Share on PinterestRecent research has shown that high intake of ultra-processed foods may be associated with an increased risk of stroke. Liudmila Evsegneeva · Moment/GettyHealthy adults who consume high amounts of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) may be more likely to show signs of vascular brain injury, which has been linked to stroke risk and cognitive decline. UPFs account for more than 50% of daily energy intake in high-income countries such as the United States. People with the highest UPF intake had higher body fat levels and greater odds of vascular brain injury than those with the lowest intake. You can reduce UPF intake by making simple swaps toward whole foods, such as fruits, vegetables, and grains prepared at home. Healthy adults who eat high levels of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) may be more likely to show signs of damage to the brain that could increase the likelihood of stroke and future memory problems, according to a study published October 15 in JAMA Network Open. UPFs are often defined using the NOVA classification: These foods typically have 5 or more ingredients and include substances not typically found in culinary preparations.

Marine technician crosses world's roughest sea to document AntarcticaFor Andrew Naslund, Antarctica is his “favorite place in the world.”He’s a marine technician for Scripps Institution of Oceanography. And while not a professional photographer, he’s capturing Antarctica’s beauty along his research journey. Andrew Naslund, Scripps Institution of Oceanography marine technician.(Andrew Naslund)The researchNaslund spends months aboard a research vessel, the R/V Roger Revelle (AGOR 24), which he describes as “basically a floating laboratory.”“The purpose of this ship is to provide a platform for scientists to reach some of the most remote reaches of our oceans,” Naslund said. A big part of his role is assisting the scientists to safely deploy and recover their instrumentation over the side of the ship. He also keeps track of incoming data, ensuring the scientists are getting the information that they came out there to get. “[We’re] a mobile weather station. So anywhere that we travel in the world, we’re collecting meteorological weather data,” he says.
Background/objectives Maternal vaccination surveys often combine willingness and receipt, potentially obscuring differences between these measures. We quantified self-reported vaccine receipt, intention without receipt, complete reported receipt, and refusal in an urban Panamanian convenience sample and examined their relationship with vaccination recommendation. Methods We analyzed an anonymous cross-sectional survey completed from March 26 to July 25, 2026, by 204 pregnant women aged 18 years or older recruited in health-related settings in Panama City. Self-reported receipt meant reporting at least one maternal vaccine during the current pregnancy. Intention without receipt meant planning at least one vaccine without reporting receipt of any specific vaccine. Complete reported receipt was the independent response "already received all," rather than verified completion of a vaccination schedule. Modified Poisson regression with robust variance estimated prevalence ratios (PRs). A secondary, post hoc evaluation examined six rating items without claiming formal questionnaire validation. Results The number of women who chose self-reported receipt was 128/204 (62.7%; exact 95% confid
CANBERRA, Oct. 18 (Xinhua) -- Forensic scientists are exploring environmental DNA (eDNA), including airborne traces left by intruders in residential burglaries, as a new tool to help solve criminal cases lacking biological evidence. The study, led by Oslo University Hospital in Norway with collaborators at Flinders University in Australia, evaluated the possibility of finding viable evidence from 391 eDNA samples collected from air, dust and surfaces during simulated 15-minute residential burglaries, according to a statement released recently by Flinders University. The research found evidence of human intruder eDNA from air samples collected under controlled conditions, although recovery varied depending on factors including air temperatures, humidity, dust and existing household DNA. Researchers said the brief nature of burglaries, offenders' efforts to avoid detection and the difficulty of identifying where DNA traces were deposited may result in limited or absent biological evidence.
An oil terminal and a data centre belonging to the VK social networking service were reportedly among the targets of a drone attack on St Petersburg and the surrounding Leningrad region overnight into Sunday.
The attack is being described by Russian media as one of the largest on the area since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. One person was killed and 15 people were injured in the strikes, local officials said.
