Researchers Shine a Light on Compact Medical Sensing with a Self-Illuminating Optical Biosensor
Engineers from the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), the Barcelona Institute of Science and Technology, ETH Zürich, the Université de Strasbourg, National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, Yonsei University, and the Institució Catalana de Recerca i Estudis Avançats (ICREA) have joined forces to create the first self-illuminating optical biosensor — capable of operating without the need for an external light source.
Global warming may increase the burden of obstructive sleep apnea
High ambient temperatures are associated with reduced sleep duration and quality, but effects on obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) severity are unknown. Here we quantify the effect of 24 h ambient temperature on nightly OSA severity in 116,620 users of a Food and Drug Administration-cleared nearable over 3.5 years. Wellbeing and productivity OSA burden for different levels of global warming were estimated. Globally, higher temperatures (99th vs. 25th; 27.3 vs. 6.4 °C) were associated with a 45% higher probability of having OSA on a given night (mean [95% confidence interval]; 1.45 [1.44, 1.47]). Warming-related increase in OSA prevalence in 2023 was estimated to be associated with a loss of 788,198 (489,226, 1,087,170) healthy life years (in 29 countries), and a workplace productivity loss of 30 (21 to 40) billion United States dollars. Scenarios with projected temperatures ≥1.8 °C above pre-industrial levels would incur a further 1.2 to 3-fold increase in OSA burden by 2100.
Oligosaccharides in breast milk contribute to the formation of healthy intestinal flora in piglets.
We discovered that sialic acid-modified oligosaccharides (sialyllactose) abundant in pig milk contribute to the preferential intestinal colonization of lactobacilli. It was demonstrated that the utilization of sialic acid derived from sialyllactose by a type of lactobacillus, L. salivarius, shifts metabolism from lactic acid to acetic acid production, thereby inhibiting the proliferation of pathogenic Escherichia coli. In piglets raised on powdered milk (milk substitute), the colonization rate of L. salivarius was low, intestinal microbiota diversity was reduced, and diarrhea-like stools were observed. The addition of sialo-oligosaccharides to milk substitutes is expected to be implemented in pig farming as a new rearing technology through the improvement of intestinal microbiota in piglets.
Analysis of the characteristics of the gut microbiota of elderly Japanese patients with sarcopenia
A research group led by Professor Daisuke Asaoka, Professor Toshihiko Oka, and Professor Nobuhiro Sato of Juntendo University analyzed the gut microbiota of elderly men and women (398 individuals) who visited the Department of Gastroenterology at Juntendo Tokyo Koto Geriatric Medical Center.In male sarcopenia patients, a decrease in gut microbiota diversity and a reduction in the abundance of bacterial groups associated with butyrate production were confirmed. These bacterial groups showed a positive correlation with muscle-related indicators, suggesting a potential association with impaired muscle function.In contrast, no such association was observed in female sarcopenia patients, suggesting that the effects of gut microbiota on muscle function may differ between men and women. These findings suggest that controlling gut microbiota may contribute to sarcopenia prevention, highlighting the importance of dietary interventions and other strategies to maintain gut microbiota health. This study was published online in the journal Nutrients on May 21, 2025.
New Trends in Bread Nutritional Fortification: Comprehensive Analysis of Chemical, Physical, Functional, and Nutritional Properties
This review provides a systematic overview of the latest advances in bread fortification. It focuses particularly on fortification strategies for water-soluble/fat-soluble vitamins (B vitamins, vitamin D, etc.), bioactive components (phenolic compounds, polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), essential oils), and dietary fiber, as well as their effects on the physicochemical properties (viscoelasticity, texture) and health benefits (antioxidant activity, blood glucose control) of bread.Particular attention is given to the application potential of innovative technologies, such as microencapsulation, in addressing the trade-off between nutrient stability and sensory characteristics.

It is particularly beneficial for children and pregnant women, facilitating regular and accessible health assessments. We take pride in being the first hospital in India to implement this transformative initiative.” Harish Bisam added, “With AmruthSwasthBharath, health monitoring has become as simple as taking a selfie. Our mobile face scanning technology offers rapid access to crucial health information, effectively addressing existing barriers to healthcare access.”
Validate an evaluation scale that visualizes health-related QOL and physical and mental states in hospice residences using data
Yokohama City University and Japan Hospice Holdings Co., Ltd. conducted a comparative validation study of two assessment tools, EQ-5D-5L and IPOS, to evaluate the quality of end-of-life care in hospice housing and explore support methods that can address individual needs within limited medical resources.The results showed that EQ-5D-5L is suitable for quickly assessing overall quality of life with minimal response burden, while IPOS was found to more accurately capture psychological and emotional changes. These findings indicate that it is important to appropriately select and use the two scales depending on the evaluation objectives and the condition of the residents. This study was published in “BMC Palliative Care.”

Going forward, Hitachi plans to collaborate with pharmaceutical companies and academia to validate the effectiveness of this technology and contribute to overcoming intractable diseases.
Micromolding for surgical robotics can offer better functionality and lower costs.
Micro-molded plastics offer advantages over metal processing in terms of functionality, miniaturization, and automation for surgical robot components and instruments. While metals were the mainstream material in early medical devices, the increasing complexity of devices led to higher manufacturing costs for metal components.Advances in injection molding technology and the emergence of high-performance polymers have led to the widespread adoption of micro-molding in medical device manufacturing. In RAS systems, micro-molding is increasingly replacing metal for the production of intricate, complex structural components, driven by cost reduction and improved functionality. Viant has successfully developed micro-molding for components requiring electrical insulation in collaboration with medical device manufacturers.
Linear Diagnostics awarded £1m to develop rapid STI test
Birmingham-based spinout company Linear Diagnostics has secured £1 million in funding from the NIHR Invention for Innovation program to develop rapid testing technology for sexually transmitted infections (STIs).The funding will be used over a three-year project to advance clinical sample testing and prepare for clinical trials. Linear has developed an exponential amplification technology during the COVID-19 pandemic that can detect bacterial STIs, urinary tract infections, and viral infections in just five minutes.With the rise in antibiotic resistance, rapid testing for STIs has become increasingly important. The HRC and the North East Innovation Lab will collaborate on technology assessment and collect feedback from healthcare professionals and patients to improve the platform.

Scientists boost black cabbage’s health benefits with targeted fermentation
The study investigated the differences in nutritional and health benefits between fermenting black cabbage using lactic acid bacteria and yeast. Fermentation increased antioxidant activity and polyphenol content, as well as health-promoting substances such as short-chain fatty acids and γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA).Yeast fermentation reduced bitterness while enhancing sweetness and umami, and resulted in the greatest increases in polyphenol content and antioxidant activity. Additionally, fermentation improved the gut microbiota, suggesting potential health benefits. This study demonstrated that the selection of fermentation methods and microbial strains is crucial for enhancing the nutritional and functional properties of foods.
