Diet's Impact on Chronic Pain and Inflammation
Dr. Fred Tabung of Harvard's TH Chan School of Public Health explains that chronic pain is often caused by chronic inflammation, exacerbated by poor diet and micronutrient deficiencies; a balanced diet rich in antioxidants and Omega-3 fatty acids can alleviate the problem.

Study Links Certain Medications to Reduced Dementia Risk
A Cambridge University study analyzing data from over 130 million health records found that use of antibiotics, antivirals, and anti-inflammatory drugs correlated with a lower dementia risk, supporting the "infection hypothesis" of Alzheimer's disease and suggesting potential for repurposing existin...

Obesity Vaccine Shows Promise in Mice, Preventing Weight Gain from Unhealthy Diets
Scientists developed a vaccine using Mycobacterium vaccae bacteria that prevents weight gain in mice fed a high-fat, high-sugar diet; this contrasts with Ozempic's appetite-reducing mechanism.

Air Pollution Exacerbates Inflammation in Heart Failure Patients
A study presented at the American Heart Association's 2024 Scientific Sessions found that air pollution significantly increases inflammation biomarkers (CCL27 and IL-18) in heart failure patients, but not in healthy individuals, highlighting the increased vulnerability of this population during peri...

Itch Neurons Amplify Eczema Inflammation: Study
A US-based study published in Science reveals that itch-specific neurons amplify inflammation in eczema, creating a cycle where scratching worsens the condition. Experiments on allergic mice showed that preventing scratching reduced inflammation, suggesting therapeutic targets for treating the condi...
