Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease is the most common liver disease in the world, affecting about one third of the adult population. This disorder is characterized by the accumulation of fat in liver cells, which has severe liver consequences and is also associated with a high mortality rate from cardiovascular disease. Now, a University of Barcelona study published in the journal Pharmacological Research shows that pemafibrate and telmisartan, two drugs already approved for other conditions, effectively reduce fat accumulation in laboratory animal models of metabolic liver disease. Furthermore, the study suggests that this combination of drugs may help to reduce both liver involvement and associated cardiovascular complications. These results open the door to the development of safer and more effective treatments for this disease, for which current therapeutic options are very limited. The study has been carried out by a team led by Marta Alegret, professor at the ...
While the virus is common in tropical and subtropical regions, including Asia, Africa and South America, public health officials have been tracking reported infections in Europe and, in September, a confirmed case in Long Island, New York. Outbreaks of chikungunya have prompted the Centers for Disease Control to issue health notices to travelers bound for Bangladesh; Cuba; Guangdong Province, China; Kenya; Madagascar; Somalia; and Sri Lanka. In Guangdong Province, an”unprecedented”outbreak recently prompted government officials in China to mandate quarantines for anyone suspected of being infected by the virus, spraying individuals with mosquito repellent and spraying impacted buildings and other areas with insecticide. In a new study, published in Science Advances, researchers at the University of Notre Dame analyzed more than 80 outbreaks of chikungunya virus to improve prediction of future outbreaks and inform vaccine trial development. “Chikungunya outbreaks are unpredictable in both size and severity,”said Alex ...

However, the drug development cycle, clinical trial approval, and production are long and involve many steps. Investors need to be aware of the risk of drug development failure.
Adults under 50 undergoing colonoscopy were found to have a dramatically higher risk of having colorectal cancer when the procedure was done for rectal bleeding. Researchers found that rectal bleeding increased the odds of a colorectal cancer diagnosis by 8.5 times, underscoring the need to take the symptom seriously even in the absence of a family history in a population who may not otherwise meet screening age criteria. The research will be presented at the American College of Surgeons (ACS) Clinical Congress 2025 in Chicago, October 4-7. The retrospective study analyzed 443 patients under 50 who underwent a colonoscopy at the University of Louisville Health System between 2021 and 2023. Of them, 195 (44%) were diagnosed with early-onset colorectal cancer, while 248 (56%) had normal results. “Many of the early-onset colorectal cancers that I see have no family history. This research lends support to the question of ...
