Short bursts of vigorous activity can lower risk of major diseases People who get just a few minutes of vigorous activity daily are less likely to develop eight major diseases, including arthritis, heart disease and dementia, according to research published in the European Heart Journal today (Monday). The researchers carried out a detailed study of around 96,000 people, comparing their overall activity levels with the amount of vigorous activity and their subsequent risk of eight major diseases. They found that even short bursts of more intense activity, like running for the bus, lowered the risk of disease and death overall, but it was especially protective against inflammatory diseases, including arthritis; serious cardiovascular disease, such as heart attack and stroke; and dementia. The research was by an international team including Professor Minxue Shen from the Xiangya School of Public Health at Central South University, Hunan, China. We know that physical activity reduces the risk of chronic disease and premature death, and there is growing evidence that vigorous activity provides greater health benefits per minute than moderate activity. But questions remain about the importance of intense activity versus total physical activity. For example, if two people do the same total amount of activity, does the person who exercises more vigorously gain greater health...

CDC in Sierra Leone - Centers for Disease Control and Prevention | CDC (.gov) CDC’s global health security (GHS) work in Sierra Leone increases the country’s ability to detect, notify, and respond to disease outbreaks before they become global epidemics. CDC focuses on strengthening the country’s public health systems across surveillance, laboratory, workforce development, and emergency response. CDC provides expertise and support to MOH, NPHA, and other government institutions to strengthen GHS in Sierra Leone. Sierra Leone launched NPHA in December 2023, enabled by CDC’s technical and financial support. NPHA serves as a central coordinating structure for public health functions. Disease surveillance CDC supported Sierra Leone’s development and implementation of a national electronic Integrated Disease Surveillance and Response system. This includes a reporting system for priority diseases. CDC also supported the establishment of an electronic case-based disease surveillance information system (eCBDS) that reports case-level data. The eCBDS tracks epidemic-prone disease outbreaks and covers both COVID-19 and all epidemic-prone priority disease reporting. The electronic reporting system and eCBDS are key assets to Sierra Leone’s COVID-19 response. All districts now have established disease reporting structures for timely communication of potential disease outbreaks. Laboratory systems strengthening CDC has supported laboratory strengthening in Sierra Leone by training laboratory technicians and investing in the Central Public Health Reference Laboratory...

India launches new yoga protocols to fight lifestyle diseases The Union Ayush Ministry has launched a comprehensive “Yoga Protocol for Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) and Target Groups”, in a significant push towards reshaping the country’s healthcare narrative from treatment to prevention. Launched during the Yoga Mahotsav 2026 earlier this month by Union Ayush Minister Prataprao Jadhav, the initiative is being seen as a timely intervention to tackle various lifestyle diseases. The initiative has been developed by the World Health Organisation Collaborating Centre for Traditional Medicine (Yoga) (WHOCCIND 118), at the Morarji Desai National Institute of Yoga under the Ministry of Ayush. The protocols are designed as structured, evidence-based modules that integrate Yogic practices into daily life in a simple, accessible, and scalable manner. India today faces an alarming rise in non-communicable diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular ailments, chronic respiratory conditions, and mental health disorders, an official source said. According to recent estimates, these conditions now account for nearly two-thirds of all deaths in the country, signalling a clear epidemiological shift from infectious diseases to lifestyle-driven illnesses. With a growing burden of mortality attributed to NCDs each year, the urgency for preventive solutions has never been greater, the source underlined. It is in this context that the new yoga protocols...

CDC in Pakistan | Global Health - Centers for Disease Control and Prevention | CDC (.gov) Pakistan’s National Public Health Institute (NPHI) strengthens the country’s capabilities to detect and respond to health threats. NPHI partners with other institutes to focus on research, environmental and occupational health, nutrition, non-communicable diseases, and vaccines. CDC helped Pakistan complete the Joint External Evaluation (JEE) in 2016 and 2023. The JEE evaluates public health capacities to help countries understand gaps in their national health security and focus on closing them. CDC’s efforts help Pakistan increase capacities for disease surveillance, laboratory systems, workforce development, and emergency management and response. Disease surveillance CDC strengthens influenza surveillance in Pakistan through a cooperative agreement with the Pakistan NIH. Since 2004, five surveillance sites were established to conduct surveillance for influenza-like illness in outpatient settings. These sites also conduct surveillance for severe acute respiratory illness among hospitalized patients. Pakistan is the only country where extensively drug-resistant typhoid fever is regularly occurring. CDC works with local government, Field Epidemiology Training Program, and health security partners to expand surveillance for typhoid and waterborne diseases. The agency also enhances typhoid prevention and response efforts. CDC engages in several projects related to many bacterial diseases in Pakistan. Laboratory strengthening The Global Laboratory Leadership Program (GLLP) began its first phase in...

