Brought to you by the International Society of Antioxidant in Nutrition & Health (ISANH), the 24th International Conference on Oxidative Stress Reduction, Redox Homeostasis & Antioxidants “Paris Redox 2022” will shed the light on the latest innovations in the redox field, as well as the future of redox medicine.

While a higher percentage of White and Asian adults acknowledge the existence of weight bias in society, Hispanic and Black Americans were more likely to experience it first hand, according to a new study presented today during the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS) Annual Meeting (#ASMBS2022).

Weight-loss surgery improves or puts into remission type 2 diabetes, reduces heart attacks and stroke and results in significant and durable weight loss, but a new study finds outdated guidelines issued by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) more than 30 years ago may be stopping a large portion of patients with a lower body mass index (BMI), who could otherwise benefit, from having the surgery or even considering it an option.

Individuals with obesity were at least two times more likely to develop certain types of cancer and 3.5 times more likely to die from from the disease than those who had weight-loss surgery, according to a new study presented today at the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS) Annual Meeting (#ASMBS2022).

People who had weight-loss surgery were 37% less likely to develop colorectal cancer compared to individuals with obesity who did not have the surgery, according to a new study* presented today at the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS) Annual Meeting (#ASMBS2022).

Many insurance companies require patients to complete a medically supervised weight management program before they approve them for weight-loss surgery, but new data shows this controversial requirement does nothing to improve treatment or safety outcomes, and may actually hinder weight loss success.

Frequent snorers and individuals with a high risk of obstructive sleep apnea are less active than those who don’t snore, according to a new study to be presented at SLEEP 2022.

An analysis of survey data collected between 2000 and 2020 as part of the National College Health Assessment found that underrepresented minority groups experienced greater sleep disparities compared with other students, contributing to an academic achievement gap.

At this year’s European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology (EULAR) Congress, held June 1 to 4 in Copenhagen, Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) presented new research related to the treatment and management of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The studies focus on the tapering of treatment in patients whose disease is well controlled, real-world outcomes for targeted therapies, assessing the effects of biologic treatments on immune cells from patients with RA, and the underlying mechanisms of arthritis triggered by immune checkpoint therapies used to treat cancer.

A recent study found that nightmares linked to a specific traumatic event in veterans are significantly associated with suicide reattempts.

The wealth of brain wave data collected during overnight sleep studies can predict future health outcomes, strengthening the concept of sleep as a “window” into health, according to a study from researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.

Adults who share a bed with a partner or spouse sleep better than those who sleep alone, according to a new study from researchers at the University of Arizona.
