Human-AI teams improve healthcare only when clinicians stay in control

A scoping review of 140 empirical studies found that human-AI collaboration in healthcare reports the most consistent benefits in diagnostic interpretation, especially when AI supports bounded tasks and clinicians retain final responsibility. Evidence remains fragmented across triage, treatment planning, and documentation, with few studies measuring patient outcomes, system impact, trust calibration, or governance in real-world settings.

Lost weight is less likely to return when exercise follows obesity treatment

A systematic review and meta-analysis of 11 randomized controlled trials found that exercise during the post-weight-loss maintenance phase reduced weight regain by an average of 2.81 kg compared with control groups. Evidence for fat-mass reduction remained inconclusive, highlighting the need for longer, standardized trials with better adherence and body-composition monitoring.

Early diabetes drug treatment links to better survival after diagnosis thresholds

A Korean target trial emulation found that starting antidiabetic medication within 12 months of newly crossing type 2 diabetes diagnostic thresholds was associated with lower five-year all-cause mortality. MACE risk was numerically lower with earlier treatment, but the reductions in cardiovascular events were not statistically significant, underscoring the need for larger studies.

Strength training plus cardio cuts type 2 diabetes risk the most

A 20-year prospective cohort study of 143,715 US healthcare professionals found that long-term resistance training was associated with a substantially lower risk of type 2 diabetes. The lowest risk was seen among participants who combined regular resistance training with adequate aerobic activity and limited TV viewing.
