Florey researchers have shown that a father's SARS-CoV-2 viral infection before conception can alter their offspring's brain development and behavior, through changes in sperm. Lead researcher Professor Anthony Hannan said the study in mice suggested that COVID-19 could have long-lasting effects on future generations. The findings have been published in Nature Communications.
A new UNSW Sydney and Black Dog Institute study has found that an intensive, one-week online therapy program can significantly reduce symptoms of social anxiety disorder (SAD)—the most common anxiety disorder in Australia, affecting about 1 in 7 people each year.
An estimated 1.4 million immigrants who are in the country legally but are not citizens stand to lose their government-subsidized health care coverage under the sweeping tax and spending bill President Donald Trump signed into law this summer, according to estimates from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.
Our skin protects us from everyday mechanical stresses, like friction, cuts, and impacts. A key part of this function—standing as a bulwark against the outside world—is the skin's amazing ability to regenerate and heal. But where does this healing ability begin?
The college experience is a whirlwind of late nights, crowded dorms and shared spaces—a perfect storm for germs.
Researchers from the University of Turku and Turku University Hospital, Finland, and Örebro University, Sweden, have discovered that the levels of PFAS in mothers' blood during pregnancy are associated with their children's brain structure and function. The study is published in The Lancet Planetary Health.
One of the first signs of puberty is likely to be new body odor. This is perfectly normal. Every child will have some body odor as puberty begins. This often starts as early as age 8 or 9.
Antibiotics could help prevent or reverse symptoms of delirium in patients with urinary tract infections (UTIs), according to a preclinical study in laboratory mice conducted by Cedars-Sinai investigators. Their findings, published in the journal Translational Psychiatry, could change treatment guidelines if validated through clinical studies in human patients.
For Gen Z adults, the oldest of whom are now reaching their late 20s, suicide is taking more lives than 10 years ago when millennials were the same age, according to a Stateline analysis of federal death statistics.
Investigators led by LMU University Hospital report a higher-than-expected one-year incidence of new-onset atrial fibrillation after coronary artery bypass grafting, paired with very low burden beyond 30 days.
The rapid adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) scribes in health care is outpacing validation and oversight, potentially compromising patient safety, Columbia Nursing researchers warn.
Waves of synchronized, coordinated neuronal activity have been observed and studied in the brain for over a century. But for the first time, Yale researchers have identified where a certain type—known as gamma activity—emerges and they have connected it to behavior.
Researchers have improved the ability of wearable health devices to accurately detect when a patient is coughing, making it easier to monitor chronic health conditions and predict health risks such as asthma attacks. The advance is significant because cough-detection technologies have historically struggled to distinguish the sound of coughing from the sound of speech and nonverbal human noises.
Kiwifruits, rye bread and high mineral-content water could all help alleviate chronic constipation. That's according to the first ever evidence-based dietary guidelines for adults with chronic constipation, led by researchers at King's College London.
The distribution of wealth between different people living in specific geographical regions has changed substantially over the past decades, with some segments of the population benefiting most from economic growth than others. In some parts of the United States, the United Kingdom and various European countries, the distribution of wealth has become increasingly uneven.
Aussies eat more ultra-processed foods than ever before, with busy lifestyles and personal choices often taking the blame as casual factors.
Speech rhythm, a key attribute of natural languages that directly influences the effectiveness and efficiency of communication, is often compromised in people with neurodegenerative diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS. Trying to speak more slowly than normal appears to be an effective strategy for most people with ALS to improve rhythm control and, consequently, make their speech more understandable to others.
Cancer is a challenging enough diagnosis, but many patients are dealt a second blow, even as they heal: "chemo brain."
A new study led by University of Manchester scientists has identified genetic variants that make some patients more sensitive to radiation in specific parts of the rectum than others. The knowledge could reduce the risk of severe bowel complications from radiotherapy, known as rectal toxicity, heralding a more personalized approach to prostate cancer treatment. The study is published in Clinical Cancer Research.
