Emphysema detected on CT predicts mortality from all causes

Emphysema detected on baseline low-dose chest CT (LDCT) in the lung cancer screening cohort of more than 9,000 asymptomatic adults was associated with death from all causes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and cardiovascular disease within a 25-year follow-up period in a new study published today in Radiology, a journal of the Radiological Society of North America.

Binge drinking mixed with cannabis tied to greater negative consequences

A new longitudinal study led by York University's Department of Psychology published today finds that young adults experiencing periods of high stress, anxiety and depressed mood more frequently combined binge drinking with cannabis use in order to get more high and drunk, and were also likely to report more adverse life consequences when combining these substances.

Experts review the evidence on coenzyme Q10 and cognitive decline

Researchers reviewed evidence on coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) and cognition, finding strong biological support and positive results in animal models but mixed outcomes in human trials. Larger, high-quality studies are needed to clarify whether CoQ10 can protect against cognitive decline and neurodegenerative diseases.

Planetary health diet links to longer life and lower emissions

Greater adherence to the Planetary Health Diet was linked to lower all-cause, cancer, and respiratory mortality across large US and UK cohorts, supported by a meta-analysis of 37 studies. Diets higher in PHD foods also had smaller greenhouse gas footprints, reinforcing health and environmental benefits.
