Could preventing mini-strokes help lower dementia risk? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A transient ischemic attack, or mini-stroke, occurs when blood flow to part of the brain becomes temporarily blocked, which causes stroke-like symptoms. Even though symptoms typically clear up fairly quickly, a mini-stroke is still a medical emergency as it can precede having a stroke. The authors of a new study published in Neurology, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology, note that most research on post-mini-stroke care mainly focuses on stroke prevention, so they wanted to
Lung cancer: Drug approved by FDA for pancreatic cancer may help (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common type of lung cancer, and about 30% of people with this form of cancer have RAS mutations. In a phase 1-2 clinical trial, researchers found that daraxonrasib, an oral drug designed to block active RAS proteins that help cancer cells grow, could help people with NSCLC. While the results are promising, the study was small and did not compare daraxonrasib directly with another treatment. The study is published in the New England Journal of Medici
Prostate cancer: Plant fats linked to better overall survival (opens the original)
Read excerpt
With 5-year relative survival rates exceeding 99% for localized and regional prostate cancer, survivorship care must also address cardiovascular disease and cancers other than prostate cancer. Researchers at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health examined the relationship between dietary fat intake after a nonmetastatic prostate cancer diagnosis and the risk of death from different causes. The researchers found that replacing animal and saturated fats with plant-based and unsaturated fats
Type 2 diabetes: More women than men develop depression, anxiety (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Receiving a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes may involve more than requiring close management of blood sugar levels. People with the disease often face an increased risk of comorbidities, such as heart disease, kidney disease, or anxiety. However, these conditions may not develop in the same way for everyone. In a new study, researchers examined whether men and women experienced different health patterns following a type 2 diabetes diagnosis and how those patterns varied by age. The study authors be
Cervical cancer: Higher antioxidant intake linked to 56% lower odds (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Cervical cancer, which is primarily caused by persistent infection with high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV), is a significant global health concern. Cervical cancer is less common in the U.S., but is one of the most common cancers that affects women worldwide, especially in lower-income countries. A new study examined the relationship between dietary antioxidant intake and cervical cancer and found that higher antioxidant intake was associated with a lower prevalence of the disease. The study w
