PNOĒ, a Malden, Massachusetts-based company with operations in Athens, Greece, is releasing the PNOĒ 2.0, a mask-based device that measures oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide output without requiring a trained operator. CEO Apostolos Atsalakis said users can simply wear the mask, press a button, and breathe for eight minutes to get results. The device builds on metabolic testing technology long used to measure VO₂ max in sports labs and hospitals.

A new review synthesizes the evolving treatment landscape for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), the liver disease formerly called NASH, drawing on updated epidemiological data, revised diagnostic terminology, and studies on liver fibrosis assessment. It outlines existing approaches alongside emerging therapies aimed at addressing the disease's metabolic, cardiovascular and cancer-related complications.

A newly compiled research review synthesizes recent findings on metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and its more severe form, MASH, tracing the field from its 1980 origins as NASH to the 2023 multisociety nomenclature update. It highlights recent multiomic and genetic studies showing that MASLD is not one uniform disease but splits into at least two distinct subtypes—one driven mainly by liver-specific factors and another tied to broader cardiometabolic dysfunction. The review also draws on global epidemiological data covering adult, pediatric and adolescent populations to frame the disease's rising burden.
