Australian births with continuity of obstetric-led care in private hospitals have significantly fewer adverse outcomes and cost less than births in public hospitals with care by multiple health professionals and limited continuity, Monash University-led research has found.
As the age-old proverb rightly states, "You are what you eat." A balanced diet lays the foundation for healthy living and disease prevention. However, a "one-size-fits-all" approach may not work, given the biological, cultural, socioeconomic, and lifestyle differences. Moreover, gender and age can dramatically influence dietary preferences.
Folks seeking relief from low back pain in an ER aren't likely to leave with a prescription for opioids.
GLP-1 weight-loss drugs like Ozempic and Zepbound are so effective it might seem that a person can lose weight without doing anything at all.
GLP-1 weight-loss drugs are changing how people date and connect. In a nationally representative survey of 2,000 single U.S. adults (ages 18 to 91) led by the Kinsey Institute at Indiana University with DatingNews.com, GLP-1 users reported a wide range of physical, social, and psychological shifts they attributed to the drug.
The National Cancer Center Research Institute in Tokyo reports that a newly isolated gut bacterium, designated Hominenteromicrobium strain YB328, mobilizes specialized dendritic cells to strengthen the impact of PD-1 blockade immunotherapy across several tumor types.
A new study from UC San Francisco challenges the traditional view of how the brain strings sounds together to form words and orchestrates the movements to pronounce them.
Innovative virtual eye clinics in shopping centers could significantly reduce waiting times for routine eye appointments, UCL-led research suggests in a first-of-its-kind study.
A new Yale study has revealed that neurons—the energy-hungry cells that connect and direct activity in the brain—are equipped with "backup batteries" that kick in to keep the brain running during periods of metabolic stress.
Hemorrhagic strokes account for just 13% of the nearly 800,000 strokes that occur in the U.S. each year, yet they are responsible for more than 40% of all stroke-related deaths. These devastating brain bleeds have long lacked standardized surgical treatment protocols, limiting patient recovery options.
A study led by the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) shows that bee venom apitoxin alters the functioning of blood vessels, even at low concentrations. Researchers also identified an important molecular pathway of oxidative stress involved in this effect, which in turn opens the door to exploring its therapeutic potential.
Personalized exercise guidance is needed for people living with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), the most common type of blood cancer, according to a new study led by the University of Surrey.
Illegal opioids can create substantial harms, but the extent of those harms depends on multiple factors, including the amount consumed. In a new study, researchers assessed whether opioid consumption intensity varies appreciably over time or context. They found that intensity—as opposed to prevalence—of illegal opioid use varies enormously. These findings have implications for drug treatment and policy.
Around 8% of all births in England are preterm. Despite improvements in neonatal care and survival, preterm children still have more difficulties in later life than their peers, including a higher risk of mental health problems, which have not improved in recent decades.
Premature menopause has been described as a life-changing diagnosis with profound physical, psychological, and social consequences. Affected women not only experience the effects of estrogen deficiency, but they also experience the unanticipated loss of reproductive function.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the federal government enabled schools to provide all children, regardless of need, with free meals to address nutrition and food insecurity. While program participation increased, many students declined the free meals, missing out on potential health and academic benefits.
After 30 years of health improvements around the world, funding cuts to global health could put lifesaving health care at risk between now and 2030, according to the latest annual report, Financing Global Health (FGH), released by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) at the University of Washington School of Medicine in Seattle.
Optum and Illumina Inc. researchers documented that less than half of patients with newly diagnosed advanced cancers received any biomarker testing before starting treatment, a gap that persisted despite established guidelines recommending such assessments to guide therapy selection.
Respiratory infections such as COVID-19 have been responsible for numerous pandemics and have placed a substantial burden on health care systems. Such viruses can cause significant damage to our lungs, especially to the proximal region, or airway, and distal region, also known as the alveoli.
