About The Study: In this cohort study of preschoolers in Canada, higher ultraprocessed foods (UPF) intake was associated with adverse behavioral and emotional symptoms by age 5. These findings suggest that replacing UPF with minimally processed foods (MPF) during the preschool years may support healthier behavioral development, with potential benefits for long-term mental health. These findings also support ongoing policy actions that promote MPF and underscore the need for early-life dietary interventions. 

Pre-teens who struggle to control their video gaming habits are more likely to have psychotic-like experiences a year later, a new study has found.

McGill University researchers and colleagues at Maastricht University found that 12-year-olds who showed signs of problematic gaming were more likely to experience mild paranoia, unusual beliefs or disturbed perceptions at age 13.

Oregon Health & Science University researchers have found that certain nerves that play an integral role in the body’s “fight or flight” stress response can support pancreatic tumor growth.

These nerves, called sympathetic nerves, grow directly into pancreatic tumors and communicate with cancer cells and nearby support cells known as cancer-associated fibroblasts. This communication can change the tumor’s behavior in ways that help pancreatic cancer grow.

Study introduces a brand-new imaging tracer that looks at how tumours use fats to fuel their growth.

A large national study in Denmark following nearly 1,900 patients over almost a decade found that a minimally invasive procedure called ablation is as effective as surgery for treating small kidney cancers, with faster recovery and fewer complications.

Mount Sinai and King Saud University Medical City in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, today announced a three-year collaboration aimed at better understanding why inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) runs in some Saudi families, and how that knowledge can lead to risk ascertainment, earlier diagnosis and more personalized treatment options. The project will focus on Saudi families with multiple members affected by IBD, including Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. By identifying exposure and biological markers that drive disease mechanisms and outcomes in these high-risk families, the parties aim to accelerate the development of new diagnostics and therapies tailored to individual patients around the world. As part of the collaboration, King Saud University Medical City will identify and enroll eligible participants and collect whole blood, serum, and stool samples, along with de-identified health and family history information, from individuals with IBD and relatives at increased risk. Mount Sinai will lead advanced biomarker discovery and integrative analyses using multi-omics profiling and other state-of-the-art research tools.
