سلام! چند خبر پژوهشی درباره سلامت رو مرور می‌کنیم. این خبرها توصیهٔ پزشکی شخصی نیستن. بریم سراغ تازه‌های سلامتی. کمیسیون اروپا TikTok را به نقض قوانین سلامت روان کاربران متهم کرد. کمیسیون اروپا با صدور یک حکم اولیه، TikTok را متهم کرده که الگوریتم‌هایش با ترویج محتوای آسیب‌زا، سلامت روان کاربران جوان و آسیب‌پذیر را به خطر می‌اندازد. چالش جدید در درمان بیماری‌های قلبی؛ آیا اسکن کلسیم جایگزین روش‌های سنتی می‌شود. یک مطالعه بالینی جدید با بررسی حدود ۵۸۰۰ نفر نشان می‌دهد که استفاده از اسکن‌های کلسیم قلب برای تعیین نیاز به داروی استاتین، نتایج مشابهی با روش‌های ارزیابی سنتی دارد، در حالی که تعداد بسیار کمتری از افراد به مصرف این دارو توصیه شده‌اند. لبنیات پرچرب دیگر دشمن سلامتی نیست؛ یافته‌های تازه باورهای قدیمی را به چالش کشید. نتایج یک مطالعه جدید در دانشگاه تورنتو نشان می‌دهد که مصرف روزانه سه وعده لبنیات پرچرب، برخلاف باورهای رایج دهه‌های گذشته، تأثیر منفی بر وزن، کلسترول یا مقاومت به انسولین ندارد. برای جزئیات بیشتر، لینک خبرها زیر همین پخش‌کننده هست. ممنون که همراه ما بودین!
EU charges TikTok with failing to protect users’ mental health
Regulator’s initial ruling says algorithm ‘can be harmful’ and led young and vulnerable viewers ‘down rabbit holes they can’t easily escape’ Business live – latest updates TikTok has been charged by the European Commission with failing to protect users’ mental health by exposing them to a relentless stream of content that risks worsening eating disorders and anxiety in a case that strikes at its business model…
Major trial challenges how doctors decide who really needs statins
A study of nearly 5,800 adults found that heart scans measuring calcium buildup in the arteries led to the same observed rate of major cardiovascular events as traditional risk assessments, despite recommending statins to far fewer patients. Surprisingly, patients advised to take statins based on their scans were nearly three times as likely to stick with their medication, raising intriguing questions about how…
For decades, we were told to avoid full-fat dairy. New research says otherwise
Full-fat dairy may not be the health villain it has long been portrayed as, according to a new study finding that three daily servings did not worsen weight, cholesterol, or insulin resistance over 12 weeks. Researchers also observed improvements in blood pressure and nutrient intake, raising questions about longstanding recommendations to choose low-fat dairy.
Scientists solve 30-year-old mystery and discover a hidden defense against inflammation
Scientists have solved a decades-old mystery and uncovered a hidden immune system defense that protects healthy cells from the very inflammation meant to fight infections. The surprising discovery could lead to new approaches for treating cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, and other conditions involving excessive inflammation.
A surprising discovery could help aging muscles repair themselves
Scientists have discovered a compound that transforms a natural muscle-repair protein into a more powerful version dubbed "Super HGF," more than doubling its ability to bind to a key receptor while protecting it from age-related chemical damage. The breakthrough, supported by early mouse experiments, could eventually help combat muscle loss and preserve strength as people age.
Scientists turn viruses into weapons against deadly superbugs
Scientists are advancing a promising new way to fight antibiotic-resistant infections by using viruses that specifically target and kill harmful bacteria. An international team has released the first coordinated guidelines for personalized phage therapy, offering a roadmap for safely bringing this experimental treatment into clinical practice. Early findings are encouraging, with one study reporting improvement in…
