New Evidence Links Fibromyalgia to Immune System

A team of researchers from the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, the University of Liverpool and King’s College London has found that many symptoms of fibromyalgia occur when the antibodies in an individual increase the activity of pain-sensing nerves.

Brain Biomarkers May Help to Accurately Predict ADHD Diagnosis

Research that was published in Frontiers in Physiology has found that communication among different regions in the brain, which is referred to as brain connectivity, could possibly serve as a biomarker for attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (“ADHD”). For the study, researchers from the University of Buffalo in collaboration with the University of Cincinnati used machine-learning classifiers to identify grown-ups who had been diagnosed with ADHD during their childhood with 99% accuracy. The researchers note that these findings may be useful in helping clinicians find proper treatments that address the specific needs for each patient and may also increase the ease with…

Study Finds That Plant-Based Diets May Be Better for Heart Health

A recent study has discovered that diets rich in plant foods are better than low-fat diets when it comes to decreasing the risk of stroke and heart disease. The study monitored more than 5,000 Americans, with the scientists finding that individuals who ate diets low in saturated fat had lower LDL levels. Saturated fat is known to increase LDL cholesterol levels and is mostly found in animal products. LDL cholesterol, or low-density lipoprotein, is considered a bad cholesterol as it contributes to fatty buildup in the arteries. However, the researchers note that lower LDL levels didn’t translate to a lower risk…
