At least 170 US hospitals face major flood risk: Experts say Trump is making it worse

According to a study by researchers at the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC), time-restricted feeding can have a positive impact on athletes in terms of both their health and performance. The effects of time-restricted eating—where food intake is permitted within a restricted window ranging from 3–4 to 10–12 hours—have been widely studied in the general population, where they have been shown to increase life expectancy, but there is little evidence of its positive effects on high-performance athletes.

Australian researchers have discovered that an anti-inflammatory drug already being used to treat rheumatoid arthritis could dramatically improve recovery from heart attacks. The work is published in the journal Cardiovascular Research.

Cancer survival rates have improved over three decades as cancer mortality rates decline, according to new data published today by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW).

More than two-thirds of people living with chronic pain reach for chocolate or other comfort foods to cope, with new research showing that eating offers pleasure, distraction and relief from negative emotions during pain flare-ups.

One in every 250 men will develop testicular cancer in their lifetime, and the numbers are increasing. The good news: It's very treatable if caught early and treated correctly.

Research led by the Karolinska Institutet reports that offspring of parents with mental disorders face increased mortality, with the highest risks for unnatural deaths and when both parents had diagnoses.

Earlier in 2025, the Trump administration approved $900 billion in sweeping cuts to Medicaid, the publicly funded health program for low-income families and people with disabilities. Democrats are now demanding that Republicans address some of their concerns about patients who rely on safety-net health care programs, which has led to a deadlock in Washington over a federal spending plan and the ongoing government shutdown.

Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has floated a seismic idea: adding autism to the list of conditions covered by the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.

The prevalence of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is approximately two times higher in African Americans (AA) compared to white/European-ancestry (EA) individuals living in the U.S. Some of this is due to social determinants of health such as disparities in health care access and quality of education, biases in testing and higher rates of AD risk factors such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes in those who identify as African American.

Concussions and traumatic brain injuries (TBI) have been considered a potential cause of ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease.

Every day, patients with an upcoming operation roll up their sleeves for blood tests or get heart and lung tests and scans.

Menopause before the age of 45 (known as early menopause) is associated with an increased risk of an array of serious diseases, including cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis. A new study suggests that it may also force women out of the workforce prematurely, although carefully timed hormone therapy may help women remain employed.

At 59, Susan Wood, a longtime Boise, Idaho, resident, was too young to qualify for Medicare when she retired in July. So she signed up for a marketplace plan under the Affordable Care Act, often called Obamacare.

Researchers at the University of Maryland School of Medicine's Center for Vaccine Development and Global Health (CVD) have completed a successful Phase I clinical trial of a novel vaccine designed to protect against both typhoid fever and invasive non-typhoidal Salmonella—two major causes of illness and death among children in sub-Saharan Africa.

One of the newest weapons that scientists have developed against cancer is a type of engineered immune cell known as CAR-NK (natural killer) cells. Similar to CAR-T cells, these cells can be programmed to attack cancer cells.

A recent analysis reveals that older adults with prior incarceration report worse physical and mental health than their peers, even if they were incarcerated in the distant past. The findings are published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society.

Androgenetic alopecia is a common form of hair loss in both men and women—also called male pattern baldness and female pattern hair loss. Topical minoxidil is an approved treatment, but it has poor water solubility and skin permeability. New research in Advanced Healthcare Materials reveals that stevioside, a natural sweetener derived from the stevia plant, can improve the drug's absorption into the skin.

In 2014, a provision under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) went into effect that allowed states to opt into expanding Medicaid eligibility to adults with incomes up to 138% of the federal poverty guidelines. Existing studies have linked Medicaid expansion to increased insurance coverage, access to cancer screening services, and improved two-year survival rates, but its impact on longer-term survival among individuals diagnosed with cancer remains unknown, according to Elizabeth Schafer, MPH, associate scientist at the American Cancer Society.
