March 11, 2021, CLEVELAND: A Cleveland Clinic-led team of researchers has discovered a new tissue infection associated with Crohn s disease. According to study results published in
Science, a type of yeast commonly found in cheese and processed meat is elevated in areas of unhealed wounds in Crohn s disease patients, a discovery that may point to new treatment or prevention approaches for the common inflammatory bowel disease.
The work was led by Thaddeus Stappenbeck, M.D., PhD., chair of Cleveland Clinic Lerner Research Institute s Department of Inflammation and Immunity. The team, which also included researchers from Washington University, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and Dartmouth College, found that levels of the yeast Debaryomyces hansenii are higher

People living with a patient undergoing an intensive weight loss treatment also benefit from this therapy. This has been demonstrated by a team of researchers from the Hospital del Mar Medical Research Institute (IMIM-Hospital del Mar) along with doctors from Hospital del Mar and the CIBER on the Physiopathology of Obesity and Nutrition (CIBERObn), in collaboration with IDIAPJGol, the Pere Virgili Health Research Institute (IISPV), IDIBELL, IDIBAPS and the Sant Joan de Reus University Hospital. The study has been published in the journal
International Journal of Obesity.
The study analysed data from 148 family members of patients included in the weight loss and lifestyle programme PREDIMED-Plus (PREVencióDIetaMEDiterranea Plus) over a two-year period. The researchers analysed whether these people also indirectly benefited from the programme, as they were not enrolled in the study and did not receive any direct treatment. PREDIMED-Plus is a multicentre study in which a g

BUFFALO, N.Y. New research from the University at Buffalo suggests that breast cancer patients who drink sugar-sweetened beverages regularly are at increased risk for death from any cause and breast cancer in particular.

The findings were published online ahead of print March 2 in
