Oncology drug development is a complex, high-stakes endeavor where every decision can significantly impact the success of a clinical trial. One critical factor in improving outcomes is the ability to gain early and accurate insights into how a treatment affects tumors and their microenvironment. Advanced imaging techniques, especially when applied early in oncology trials, offer a powerful way to gather this information. Early imaging insights can lead to better-defined trial endpoints, more efficient trials, and ultimately, faster paths to regulatory approval and patient benefit.

August 20, 2025Vitamin D supplementation is associated with decreased ADHD symptoms, including lower levels of hyperactivity and inattention in children, finds a new meta-analysis.1 The research builds on previous studies that found relatively lower levels of vitamin D in children with ADHD than in their neurotypical peers.The meta-analysis reviewed six studies of children with ADHD who received vitamin D supplements or placebos. The children treated with vitamin D exhibited decreased ADHD symptoms (SMD=-0.59), including lower scores of hyperactivity (SMD=-0.64) and inattention (SMD=-0.6) with no significant side effects.

July 22, 2025ADHD and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) may cause several common gastrointestinal diseases, and individuals with ADHD are 63% more likely to develop irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) than their neurotypical peers, according to new genetic research1 and a meta-analysis.2 Together, these two studies shed light on the multi-layered relationship between ADHD and common gastrointestinal disorders such as reflux, gastritis, and IBS, offering support for the growing awareness of gut health’s influence on ADHD symptoms.The first study, published in Medicine, sought to determine whether a causal relationship exists between gastrointestinal diseases and ADHD as well as PTSD. Researchers performed a Mendelian randomization analysis using data from the FinnGen study related to 24 gastrointestinal diseases, and data from the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium related to ADHD and PTSD.Researchers found that genetic susceptibility to ADHD was linked to:Genetic susceptibility to PTSD was linked to:This data, concluded the study authors, “provides evidence supporting causal relationship between PTSD and ADHD with specific gastrointestinal diseases.”A second study, published in Scientific Reports, investigated the association between ADHD and intestinal disorders.

Below, we delve into the nuances of how quality research liquids can shape the realm of scientific investigations.

“Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.”ConfuciusThis article is about a few mistakes I’ve made.About a few destructive habits that can make life quite messy and unhappy.And it’s about what you can do instead to replace those mistakes and habits with something better.This article is all about uncovering simplicity if you find yourself having overcomplicated your life.Few habits and mistakes are as common as getting stuck in overthinking.I used to do it all the time.And it led to a lot of analysis paralysis, to little action being taken on what I deep down wanted and to so much time and energy wasted.What to do instead:Set short deadlines.When you have all the time in the world to consider something then that can often wind up in you spending a lot of time thinking about the situation at hand from every conceivable angle.I have found that learning to set short deadlines is really helpful for this, although it take a bit to practice.So for small decisions like if should go and do the dishes or go and work out I usually give myself 30 seconds or less to make a decision.For somewhat larger decisions that in the past would have taken me days or weeks to think through I set a deadline for 30 minutes or for the end of the workday.Say stop in a situation where you know you can’t think straight.I know that I’m more vulnerable to negative thinking and overthinking things when I’m hungry or when I’m close to my bedtime.And so I have learned to stay away from thinking about anything important during that time.And if such thoughts with a negative twist still pop up then I tell myself: No, no, we’re not going to think about this now.Because I know that I will be back to thinking clearly and optimistically again

UKHSA) has published its containing updated analysis of the emergent variant BA.2.86.BA.2.86 continues to transmit within the UK, with sporadic cases identified in most regions.The briefing contains early laboratory data from a number of scientific organisations around the UK, including UKHSA’s own Vaccine Development and Evaluation Centre (VDEC), the University of Oxford, the Glasgow Centre of Virus Research and the Pirbright Institute.This early data indicates that BA.2.86 is no more likely to evade existing antibodies than XBB.1.5, another variant that has been circulating widely in the UK.While the available data remains limited, there is currently no evidence to suggest that BA.2.86 infection is more likely to make people seriously ill than currently-circulating variants, while vaccination is likely to provide continued protection.UKHSA will continue to monitor vaccine effectiveness in the population throughout the winter and will publish updated analysis in due course.Professor Susan Hopkins, Chief Medical Advisor, UKHSA said:While this is still very early data and more research is needed before we can be certain, it is encouraging to see an initial indication that BA.2.86 demonstrates similar levels of antibody escape compared to other variants circulating in the UK. The available data is too limited to draw conclusions about the severity of the illness it causes, but there is so far no evidence to suggest that it is more likely to make people seriously ill than other Omicron variants in circulation.The autumn vaccination programme started this month, and this new data shows once again how important it is that the most vulnerable among us are fully vaccinated in order to receive the greatest possible protection.

NORRISTOWN, Pa. - District Attorneys in the four collar counties of Philadelphia say they have begun using a new, high-tech tracking system they think will allow them to make more gun arrests and save lives.The Nibin System analyzes the unique grooves and patterns formed on the spent shell of a bullet when it's fired. Investigators hope to us the information to link the shell to a gun and the person who pulled the trigger. Montgomery County District Attorney Kevin Steele said the system "enables us to interrupt the shooting cycle, stopping a shooter from doing it again and therefore reducing overall gun violence."Steele joined district attorneys from Bucks, Chester, and Delaware counties in a Wednesday afternoon press conference, with piles of spend casing heaped in front of them.

may help prevent heart disease or even a lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes.The new analysis, published on March 31 in JAMA Network Open, reviewed more than 100 studies published as far back as 1980, involving nearly 5 million people in total. It found that there was a "significantly increased risk" of death among female drinkers who drank 25 or more grams of alcohol per day, which is about two 5-ounce glasses of wine, two 12-ounce beers, or two cocktails containing 1.5 ounces of distilled spirits. The same significantly increased risk was found for males who drank 45 or more grams of alcohol per day, or slightly over three standard drinks.FILE - A woman pours wine into a glass at home. (Photo by Finn Winkler/picture alliance via Getty Images) The analysis was conducted by researchers at the University of Victoria’s Canadian Institute for Substance Use Research and the University of Portsmouth’s Department of Psychology. They concluded how many of these previous studies were flawed with "systematic biases" that may have skewed the results.The study authors noted how scientists in previous studies failed to control for certain factors that are typical for light and moderate drinkers – such as being "systematically healthier" and tending to have better exercise habits and dental hygiene, lower weight, and wealthier.

analysis, done by the Urban Institute and released Tuesday, found that people of color, renters, noncitizens, children and people living in Texas — the state that saw the nation's largest growth — were most likely to be missed, though by smaller margins than some had projected for a count conducted in the midst of a global pandemic. Still, those shortfalls could affect the drawing of political districts and distribution of federal spending.The analysis estimates there was a 0.5% undercount of the nation's population during the 2020 census.
