Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have developed a suite of algorithms to automate the measurement of sister chromatid exchanges (SCE) in chromosomes under the microscope. Conventional analysis requires trained personnel and time, with variability between different individuals. The team’s machine learning-based algorithm boasts 84% accuracy and provides a more objective metric. This could be a game-changer for diagnosing disorders linked to an abnormal number of SCEs, such as Bloom’s syndrome. DNA, the blueprint of life for all living organisms, is packaged inside complex structures called chromosomes. When DNA is copied, two identical strands known as sister chromatids are formed, each…
A controlled crossover study shows that simply working in natural daylight, rather than standard artificial lighting, can stabilize daily glucose fluctuations, enhance fat oxidation, and subtly regulate the body’s metabolic clock in people with type 2 diabetes. Study: Natural daylight during office hours improves glucose control and whole-body substrate metabolism. Image credit: Piotr Zajda/Shutterstock.com In a recent study published in Cellular Metabolismresearchers investigated whether office hours in natural daylight, rather than artificial office lighting, might improve health markers in people with type 2 diabetes. They found that exposure to natural light shifted metabolism toward greater fat oxidation, regulated selected circadian…
Losing weight without rearranging your gastrointestinal anatomy has advantages beyond the lack of surgical risk. The surgical community objects in characterizing bariatric surgery as wiring the inner jaw and cutting into healthy organs just to discipline people’s behavior. They’ve even dubbed it “metabolic surgery,” suggesting that the anatomical rearrangements cause changes in digestive hormones that provide unique physiological benefits. As proof, they point to the remarkable remission rates for type 2 diabetes. After bariatric surgery, about 50% of obese people with diabetes and 75% of “obese” diabetics go in remission, meaning they have normal blood sugar levels on a regular…

Background Most of us know the feeling: maybe it’s making a difficult phone call, starting a report you fear will be criticized, or preparing a presentation that makes you nervous just thinking about it. You understand what you need to do, but taking that first step is surprisingly difficult. When this difficulty becomes severe, it is medically known as a miscarriage. People with abulia aren’t lazy or ignorant: they know what to do, but their brain just can’t seem to hit the go button. Abortion commonly occurs in conditions such as depression, schizophrenia and Parkinson’s disease and severely disrupts a…
Even at a young age I could feel the power of my anger and how it set me apart from others. I observed other sons interacting with their fathers and saw that they loved and supported them. As a result, they had a calm, patient fullness that I admired. My father seemed to enjoy my mistakes as an opportunity to belittle me and aggrandize himself. At twenty-eight, my life broken by alcohol and drugs, I came to the conclusion that I needed help. I decided I didn’t want to destroy myself like the old man did. How could I stay…

Move over protein, there’s a new sheriff in town: Fiber. Gen Z might call it two X’s, but “fibermaxxing” is a concept we nutritionists have been touting for decades: get 30-40 grams of fiber per day (from real, whole foods)! At first, I thought fibermaxxing was going to be a ploy by food and supplement manufacturers to get you to buy their products (no thanks, Fiber One), but I was pleasantly surprised when I saw most of the fibermaxxing videos with big plates of fruits, vegetables, chia pudding, beans, lentils, nuts, foods that I would like to focus on for…
Federal rental assistance distributed during the COVID-19 pandemic did much more than help people stay in their homes. It also improved their mental health. A UC Riverside study published this week in the journal Health matters found that the Emergency Rental Assistance (ERA) program—created by Congress in 2021 to prevent evictions among low-income renters during the pandemic—also improved mental health and increased appropriate use of mental health care. “Using a national data set, we found that housing assistance helped low-income renters—who are among the most vulnerable populations—feel better and receive mental health treatment when needed,” said Wei Kang, an assistant…
