AI system predicts early childhood cavities in individual teeth with high accuracy

If you bought a Crayan mattress on Amazon in the last two years, you may need to stop using it right away.

Chemotherapy seeks to destroy tumor cells and has been a standard treatment for cancer for decades. However, it doesn't always work. "Chemotherapy is good for some patients, but it's not effective in all cases. Between 20 and 50% of cancer patients don't respond to these drugs," explains Geoff Macintyre, head of the Computational Oncology Group at the Spanish National Cancer Research Center (CNIO).

Chocolate candy sold across the U.S. is being recalled because it may contain milk that isn't listed on the label, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said.

A new report showing high levels of depression (52%), anxiety (44%), body image issues (39%) and insomnia (30%) has prompted a call from public health advocates and researchers for more gender-targeted services to set a better standard of mental health care for Australian women.

Researchers at the Center for Medicinal Cannabis Research at University of California San Diego School of Medicine have found that cannabidiol (CBD), a non-intoxicating compound found in cannabis, could help reduce problematic behaviors in autistic boys. The results provide valuable insights into the potential benefits and limitations of CBD as a therapeutic intervention for autism.

It's only the first day of summer and record high temperatures are already being reported across much of the U.S. with a forecasted heat wave that could smash records in the Northeast and Midwest. That's prompted the American Heart Association, a global force changing the future of health for all, to issue important warnings about taking extra precautions to stay safe in extremely high temperatures.

A team of Northwestern investigators have developed a wearable and wireless sleep monitoring device that provides an in-depth analysis of different sleep stages and may improve the detection of sleep disorders, detailed in a recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Sleeping deeply into the afternoon after an all-nighter or a late night out is one way the body repays its sleep debt. The sleep-wake cycle is regulated by a homeostatic process in which the body continuously adjusts its physiological systems to maintain a balanced state of rest and alertness.

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have created a new way of telling aged human cells apart from younger ones using electric fields. While key markers have been found for these senescent cells, current methods require biochemical labels which are difficult to apply and affect the cells themselves, making them difficult to study. The new method is label-free and less damaging. The team aims to diversify the method, extending it to other cell types.

In The Gambia, a small country in West Africa, 1 in 10 newborns have a low birth weight—less than 5.5 pounds—and face daunting challenges. They are more likely to die within a month of birth or in their first year, and they experience higher rates of physical and cognitive impairment and higher risks of developing chronic health issues throughout their lives.

For the first time, scientists using cryo-electron microscopy have discovered the structure and shape of key receptors connecting neurons in the brain's cerebellum, which is located behind the brainstem and plays a critical role in functions such as coordinating movement, balance and cognition.

Lower blood sugar and increased fat burning—without negatively affecting appetite or muscle mass. These are some of the most promising effects of a new potential drug treatment for people with type 2 diabetes and obesity, according to a study published in the journal Cell by researchers from Karolinska Institutet and Stockholm University.

Over the past decade, health insurance companies have increasingly embraced the use of artificial intelligence algorithms. Unlike doctors and hospitals, which use AI to help diagnose and treat patients, health insurers use these algorithms to decide whether to pay for health care treatments and services that are recommended by a given patient's physicians.

A new study published in JAMA Network Open examines the relationship between the anatomical location of postcolonoscopy colorectal cancers (PCCRCs) and patient mortality outcomes within the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) system.

The House of Commons narrowly passed the terminally ill adults (end of life) bill on June 20, a significant step toward legalizing assisted dying in England and Wales. The bill must still pass through the House of Lords before it can become law. So far, the debate has centered on a key question: should people already facing a terminal prognosis have the legal right to choose when to end their lives?

This June, like every other, has been filled with talk of graduations, the scent of barbecue and Fathers' Day sales. But amid all the hype, we need to remember that June is also Men's Health Month—a vital, often overlooked, opportunity to shine a spotlight on the unique health challenges and preventative care needs of men. More than that, it's a critical time to urge men to prioritize their health and encourage their loved ones to support them in doing so.

Zhejiang University School of Medicine in China, along with American researchers, has found no link between late-life intake of sugar or artificially-sweetened beverages and all-cause dementia in older U.S. adults.

Motor neuron disease (MND) is a devastating condition that causes progressive muscle weakness by damaging the motor neurons, the nerve cells that connect the brain to muscles. These neurons allow us to move, breathe, eat and ultimately, stay alive.
