newsIndia has approved QDENGA, marking the country’s first dengue vaccine and a major step in prevention. Wider vaccine access could reduce severe infections and hospitalizations, strengthening public health and immunity during dengue outbreaks.
scienceA hospital study found papaya-based pills may help maintain platelet counts during chemotherapy, though longer follow-up is needed. If confirmed, this could offer an affordable nutrition-adjacent option for cancer care and support treatment intensity, which may affect recovery and disease outcomes.
Researchers found food DNA in wastewater and could identify many plant and animal species people had consumed. This could become a useful tool for studying population diets at scale, with implications for gut health, metabolic risk, and nutrition policy.
scienceA new consensus now treats fatty pancreas as a distinct disorder rather than a harmless imaging finding. Better recognition may guide earlier diagnosis and management, which could help lower metabolic risk and reduce future diabetes and cancer complications.
newsDoctors are questioning the evidence behind a new U.S. military policy requiring annual testosterone tests for personnel over 30. Screening policies can affect hormonal health decisions, but they also need clear proof to avoid unnecessary testing and anxiety.
newsThe CIC has directed IITs to form high-level committees and publish the details on their websites to improve accountability around student suicides. Stronger campus mental health systems can support early intervention and reduce long-term wellbeing risks.
scienceExperts say mental health conditions can trigger diabetes, while poorly managed diabetes can worsen psychological distress. Coordinated care between endocrinologists and mental health professionals may improve blood sugar control, mood, and long-term disease risk.
newsAndhra Pradesh reported four RF.5 COVID-19 cases, and WHO is monitoring the sub-variant through routine genomic surveillance. New variant tracking matters for public health planning and can help guide infection control and vaccine strategy.
newsOnline sports nutrition sales are rising quickly across Asia Pacific, with India showing the fastest growth. The trend points to expanding demand for protein and performance products, which may influence exercise habits, recovery, and broader metabolic health.
newsMaharashtra has recorded 48 COVID-19 cases so far in 2026, with most cases appearing in June and July after years of low activity. Monitoring rising cases supports timely prevention measures and helps reduce broader disease risk.
scienceA study found that persistently high blood sugar can weaken immune function and damage blood vessels, increasing the chance of severe dengue in people with type 2 diabetes. Good glucose control may support immunity and lower complications from infection.
newsHealth authorities reported deaths more than doubled during the June heatwave. The finding underscores the need for hydration, cooling, and heat plans, especially for older adults; extreme heat also raises cardiovascular and overall mortality risk.
newsThe FDA approved a first-of-its-kind pill for people at high cardiovascular risk. It may expand treatment options alongside diet and lifestyle changes, with the goal of lowering LDL cholesterol and reducing heart disease risk.
healthNewborns are especially vulnerable during monsoon season, when infections and hygiene hazards increase. Simple steps like clean feeding practices, handwashing, and prompt care can protect immunity and support healthy development in the first 1,000 days.
scienceNew controlled studies show prolonged fasting triggers widespread changes across multiple organs. Understanding these effects can help people use fasting more safely and may matter for metabolism, energy balance, and overall disease risk.
newsOfficials said AB PM-JAY has enabled cashless care worth Rs 1.91 lakh crore through 37,000 hospitals. Wider coverage can improve access to timely treatment and reduce financial stress, supporting better population health and lower disease complications.
scienceResearchers reported micro- and nanoplastics in many patients with heart disease, including heart attack survivors. The findings add concern about plastic exposure and suggest a possible cardiovascular risk factor that could influence long-term heart health.
scienceA study warns climate change could slow progress against waterborne diseases, which already cause major illness and death in young children. Better water safety and sanitation are important for gut health and for reducing infectious disease risk in vulnerable communities.
newsWHO says there is positive news on Ebola vaccines and therapeutics, which could improve outbreak response and survival. Better prevention and treatment access strengthens public health protection and lowers infectious-disease risk.
scienceWHO says long-term air pollution exposure may contribute to dementia, and many cases could be preventable by reducing risk factors. Along with healthy eating, exercise and quitting tobacco, lowering pollution exposure may support cardiovascular and brain health.
