Children of fathers who were categorized as obese or overweight based on their body mass index (BMI) around the time of conception are more likely to develop obesity themselves, according to new research from the University of Toronto that is reshaping how we understand paternal influence on child health.
26 June 2025, Cairo, Egypt – On International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking, marked on 26 June, the World Health Organization (WHO) is highlighting the drug trade’s devastating effects on the health and well-being of populations. Drug use impacts security, safety, and development, costing some countries up to 2% of their GDP due to health-related expenses, crime, and lost productivity. Beyond its economic burden, drug use constitutes a significant public health issue, linked to a range of health issues, including mental health conditions, hepatitis, tuberculosis, and cardiovascular diseases. Despite these public health implications, drug use has been overwhelmingly addressed through a law enforcement and supply restriction lens, using strategies that reinforce stigma and overlook the health dimensions of the issue. Globally, an estimated 292 million people (5.6% of those between 15 and 64) used drugs in 2022. There are 64 million individuals suffering from drug use disorders. In 2022, in the Eastern Mediterranean Region, an estimated 6.7% of the population aged between 15 and 64 years used drugs, and more than 3.4 million people suffered from drug use disorders. Despite the alarming levels of substance use, and the fact that investing in substance use treatment offers returns of between US$ 4–12 for every dollar spent, in 2022, only 1 in 11 individuals with drug use disorders globally, and 1 in 13 in the Region, received treatment. To reduce morbidity, mortality, and the social costs associated with substance use disorders, the WHO Regional Office for the Eastern Mediterranean launched the “Regional Flagship Initiative on Read more...

Muldoon, a baby boy born without the ability to process dietary protein properly, had become the first person to be treated with a customized gene-editing therapy. Based on a technology developed by Broad Institute core member David Liu's laboratory, the treatment is the first in a series of new medicines being tested to treat rare diseases by repairing patients' particular genetic misspellings.
Brightly colored, inexpensive and disposable electronic cigarettes and vapes continue to gain popularity. These devices turn flavored nicotine-containing liquid into a vapor that people inhale over hundreds or thousands of puffs—commonly called vaping.
A team of engineers at the University of California, Los Angeles, working with a colleague from K Medical LLC, has developed a pressurized mattress that reduces the likelihood of developing bed sores for bedbound patients. In their paper published in the journal Science Robotics, the group describes how they developed their new mattress and how it can be used to help patients.
The human brain is known to store various memories for long periods of time, progressively learning from new experiences and forming adaptive representations that ultimately guide decision-making and behavior.
