Mediterranean diet cuts environmental impact and improves metabolic health, study finds

In a recent study published in the journal Science of the Total Environment, researchers investigated the environmental impact of a Mediterranean diet with reduced energy intake over one year in participants with metabolic syndrome. Their results indicate that the intervention was linked to significant reductions in acidification, eutrophication, and land use, with diet adherence and […]

Innovative malaria prodrug targets liver, enhances efficacy while reducing toxicity, preclinical studies show

With malaria still posing a constant and often deadly threat to billions worldwide, new therapies are urgently required to combat the infection. This is made more difficult by the multiple stages of the parasite’s lifecycle. A new report in Scientific Advances reports on tafenoquine, a prodrug that could fulfill the criteria for a mass eradication […]

Innovative approaches needed to overcome health system barriers in malaria vaccination

In a review published in BMC Medicine, researchers examined the current literature to investigate malaria vaccination’s challenges in reaching high-risk children and discussed the policy implications. They identified health system-related risks that could hinder malaria vaccine effectiveness and proposed solutions to ensure equitable and universal protection against the disease. Study: Malaria vaccination: hurdles to reach high-risk […]

Closing the Cancer Care Gap with the Power of Precision Oncology

According to American Cancer Society, Cancer causes about 1 in every 6 deaths globally, more than AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria combined. Today, it is the first or second leading cause of death in most countries around the world. Technological advances in genomics have enabled the identification and improved understanding of causal factors and shed light […]

A global health problem with wide disparities

Anemia affected nearly 2 billion people in 2021, impacting women to a greater degree than men. In a new study covering three decades of global anemia data (1990–2021), a complex picture emerges of how several key factors play into the divergence in success stories among men, women, and children. Published today in The Lancet Haematology, […]

Novel noninvasive test for malaria does not require a blood sample

A novel testing platform under development by researchers at the Yale School of Public Health (YSPH) and CytoAstra, LLC could provide a new noninvasive test for malaria that doesn’t require a blood sample. The platform technology, known as cytophone, detects malaria infection in blood cells using lasers and ultrasound. Researchers developing the platform believe it […]
