    Exercise and eat your veggies: Privileged prescriptions like these don’t always reduce risk of heart disease

    A leading cardiovascular disease researcher from Simon Fraser University is ringing the alarm on universal recommendations intended to improve heart health around the globe.

    Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death worldwide, with 80 per cent of deaths occurring in low- and middle-income countries. However, international heart-health guidelines are primarily based on research from high-income countries and often overlook upstream causes of CVD, says Scott Lear, a health…

    Social connection is still underappreciated as a medically relevant health factor

    Research confirms that social isolation and loneliness significantly impact health and mortality, even if not listed on death certificates. BYU psychology and neuroscience professor, Julianne Holt-Lunstad, has published extensively on the topic, including a landmark 2010 meta-analysis and a 2023 framework on assessment and treatment. She also served as lead scientist on the 2023 Surgeon General Advisory and is advising the World Health Organization on an upcoming report that addresses the…

    Fine was asked whether the fatal shooting of two Israeli embassy staff members in Washington should impact Gaza ceasefire talks.

    “In World War II, we did not negotiate a surrender with the Nazis. We did not negotiate a surrender with the Japanese. We nuked the…

    Hijabs onscreen, critics offscreen for Iran film in Cannes

    A state-approved Iranian movie featuring women constantly in headscarves premiered at the Cannes film festival on Thursday, with director Saeed Roustayi defending his decision to bend to the diktats of national censors.

    The Cannes Festival has long offered a platform for independent Iranian filmmakers whose work is lauded on the French Riviera but usually banned at home.

    Roustayi has previously defied his country’s authorities. His last film in Cannes — “Leila’s Brothers” in 2022 — landed…

    Politicians point fingers at the Palestine movement after two Israeli Embassy staffers killed in D.C. – Mondoweiss

    Two Israeli Embassy staffers were killed in a shooting outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, DC, on Wednesday night. The American Jewish Committee (AJC) was hosting an event at the building.

    The victims were Yaron Lischinsky, 30, and Sarah Milgrim, 26. According to Israel’s ambassador to the U.S. they were a “young couple about to be engaged.”

    “The event had just wrapped up. A couple of us were touring the galleries upstairs and out of nowhere, we hear a…

  • Tiny genetic switch found to control brain balance and behavior

    Tiny genetic switch found to control brain balance and behavior

    Researchers at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) have identified a remarkably small but critical piece of genetic code that helps determine how brain cells connect, communicate, and function. The discovery not only deepens our understanding of how the brain’s wiring is built but may also explain the origins of several neurological and psychiatric conditions.

    The study, conducted by the Center for Synaptic Brain Dysfunctions at IBS and led by Director KIM Eunjoon (Distinguished Professor…

  • How stress disrupts emotion control in people with mental health conditions

    How stress disrupts emotion control in people with mental health conditions

    New Edith Cowan University (ECU) research suggests that acute stress may impair key brain functions involved in managing emotions — particularly in people living with ‘distress disorders’ such as depression, anxiety, and borderline personality disorder.

    The study by ECU Masters student Tee-Jay Scott and Professor Joanne Dickson found that rather than enhancing mental focus in high-pressure moments, stress may temporarily disrupt executive functions — the brain’s control processes that help…

  • Study discovers DNA switch that controls TB growth, and could help unlock its antibiotic resistance secrets

    Study discovers DNA switch that controls TB growth, and could help unlock its antibiotic resistance secrets

    The bacteria that cause tuberculosis (TB) may have an “on-off switch” that lets them pause and restart growth, according to a new study from the University of Surrey and the University of Oxford. The research helps explain why TB is so hard to treat with antibiotics and could pave the way for better drugs.

    In a study published in The EMBO Journal, researchers show how Mycobacterium tuberculosis uses a reversible process called ADP-ribosylation to modify its DNA and control both replication…
