The Gambia reported an outbreak of mpox Tuesday with detection of a single case, as several nearby countries have recorded recent increases in infections.
The U.S. is developing new safeguards for the organ transplant system after a government investigation found a Kentucky group continued preparations for organ donation by some patients who showed signs of life, officials told Congress Tuesday.
People with any type of substance use disorder (SUD) stand a 24% higher risk of having an unplanned hospital readmission within 30 days of a previous discharge compared with those without the disorder, new UCLA-led research finds. The findings were published in the Addiction.
Recent laws instituted in the United States substantially cut funding to many government programs, especially those related to health or social well‐being.
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a well-known cause of infections in children, but it's understudied in older individuals. In a retrospective study published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, adults aged 65 and older hospitalized for RSV in Ontario, Canada experienced significantly higher rates of adverse outcomes such as longer length of hospital stay, transfer to intensive care, and 30‐day mortality, compared with patients hospitalized with influenza, urinary tract infection, or fracture.
A review published in Advanced Science highlights the evolution of research related to implantable brain-computer interfaces (iBCIs), which decode brain signals that are then translated into commands for external devices to potentially benefit individuals with impairments such as loss of limb function or speech.
In a wholly new approach to cancer treatment, Northwestern University biomedical engineers have doubled the effectiveness of chemotherapy in animal experiments.
Researchers employed a machine learning technique known as random forest analysis and found that it significantly outperformed traditional methods in predicting which hospitalized patients with cirrhosis are at risk of death, according to a paper published in Gastroenterology.
The annual UK cost of the mental health disorder PTSD is likely to top £40 billion, but the figures are based on 2020–1 prevalence rates—the most recently available—and don't include many indirect costs, such as family support services, finds a cost analysis published in the open access journal BMJ Open.
GLP-1 receptor agonists, a class of drug used to treat type 2 diabetes, likely trump the widely prescribed metformin for curbing dementia risk in people with the condition, finds the largest study of its kind, published in the open access journal BMJ Open Diabetes Research & Care.
For adults with type 2 diabetes and obesity, glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) are associated with a lower risk for dementia, stroke, and all-cause mortality compared with other antidiabetic drugs, according to a study published online July 15 in JAMA Network Open.
Mental illnesses are thought to be caused by both biological and environmental factors in complex interaction. Among the environmental contributors are a wide range of social, economic, and demographic factors known as "social determinants."
Benign and cancerous calcium phosphate deposits that may look identical on a mammogram have distinct differences in their structures and formation processes, according to researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and collaborators at the Mayo Clinic and the University of Texas at Austin.
A new study by Indiana University School of Medicine researchers has revealed a breakthrough in the fight against acute myeloid leukemia, one of the most aggressive and fatal blood cancers in adults. The discovery of a previously unrecognized immune cell could lead to new therapies that are less treatment-resistant than current options for patients—meaning higher survival rates for people with blood cancers.
For patients with Parkinson's disease, changes in their ability to walk can be dramatic. "Parkinson's gait," as it is often called, can include changes in step length and asymmetry between legs. This gait dysfunction reduces a person's mobility, increases fall risk, and significantly impacts a patient's quality of life.
In a study published in the August issue of the American Journal of Ophthalmology, diagnostic indicators are identified for confirming chronic neuropathic ocular pain (NOP) for patients experiencing chronic dry eye (DE) after laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK).
Sitting around a campfire can be a beloved part of time with family and friends. But for families with young children, it's important to be aware of the risk of burns and know how to prevent and respond to such injuries.
