New research presented at the European Congress on Obesity (ECO 2026) in Istanbul, Turkey (12–15 May) and published in The Lancet shows that people who have lost weight using the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of tirzepatide ...
Medical Xpress / Everyday air pollution linked to poorer brain function, study finds
The air pollution we breathe daily could be harming more than just our lungs and hearts. New research from McMaster University suggests that fine particles from traffic, industry, and wildfire smoke are linked to worse cognitive ...
Medical Xpress / Patients with congenital heart defects are more likely to suffer a heart attack at an earlier age
Patients born with heart defects experience their first acute heart attack at a significantly earlier age than others. This is shown by a new national study from Lund University in Sweden. However, despite this earlier onset ...
Medical Xpress / Study finds major gap in pain diagnosis
Millions of Americans experience pain severe enough to interfere with daily life but never receive a medical diagnosis, according to a new study from The University of Texas at Arlington. Feinuo Sun, assistant professor of ...
Medical Xpress / Most weight loss achieved using injectable obesity drugs can be maintained by switching to orforglipron, study shows
New research presented at the European Congress on Obesity (ECO2026) in Istanbul, Turkey (12–15 May) and published in Nature Medicine shows that most weight loss achieved using the injectable obesity drugs tirzepatide or ...
Tech Xplore / End-of-life batteries yield next-generation cathode under mild conditions, with 95% reuse
Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) researchers, in collaboration with scientists at Argonne National Laboratory, have developed a new strategy to transform low-value battery waste into a next-generation cathode material ...
Phys.org / Giving X-ray vision a sense of direction
Whether in tooth enamel or in nanomaterials made of silicon, the orientation of tiny internal structures often determines the properties of a material. A new X-ray method can even make this nano-order visible when the structures ...
Phys.org / Gentle, laser-driven flows enable precise 3D imaging of delicate samples
Until now, it has been technically nearly impossible to rotate highly sensitive samples in all directions under a microscope without making contact. Researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) have developed ...
Medical Xpress / Teen depression linked with higher substance use rates
Nearly 1 in 5 U.S. adolescents experienced depression between 2021 and 2023, and those teens were significantly more likely to use substances such as alcohol, marijuana and opioids, according to a new national study.
