The AI system, described in a paper in the journal Nature Medicine, was initially tested on standard tasks involving sleep analysis, such as tracking different stages of sleep or diagnosing severity of sleep apnoea.

Intermittent Fasting Does Not Improve Metabolic Health Without Calorie Reduction, Finds Study
The researchers didn't find any metabolic changes, however, the timing of meals did affect circadian rhythms.

Insomnia And Anxiety Linked To Weaker Immune System, Says New Study
Insomnia or anxiety could be linked to fewer number of immune cells, potentially resulting in a less effective immune system, a study in young women has found.

Viruses On Plastics May Fuel Antibiotic Resistance, Warn Researchers
Plastics entering natural environments quickly become coated with microbial biofilms called the 'plastisphere', known to be hotspots for antibiotic resistance genes, the team, including researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Physical Activity May Temporarily Trigger Back Pain Flare-Ups Without Lasting Damage: Study
More time spent on activities such as lifting, pushing or pulling, bending, twisting, and crawling was linked to a higher risk of temporarily flare-ups of lower back pain, while sitting was associated with a lower risk of back pain flare-ups.

Alzheimer's Immune Response Higher In Females' Brain Than In Males, Finds New Study
In a joint study by researchers at the University of Rochester, US, and Indian researchers found that immune cells in the brain act differently in male and female mice with Alzheimer's disease.

Minoxidil Use By Mothers May Pose Health Risks To Infants, Says New Analysis
Researchers from the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare and All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi, analysed 2,664 cases of minoxidil-suspected infantile hypertrichosis from around the world.

Magnetic Control of Lithium Enables Safer, High-Capacity “Dream Battery” Without Explosion Risk
POSTECH researchers have developed a “dream battery” using magnetic control of lithium to prevent dendrite formation. The hybrid anode stores lithium safely, offers four times the capacity of graphite, and sustains stable cycling, creating a safer high-energy solution for EVs and energy storage.

Non-Vegetarian Diet, Poor Sleep, Obesity Can Increase Breast Cancer Risks: ICMR Study
Non-vegetarian diet, poor sleep and obesity have been associated with increased risk of breast cancer which is expected to rise by about 5.6 per cent annually leading to an estimated increase of 0.05 million new cases per year.

Uterine Fibroids Linked to 81% Higher Heart Disease Risk, Finds New Study
The study which was based on earlier research found that women who suffered from uterine fibroids may have an increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease.

ICMR Research Reveals Major Breast Cancer Risks In Indian Female Population
A new study conducted by scientists at the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) has decoded the specific risk factors for breast cancer among women in India.

New Study Reveals That Fixing Body Clock Rhythms In Mice Can Reduce Cancer Risk
A new study in mice by Author Jeremy Borniger, assistant professor at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, has shown that cancer could disrupt the body's corticosterone-circulating rhythm and fixing it led to a significant shrinking of tumours.

Popular Weight-Loss Drugs Like Wegovy Fail To Lower Obesity-Related Cancer Risks, Study Finds
Researchers analysed 48 previously-conducted trials which examined the safety and efficacy of GLP-1 drugs on people with type 2 diabetes, overweight, or obesity. These studies involved a total of more than 94,000 participants.
