Artificial pancreas uses 'digital twin' tech to improve diabetes control

Researchers from the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore (NUS Medicine) have developed an improved biological aging clock, "LinAge2," that offers doctors a practical and more accurate way to assess how quickly a person is aging—and what can be done to slow it down.

Sports scientists at Nottingham Trent University wanted to investigate how a coach's personality shaped their behavior and experiences when working with athletes.

As winter settles over Australia, it's not just the drop in temperature we notice—there's also a sharp rise in respiratory illnesses. Most of us are familiar with the usual winter players such as COVID, influenza and RSV (respiratory syncytial virus), which often dominate news headlines and public health messaging.

If someone asked you to imagine a psychopath, who would you picture? Many of us might conjure an image of a violent criminal who will do anything without remorse to get what they want. After all, we've seen such a character in countless movies and other depictions over the decades.

A new study has found that women who experienced physical abuse in the context of domestic violence are more likely to suffer from long-term mental health challenges, even decades after the abuse has ended.

Now that summer's here, the pressure is on to sculpt that beach-ready body—but that doesn't mean you need to live at the gym. New research from Florida Atlantic University shows that when it comes to building muscle and gaining strength, less might actually be more.

Patients hospitalized for severe COVID-19 exhibit cardiac systolic dysfunction and small vessel disease at long-term follow-up. This is according to a new study from Karolinska Institutet and Karolinska University Hospital published in JAMA Network Open.

A large study has found that physical exercise helps maintain brain size as we age—regardless of body mass.

Breast cancer is the most prevalent malignancy among women worldwide. Phototheranostics—an approach that uses light both to detect and treat cancerous lesions—has drawn growing attention due to its potential advantages, including light-triggered, non-invasive real-time diagnosis and simultaneous in situ therapy.

Human metabolism is a complex web of chemical processes and interactions between our cells and the microbes living within us. The more scientists can identify and classify the molecules involved in our metabolism, called metabolites, the more we can learn about human health and disease. Now, researchers at University of California San Diego have made a major advance in our understanding of human metabolism by describing hundreds of new N-acyl lipids, a type of molecule involved in immune and stress responses.

Researchers have tracked how the COVID-19 virus mutates long term, revealing patterns that could help predict the emergence of future variants.

Researchers at the University of Tsukuba have analyzed the provision of low-value care in primary care settings. The study, published in JAMA Health Forum, found that most of this care was provided by a small number of physicians. Among these, older physicians, physicians who were not board certified, and those having high patient volumes were more likely to provide low-value care.

Compared to stool DNA testing, researchers found that CT colonography is a cost-saving and clinically effective method for colorectal cancer screening, according to a study published in Radiology.

Increased activity in a specific biological pathway may explain why many patients with a deadly form of skin cancer do not respond to the latest cancer treatments, a new study shows.

A Texas woman has died after using tap water in a sinus rinse, leading to a rare but often fatal brain infection, health officials report.

New research finds that people with COVID-like symptoms returned to optimal physical well-being an average of three months after infection, but took up to nine months to return to top mental well-being. Even one year after infection, about 20% of study participants continued to experience overall suboptimal health-related quality of life (HRQoL).

A new way of using artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze thousands of patients' cancer samples has been developed by scientists at Children's Medical Research Institute (CMRI) in an international collaboration published in the journal Cancer Discovery.

Diagnosis of primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) is associated with a reduction in mental health scores, according to a study published in JAMA Ophthalmology.
