Score Predicts Advanced Colorectal Neoplasia in Young Adults

by

Researchers have developed and internally validated a simple score using clinical factors that can help estimate the likelihood of advanced colorectal neoplasia in adults younger than age 45 years. While colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence has declined overall due to screening, early-onset CRC is on the rise, particularly in individuals younger than 45 years — an … Read more

Regular Flossing Tied to Reduced Ischemic Stroke Risk

by

Regular dental flossing is linked to a lower risk for ischemic stroke, primarily by reducing systemic inflammation, which can lead to atrial fibrillation (AF) increasing the likelihood of a cardioembolic event, new research suggested. The reduced risk is independent of oral care such as regular teeth brushing and visits to the dentist, the research showed. … Read more

Does Time-Restricted Eating Cut Extra Belly Fat?

by

TOPLINE: Time-restricted eating (TRE) doesn’t significantly reduce visceral adipose tissue (VAT) but leads to significant reductions in body weight compared with usual care in adults with overweight or obesity. METHODOLOGY: Although previous studies suggest that TRE may lead to modest weight loss and improvements in cardiometabolic health, the optimal timing of the eating window in … Read more
