Research in the International Journal of Human Factors and Ergonomics has examined outpatient prescribing and found that overworked pharmacists as well as systemic workplace flaws can lead to dispensing errors. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), such errors remain a major and preventable cause of patient harm worldwide.
England has entered its fourth heat wave of 2025. Historical comparisons for our current weather situation have seemed to beach at 1976.
A surge in cases of a deadly flesh-eating bacteria that thrives in warm seawater is a chilling reminder of the potential danger associated with vacation pastimes like swimming and wading.
The mitochondria may be the powerhouse of the cell, but mounting evidence suggests this organelle is also a driving force behind cancer. Now, new evidence points to the mitochondrial metabolite glutathione, highlighting its central role in helping breast cancer cells break away from the primary tumor, travel through the body, and take root in other tissues.
The body's cells change their shape to close gaps such as wounds—with part of the cell flexing depending on the curve of the gap and the organization of cell-internal structures, a new study reveals.
A study co-led by researchers at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) and the University of Toronto's Temerty Faculty of Medicine has uncovered why some very-high-risk brain tumors are resistant to radiation—and identified a promising new strategy to overcome it.
Globally, rapidly aging populations give rise to increasing demand for home care services. The World Health Organization estimates that approximately 1.3 billion people worldwide require care due to aging or disability. In Hong Kong, due to rising health care costs and deeply rooted cultural norms that emphasize family bonding, caregiving is often performed by family members, which imposes heavy physical and mental strain.
Two studies led by Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center, Ludwig Center, and Johns Hopkins Whiting School of Engineering researchers report on a powerful new method that significantly improves the reliability and accuracy of artificial intelligence (AI) for many applications. As an example, they apply the new method to early cancer detection from blood samples, known as liquid biopsy.
A new study from Moffitt Cancer Center may offer a breakthrough for patients with advanced melanoma who don't respond to current immunotherapy treatments. The research, published in the Journal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer, found that adding a third immune-targeting drug to existing therapies helped shrink tumors in lab models of treatment-resistant melanoma.
Using a corkscrew, writing a letter with a pen or unlocking a door by turning a key are actions that seem simple but actually require a complex orchestration of precise movements. So, how does the brain do it?
Just as smart traffic management ensures smooth vehicular movement during peak hours, our body relies on a molecular traffic system to manage the surge in glucose levels after a meal. Pancreatic β-cells play a major role in this system by taking up glucose from the blood and triggering insulin release into the bloodstream. Inside these cells, glucose uptake is managed by glucose transporters (GLUTs)—proteins that move to the β-cell surface when blood glucose levels rise and facilitate the entry of glucose into the cell to kickstart insulin release.
A new comprehensive atlas of cells fills gaps in knowledge on how different cells in the intestine act together to drive celiac disease, potentially opening new avenues for future therapeutic intervention.
Hundreds of people may have been exposed to rabies after staying in cabins infested with bats at Wyoming's Grand Teton National Park.
There is a weak correlation between change in cognitive impairment and change in work productivity loss in adults with bipolar disorder, according to a study published online Aug. 4 in the Neuropsychopharmacology Reports.
The Texas measles outbreak that sickened 762 people since late January is over, state health officials said Monday.
Lymph nodes are a key part of the human immune system, whose primary function is to combat infections. The effectiveness of vaccines is based on their ability to trigger events in lymph nodes that lead to the development of an immune response that protects the host against pathogens.
A new wireless and wearable device developed by Northwestern Medicine scientists, in collaboration with Northwestern University spinout company, Epicore Biosystems, measures specific biomarkers in a person's sweat with similar accuracy to standard testing methods and has the potential to improve clinical decision-making for cystic fibrosis, as detailed in a recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Innovative intervention delivered by trained community health workers—meaning nonclinical personnel with deep knowledge of the community—increased treatment utilization among participating families with children who have ADHD, according to a pilot study published in the Journal of Attention Disorders. This intervention for parents and caregivers, covering topics that range from education about ADHD to discussions of stigma and barriers to care, intends to reduce inequities in access to evidence-based treatment and boost family engagement in ADHD care.
The Society for Cardiovascular Angiography & Interventions (SCAI) has published a new position statement that provides best-practice guidance for the treatment of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) using transcatheter occlusion (tcPDA) in premature infants.
