ADHD and Early Death: What a 15.9-Million-Person Study Found, and Why Treatment Matters
Most people think of ADHD as a focus problem. A kid who can’t sit still in class. An adult who loses their keys three times a week. Annoying, sure, but not dangerous. A large new review says we need to take it more seriously than that. Researchers in the UK pooled data from 19…

The 92-Year-Old Who Skipped Sunscreen on Her Neck, and What It Did to Her Skin
A photo of a 92-year-old woman has been making the rounds, and it shows something I try to explain to patients every summer. The image appeared in a 2021 commentary in the Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology. According to the report, she used a…

Two Infusions, Zero Tumors: How an Upgraded CAR T Therapy Cleared a Toddler’s Liver Cancer
A 3-year-old boy in Texas had run out of standard options. His liver cancer had spread to his lungs and come back after chemotherapy and three surgeries. Then he got two infusions of an experimental immune cell therapy. Twelve months later, doctors can’t find any cancer in his…

Gene Therapy Helped Adult Retinas Repair Damaged Wiring in New Study
For a long time, the accepted view was that the retina’s nerve wiring is set in childhood and that adult nerve cells can be protected but not rebuilt. A new study from Michigan State University challenges that view. With a single dose of gene therapy, researchers restored vision…

Can Creatine Protect Your Brain From an Inflamed Gut?
Creatine has spent decades as a gym supplement. You scoop it into a shake, you lift heavier, you move on. But researchers keep finding reasons to study creatine for parts of the body that have nothing to do with biceps. The brain tops that list. A new study from the University…

There’s a Surprisingly Simple Way to Remove Microplastics in Your Drinking Water
You probably drank some plastic today. Not on purpose, and not in pieces you could see. Microplastics and nanoplastics have now been found in human placentas, bones, and brain tissue, and a big share of them gets in through what we eat and drink. Tap water is one of those…

New Experimental Drug Targets Dangerous Belly Fat by Killing Fat Cells
Here’s something most of my patients don’t know: when you lose weight, your fat cells don’t go away. They just get smaller, and they’re ready to fill back up the moment your habits slip. That’s a big reason so many people regain weight after a diet or after stopping a GLP-1…

New Celiac Drug Limits Gut Damage After Gluten Exposure, Trial Finds
If you have celiac disease, one slip with gluten can damage your gut, and a strict gluten-free diet is still the only treatment available. Even careful patients get caught out, and symptoms persist in up to 40 percent of people on the diet. That is why a new phase 2 trial is…

New Injection Targets Belly Fat by Destroying Fat Cells, Early Trials Show
GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy help many people lose weight, but keeping it off after stopping the medication is hard. An experimental injection called CBL-514 takes a different approach. Instead of shrinking fat cells, it makes them die off on their own. In early human…

Breathwork Can Change Your State of Mind — A New Brain Scan Study Shows How
You probably haven’t thought about your breathing today, but how you breathe affects your stress, your focus, and your brain. Breathwork, which means breathing exercises meant to shift your mental and emotional state, is gaining ground in therapy for stress and mental health.…

40Hz Light and Sound Therapy for Alzheimer’s: What the Science Shows So Far
Picture an Alzheimer’s treatment with no pills, no infusions, and no surgery, just an hour a day of light flickering and sound pulsing 40 times per second. It sounds too simple to work, yet it has reached phase III clinical testing. The need is real. Newer drugs clear amyloid…

Olive Oil Before Carbs Lowered Blood Sugar Spikes in Mice, Study Finds
Two groups of mice received the same amount of olive oil and the same amount of glucose. Only one group had a smaller blood sugar spike, and the difference was which one came first. The response behind it was not what you’d expect, since it involved glucagon, a hormone known for…

Yale Researchers Test an Epilepsy Drug for Osteoarthritis Pain and Cartilage Loss
A drug used to prevent seizures may one day help people with aching joints. Researchers at Yale tested lacosamide, an epilepsy medication, in early experiments on osteoarthritis. It eased pain and helped protect cartilage at the same time. It does this by acting on a single…

New Research Offers Hope for Retinal Disease by Targeting a Protein That Blocks Repair
If you lose retinal cells to disease, they stay lost. That rule is why conditions like retinitis pigmentosa and glaucoma are so hard to treat. Zebrafish don’t follow it. They regrow damaged retinal neurons using support cells called Müller glia, and mammals have the same cells.…

Researchers Question Whether Alzheimer’s Proteins Can Spread Through Donated Blood
Few things in medicine are as routine, or as life-saving, as a blood transfusion. Patients receive them after accidents, during surgery, and through cancer treatment, and most never give it a second thought. Now a group of researchers is asking whether donated blood could carry…

Can Your Heart Grow Its Own Bypass After a Heart Attack?
A heart attack seems like a one-way event: a blockage, injured muscle, and damage that stays. Yet the heart has a built-in repair system, and scientists thought they knew how it worked. A new study says they had the source wrong. The same research team then found a way to…
