Mechanisms of #weight loss-induced remission in people with #prediabetes: a post-hoc analysis of the randomised, controlled, multicentre Prediabetes Lifestyle Intervention Study (PLIS)
Background Remission of type 2 diabetes can occur as a result of weight loss and is characterised by liver fat and pancreas fat reduction and recovered insulin secretion. In this analysis, we aimed to investigate the mechanisms of weight loss- induced remission in people with prediabetes.MethodsIn this prespecified post-hoc analysis, weight loss-induced resolution of prediabetes… Continue reading Mechanisms of #weight loss-induced remission in people with #prediabetes: a post-hoc analysis of the randomised, controlled, multicentre Prediabetes Lifestyle Intervention Study (PLIS)
On: Galen
The history of medicine is littered with men, and women, who even today, have an impact on the way we treat and are treated when we are ill. One of these, and one of my favourite, was Galen. A Greek physician who practiced in the 1st Century CE Roman Empire, he studied extensively before moving… Continue reading On: Galen

The modern way of life frequently extols efficiency and the capacity to function with little sleep, yet the negative effects of sleep deprivation are much more severe than most people think. Maintaining physical,… Continue reading Hot Topics: Is sleep deprivation more dangerous than many people realise?
The Importance of Consistent Sleep Habits in Slowing Down the Aging Process
Consistent Sleep Habits Shown to Slow Down Aging Process, Study Finds A recent study conducted by researchers at Augusta University in the United States has revealed the significant impact of maintaining consistent sleep habits on overall health and aging. The findings suggest that a regular sleep routine not only benefits cognitive processes such as thinking… Continue reading The Importance of Consistent Sleep Habits in Slowing Down the Aging Process
Incidence of adverse #cardiovascular events in patients with #insomnia: A systematic review and meta-analysis of real-world data
Insomnia is a prevalent sleeping disorder associated with increasing cardiovascular (CV) mortality and morbidity. However, data incorporating recent clinical studies evaluating these outcomes is scarce. Hence, we aimed to investigate the association of insomnia with CV mortality, myocardial infarction (MI), all-cause mortality, and incidence of CV disease by conducting the first-ever meta-analysis of real-world data… Continue reading Incidence of adverse #cardiovascular events in patients with #insomnia: A systematic review and meta-analysis of real-world data
Effects of chronic #caffeine on patterns of #brain blood flow and behavior throughout the sleep–wake cycle in freely behaving mice
Caffeine has significant effects on neurovascular activity and behavior throughout the sleep–wake cycle. We used a minimally invasive microchip/video system to continuously record effects of caffeine in the drinking water of freely behaving mice. Chronic caffeine shifted both rest and active phases by up to 2 h relative to the light–dark cycle in a dose-dependent fashion.… Continue reading Effects of chronic #caffeine on patterns of #brain blood flow and behavior throughout the sleep–wake cycle in freely behaving mice
Dietary #Carbohydrate and #Fat Intakes and Risk of Mortality in the Japanese Population: the Japan Multi-Institutional Collaborative Cohort Study
BackgroundPrevious cohort studies have yielded contradictory findings regarding the associations of dietary carbohydrate and fat intakes with risks of mortality.ObjectivesWe examined long-term associations of carbohydrate and fat intakes with mortality.MethodsIn this cohort study, 34,893 men and 46,440 women aged 35–69 y (mean body mass index of 23.7 and 22.2 kg/m2, respectively) were followed up from the baseline survey (2004–2014)… Continue reading Dietary #Carbohydrate and #Fat Intakes and Risk of Mortality in the Japanese Population: the Japan Multi-Institutional Collaborative Cohort Study
Detection of high-risk #polyps at screening colonoscopy indicates risk for #liver and #biliary #cancer death
Hepatobiliary cancers share risk factors with colorectal cancer (CRC), but there are no combined screening programs for these conditions.AimsThe aim of this study was to assess whether patients with high-risk colonic polyps are more likely to die from liver related tumors than patients with a negative colonoscopy.MethodsIn this retrospective analysis of mortality data, Austrian screening… Continue reading Detection of high-risk #polyps at screening colonoscopy indicates risk for #liver and #biliary #cancer death
