Diet linked to cognitive function in older adults via gut microbiota

12 Aug 2025 by

Greater adherence to dietary patterns that are beneficial to gut microbiota is associated with better cognitive function in older adults, according to data from the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). When these findings were validated in an independent Hong Kong osteoporosis cohort, higher dietary fibre intake significantly correlated with higher cognitive scores in older adults in Hong Kong.

MASLD severity tied to poor cognitive function, HRQoL in patients with obesity

11 Aug 2025

Greater severity in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) may impair cognitive function and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with overweight or obesity, suggests a study.

GLP-1RAs may provide migraine relief independent of weight loss

08 Aug 2025 by

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) have the potential to reduce the frequency of migraines even in patients who do not lose weight—an effect that may be related to a reduction in intracranial pressure, according to a pilot prospective observational study.

First-of-its-kind microcatheter for targeted endovascular interventions

07 Aug 2025 by

A first-of-its-kind submillimeter magnetically actuated soft rotatable-tipped microcatheter (MSRM) developed by a cross-disciplinary research team from the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) may potentially provide faster, safer, and more precise solution for treating life-threatening blood vessel blockages in the brain.

Sexual function reduced in people with multiple sclerosis

06 Aug 2025

People with multiple sclerosis (MS) tend to experience a lower sexual function (SF) than healthy individuals, reports a study. Age, depression, disease duration, and the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) influence SF.

Disease-related brain activation forecasts TNF inhibitor response in RA

30 Jul 2025

In patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), high disease-associated central nervous system (CNS) pain activation on functional MRI (fMRI) brain scan may help predict clinical response to TNF inhibitor treatment, as shown in a phase III study.
