| Multivitamins 'of no benefit' to heart health A review of 18 studies of 2 million people over an average of 12 years finds no evidence that multivitamin and mineral supplements protect heart health. | Gene editing shown to lower cholesterol in monkeys In a first-of-its kind study, genome editing is proven to reduce 'bad' cholesterol in large animals. The findings pave the way for human clinical trials. |

| The best foods for boosting your immune system A strong immune system helps a person stay healthy by fighting off bacteria and viruses. In this article, we look at foods that can help to boost the immune system, including turmeric, ginger, garlic, kefir, green tea, and blueberries. We also cover the scientific reasons why these foods promote immune system health. |

| Are babies fully developed at 36 weeks? Full-term pregnancies last about 40 weeks. However, some women deliver earlier or later than this. This article investigates what happens when a baby is born at 36 weeks, which is known as late preterm. We look at the potential impact on the infant's development and discuss other possible complications. |
| Endocrinology |
| What to know about the antidiueretic hormone (ADH) test Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) is responsible for regulating the body's fluid balance. Doctors can use an ADH test to help diagnose underlying conditions that cause fluid and electrolyte imbalances, such as diabetes insipidus. In this article, learn about the test and the potential causes of high and low levels of ADH. |
| GastroIntestinal / Gastroenterology |
| Intermittent fasting may benefit people with MS Multiple sclerosis is a neurological condition with no known cure, so appropriate symptom management is crucial. Could intermittent fasting help? |
