Researchers at The University of Alabama in Huntsville report that continuous low-intensity ultrasound can alter macrophage gene activity in ways consistent with moving these immune cells away from prolonged inflammation and toward a more tissue-repairing state. The findings, published in Scientific Reports, suggest a potential noninvasive strategy that could eventually be tested for reducing post-traumatic osteoarthritis risk after joint injury.
A new study indicates that many TikTok videos about gout provide inaccurate or incomplete information, often emphasizing diet over essential medical treatments. Researchers analyzed 200 videos and found that long-term therapies are rarely mentioned, potentially leading to harmful misconceptions. The findings highlight the platform's role in health information and the need for more professional input.

A traditional Brazilian plant known as Joseph's Coat has demonstrated significant anti-inflammatory effects in laboratory studies, potentially offering a new natural treatment for arthritis. Researchers from three Brazilian universities confirmed the plant's ability to reduce swelling and protect joint tissue while showing a safe profile at tested doses. However, further clinical trials are needed before human use.
