Anal cancer screening could cut cancer deaths by up to 65% among high-risk group, experts suggest

In Australia, an estimated 1 in 10 men experience mental health issues such as anxiety and depression before and after their child is born (the perinatal period).

If you've been on social media lately—perhaps scrolling in the middle of the night, when you know you shouldn't but you just can't sleep—you might have seen those videos promoting a get-to-sleep technique called "cognitive shuffling."

Gene editing could be used to treat millions of glaucoma patients. Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness, characterized by high pressure inside the eye. Patients often rely on daily eye drops to lower intraocular pressure, but the drops may cause significant complications including bradycardia, metabolic acidosis, and kidney stones. In addition, many patients fail to keep up with the eye drops.

AI can help public health agencies in the quest to end HIV. The United States is pursuing an initiative to end the HIV epidemic by 2030. To achieve this goal, public health agencies and organizations must remind the public about how best to avoid transmitting and acquiring the virus. Public health campaigns are costly, their effectiveness is seldom systematically assessed, and no systematic methods have been developed to build health campaigns in real-time.

A research team has successfully developed a three-dimensional (3D) brain model that closely mimics the structure and function of the human brain. The study was published in the International Journal of Extreme Manufacturing. The team was led by Professor Dong-Woo Cho (Department of Mechanical Engineering, POSTECH) and Professor Jinah Jang (Departments of Mechanical Engineering, IT Convergence Engineering, Life Sciences, and Interdisciplinary Graduate Program), in collaboration with Dr. Mihyeon Bae, and Dr. Joeng Ju Kim.

Ever find yourself unable to stop scrolling through your phone, chasing that next funny video or interesting post?

Bladder tumors that have been excluded from clinical trials have a few things in common that could lead to new therapies. Scientists at UC San Francisco have found a way to identify and possibly treat a mysterious type of bladder cancer that affects up to one in four cases.

Have you noticed that more children than ever are wearing glasses? Global research indicates 35% of children are affected by myopia, needing glasses to see clearly at a distance. If the trend continues, the number is expected to rise to 40%, or more than 740 million children, by 2050.

Researchers from George Washington University have uncovered promising evidence in an animal study that shows setmelanotide, an FDA-approved medication for a rare genetic obesity disorder, may offer a pathway for treating a life-threatening form of sleep-disordered breathing called Obesity Hypoventilation Syndrome.

Investigators at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology report walking more than 100 minutes per day was associated with a 23% lower risk of chronic low back pain.

Personalized drug treatments have outperformed chemotherapy for leukemia patients in a trial led by Leeds researchers. Newly published, long-term results of the UK-wide FLAIR trial could transform treatment for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), the most common form of leukemia in adults.

Tissue staining is a cornerstone of medical diagnostics, used to highlight cellular structures and render tissue features visible under an optical microscope—critical for identifying diseases such as cancer. Traditionally, this process involves applying chemical dyes, like hematoxylin and eosin (H&E), to thinly sliced tissue samples.

Camryn was diagnosed with a low-grade glioma at age two after her parents noticed a lazy eye. Sixteen years, 11 brain surgeries and over six years of chemotherapy treatment, Camryn is now transitioning from The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) into adult care.

Whether you have a rebellious personality or not, most people imagine they are better at overcoming pressure to violate their own principles than they really are, finds a new study.

Virtual escape rooms focusing on anatomy education concepts provide medical students with a fun, creative and challenging way to engage with classroom material, improve their critical thinking, and identify gaps in knowledge. The case study is published in Advances in Physiology Education and has been chosen as an APSselect article for June.

Even before he trained as an otolaryngologist, researcher Anthony Law understood that all of us are natural voice scientists with the intuitive power to hear people's voices and know something's wrong. "When I got COVID in 2021," he says, "within the first five seconds of our telephone conversation my mom knew something was wrong. She could hear it in my voice."

With the weather finally warming up and tempting people to get outside, a dermatologist is sharing a reminder to protect our skin from serious damage when we spend time in the sun.

Children on the autism spectrum, often at odds with their own emotions, may find help in an unlikely place: their own inner voice. A team from the University of Pittsburgh and collaborators tested a novel intervention designed to train autistic children in developing internal speech—and the results suggest it may reduce emotional dysregulation.
