Deepinder Goyal's healthtech startup Temple is raising capital at a $500 million valuation and pricing its temporal wearable at Rs 80,000. Worn on the side of the forehead, the device tracks microvascular blood flow and real-time Entropy to monitor physiological stress, metabolic expenditure, and recovery.

A UK Biobank study of 471,540 participants reveals that metabolic syndrome increases incident gastric cancer risk by 36% (HR=1.36). A positive trend was observed with accumulating metabolic components, with waist circumference showing the strongest association, highlighting modifiable risk targets.

Suboptimal participation in type 1 diabetes screening for high-risk children highlights a critical gap in preventive care. This study explores parental perspectives to identify barriers and develop theory-informed strategies to improve screening rates through behavioral change and family-centered support.

A 12-month exercise intervention in CKD patients showed minimal changes in bone turnover markers like PINP and TRAP5b. While physical performance improved, age was the only consistent predictor of bone mineral density and osteoporotic status, highlighting the complexity of bone health in chronic kidney disease.

The Uric Acid-to-HDL ratio (UHR) is emerging as a critical biomarker for hepatic steatosis in nonobese individuals. A recent NHANES study demonstrates that while UHR strongly correlates with liver fat, it may not indicate advanced fibrosis, offering a tool for early metabolic screening in lean populations.
