People with severe gum infections might be able to forego antibiotics by taking low-dose aspirin and omega-3 fatty acid supplements instead. Patients' gum disease improved just as well with an aspirin and omega-3 treatment as it did with antibiotics, researchers reported recently in the Journal of Periodontology . “The result was surprising because the two therapies performed very similarly, paving the way for it to become a treatment option for these patients," said lead researcher [...]

People over 50 with belly fat and low vitamin D have a more than doubled risk of death, compared to folks without those conditions, researchers reported recently in the journal Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism. Although each condition is dangerous on its own, together they multiply a person’s risk of premature death, researchers [...]

SAO PAULO (AP) — The administration of Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva frequently touts how it has sharply slowed deforestation in the Amazon, and indeed it has. When the next official annual numbers are released in October, the deforestation rate is expected to be the lowest since 2012.

A new study suggests that vitamin D supplements may help improve the effectiveness of breast cancer treatment.

In the randomized study of 80 women ages 45 and older, 43% of those who took 2,000 IU of vitamin D daily experienced a complete disappearance of invasive cancer [...]

For many women, a sudden sneeze or a hearty laugh bring an unwelcome consequence: A small leak of urine. Often dismissed as a normal part of aging or motherhood, new research suggests the real culprit may lie deep within the abdomen. A study from the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar) in Brazil found that hidden fat stored between internal organs is a major driver of stress-induced urinary incontinence . The research — published recently in the European Journal of Obstetrics [...]

While relaxation techniques are often recommended for panic disorder, leaning into those intense physical sensations through exercise may be the superior treatment. A study published Feb. 8 in the journal Frontiers in Psychiatry found that brief, intermittent bouts of high-intensity exercise were significantly more effective at reducing the severity and frequency of panic attacks than standard relaxation techniques. The researchers, from the University of Sao Paulo Medical School in [...]
