Paracetamol safety: New study finds no autism link

A review has provided evidence debunking claims that acetaminophen (paracetamol) use during pregnancy increases the risk of ASDand ADHD.

Hemi-Ellipsoid Formula Improves Carotid Plaque Volume Assessment

The researchers found that carotid plaque volume derived using the hemi-ellipsoid approach provided a more sensitive tool for evaluating plaque severity and monitoring progression over time compared with diameter or area stenosis alone.

Plant-Based Low-Protein Diet Shows Promise in CKD Management

A preliminary study suggests a plant-based low-protein diet may improve metabolic and inflammatory parameters and help prevent malnutrition–inflammation complex syndrome in adults with CKD.

Type 2 Diabetes

Metabolomic Signatures Sharpen Type 2 Diabetes Risk Prediction

Among 469 circulating metabolites assessed, 235 were significantly associated with incident disease. Notably, 67 of these associations had not been previously reported.

Colorectal Cancer

Psychiatric Disorders Linked to Colorectal Cancer Risk

Statistical analysis using Cox proportional hazards models demonstrated a significantly increased hazard of colorectal cancer associated with psychiatric disorders (hazard ratio: 1.93; 95% CI: 1.64–2.27).

urinary incontinence

Long-Term Urinary Incontinence Outcomes After Obstetric Sphincter Injury

A 12-year follow-up study shows urinary symptoms worsen over time after vaginal delivery, but long-term severity and quality-of-life impact are similar with or without OASIS.

Machine Learning Explains Global Cancer Survival Inequality

Machine learning analysis reveals why cancer survival differs between countries, identifying radiotherapy, coverage, and economic factors as critical drivers.
