Recent research suggests certain medications taken by millions may be associated with a higher risk of dementia—especially strong anticholinergics (e.g., some overactive-bladder drugs), very long-term proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs) (evidence mixed), and frequent gabapentin use in specific groups. These are associations, not proof of causation, but they’re worth discussing with a […]

A Swiss research team has reported a novel injectable hydrogel that, when placed directly into weakened bone and paired with standard osteoporosis medicines, produced rapid, local bone densification in rats—up to ~4.8–5× at the injection site within 2–4 weeks. If future human trials confirm these results, the approach could become […]
