A pill that prints bio-ink for damaged tissue repair

New research from the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience (IoPPN) at King's College London has highlighted the important role that emotions play in the onset and persistence of psychosis.

New research by UCLA Health has found a simple blood test could provide faster and more accurate diagnosis of ALS by measuring cell-free DNA. The noninvasive test could not only allow neurologists to rule out other neurological diseases but also detect ALS disease earlier to provide better treatment and potentially improve life expectancy.

Using medical data from sick patients while they're still at home, traveling in an ambulance and receiving care in the emergency room, researchers at Northeastern have used artificial intelligence to build a tool that predicts life-threatening septic shock with 99% accuracy.

The faster a child takes bites during a meal or snack, the greater risk they have for developing obesity, according to researchers in the Penn State Department of Nutritional Sciences. But research into this association is often limited to small studies in laboratory environments, largely because counting a child's bite rate is difficult; it requires someone to watch videos of a child eating and manually record each bite.

In August, an 80-year-old woman walked into the emergency room at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center. She was lucid but experiencing a stroke. Within minutes, doctors asked for permission to pull out the stroke-causing clot before any more brain damage could occur.

Researchers at Stanford and a Pennsylvania county are investigating new methods to minimize costly and harmful psychiatric holds.

A new clinical trial co-led by researchers at FutureNeuro and RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences is investigating how advanced brain monitoring could improve the diagnosis and management of epilepsy.

A new fast and convenient approach to scintigraphy-based monitoring allows physicians to efficiently and reliably assess prostate cancer progression or regression during treatment. With this strong prognostic information, treatments for prostate cancer patients can be personalized according to tumor evolution, significantly impacting their overall survival.

As cancer survivorship rises, many people living with or beyond cancer face lasting physical and emotional challenges—particularly anxiety and depression, which affect about 30% of this population. Emotional distress is often unspoken, leading to fear, despair, and diminished quality of life.

Art Martinez, a clinical psychologist and member of the Chumash Tribe, helped run an American Indian youth ceremonial camp. Held at a sacred tribal site in Northern California, it was designed to help kids' mental health. He remembers a 14-year-old girl who had been struggling with substance use and was on the brink of hospitalization.

The surface of the lungs is covered with a fluid that increases their deformability. This fluid has the greatest effect when you take deep breaths from time to time, as researchers at ETH Zurich have discovered using sophisticated measurement techniques in the laboratory.  

Patients placed on mechanical ventilation are commonly put under deep sedation, to ease the stress and discomfort of having a machine breathe for them.

Could a future vaccine against cancer be made better by an immune-boosting virus? Very likely, say Canadian scientists, who've proven its effectiveness in experiments on mice.

Researchers at Tufts University School of Medicine and Tufts Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences have found a surprising connection between a fungus associated with alcohol use disorder and the brain's dopamine reward pathway.

People who feel supported by family, friends and colleagues tend to have better mental health, perform more effectively at work and experience positive outcomes in other areas such as physical health, education and risk-taking behaviors, according to research published in the journal Psychological Bulletin.

Identifying the neural mechanisms that support the regulation of vital physiological processes, such as drinking, eating and sleeping, is a long-standing goal within the neuroscience research community. As the disruption of these processes can severely impact people's health and everyday functioning, uncovering their neural and biological underpinnings is of the utmost importance.

Researchers led by Wake Forest University School of Medicine and Atrium Health have judged the certainty of evidence on behavioral therapies for irritable bowel syndrome to be low to very low as many published trials show publication bias and methodological risk of bias.
