Revised Obesity Definition Emphasizes Body Fat Impact, Not Just BMI
A new definition of obesity, published in The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology, proposes using BMI as an initial screen, but factors in waist circumference and other measures of body fat to assess how excess fat affects the body, potentially shifting clinical care for 890 million adults worldwide.

Long COVID Risk Higher in Women; SARS-CoV-2 Link to ME/CFS Found
Two studies using data from the NIH's RECOVER initiative found women have a 31% higher risk of long COVID than men, particularly those aged 40-54 and 55+, and that 4.5% of those infected with SARS-CoV-2 developed ME/CFS, versus 0.6% of uninfected individuals.

HPV Vaccine Shows Promise in Eliminating Cervical Precancer
A Dutch trial found that an HPV vaccine (Vvax001) eliminated high-risk cervical precancerous cells (CIN3) in half of 18 participants, potentially replacing the invasive loop excision surgery; after 19 weeks, nine saw their cells shrink or vanish, with three cases showing complete destruction, and no...

Giant Iceberg Threatens South Georgia Wildlife
The world's largest iceberg, A23a (3,500 sq km), is drifting toward South Georgia, potentially grounding within 2-4 weeks and endangering penguin and seal populations already affected by bird flu; its eventual melting will release nutrients, impacting marine life and carbon absorption.

Ancient Dinosaur Fossils May Lie Hidden in the Amazon
A study suggests that the oldest dinosaur fossils may be undiscovered in the Amazon and other equatorial regions of Gondwana, millions of years older than the current oldest known fossils, pushing back their origin to a warmer, drier environment.
