Long COVID: How COVID-19 may lead to vicious viral cycle (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When it comes to COVID-19, itâs easy to only focus on the virus that causes it, SARS-CoV-2. But other factors may be at play when it comes to how COVID-19 affects people. A study published in Nature was able to evaluate the reactivation of dormant viruses in people with COVID-19. Researchers found that the reactivation of certain viruses occurred, and their activation was linked to both acute COVID-19 severity and possibly to long COVID as well. Overall, it is possible that the reactivation of
Dementia: How might biological aging speed affect risk? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Aging is unavoidable, but some people age at a faster rate than others. The term biological age refers to the age of someoneâs cells, rather than how long it has been since someone was born, which is their chronological age. A recent study including over 3,000 participants identified long-term risk from accelerated biological aging. For all participants, accelerated biological age was linked to greater risk for death and cardiovascular disease. For women, there was also a higher risk for demen
Dementia: Study links estrogen-only menopausal therapy to lower risk (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Menopause is the complete end of experiencing menstrual periods, and it can increase the risk for certain health problems, such as stroke. A recent study published in Neurology, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology, notes that estrogen levels drop during menopause, and that this could lead to a higher risk for Alzheimerâs disease. This study found that estrogen-only menopausal hormonal therapy was associated with better Alzheimerâs disease and dementia outcomes. In the st
MASLD: Eating tomatoes daily may help lower liver fat buildup (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Metabolic dysfunction-associated liver disease (MASLD) includes a range of liver problems, but a main feature is hepatic steatosis, which is fat buildup in the liver. For a diagnosis of MASLD, people also need to have at least one cardiometabolic risk factor like obesity or high blood pressure. Diet and lifestyle changes can be helpful for people who have MASLD, and experts are interested in also understanding what specific food choices may be most helpful. A study published in Nutrients explore
Could an experimental vaccine help prevent pancreatic cancer? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Pancreatic cancer accounts for 8% of cancer deaths in the United States, and it is challenging to catch pancreatic cancer early. Finding ways to treat and potentially prevent pancreatic cancer is a critical area of research. One study evaluated a peptide vaccine in people who were at a high risk for pancreatic cancer. This vaccine targeted the mutated protein, KRAS, which is found in the most common pancreatic cancer, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). The study, which appears in Cancer Di
