Walking speed reflects the vitality of the muscles, bones, nerves and cardiovascular system, so our walking speed can also predict our lifespan. After the age of 65, our walking speed gradually decreases, and eventually our daily life will be affected, greatly reducing our quality of life. Therefore, it is very important to keep muscles, bones, nerves and heart healthy through endurance and resistance training. Exercise may be the best way to prevent slow walking. However, poor sleep quality and low energy levels may prevent many people from sticking with exercise. In addition, poor sleep quality and fatigue may be the cause of low NAD+ levels. Recently, Japanese scientists published a research article titled “Ingestion of β-nicotinamide mononucleotide increased blood NAD levels, maintained walking speed, and improved sleep quality in older adults in a double-blind randomized, placebo-controlled study” in the journal “GeroScience”. The results showed that supplementing NMN can prevent physical ...
A recent study indicates that Novo Nordisk’s Ozempic and similar GLP-1 medications may reduce patients’ misuse of opioids and alcohol, further demonstrating the broad potential of GLP-1 drugs beyond treating obesity and diabetes. This study was published on Thursday, October 17, in the journal *Addiction*. The research aims to further explore the growing potential uses of GLP-1 and seeks to address the troubling issue of opioid addiction among patients. An analysis conducted on 500,000 opioid-addicted patients revealed that those using GLP-1 medications had a 40% lower rate of opioid overdose compared to those who did not take GLP-1 medications. Additionally, similar comparative research was conducted among alcoholics. The results showed that among over 5,000 alcoholics using GLP-1 drugs, the rate of excessive drinking was 50% lower compared to those not using GLP-1. New Treatment Options The lead researcher, Dr. Fares Qeadan, an associate professor of biostatistics at Loyola University Chicago, ...

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer globally, with more than 44,000 new cases of the disease diagnosed in the UK every year. Now a study led by the Institute of Cancer Research (ICR), the University of Oxford and the University of Manchester has revealed previously unknown genetic causes of (CRC). The new research, published in Nature, offers a novel view of the genetic landscape of CRC and treatment responses. Led by Genomics England and NHS England, researchers analysed 2,023 bowel cancers from the 100,000 Genomes Project to identify new gene faults that lead to CRC. The research uncovered new CRC cancer sub-groups with specific genetic characteristics that affect how cancer behaves and responds to treatment. Commenting on the findings, co-lead researcher and ICR’s professor of cancer genomics, Richard Houlston, said: “This research is a great insight into the biology of CRC, uncovering the clues as to ...
A study led by researchers at the University of Leeds has revealed that a new artificial intelligence (AI) test to determine the risk of recurring bowel cancers could help patients avoid chemotherapy. The findings published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology Production could help doctors when deciding whether a patient needs chemotherapy following bowel cancer surgery. Found anywhere in the large bowel, bowel cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world, with 1.9 million cases diagnosed in 2020. In the UK alone, bowel cancer is the fourth most common cancer, affecting over 250,000 people. Researchers aimed to establish whether the number of CD3 cells within tumours could be used to predict the risk of a tumour coming back after surgery. In previous studies, bowel and rectal tumours with higher numbers of CD3 immune cells, which attack the cancer and help the body tackle the disease, have been ...
Researchers from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have successfully mapped the interactions of over 100 active substances with around 8,000 proteins to help identify previously unknown benefits of existing drugs. Published in Nature Biotechnology, researchers yielded more than one million dose-responsive curves, which demonstrated the mechanism behind the effects of active substances over the course of treatment. Precision medicine is designed to optimise efficiency or therapeutic benefit for particular groups of patients using genetic or molecular profiling to provide patients with the most individualised treatment possible. To do this, a precise understanding of what is happening at the cellular level is required. Researchers treated cells with various doses of 144 active substances, most of which are already being used in cancer treatment or are in the clinical approval stage. Once extracted, the team analysed proteins using mass spectrometry before studying the cell reactions using the data. In cancer, depending ...
