Exercising less, skipping parties and struggling at work: the expectation of chronic pain and itching can lead to avoidance behavior. But this is by no means the case for everyone with chronic pain, as Ph.D. candidate Gita Nadinda discovered. What does this mean for health care?
Researchers from Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and Mass General Brigham have found that integrating an automated smoking cessation intervention for parents into pediatric primary care demonstrated increased treatment received and reduced the number of cigarettes smoked. While additional interventions are needed to improve quit rates, the study indicates the benefits of pediatric primary care support in reducing parental smoking.
Researchers ushered in a new chapter for personalized and precise cancer diagnostics using technology that can automatically and simultaneously isolate circulating tumor cells (CTC) and circulating cancer-associated fibroblasts (cCAF) from blood.
New research has demonstrated that a combined regimen of growth hormone and testosterone is safe, well-tolerated, and is associated with meaningful improvements in muscle mass, strength, and mobility for men living with facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD). Researchers believe that this regimen could benefit patients with other forms of muscular dystrophy.
Indiana University School of Medicine scientists have developed a new method that shifts the behavior of immunosuppressive cells in tumors, turning them from cancer protectors into tumor fighters.
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) may be associated with an increased risk for tinnitus, Meniere disease, vestibular dysfunction, and sensorineural hearing loss, according to a study published online Aug. 20 in the Journal of Multidisciplinary Healthcare.
University at Buffalo researchers and collaborators have completed a series of studies that reveal how much painful mouth sores known as oral mucositis increase infection risks in stem cell transplant patients and how artificial intelligence can be used to more accurately predict those risks.
What if a simple blood test could tell how fast you're really aging, or warn you of potential health issues before symptoms appear? A team of scientists from CIC bioGUNE, member of BRTA, led by Prof. José M. Mato, General Director of the center, and Dr. Óscar Millet, head of the Precision Medicine and Metabolism Laboratory, has developed a metabolic aging clock that does just that.
A randomized placebo-controlled Finnish study showed that aspirin therapy does not provide significant relief for people suffering from chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps who are hypersensitive to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). The results of a joint study performed by the University of Eastern Finland, University of Helsinki and HUS Inflammation Center were published in the journal Allergy.
When something happens in life that you want to vent about, most people have a go-to listener. Being this person for others serves an important purpose in the workplace, providing emotional and problem-focused support.
As every bodybuilder knows, a deep, restful sleep boosts levels of growth hormone to build strong muscle and bone and burn fat. And as every teenager should know, they won't reach their full height potential without adequate growth hormone from a full night's sleep.
A new review by the International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF) Rehabilitation Working Group underscores the powerful impact of lifestyle behaviors—specifically physical activity and sedentary behavior—on bone health across the human lifespan.
Features of immune system aging can be detected in the earliest stages of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), even before clinical diagnosis, a new study has found which provides at-risk individuals with hope for early intervention.
Researchers at Moffitt Cancer Center have created the first genetically engineered model of lung cancer in naked mole rats, a species long thought to be resistant to cancer. The findings, published in Cancer Discovery, shed light on how cancer begins in this unusual rodent and may reveal new parallels to tumor development in humans.
A research team has developed an implantable wireless neural interface capable of delivering drugs precisely to deep regions of the brain.
Influenza (flu) can be fatal, but just how it causes severe damage to the lungs has been a mystery—until now.
Researchers have harnessed the power of artificial intelligence to tackle one of the most complex challenges in immunology: predicting how T cells recognize and respond to specific peptide antigens. Using AlphaFold 3 (AF3), an AI/ML model, designed for protein structure prediction, the team demonstrated a novel approach to model T cell receptor–peptide/major histocompatibility complex (TCR-pMHC) interactions with growing accuracy. The paper is published in the journal Frontiers in Immunology.
Scientists have discovered why older people are more likely to suffer severely from the flu, and can now use their findings to address this risk.
Run. Red. World. Pronouncing the "r" sound in these words requires precise control of the tongue. For most children, this happens naturally, but many children struggle with residual speech sound disorder (RSSD) in which speech errors persist past the age of eight.
