just now (133+ words) Panelists discuss how recognizing high-risk patients and linking liver care with metabolic management can reduce both disease and economic impact. Panelists discuss how multiple patient factors'including obesity severity, metabolic syndrome, and comorbidities like diabetes and kidney disease'predict MASH risk. They highlight that identifying high-risk profiles allows clinicians to tailor care and prevent progression to fibrosis or cirrhosis. The panel expands on how interconnected diseases compound one another, noting that MASH often coexists with cardiovascular and renal conditions that demand coordinated management. They stress that failing to address liver health holistically can undermine broader cardiometabolic outcomes. The conversation also explores the economic dimension, revealing that MASH contributes substantially to healthcare costs. Panelists advocate for improved awareness, earlier intervention, and alignment across payers and clinicians to mitigate systemic and financial burden....

12+ min ago (230+ words) Implications for the future of immunotherapy extend even further, as this work opens avenues to explore PCSK9s role in other immune cells and contexts. The ability to manipulate the spatiotemporal characteristics of immune pathways suggests new frontiers in personalized medicine, where immune activation patterns could be tailored to individual patient tumor profiles and treatment histories. The study also highlights the intricate interplay between metabolic pathways and immune regulation within the tumor microenvironment. The recognition of PCSK9a metabolic regulatoras a pivotal immune modulator underscores the growing appreciation for the metabolism-immunity interface, which is emerging as a critical axis in cancer biology and therapy. From a broader perspective, this work demonstrates the potential of re-examining established molecular players through the lens of emerging immunological functions. Proteins like PCSK9, traditionally pigeonholed into static biological roles, may harbor unexplored capabilities that can be leveraged in innovative therapeutic…...

According to a statement issued by the Bursa Provincial Health Directorate on X, the 23 affected students from Soloz Primary School had consumed chicken schnitzel and pasta prepared by students of Erenler Girls' Vocational High School in the Orhangazi district. The statement said the affected children were taken to hospitals for treatment, adding that their overall condition was reported to be stable. Following the incident, teams from the district health directorate and the district agriculture and forestry directorate were dispatched to both schools to collect water and food samples and conduct an epidemiological investigation, it noted....

19+ min ago (345+ words) Researchers at the National Institute of Technology Rourkela (NIT Rourkela) have identified a natural compound in long pepper (pippali/thippili/maghaun) as an effective, cost-efficient agent against colon cancer cells. Colon cancer is a disease in which cells grow uncontrollably in the large intestine, forming tumours. It is one of the most common types of cancer globally. According to the World Health Organisation, in 2022 nearly 1.9 million new cases and almost 9,00,000 deaths due to colon cancer were reported worldwide. "Various international cancer research studies have examined natural molecules against a variety of cancers, but their impact on colorectal cancer has not been thoroughly explored," an NIT Rourkela researcher said. NIT Rourkela led a multi-institutional study and conducted a set of laboratory experiments to show the activity of Piperlongumine, a natural compound, as an alternative to chemotherapy. The research team found that…...

20+ min ago (761+ words) A volcanic eruption in northern Ethiopia on Sunday (November 23) has led to health scares in parts of India. The long-dormant Hayli Gubbi volcano in the Afar region of Ethiopia erupted over the weekend, sending ash plumes up to 14 km high. The volcanic ash crossed the Red Sea toward Yemen and Oman and then travelled to parts of Pakistan and northern India. The ash cloud is moving towards China and is expected to leave Indian skies by 1400 GMT (7:30 PM IST) Tuesday (November 25). The ash cloud entered India late on Monday, raising fears of its impact on human health and air quality. India's aviation regulator, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), also issued an advisory yesterday to all airlines to avoid areas affected by the volcanic ash. We take a closer look. Volcanic ash consists of pieces of broken rock, minerals…...

20+ min ago (661+ words) Doctors are reporting that more young adults are developing aggressive cancers, and many are being diagnosed only after the disease has already advanced. Data from Cancer Mukt Bharat show that 20% of all cancer cases in India now occur in people below 40, and nearly 63% of these younger patients are diagnosed at stage III or IV. Low awareness, misinterpreted symptoms, and a healthcare system not designed to detect cancer in younger age groups, could be reasons why cancer is being detected so late. But another factor is becoming impossible to ignore: environmental exposure, from toxic air to contaminated food and water. The National Cancer Registry Programme notes a rising trend in cancers among adolescents and young adults (1539 years). Among the most common in this age group: breast, thyroid, mouth, and tongue cancers. Many are already locally advanced by the time they are detected....

The move comes amid growing public health concerns over rabies and animal welfare. The regulation was signed into law by Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung Wibowo on Monday, November 24, 2025. The ban is outlined in Gubernatorial Regulation Number 36 of 2025, which prohibits the trade, slaughter, and consumption of meat from rabies-transmitting animals (RTAs). "This regulation can now take effect," Pramono said in a written statement on Tuesday, November 25, emphasizing the government's commitment to public health and animal protection. The regulation targets both individuals and businesses. It bars the sale of live animals, raw or processed meat, and other products derived from RTAs. It also prohibits the slaughter of dogs, cats, monkeys,…...

For years, campaigners and health officials have warned that a diet high in red and processed meats has the potential to wreak havoc on your health." Processed meats, such as bacon, which produce nitrates in the body have been linked to chronic health conditions including high blood pressure, kidney disease and even bowel cancer." And whilst some experts urge people to forgo all forms of processed meat completely, a new study has found that swapping out just one portion of red or processed meat a week for legumes could slash the risk of gallbladder disease." Gallbladder cancer is just one form of the devastating disease that has surged in under-50s in recent…...
