Most of us have heard of the Mediterranean diet and its many health benefits, but there's another European eating plan that could also help you live longer. It's called the Nordic diet, and it is based on the traditional foods of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden. It shares many elements with the Mediterranean diet, but it's essentially the cold-climate version. Sometimes it's called the 'Mediterranean diet of the north'. The meals are mainly plant-based and tend to emphasize long-established foods from the Nordic culture, such as fatty fish and root vegetables. This means favoring rapeseed oil over olive oil, oats and rye over wheat and rice, and pears and apples over oranges and bananas. Now, a new study adds to growing evidence that a healthy Nordic diet may help you live longer. Researchers in Denmark drew on health data from more than 64,000 middle-aged and older adults in Sweden and used it to emulate a long-term randomized trial comparing dietary interventions. Their hypothetical analysis estimates that strictly following a healthy Nordic diet could significantly lower the risk of dying from any cause over 24 years.

A trip to Mars may be more feasible than previously thought, suggests a new study led by Northwestern Medicine, UT Southwestern and UT Houston that tracked the heart function of 13 astronauts during roughly six-month missions aboard the International Space Station.

AbstractConventional cholesterol liposomes have poor stability, rapid clearance, and toxicity. This study used Rg3 to replace cholesterol for constructing curcumin-loaded liposomes (PCRL) and evaluated their potential for enhanced hepatocellular carcinoma therapy. Curcumin-loaded liposomes were prepared with Rg3 (PCRL) and cholesterol (PCCL) via thin-film hydration. Physicochemical properties, protein corona, in vitro behavior, in vivo tumor targeting, antitumor efficacy, and biosafety were assessed in H22 tumor-bearing mice. PCRL exhibited smaller particle size, superior storage/plasma stability, and comparable membrane packing to PCCL. Protein corona analysis showed reduced adsorption of immunoglobulin-like and complement proteins, prolonging blood circulation > 24 h and enhancing tumor accumulation.

AbstractPleural effusion is a common clinical finding with heterogeneous causes, including infection, malignancy, heart failure, tuberculosis, pulmonary embolism and systemic disease. Because patients often encounter pleural effusion as an imaging finding rather than as a diagnosis, short-video platforms may shape early understanding, anxiety and care-seeking behaviour. Evidence on the quality of this content is lacking. We conducted a cross-sectional content analysis of publicly available pleural effusion–related short videos on Douyin and Bilibili. The Mandarin search term “胸腔积液” (pleural effusion) was entered on 15 May 2026 and the first 150 results returned under each platform’s default ranking were screened.
