New research from Edith Cowan University (ECU) has uncovered a surprising result in athletes following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, which could impact their return to sports.  

About The Study: In contrast to earlier studies, this meta-analysis found significantly higher treatment failure and major complication rates within a year with nonoperative management among children and adolescents. The meta-analysis provides pediatricians and pediatric surgeons with up-to-date data to inform shared decision-making with families and encourage individualized, patient-centered treatment. 

Researchers from Haukeland University Hospital and the University of Bergen analysed PET/CT scans of 274 women with endometrial cancer, measuring glucose uptake in visceral fat as an indicator of metabolic activity. They found that women with higher metabolic activity - assessed by average glucose uptake in visceral fat tissue - were more likely to present with advanced stage disease and lymph node metastases.

Engaging in creative experiences such as music, dance, visual arts, and even specific video games can slow brain aging and promote healthier brain function, according to a trailblazing international study published in Nature Communications.
