Prenatal opioid exposure shows minimal effect on later academic performance4:39 Every 25 minutes in the United States, a baby is diagnosed with neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS), a condition that occurs in newborns who have been exposed to opioids in the womb and develop withdrawal after birth, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Supportive neighborhoods linked to slower cognitive decline in older immigrants4:39 Older Chinese immigrants living in neighborhoods with greater access to community amenities, services and supportive infrastructure experienced slower cognitive decline over time, according to Rutgers Health researchers. Postpartum Medicaid expansion improved coverage but showed limited care changes4:39 The federal policy requiring states to keep Medicaid beneficiaries enrolled during the COVID-19 pandemic extended postpartum Medicaid coverage nationwide and sharply increased the number of individuals remaining insured after childbirth, according to a Rutgers Health researcher. Prostate cancer patients recover faster with TULSA than robotic surgery4:08 A new randomized clinical trial found that men with localized, intermediate‑risk prostate cancer recovered faster and experienced less short‑term impact on their daily lives when treated with MRI‑guided, transurethral ultrasound ablation (TULSA) compared with robotic prostate surgery. How next-generation proteomics is decoding the language of life4:08 This review examines how next-generation protein sequencing and analysis technologies are expanding proteomics beyond the limits of mass spectrometry, especially for detecting proteoforms and analyzing proteins at single-molecule resolution. It highlights maturing fluorescence-based and nanopore-based platforms that could complement existing methods and deepen insight into protein sequence, struc… Vaping may raise cognitive impairment risk in young adults, study finds3:36 A cross-sectional study of 232 young adults in Bangkok found that e-cigarette users were more likely than non-smokers to screen as at risk for cognitive impairment on the MoCA, while no significant differences were seen for ADHD symptom tendency or emotional intelligence. The authors say the findings raise neurocognitive concerns but do not prove causation, and they call for longitudinal research… Beetroot supplement raises nitric oxide markers in triathletes after one week3:05 A randomized cross-over pilot study in 10 amateur male triathletes found that a beetroot-based multi-ingredient nitrate supplement increased nitric oxide-related and redox biomarkers over 7 days without evidence of lipid oxidative damage. The supplement was generally well tolerated, but the study did not measure whether these biochemical changes improved performance or recovery. Study shows why an apple a day may work differently for different people2:33 A 12-week single-blind trial in 38 Japanese adults found that daily Fuji apple intake did not significantly change overall host metabolic markers, but responses differed by baseline gut enterotype. Participants in the Bacteroidaceae-dominant enterotype showed significant increases in fecal short-chain fatty acids after apple consumption, suggesting that gut microbiota structure may shape function… Parents’ intake of sugar substitutes may influence offspring gut biology, study finds2:01 A mouse study in Frontiers in Nutrition found that parental sucralose and stevia intake altered gut microbiota, short-chain fatty acids, and gene expression across generations, with sucralose showing the stronger and more persistent effects. The changes were transmitted to offspring not directly exposed to the sweeteners, although several effects were attenuated by the F2 generation. Scientists use whole exome sequencing to discover a new rare genetic disease22:18 Scientists at Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute and an international team of collaborators used a genetic sequencing technique called whole exome sequencing to discover a new rare genetic disease. |
