A study led by researchers at Swansea University suggests that dietary patterns may play a role in adolescent mental health and sets out a detailed research roadmap to better understand this relationship.
Using an aging clock, researchers from the University of Cologne have used the Caenorhabditis elegans model organism to demonstrate that nerve cells age differently. They identified both the causes of aging and molecules that keep the nervous system healthy in old age / Publication in ‘Nature Aging’
Sexual dysfunction is a reality for many women, but the subject remains taboo. A large percentage of women remain untreated, a problem that is exacerbated by the shortage of treatment options for female sexual dysfunction. A research team from GAIA in Hamburg, in cooperation with the Institute for Sexual, Psycho- and Trauma Therapy in Munich, the University of Lübeck, and the Medical School Hamburg, has now investigated the digital therapy “mylovia” The results of the randomized controlled trial (RCT) were published today in the peer-reviewed journal npj Digital Medicine and show a statistically significant and clinically relevant effect of mylovia.

A new international study reveals that adults who use disposable and non-disposable e-cigarettes differ in meaningful ways, and that those differences vary between countries. Comparing users in the United States and Israel, researchers found that flavor preferences, perceptions of harm, and purchasing habits strongly influence device choice. The findings suggest that effective e-cigarette regulation must be tailored to local patterns of use rather than relying on a single global approach.
A novel water-based gel, also known as a hydrogel, not only fights bacteria but also calms inflammation, thereby actively supporting wound healing.
The material functions like a net, catching bacteria and then killing them when triggered by a light pulse.
The gel has proven highly effective against the antibiotic-resistant MRSA bacteria in animal models while also accelerating wound healing.
A study led by researchers at the Institute for Research in Biomedicine of Lleida (IRBLleida), the University of Lleida (UdL), the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC) and Arnau de Vilanova University Hospital (HUAV) has developed and internally validated a clinical prediction model called the Goliat score, which can be used by emergency services to estimate the risk of acute complications in patients suffering from minor and moderate traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). The study was recently published in BMC Emergency Medicine.