Nutrition in Liver Disease: 5 Actions That Improve Outcomes This transcript has been edited for clarity. Hello. I’m Dr David Johnson, professor of medicine and chief of gastroenterology at Eastern Virginia Medical School/Macon & Joan Brock Virginia Health Sciences at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia. Today I’d like to discuss the most recent American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) clinical guideline, entitled Malnutrition and Nutritional Recommendations in Liver Disease. You may have seen coverage of this guideline already. My impression, however, was that some of the key messages weren’t emphasized strongly enough. Therefore, I wanted to share what I consider five important take-home messages from this excellent guideline. Don’t Overlook Malnutrition The first point is that malnutrition in patients with liver disease is frequently underrecognized. This can occur for several reasons. Weight can be masked by fluid retention, making it appear stable even as patients lose muscle mass. Ascites can increase abdominal girth. Some patients can be obese but still experience significant muscle wasting, known as sarcopenic obesity. The loss of skeletal muscle is very important, as limited glycogen stores predispose patients with advanced liver disease to enter a starvation state; even a few hours of fasting can trigger protein catabolism. Malnutrition is a broad concept. It includes not...

Huntington's Disease Is a Relentless, Neurodegenerative Condition - But Treatment May Soon Be Possible In the spring of 1872, a young physician in New York published a paper about “chorea,” a condition that caused people to lose their ability to speak, control movements, and behave. He noted that the condition was hereditary and seemed to affect adults in mid- to late life. Huntington’s Disease was later named after the physician, and in the 154 years since George Huntington provided the first clinical description, scientists have learned more about the neurodegenerative disease. But they have not been able to find a cure. Recently, a promising new gene therapy has helped slow disease progression in clinical trials. Advocates are hopeful it could help Huntington’s patients live longer, better lives. Read More: 5 Neurological Diseases and the People Who Discovered Them What Is Huntington’s Disease? Huntington’s Disease is a neurodegenerative disease with symptoms that typically begin in a person’s forties or fifties, according to a report in GeneReviews. The disease is hereditary, so a person with a parent who has Huntington’s Disease has a 50 percent chance of developing it themselves. With Huntington’s Disease, a person experiences a loss of motor and cognitive functions. Early symptoms might include involuntary movements like sudden jerks or spasms. As the...

Buntanetap: From Execution Poison to Potential Alzheimer's Disease Drug Deep in the forests of modern-day Nigeria and Cameroon, a vibrant ethnic group called the Efiks had a seed that could end a life in minutes. The pod of Physostigma venenosum, better known as the Calabar bean, determined whether a person accused of a crime was innocent or guilty, with innocence decided by survival. Crushed and mixed with water, the potion was given to the accused in this trial by ordeal, and those who vomited it walked free. The less fortunate ones would die after ingestion, proclaimed guilty as charged. When Scottish physician Robert Christison obtained specimens of the Calabar bean in 1855, he tested it, as Victorian scientists sometimes did, on himself, chewing a piece, experiencing its effects, and then quickly washing his mouth with water to avoid a fatal dose. His observations helped launch a pharmacological investigation that would span the next century and a half.1 In 1864, two chemists, Julius von Jobst and Oswald Hesse, isolated its active compound, physostigmine. Within decades, it was in clinical use for glaucoma. By the 1970s, researchers were wondering whether it might have more to offer. Today, researchers are studying a molecular descendant of that poison in clinical trials for Alzheimer’s...

