    Meat or veg? Plant-based protein is linked to a longer life, research shows

    A global study by experts at the University of Sydney has shown that countries which consume more plant-based proteins — such as chickpeas, tofu and peas — have longer adult life expectancies.

    Published in Nature Communications, Dr Alistair Senior, PhD candidate Caitlin Andrews and their team in the Charles Perkins Centre studied food supply and demographic data between 1961-2018 from 101 countries, with the data corrected to account for population size and wealth, to understand whether…

  • Intravascular imaging can improve outcomes for complex stenting procedures in patients with high-risk calcified coronary artery disease

    Intravascular imaging can improve outcomes for complex stenting procedures in patients with high-risk calcified coronary artery disease

    Using intravascular imaging (IVI) to guide stent implantation during complex stenting procedures is safer and more effective for patients with severely calcified coronary artery disease than conventional angiography, the more commonly used technique.

    Those are the findings from the largest clinical trial of its kind comparing the two methods during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The “ECLIPSE” trial results were presented on Monday, March 31, in a Late Breaking Clinical Trial…

  • New explanation for muscle memory found in muscle proteins

    New explanation for muscle memory found in muscle proteins

    Researchers investigated the quantities of thousands of muscle proteins and found a possible new explanation for muscle memory. A study by the Faculty of Sport and Health Sciences at the University of Jyväskylä, Finland, showed for the first time that muscles “remember” training at the protein level. The memory trace of previous resistance training persists in muscle proteins for over two months.

    It is often thought that the effects of exercise are short-lived, and a break from the gym for…

This is according to a new study from Karolinska Institutet and Karolinska University Hospital in Sweden published in the European Heart Journal. The condition is more common in women and younger patients with valve disorder and can, in the worst case, lead to sudden cardiac arrest.

    Mitral annular disjunction, MAD, is a heart abnormality in which the…

    Are high support bras bad for the back?

    Research from the University of Portsmouth suggests that bras offering excessive bounce reduction may come with hidden consequences for spinal health.

    Sports bras are extremely popular in the health and fitness world, with the bra industry often emphasising “bounce reduction” as a key indicator of a bra’s performance. However, a new study suggests that high-support bras that significantly reduce breast bounce could have a detrimental effect on the spine.
