Our bodies are powered by complex chemical reactions called metabolism, which involves a vast orchestra of proteins, enzymes, and other molecules. Sometimes, defects in how these molecules work lead to inborn errors of metabolism (IEM), affecting how we produce and break down proteins, fats, and car
A healthcare pro at a nearby hospital spotted a gap in child abuse cases. Kids with suspicious wounds weren't always treated the same way, even though different experts were involved. So, this pro set a goal: in just six months, bump the number of kids getting proper checks from 7. 7% to a whopping
Imagine you're trying to live healthier, and you download an app to help. But does adding game-like features make these health apps more effective? That's the question researchers wanted to answer. They looked at studies that compared apps with and without gamification. The goal was to see if these
Intermittent fasting, often touted as a weight loss and health improvement strategy, faces uncertainty when it comes to its effects on liver function, especially in adults dealing with metabolic disorders. To dig deeper, researchers conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis. They wanted to und
Imagine two global powers joining forces—Russia and China have started working together on something big: artificial intelligence (AI). Why is this a big deal? Well, the U. S. is leading the race in AI, and these two countries want to change that game. They're not just looking to catch up; they're a
Scientists often use stem cells to make artificial bones, but making sure these cells develop properly can be tricky. They've tried using omics technologies, like metabolomics, to check their quality. In a recent study, researchers combined metabolomics with machine learning to see if it could tell
For a long time, scientists have debated whether the way babies are born affects their breathing later in life. Some studies say yes, while others say no. This time, researchers wanted to look at something different: whether moms being in labor or not makes a difference. They thought that maybe babi
You might have heard of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, or NAFLD, but in 2023, health experts proposed a new name: metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease, or MASLD. This change came with new diagnostic criteria, but there's still a lot we don't know about the genetic factors tha
One Health is all about understanding that humans, animals, and the environment are connected. This study looked into how Pakistan's health system is handling this idea. Researchers talked to 17 key people from different fields like public health, agriculture, and veterinary medicine. They found tha
Fatty liver disease, also known as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), is a widespread issue affecting many adults globally. It's part of metabolic syndrome, which ups the risk for heart and metabolic diseases. While lifestyle changes are key, they're tough to stick to. That's why researchers
