Relationship conflicts often persist for years, but researchers and therapists say healthier listening, empathy, curiosity and compromise can transform how couples respond. Couples therapy has a positive impact on 70% of participants, provided partners are motivated to change.
Recent studies suggest moderate coffee consumption may support cardiovascular and liver health, while a randomized trial found caffeinated coffee was associated with a 39% lower risk of recurrent atrial flutter among adults with persistent AFib.
Some people gain weight after starting statins, but evidence does not show that the drugs directly cause it. Dietary changes may be a larger factor, while limited animal research has raised questions about possible metabolic effects.
Retinal scans revealed subtle tissue thinning among people who developed atrial fibrillation an average of 4 years later, offering a promising but still unproven path toward earlier risk assessment and closer cardiovascular monitoring.
An AI algorithm found 55 brain aneurysms missed by initial radiologists and delivered a 39% relative increase in detection, but varying results across care settings and unresolved patient outcomes highlight the need for physician oversight and further research.
Research suggests the social hierarchies of adolescence can shape adult health, relationships and expectations for decades, but supportive friendships and a conscious effort to revise old assumptions may weaken the grip of painful school experiences.
An analysis of 51 studies found that healthy diets, exercise, and certain medications changed DNA biomarkers associated with aging, while supplements showed little effect. Researchers caution that these shifts do not prove people remain healthier or live longer.
Artificial intelligence, MRI scans and sleep tracking could help scientists detect unhealthy brain ageing earlier, while research on depression and hibernating squirrels may reveal new treatments. Yet lifestyle, social connection, activity and sleep remain essential.
