Article Synopsis
- BMI might not accurately reflect the risk of obesity-related cancer (ORC) because metabolic issues can exist at various BMI levels.
- A study of 20,593 postmenopausal women identified four types of metabolic health and found that those with metabolic dysfunction—regardless of weight—had an increased risk of ORC.
- The research showed that overweight and obese individuals, especially those with metabolic dysfunction, faced a higher risk of developing ORC compared to metabolically healthy individuals with normal weight.
Article Synopsis
- The Letter reports the most accurate measurement so far of the matter-antimatter imbalance during Pb-Pb collisions at a high energy level of 5.02 TeV.
- It utilizes the Statistical Hadronization framework to determine precise values for the electric charge and baryon chemical potentials, μ_{Q} and μ_{B}.
- The analysis of antiparticle-to-particle yield ratios shows that the collisions create a system that is generally baryon-free and electrically neutral at midrapidity.
Article Synopsis
- Lifestyle interventions, like diet and exercise, can improve physical function in younger cancer survivors (<60 years), but their effects on older survivors (≥60 years) are less understood.
- This scoping review analyzed existing research on diet and exercise's impact on physical function in older cancer survivors, reviewing 49 relevant studies out of nearly 20,000 articles.
- While most studies showed that these interventions helped maintain or boost physical function, the review highlighted gaps in research, such as the need for more focused trials on older survivors, particularly regarding diet and exercise combined.
The ALICE Collaboration reports the measurement of semi-inclusive distributions of charged-particle jets recoiling from a high transverse momentum (high p_{T}) hadron trigger in proton-proton and central Pb-Pb collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=5.02 TeV. A data-driven statistical method is used to mitigate the large uncorrelated background in central Pb-Pb collisions.
