Sleep apnea and erectile dysfunction share a stronger link than expected

A systematic review and meta-analysis of 8 observational studies found that greater obstructive sleep apnea severity was associated with poorer erectile function, with higher AHI linked to lower IIEF scores and higher minimum oxygen saturation linked to higher IIEF scores. The authors caution that the evidence remains observational, heterogeneous, and low certainty, so the findings support targeted screening rather than proving causality.

Yogurt, prebiotics, and probiotics link to lower colorectal cancer odds in U.S. adults

A national NHANES analysis of 9,405 U.S. adults aged 50 and older found that any yogurt, prebiotic, or probiotic consumption was associated with about 50% lower odds of self-reported colorectal cancer. Because the study was cross-sectional, it cannot prove causation but supports further research into microbiota-targeted dietary strategies.

Early skin-to-skin contact helps calm newborns but does not lower bilirubin

Early skin-to-skin contact after vaginal birth reduced newborn stress during routine vitamin K injection and improved exclusive breastfeeding rates by day 5. However, it did not significantly lower day-5 bilirubin levels, leaving its effect on neonatal jaundice uncertain.

Hidden costs push United States dementia toll to historic high

A new USC-led study finds Alzheimer's disease and related dementias will cost the United States an estimated $818 billion this year, driven largely by often-overlooked costs to persons living with dementia and family and friends providing their care.
