Every day, we're faced with constant opportunities for stimulation. With 24/7 access to news feeds, emails and social media, many of us find ourselves scrolling endlessly, chasing our next hit of dopamine. But these habits are fueling our stress—and our brains are begging for a break.
From collagen powders to immunity gummies, supplements are everywhere—in our Instagram feeds, on supermarket shelves and filling our bathroom cabinets. Promising better sleep, glowing skin, sharper focus or even a longer life, they're marketed as quick fixes for modern health woes.
The possibility of having a tool that facilitates population screening for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is getting closer. A multicenter study involving leading hospitals across Spain, led by Hospital del Mar and its research institute, has confirmed that people with COPD show altered levels of specific metabolites in their blood. This finding may make it possible to use these biomarkers to identify, at an early stage, those likely to have COPD.
Antonella Zanobetti was conducting groundbreaking research to examine links between exposure to environmental factors, such as pollution and heat, and deadly neurological and cardiovascular diseases. But three of her studies came to a halt with the Trump administration's mass cancelation of Harvard research grants in May.
A new preclinical study has found exposure to nanoplastics may contribute to the rapid progression of Alzheimer's disease and subsequent spread from the brain to other key organs such as the liver, heart and gut.
Fat. It seems we're always trying to avoid gaining it or avoid eating it. But, when it comes to dietary fats, some are actually good for our health—and some are essential. Alice H. Lichtenstein, senior scientist at the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University and the Stanley N. Gershoff Professor of Nutrition Science and Policy at the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy, offers the skinny on dietary fats.
A randomized controlled trial evaluated the efficacy of a weight-loss diet added to exercise on the change in hip pain among adults with hip osteoarthritis. The study found that adding a weight-loss diet did not change hip pain severity; however, it did benefit secondary outcomes including physical function, body weight, and other measures of pain.
Have you ever noticed how animals instinctively choose the ripest fruits in a tree? This behavior, of seeking out the most rewarding option, offers a fascinating glimpse into the workings of the brain. Animals not only focus their attention on the most rewarding target (the location of the ripest fruit), but they also make a rapid decision to act on that information. Interestingly, the behavioral and neural mechanisms underlying this process are relatively underexplored.
The University of Bath, in partnership with the University of Edinburgh, has conducted the most extensive growth and maturation study in world soccer, helping reshape talent development pathways for young players in Scotland.
A brief research report characterized loneliness severity in two national samples of people with disabilities (PWD). The study found that severe loneliness was highly prevalent in all disability types, with PWD reporting persistent feelings of loneliness at greater rates than the general population.
Times of major stress can impact a person's ability to think, but the stress response is not the same for all circumstances and ages. Those who become increasingly distressed will face decreasing reserves of compassion and patience, according to research from Washington University in St. Louis.
A new study has found that improving pre-hospital stroke identification accuracy in women to match that of men will lead to significant health benefits and cost savings for all Australians.
C. diff, which is short for Clostridioides difficile, is a type of bacteria that may cause serious problems in the digestive system. It is one of the most common causes of diarrhea linked to antibiotic use, particularly in hospitals and health care facilities.
Cell replacement therapy offers new hope for millions of people affected by retinal degenerations (RDs)—a group of blinding conditions caused by the loss of light-sensing photoreceptor cells in the retina. Among the most promising approaches is the transplantation of stem cell-derived partially differentiated photoreceptor cells, known as precursor cells, to replace those lost to disease. But a persistent hurdle remains: Many of the transplanted cells do not survive long enough to integrate or restore vision.
Police officers may face hundreds of traumatic incidents over the course of their careers, but many still hesitate to seek mental health support when they need it.
New research from The University of Toledo suggests that individuals with anemia may have a significantly higher risk of developing severe complications if they contract malaria. The findings were published this month in the peer-reviewed journal Infection and Immunity.
Lyme disease is an infectious disease caused by borrelia burgdorferi, a bacterial species that can spread to people and animals from the bite of a deer tick—also called a black-legged tick—carrying the bacteria, according to the Mayo Clinic.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced it will now be requiring updated safety labels for all opioid pain medications to better highlight the risks of long-term use, including misuse, addiction, and overdose.
Recent findings suggest that a personalized approach to recommending CPAP machines to patients with obstructive sleep apnea may decrease adverse cardiovascular events.
