Patients who have a new type of lens implanted in their eyes during surgery for cataracts or to correct their eyesight have excellent or good vision over distances both near and far, and often no longer need spectacles for reading.

Physical sports have long been known to help with anxiety and mental health. But can augmented and virtual reality sports games improve psychological well-being and reduce loneliness? Researchers at Michigan State University's Department of Kinesiology say yes.

Researchers have successfully used artificial intelligence (AI) to predict which patients need treatment to stabilize their corneas and preserve their eyesight, in a study presented at the 43rd Congress of the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons (ESCRS).

The new class of anti-obesity drugs, glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs), is proving remarkably effective at helping individuals lose weight. However, a new population-wide study presented at the Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD), Vienna (15–19 Sept) finds that half of adults without diabetes who start taking the weight-loss drug semaglutide in Denmark discontinue treatment within a year.

The characteristics of type 2 diabetes vary from patient to patient and it has been proposed that the condition is made up of four subtypes. Now, new research presented at the annual meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) in Vienna, Austria (15–19 September) shows that smoking increases the risk of the condition, regardless of subtype.

The relative increase in odds of an individual with diabetes developing severe symptoms of depression—and vice versa—is the same, regardless of where they live, a study of over-50s in 18 countries in Europe presented at the Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) in Vienna, Austria (15–19 September) has found.

Every time humans cut into the Amazon rainforest or burn or destroy parts of it, they're making people sick.

Kissing bugs may sound charming, but with one bite, these insects can spread a dangerous parasitic infection: Chagas disease. Affecting more than 7 million people worldwide, mostly in Latin America, the disease should now be considered endemic or regularly occurring in the United States, according to a new report.

Noncommunicable disease (NCD) mortality decreased in most countries around the world from 2010 to 2019, according to a study published online Sept. 10 in The Lancet.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is taking new steps to regulate direct-to-consumer drug advertisements and eliminate misleading advertisements out of concern that patients are not receiving a "fair balance" of information on pharmaceutical products.

What compels someone to keep engaging in alcohol use, even if it damages their health, relationships and well-being? A new study from Scripps Research offers an important clue: a small midline brain region plays a key role in how animals learn to continue drinking to avoid the stress and misery of withdrawal.

Federal health officials intend to award a contract to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute to investigate whether there is a link between vaccinations and autism, according to a government procurement notice.

Although Black men die of prostate cancer at twice the rate of the rest of U.S. males, this fact often is not known or considered during appointments with their primary-care clinicians to discuss a common screening test.

An AI algorithm based only on routine mammogram images plus age can predict a woman's risk of major cardiovascular disease as well as standard risk assessment methods, finds research published online in the journal Heart.

A UCLA research team has found a new way to prompt the immune system to kill cells infected with cytomegalovirus (CMV), a life-threatening infection that is particularly deadly in immunocompromised people.

Nearly 50 new cancer therapies are approved every year. This is good news. "But for patients and their treating physicians, it is becoming increasingly difficult to keep track and to select the treatment methods from which the people affected—each with their very individual tumor characteristics—will benefit the most," says Dr. Altuna Akalin, head of the Bioinformatics and Omics Data Science technology platform at the Berlin Institute for Medical Systems Biology of the Max Delbrück Center (MDC-BIMSB).

A new PET tracer can provide insights into how spinal cord injuries affect not only the spinal cord, but also the brain, according to new research published in The Journal of Nuclear Medicine. By identifying synapse loss, the PET approach provides molecularly unique and complementary information to other structural imaging methods, offering a promising objective metric to evaluate novel therapeutics for spinal cord injuries.

Limited access and required funding are the key challenges facing health officials trying to respond to the latest Ebola outbreak in southern Congo, the World Health Organization said on Friday.
