Hay fever, also known as allergic rhinitis, is the condition responsible for seasonal allergies or allergic reactions to other environmental allergens. A new study describes a large-scale survey of hay fever sufferers, comparing those who use eye washing as a preventative measure. The study reports that those using eyewash experience improved symptoms. While eyewashes containing benzalkonium chloride as a preservative have been shown to exacerbate certain eye diseases, a preservative-free eyewash has a generally good safety profile and is endorsed for reducing symptoms of allergic conjunctival diseases. However, robust research was lacking on the use of eyewash for hay fever.

Connection between liver and brain in the context of metabolic liver disease revealed
A multidisciplinary research team has discovered that liver alterations associated with metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MASLD) can directly cause cognitive and neurological impairments, and that these effects can be reversed by a therapy exclusively targeting the liver. The findings establish the existence of a “liver-brain axis” that is not only clinically relevant but also therapeutically actionable. The study demonstrates that animal models of diet-induced metabolic liver disease show alterations in social memory and sensory processing, accompanied by dysfunctions in the hippocampus, a key region for memory and learning. Most promisingly, these alterations were reversed by treating the liver with.
