[ad_1] Why do some of us have curly hair, and some straight? A recent study in the Journal of Experimental Biology tested two popular theories that explain curly hair using wool from Merino sheep. Following years of research, two very different theories emerged to explain why sheep have curly wool. One theory proposed that cell
Researchers recently performed a clinical trial comparing the safety and effectiveness of semaglutide and dulaglutide for treating type 2 diabetes. Why has the incidence of this disease increased dramatically in past 30 years? The answer is rooted in the fact that type 2 diabetes is partly caused by dietary and lifestyle practices that disrupt the

A new innovation in brain scanner technology promises high-resolution neuroimaging in subjects without restricting their head and body movements. Neurons are specialized cells that are designed to generate electrochemical signals. These signals are the currency used to transmit information across the body. Neurons connect the brain, spinal cord, and each nook and cranny of our

Researchers recently conducted a study investigating the effects of using fenofibrate in the treatment of gout in type 2 diabetic patients. Gout is a disease characterized by joint inflammation resulting in painful attacks that can last from days to weeks. The inflammation is caused by urate crystals depositing into joints when uric acid levels in

[ad_1] Recent research from the Harvard’s School of Public Health suggests that monounsaturated fats from plant or animal sources may not be made equal. According to research from the United States Department of Agriculture, dietary monounsaturated fats make up 12% of the average American’s total energy intake. But apart from being an energy source, monounsaturated
Tongue bumps are common, and there are many possible causes, including injuries, allergies, and infections. Although tongue bumps can feel strange and may cause concern, they are usually harmless. Some people with bumps on their tongue may worry about cancer, but oral cancers are relatively rare. According to the American Cancer Society, around 50,000 people
[ad_1] Researchers in Ontario analysed the data of 40,000 patients to establish a safe maximum waiting time for hip fracture surgery. Almost all hip fractures need to be repaired by hip fracture surgery. Hip fractures can occur in people of any age, but the elderly are more prone to this type of injury. Several factors
[ad_1] Scientists developed distinct formulas to estimate body fat percentage in men and women based on simple body circumference measurements. The most widely used and accepted measure of body fat and weight is the body mass index (BMI). This measure, however, is flawed and sometimes does not produce an accurate depiction of health. Recently, clinicians
[ad_1] In a recent study, researchers reviewed existing data to determine if the consumption of sweet food influences the desire to consume more sweet food. High-sugar diets can have serious health implications, and health organizations are placing an emphasis on reducing sugar intake. The sweet flavour can induce feelings of pleasure and satisfaction and may
[ad_1] A recent study compared the use of MRI to guide targeted biopsies with the standard diagnostic tool for detecting prostate cancer in men. The ideal diagnostic method for detecting cancer is one that is minimally invasive, has few side effects, and a high rate of identifying patients who would benefit from treatment. Typically, men

New research suggests that intermittent fasting may raise insulin levels, damage pancreatic cells, and increase the amount of abdominal fat. Intermittent fasting may be a popular diet, but it may also harm our metabolic health, suggests a new study. The so-called intermittent fasting diet has been gaining more and more traction among people who want
[ad_1] Nie and colleagues investigate whether clicky hips are a potential symptom of hip dysplasia in British infants.
