Researchers found that a Mediterranean diet with reduced energy intake significantly reduced environmental impacts, such as acidification, eutrophication, and land use, in individuals with metabolic syndrome. Caloric reduction and diet adherence were key factors mediating these benefits.

Researchers found that a ketogenic diet significantly improves both metabolic and psychiatric health in individuals with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, with notable reductions in weight, waist circumference, and mental illness severity.

Researchers reviewed the potential therapeutic effects of phytochemicals on the gut-brain axis, finding they could influence brain function and reduce neurological symptoms by modulating gut microbiota.

Researchers found that while both antidepressants and group running therapy effectively improved mental health in patients with anxiety and depression, running therapy had significantly better outcomes for physical health indicators.

Researchers found that cannabis use during adolescence significantly increases the risk of developing psychotic disorders, but this risk is not significant during young adulthood.

Researchers adapted a strain of human body lice to study their infection dynamics with Yersinia pestis, finding that lice can become infected and transmit the plague bacterium.

Researchers found that semaglutide treatment for weight loss in non-diabetic, obese men is associated with an increased risk of erectile dysfunction and testosterone deficiency.

Researchers found that upward socioeconomic status transitions throughout life reduce the risk of dementia and increase dementia-free periods, while downward transitions increase dementia risk.

Researchers analyzed nationwide data from Germany to evaluate trends and outcomes in hospitalized cases of high- and low-flow priapism, finding increased hospitalizations for ischemic priapism and reduced cases linked to sickle cell disease.

Researchers found that healthy plant-based diets reduce the risk of gout, while unhealthy plant-based diets increase the risk, especially among women.

Researchers investigated the diversity of Gardnerella species in the vaginal microbiomes of pregnant women, finding an association between higher Gardnerella richness and increased risk of preterm delivery.

Researchers found that emergent phenomena (EP) from practices like meditation and mindfulness are common and can lead to both positive and negative outcomes, highlighting the need for better clinical support.

A team of experts in multiple sclerosis (MS) research recommends a structured approach to the study of mechanisms of exercise training for improving outcomes for multiple sclerosis (MS).

Schizophrenia is a complex disease with variable presentations, and the diverse nature of this mental health disorder has made understanding the mechanisms that cause the disease, and subsequently developing effective treatments, especially challenging.

The Epstein-Barr virus can cause a spectrum of diseases, including a range of cancers.

The prevalence of Portal Vein Thrombosis (PVT) varies significantly at different stages of liver disease: 10% in compensated patients, 17% in decompensated patients, 9% in those with acute decompensated cirrhosis, and 2-26% in post-liver transplant patients.

Working under the umbrella of the PsychENCODE Consortium, the mental health research project established in 2015 by the National Institutes of Health, a team of Mount Sinai scientists has uncovered important new insights into the molecular biology of neuropsychiatric disease through two new studies published in a special issue of Science on Friday, May 24.

A consortium of researchers has produced the largest and most advanced multidimensional maps of gene regulation networks in the brains of people with and without mental disorders.

Researchers from the University of Oxford have developed a new small molecule that can suppress the evolution of antibiotic resistance in bacteria and make resistant bacteria more susceptible to antibiotics.

The DRIVE-RM consortium, led by Professor of Experimental Nephrology Marianne Verhaar from UMC Utrecht, has been awarded €37.5 million under the prestigious NWO SUMMIT program.
