One of a few kinds of gut bacteria singled out by scientists in a recent study appears to be associated with an 18-percent-higher chance of getting Alzheimer's disease.

Former Coca-Cola consultant discusses a study linking Alzheimer's disease to gut bacteria and how what you eat can impact your brain health.

University of Nevada, Las Vegas, researchers have identified a correlation between Alzheimer's disease and specific gut microbiota populations. In a paper published in Scientific Reports titled "Genetic correlations between Alzheimer's disease and gut microbiome genera," the researchers explain how they narrowed the search down to a half dozen disease-correlated microbes, with one related to the most significant risk.

Tensions between the brain, the gut, and the makeup of its microbial inhabitants appear to play a critical role in the development of neurodegenerative conditions.

Nuclear blasts create dangerous fallout — residual radioactive material that travels high into the air, cools into dust, and eventually settles back to the ground, poisoning it in the process.

When embarking on a healthy eating plan, people may offer up several goals that motivate them, including things like wanting to feel better, losing weight, or living a longer healthier life.

Emergency physician Nathan Hollister noticed that when a UFC fighter came into the ER, or a member of the Las Vegas Raiders or Vegas Golden Knights, there were special protocols for treating their injuries.

According to research presented on March 5, 2023, at the American College of Cardiology’s Annual Scientific Session Together With the World Congress of Cardiology, a “keto-like diet” was associated with negative effects, including higher levels of LDL cholesterol, the so-called “bad” cholesterol.

New research published in the journal Nature Medicine reports that the popular artificial sweetener erythritol was found to be linked to a greater risk for cardiovascular events like heart attack and stroke.

As little as a cup a day of strawberries can improve heart health, according to the Global Burden of Disease study.

As attention focuses on heart disease this February for American Heart Month, the latest research on strawberries, including their potential heart health benefits, was presented at the 9th biennial Berry Health Benefits Symposium (BHBS) in Tampa, FL. This research adds to the growing body of scientific evidence supporting the role of strawberry consumption in promoting heart health. 

A new era of spaceflight has dawned with NASA's Artemis programme, which aims to establish a base camp on the moon and lay groundwork for a future trip to Mars. The US space agency will send humans back to the lunar surface in 2025, but its manned missions to the Red Planet won't take place until the 2030s. Meanwhile, billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk thinks he can beat NASA to it by sending crewed flights to Mars as soon as the second half of this decade.
