Article Synopsis
  • Dietary guidelines suggest replacing animal protein with plant protein, but the optimal plant-to-animal protein ratio (P:A) for health benefits is still unclear.
  • The study analyzed data from three large cohorts totaling over 200,000 participants and found that a higher P:A ratio was linked to a significantly reduced risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and coronary artery disease (CAD), although it did not affect stroke risk.
  • Overall, the research indicates that increasing plant protein at the expense of animal protein can benefit heart health, particularly by substituting red and processed meats with plant-based options.

Article Synopsis
  • Cardiac rehabilitation programs can help patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (ASCVD) adopt healthier lifestyles, but there’s a need to explore strategies for reversing conditions like prediabetes and metabolic syndrome.
  • The DIABEPIC-1 study evaluated a 6-month enhanced rehabilitation program combining exercise with nutritional interventions, such as a Mediterranean diet and reduced ultraprocessed food intake.
  • Results showed high participation rates and significant health improvements, with half of the participants achieving prediabetes remission and 70% with metabolic syndrome also reaching remission by the end of the study.

Here, we report an ultrasoft extra long-lasting, reusable hydrogel-based sensor that enables high-quality electrophysiological recording with low-motion artifacts. The developed sensor can be used and stored in an ambient environment for months before being reused. The developed sensor is made of a self-adhesive electrical-conductivity-enhanced ultrasoft hydrogel mounted in an Ecoflex-based frame.

Dietary haem iron intake is linked to an increased risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D), but the underlying plasma biomarkers are not well understood. We analysed data from 204,615 participants (79% females) in three large US cohorts over up to 36 years, examining the associations between iron intake and T2D risk. We also assessed plasma metabolic biomarkers and metabolomic profiles in subsets of 37,544 (82% females) and 9,024 (84% females) participants, respectively.

The term oligomer refers to structurally diverse compounds coming from incomplete polymerisation or polymer degradation. Their ability to migrate into foodstuffs along with recent studies about their bioavailability and toxicity have risen concerns about the scarcity of standards needed to perform thorough analytical and toxicological studies. In this work, migration extracts of three starch-based biopolymers films for the packaging of fruits and vegetables were analysed according to European legislation 10/2011.
