Obesity may be associated with lower treatment response to biologic therapies for psoriasis, particularly interleukin (IL)-17 and IL-12/23 inhibitors, suggesting that BMI should be considered when selecting biologic therapy and counseling patients, according to results of a study published in the Journal of Dermatological Treatment

1 medications used to treat type 2 diabetes and obesity are associated with an increased risk of hair loss – especially non-scarring alopecia – in adults with type 2 diabetes, a new study has found

GREATER maternal adherence to the EAT-Lancet diet was associated with increased infant head circumference during the first months of life, according to a new study. In contrast, researchers found no significant associations between plant-based dietary indices and infant growth measures

Binge eating disorder (BED) is characterized by repeated episodes of binge eating accompanied by a loss of control. Although the neurobiological underpinnings of binge eating (BE) episodes are not fully understood, there are indications that variability in nucleus accumbens (NAcc) responses could lead to increased variability in food intake. Here, we assessed whether BED is…

Childhood growth is crucial for long-term overall health and well-being. Diet quality is an essential component of nutritional status reflecting dietary patterns and nutrient intake. While research in adults has shown that higher diet quality is associated with a lower risk of obesity, its association with childhood growth has remained unclear. This study aims to…

From his wheelchair, 71-year-old Ken Sternfeld spends several hours a week building his strength with the help of an aide

Heatwaves are increasing in frequency and intensity, yet their impacts on hospitalizations for mental and behavioural disorders remain insufficiently quantified across countries. Here we show, using a time-stratified case-crossover analysis of 2,618,307 warm-season hospitalization records from 852 locations in Brazil, Canada, Chile and New Zealand from 2000 to 2019, that sustained extreme heat was associated…

Hypoxia has emerged as an unexpected therapy for some mitochondrial diseases. Garg et al. now extend this concept beyond primary respiratory chain mutations, showing that reducing oxygen tension can rescue a disease of mitochondrial protein quality control linked to the HTRA2–CLPB axis
