This week started to close that gap in a big way.Because aerobic fitness matters for everyoneCarl simply put, every time you get up and move, you are using your aerobic energy system. That one line reframed how…

1. Background: With the increasing aging of the population, the high incidence of chronic diseases, and the increasing number of congenital or acquired foot deformities, lower limb dysfunction and abnormal gait problems are becoming more common, posing a significant threat to public health and quality of life. Gait analysis is widely considered a sensitive biomechanical index to assess lower extremity function, disease progression, and rehabilitation efficacy. However, existing clinical gait assessment is mainly based on laboratory equipment such as visual motion capture systems and force platforms, which are not only expensive and spatially limited, but also fail to reflect natural…

Last updated: March 2026 Quick answer: When you come off GLP-1 after 12 weeks, signs of appetite often return gradually. Many people find it helpful to maintain the same meal structure, protein focus, and hydration rate they built up during the program. This phase is less about changing everything and more about maintaining consistent habits while your body recalibrates. Switching from GLP-1 after 12 weeks can bring mixed feelings. You may feel proud of your progress and unsure of what’s next at the same time. This is normal. This stage is not a reboot. It is a shift from the…

A new report from the Gerontological Society of America (GSA) summarizes research findings on the readiness of the primary care workforce to adopt digital cognitive assessments (DCAs) for use in the diagnostic process for cognitive impairment and dementia. While the clinical literature consistently highlights early detection as a critical driver in the management of Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, detecting subtle changes in cognitive function remains a challenge. The current reliance on paper-based analog projections introduces a level of subjectivity and coarseness to the data that can miss subtle indicators of decline in the early stages.” Lisa C.…

Special women’s day Chef Pam Pichaya Soontornyanakij’s story is shaped by a rare blend of cultures and quiet determination. Raised in a Thai-Chinese household with strong Western influences, her understanding of food was never limited to one tradition. Meals at home were a natural mix of spaghetti and rice, wok-fried noodles alongside grilled meats. This openness has taught her to see the kitchen not as ‘fusion’ but as coexistence – where diversity is not forced but welcomed. Her Thai-Chinese roots gave her a deep respect for balance, layers and meaning in food, while Western influences gave her variety and ease.…

Maintaining oral health is a relatively simple process and is often taken seriously. It is, however, paradoxical that compromised oral health can affect a woman’s reproductive health, affect male fertility and even affect pregnancy health. Oral hygiene focuses on keeping all parts of the mouth clean, such as the teeth, tongue and gums. This requirement is adequately met by brushing twice a day and flossing as often as possible. Maintaining oral health during pregnancy is vital as hormonal changes in pregnant women increase the risk of gingivitis, which causes inflammation, transfer of bacteria to the reproductive system, and even premature…

Specialist palliative care has the potential to reduce costs by up to £8,000 per person and improve quality of life. The new study, published by researchers at King’s College London in the National Institute for Health and Research (NIHR) Policy Research Unit in Palliative and End-of-Life Care, Hull York Medical School, University of Hull and University of Leeds, looked at two modes of care: for those living at home and for those in acute hospital settings. In addition to significantly reducing the total cost of care per person, skilled palliative care provided at home and in the hospital was found…
