Study shows morning and afternoon slightly better than evening physical activity for diabetes prevention
New research published in Diabetologia shows that morning and afternoon physical activity are associated with a lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes across all population levels of education and income, but has found no statistically significant association between evening physical activity and risk type 2 diabetes. The study is by Dr. Caiwei Tian, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA, U.S., and Dr. Chirag Patel, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA. and colleagues.

Researchers discover potential treatment for nicotine dependence
New research from the University of Missouri School of Medicine suggests there may be another way to treat cigarette cravings. Researchers found that theta-burst transcranial magnetic stimulation (TBS)—strong, rapidly fluctuating magnetic field pulses that can affect brain activity—can lead to improved self-control, reduced cravings and as a result, less smoking.
