Heavy coffee drinkers had less body fat and more muscle at the same BMI, a Finnish study of 2,264 adults found. It cannot say coffee is why

University of Oulu researchers tracking a 1966 birth cohort found people who drank more coffee carried less total and visceral fat, more skeletal muscle, and a distinct hormone profile, but the study is observational and proves nothing about cause

Nearly 8 in 10 people in their 20s already showed the warning signs of heart trouble, and some had early artery damage

A new study found most young adults, average age 23, already met the definition of cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic syndrome, and the ones furthest along had early signs of artery injury

For 20 years women were told hormone therapy might harm the brain. A Stanford autopsy study just found the opposite, with a catch.

A Stanford study of autopsied brains links estrogen-only menopausal hormone therapy to fewer Alzheimer's hallmarks, but only one specific formulation, and only as an association

A 150-year-old heart drug that costs 10 cents a day kept patients out of hospital. The catch is in the fine print.

Dutch researchers say low-dose digoxin cut heart-failure hospital admissions by about a quarter, but the headline trial missed its own main target

Gene therapy is sold as a one-shot cure. Your immune system didn't get the memo

The same defenses that fight off a cold can blunt a gene therapy, damage the tissue it treats, and quietly block you from ever getting a second dose

Inflammation and memory loss, what the 10-year study really found

Blood tests link inflammation to faster memory decline, but the effect is small and doesn't prove causation

A new review says neurocritical care is advancing fast. It forgets to show the numbers

The paper tours shiny ICU gadgets and tighter treatment targets, but never says whether any of them help patients live longer or recover better

More seniors are having major surgery than ever. The care guidelines give a roadmap, but the gaps still fall on the patient

Surgical volume in adults over 70 has climbed for two decades, and older patients face higher odds of heart trouble, blood clots, and post-operative delirium than the headlines admit

A sweeping review says most adults eat more protein than they need. The anti-aging payoff is real, but mostly proven in mice

A University of Wisconsin-Madison review of more than 350 studies argues that lower protein intake improves metabolism and may slow aging, while stressing the strongest lifespan evidence still comes from animals, not people

Dirtier city air in a baby's first year tracked with more infections. It's a strong signal, not proof yet

A Rome infant cohort links particle and traffic pollution to more respiratory infections and wheezing, but this is preliminary conference data, not a peer-reviewed causal finding

New textbook tackles anesthesia's final frontier, the lung

As lung biopsies and airway stents surge, a first-of-its-kind guide warns that one size does not fit all

Arginase 1 enzyme shields the eye from stroke-like damage, but drug delivery hurdles remain

A 2018 mouse study finds the enzyme Arginase 1 calms immune cells after retinal injury, preserving vision cells; direct injection helps but is not yet a human therapy.
