Medical research
Researchers in Spain have discovered that articles retracted due to errors, plagiarism, or other issues in the smoking field continue to gain citations over time. The study, published in the Open Respiratory Archives, found that 26.5% of the retracted articles available in the Web of Science database had increased
Amino acids
Researchers have developed a novel approach to treating metabolic disorders by fusing a GLP-1 receptor agonist polypeptide with an antagonist glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor (GIPR) antigen binding protein. This fusion protein has shown promise in reducing body weight, improving insulin sensitivity, and promoting glucose tolerance. According to the patent application,

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
Researchers investigated the relationship between impulsivity, decision-making, and multisensory integration in individuals with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The study involved 44 participants, 13 of whom had ADHD or Disruptive Behaviour Disorders, who completed a two-alternative forced-choice task involving visual and auditory stimuli. The results showed that participants performed similarly across
Cardiac patients
A recent study published in the Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease has found that guidelines issued by the American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology/Heart Failure Society of America have had a significant impact on Medicare drug coverage policies for two life-saving medications used
Genes
Researchers at Minia University have made significant findings in the realm of obesity and diabetes, focusing on the genetic factors underlying metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). The study, published in the Egyptian Liver Journal, investigated the role of cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) gene variants in MASLD susceptibility. The
Diseases
New research published in a recent study has highlighted the complexities of HIV/AIDS, specifically in patients with advanced disease who experience multijoint pathologies, leading to loss of ambulation and independence. A case report published in JBJS Case Connector in 2024 details the story of a 30-year-old man with a
Chronic kidney failure
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients who spend more time being sedentary and less time engaging in moderate to vigorous physical activity are at a higher risk of mortality, according to a new prospective cohort study published in the Journal of Physical Activity and Health. The research, conducted by investigators from
Dementia
Music-based interventions have long been hailed as a potential therapy for people with dementia, with positive effects on mood and wellbeing reported in previous studies. However, the specific benefits of music compared to non-musical activities remain unclear. A recent study, published on osf.io, aimed to isolate the music-specific positive
Antiretroviral agents
Experts in the field of HIV/AIDS research gathered at the Keystone Symposia conference in Durban, South Africa, to discuss novel strategies for eradicating the virus. The conference, held between April 7-10 2025, brought together experts to share their findings on the persistence of HIV reservoirs and the development of
Big data
Research published in European Urology Open Science has highlighted the importance of real-world evidence in guiding treatment decisions for metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). The study, conducted by an international team of researchers, analyzed health records and insurance claims from over 69,000 patients with mHSPC across eight European and
Biochemistry
Research from McGill University has demonstrated that glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) produce modest reductions in blood pressure among individuals with type 2 diabetes and obesity. According to the study, these reductions appear to be driven primarily by weight loss, with additional contributions from potential weight-independent mechanisms such as
