Rapid Weight Regain Seen After Discontinuing Weight Loss Drugs
Obesity is a chronic, complex, and relapsing disease affecting approximately two billion adults globally and is associated with an increased risk of premature morbidity and mortality. Behavioural weight management programmes (BWMPs) are the main treatments for weight loss. But newer weight management medications (WMMs) like dual glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1)/glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) agonists and GLP-1 […]
Dissolved-O2-driven Mn single-atom enzyme for colorimetric detection of glutathione in food
Anal Chim Acta. 2026 Feb 1;1385:345018. doi: 10.1016/j.aca.2025.345018. Epub 2025 Dec 15. ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Rapid, low-cost measurement of glutathione (GSH) is valuable for judging food freshness. However, many colorimetric assays depend on natural enzymes or added H2O2, which limits stability and use in real samples. RESULTS: We developed a manganese single-atom enzyme (Mn/SAE) with intrinsic […]

Characterizing Neuro-PASC outcome with the mobile Neuro-COVID recovery care companion application
BMC Neurol. 2026 Jan 12;26(1):24. doi: 10.1186/s12883-025-04577-8. ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Long COVID, or post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC), affects 14 million people in the US. Neurologic manifestations of PASC (Neuro-PASC) are particularly debilitating. However, the evolution of these symptoms and factors associated with recovery are poorly understood. This study aimed to characterize Neuro-PASC symptom evolution […]
America’s New 2025–2030 Dietary Guidelines: “Eat Real Food”
The United States is facing a national health emergency. Approximately 90% of the health care spending is directed toward the management of chronic diseases like heart disease, obesity, and diabetes. Many of these conditions are caused by prolonged poor eating habits and lack of physical activity rather than genetics. Today, over 70% of adults are […]
AI-Enabled Precision Nutrition in the ICU: A Narrative Review and Implementation Roadmap
Nutrients. 2025 Dec 28;18(1):110. doi: 10.3390/nu18010110. ABSTRACT Background: Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly used in intensive care units (ICUs) to enable personalized care, real-time analytics, and decision support. Nutritional therapy-a major determinant of ICU outcomes-often remains delayed or non-individualized. Objective: This study aimed to review current and emerging AI applications in ICU nutrition, highlighting clinical […]
One-Year Prospective Study on Smartphone-Based Coefficient of Variation Analysis of Seated Stepping Movements for Fall Risk Prediction in Older Adults
Sensors (Basel). 2025 Dec 22;26(1):80. doi: 10.3390/s26010080. ABSTRACT Older adults with a recent fall history tend to have larger variability in stepping than those without a fall history. In this study, we examined whether variability in step timing-defined as the coefficient of variation (CV) of step timings during seated stepping exercises-can identify individuals at higher […]
Optimizing the Interaction System for Treadmill Video Games Using a Smartphone’s Front Camera
Sensors (Basel). 2025 Dec 19;26(1):20. doi: 10.3390/s26010020. ABSTRACT This paper introduces a lightweight and accessible interaction system for treadmill-based video games, relying solely on facial tracking via a smartphone’s front camera. The system enables real-time estimation of running cadence and directional control through natural head movements, providing an immersive and hands-free gaming experience. A key […]
App supporting surveillance for (likely) pathogenic TP53 variant carriers: acceptance among a German cohort
Arch Gynecol Obstet. 2026 Jan 10;313(1):28. doi: 10.1007/s00404-026-08308-3. ABSTRACT The rapid digitalization of healthcare is transforming medical care strategies. Individuals carrying (likely) pathogenic TP53 germline variants (P/LP TP53) require complex surveillance protocols. To support these individuals, we provided the adapted PatientConcept app to adults with a P/LP TP53 variant and their relatives. We analyzed the […]
Strength of Association Between Smartphone and Social Media Screen Time with Dietary Behaviour and Physical Activity in United Arab Emirates Adults: A Cross-Sectional Study
Nutrients. 2025 Dec 25;18(1):67. doi: 10.3390/nu18010067. ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Smartphones and social media (SPSM) use has become an integral part of life around the globe, including the United Arab Emirates (UAE). This study investigated the association and strength of association between SPSM screen time and dietary and physical activity behaviours among adults in the UAE. METHODS: […]
