Hungry, scared Darfur civilians fear RSF attack, plead for army help | Sudan war News
Civilians in Sudan’s North Darfur’s capital, el-Fasher, and surrounding towns are starving.
The paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have imposed a siege on them for about a year, yet they managed to forestall an invasion thanks to the Joint Forces – an array of local armed factions backed by the army.
The besieged civilians are now pleading for help, but some fear the army has neither the political will nor the capability to rescue civilians, say experts, local journalists and…

Surgery doesn’t always help with chronic rhinosinusitis — a new risk score predicts treatment efficacy
A new CT-scan based risk score facilitates the identification of patients at risk of revision endoscopic sinus surgery due to chronic rhinosinusitis.
“This allows for early prediction of disease progression and planning of further treatment,” says Professor Sanna Toppila-Salmi of the University of Eastern Finland.
The results of the Finnish multi-centre study were published in Clinical and Translational Allergy.
Symptoms of chronic rhinosinusitis, i.e., inflammation of the nasal and sinus…

Some gut bacteria could make certain drugs less effective
A new study, published today in Nature Chemistry by researchers from the University of Pittsburgh and Yale University, shows how common gut bacteria can metabolize certain oral medications that target cellular receptors called GPCRs, potentially rendering these important drugs less effective.
Drugs that act on GPCRs, or G protein-coupled receptors, include more than 400 medications approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treatment of many common conditions such as…

PEPITEM sequence shows effects in psoriasis, comparable to steroid cream
Birmingham scientists have shown that a sequence of just three amino acids may reduce the severity of psoriasis, when applied topically in an emollient cream.
The researchers, whose study is published in Pharmacological Research, identified the smallest part of a peptide (small protein) called PEPITEM, which occurs naturally in the body and regulates inflammation.
The study also showed that both PEPITEM and the three amino acid (tripeptide) sequence delivered a significant reduction in the…

How researchers are shining a light on kidney disease
For patients with polycystic kidney disease (PKD), a common genetic disorder that ravages the waste-removing organ with cysts, dialysis and transplantation are among the only treatments.
More than 12.4 million people worldwide suffer from the dominant form of the condition. Now, Rutgers University geneticists have uncovered fresh details of how the disease progresses — findings that could open the door to new therapies.
In a study published in Nature Communications, Inna Nikonorova, a…

Western diet causes inflammation, traditional African food protects
A switch of just two weeks from a traditional African diet to a Western diet causes inflammation, reduces the immune response to pathogens, and activates processes associated with lifestyle diseases. Conversely, an African diet rich in vegetables, fiber, and fermented foods has positive effects. This study, published in Nature Medicine, highlights the significant impact of diet on the immune system and metabolism.
Lifestyle diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and chronic…

Thirst and hunger neurons | ScienceDaily
To ensure we get the calories and hydration we need, the brain relies on a complex network of cells, signals, and pathways to guide us when to eat, drink, or stop. Yet, much about how the brain deciphers the body’s needs and translates them into action remains unknown. Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Biological Intelligence, in collaboration with the University of Regensburg and Stanford University, have identified specific populations of neurons in the amygdala — an emotional…
