In a prospective cohort study involving more than 130 000 US adults followed for up to 43 years, higher intake of caffeinated coffee and tea was associated with lower risk of developing and modestly better cognitive performance, as measured by both subjective and objective tests.

The inverse association was most pronounced at moderate intake, approximately 2 to 3 cups per day of caffeinated coffee or 1 to 2 cups per day of tea, while decaffeinated coffee intake showed no significant relationship to dementia risk or cognitive outcomes.

Adding coronary CT angiography (CCTA) data to traditional risk scores and coronary artery calcium scoring improved risk prediction for first coronary events over nearly 8 years of follow-up.

While the clinical impact was modest in a low-risk population, CCTA enhanced risk discrimination and reclassification, particularly among those considered low risk by conventional models.

💊 New single dose oral treatment for gonorrhoea effectively combats drug-resistant infections, trial finds.

The study found that one dose of zoliflodacin was as effective as the current standard treatment, which combines two antibiotics: an injection of ceftriaxone followed by an oral dose of azithromycin.