Diverse biobank study links genetics to disease risk and treatment A new study by UCLA Health published in Cell presents a major advancement in the future of personalized medicine by pinpointing new connections between people's genes, disease risk and medicine response by using a clinically well-characterized and diverse population-represented biobank. By analyzing genetic data and electronic health records from 93,936 participants in the UCLA ATLAS Community Health Initiative Biobank, the research demonstrates how studying a broad range of ancestries within a single health system can reveal insights that may not emerge from less diverse datasets. This includes a striking new finding that genetics can predict how well patients respond to GLP-1 drugs for weight loss purposes. The analysis showed that treatment response to GLP-1 drugs varied across ancestry groups and was associated with a person's genetic risk for type 2 diabetes. By integration with published proteomics, or sets of proteins produced by an organism or cell, from patients treated with these drugs, they were able to identify a genetic association of semaglutide response with the gene PTPRU. This finding provides the first evidence of a genetic link and supports further investigation of its activity. They were also able to replicate many previous studies in these data, highlighting UCLA Health's high-quality...

Trump's detention expansion: disease, secrecy, and 'unbelievably inhumane' conditions in Texas A congressional oversight visit, internal government communications, and public health data are drawing renewed scrutiny to federal immigration detention facilities in Texas, where lawmakers, local officials, and medical experts describe unsafe conditions, limited transparency, and outbreaks of infectious disease linked to the Trump administration’s expanding detention system. U.S. Rep. Kelly Morrison conducted an unannounced visit Monday to Camp East Montana, a large federal detention site located outside El Paso that has received detainees transferred from Minnesota following arrests tied to Operation Metro Surge. The complex, built last summer on the grounds of a former World War II detention site for Japanese Americans at Fort Bliss, consists of five tent structures capable of holding up to 5,000 people. Morrison said conditions inside the facility raised serious concerns about the treatment of detainees and access to care. “These are unbelievably inhumane conditions,” Morrison said in an interview. According to Morrison, each tent is divided into windowless rooms where as many as 72 detainees may be held continuously, with individuals allowed outside for only one hour each day. Attorneys, detainees, and journalists have described problems including worms found in food, leaking roofs, and limited access to medical services. Andrea Pedro-Francisco, who was transferred...

Just 5 more minutes of exercise, 10 more of sleep may lower heart disease risk - Medical News Today A new study examined how smaller lifestyle changes impact cardiovascular health. The research team followed more than 50,000 people for around 8 years and tracked habits such as sleep, nutrition, and exercise. At the end of the study, the researchers learned that even modest lifestyle habit changes across multiple areas were beneficial to heart health. The findings suggest that focusing on multiple, manageable lifestyle changes may be more effective and sustainable than trying to make a large change in a single area. Researchers based in Australia used data from the U.K. Biobank to see how changes in daily habits affect heart health. Since heart disease is often affected by modifiable lifestyle factors, such as diet and exercise, these factors are often among the first things healthcare providers target when heart health issues arise. Since large lifestyle changes can be difficult to maintain, the researchers wanted to find out whether smaller, combined changes could still improve heart disease risk. Their findings are published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), heart disease is the top cause of death in the United States. While genetics can factor into developing heart disease, many...

Meningococcal Disease Has Been Increasing Since 2021 in Adults and Children Case scenario: You are coming on shift to cover pediatric patients at a local emergency department during a busy respiratory virus season. When you check on a febrile 4-month-old, the mother describes the patient as “really sleepy,” with poor feeding and one episode of stiffening that lasted 10 seconds. Concerned that this may be a quickly evolving infection with neurologic complications, you proceed to order antibiotics, send blood and urine cultures to the lab, and obtain a lumbar puncture. When the needle enters the intervertebral space, fluid flows speedily into the waiting collection tube. You note, with your heart beginning to pound a little faster, that the cerebrospinal fluid is yellow, turbid, and viscous. The cerebrospinal fluid PCR test indicates the patient is positive for Neisseria meningitidis, and you realize that you have both a patient care and public health response to initiate in this serious situation. According to the most recent CDC data in the United States, rates of meningococcal disease have been increasing since 2021 and surpassed pre-pandemic levels in 2024. Around 500 people per year are diagnosed with invasive meningococcal disease in the United States, with the most severe outcomes in children less than 1 year of...
