Statins and blood pressure drugs offset heart risks in obese adults over 40

A 25-year study published in The Lancet found that adults over 40 with obesity now have blood pressure and cholesterol levels comparable to those with a normal BMI. Researchers attribute this to the expanded use of statins and blood pressure medications, not the newer obesity drugs. The findings challenge the assumption that obesity always leads to worse cardiovascular outcomes.

NHTSA proposes removing brake pedal requirement for driverless vehicles

The US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has proposed a rule eliminating the requirement for manual brake controls in vehicles designed to operate exclusively with automated driving systems. Tesla and Zoox are among the companies that stand to benefit from the proposed change. Vehicles intended for human drivers would still be required to retain existing braking controls.

People considering tattoos should be aware of these ongoing uncertainties.

DNA analysis confirms Medici brothers died of malaria, not arsenic poisoning

Archaeologists have confirmed through ancient DNA analysis that two brothers from the powerful Medici family died of malaria rather than arsenic poisoning, as rumour had long suggested. The study also identified a unique, mutated strain of malaria that could shed light on how the disease evolved in Renaissance-era Europe. The Medici family rose to prominence in the 15th century, founding Europe's largest bank and bankrolling the Renaissance; at least five family members died of high fevers within 25 years in the 16th century.

Plugable 10-in-1 USB-C Hub turns a two-port laptop into a full desktop workstation

The Plugable USBC-10IN1E USB-C hub expands a laptop's connectivity from one or two ports to ten, adding HDMI output, Ethernet, USB-A ports, SD card slots and passthrough charging via a single cable. Tested with the MacBook Air M3, MacBook Pro M1 Max and Asus ProArt PZ14, it performed well across all machines. Its 109g space-grey metal body is compact enough for a laptop bag, though its 216mm length may not fit every backpack.

The model will now be available only as a standard hybrid. The decision is likely to disappoint buyers looking for zero- or low-emission options in the compact crossover segment.
