Can the way we talk about cancer change how we interact with the disease?

Translocations are chromosomal "cut and paste" errors that drive many lymphomas, a type of blood cancer and the sixth most common form of cancer overall. This includes mantle cell lymphoma, a rare but aggressive subtype diagnosed in about one in every 100,000 people each year.

Researchers have developed a new, data-driven way of fitting prosthetic legs that could lead to better-fitting prosthetics, in less time and at a lower cost.

People who drink less than the recommended daily fluid intake experience a greater stress hormone response, which is associated with an increased risk of heart disease, diabetes and depression, according to a new study from scientists in Liverpool, U.K.

Hemoglobin, long celebrated for ferrying oxygen in red blood cells, has now been revealed to play an overlooked—and potentially game-changing—antioxidant role in the brain.

A new study has revealed that racialized and Indigenous communities across Europe, North America, and Central America face significantly higher rates of cardiovascular disease (CVD), and that gaps in health care data are making the problem worse.

The brain controls the release of glucose in a wide range of stressful circumstances, including fasting and low blood sugar levels. However, less attention has been paid to its role in day-to-day situations.

A topical fluorescent molecular contrast agent, PARPi-FL, can detect basal cell carcinoma through intact skin in as little as five minutes in ex vivo human tissues, according to new preclinical research published in The Journal of Nuclear Medicine. Data confirmed that PARPi-FL is non-toxic to the skin and does not cause systemic side effects, making it a potential one-stop-shop for diagnosis and management of basal cell carcinoma.

People recovering from heart failure should consider improving the regularity of their sleep, a study led by Oregon Health & Science University suggests.

Researchers at the Complexity Science Hub (CSH) analyzed 13 million inpatient hospital stays involving around 4 million individuals in Austria: Although about 20% of the population in Austria does not hold Austrian citizenship, this group accounts for only 9.4% of hospital patients and 9.8% of total hospital nights.

Daily sleep and activity are fundamental to both physical and mental health. Although previous studies have largely emphasized quantitative aspects such as sleep duration and physical activity time, there is increasing focus on how daily sleep varies among days.

Cardiovascular researchers at UC Davis Health have developed a novel technique that allows scientists to study how the brain communicates with other organs, like the heart or gut. The new method preserves the brain tissue in animal research while simultaneously collecting living (unfixed) samples from other organs.

A remotely delivered behavioral intervention can reduce variability in systolic blood pressure, expressed as the coefficient of variation (BPCoV), according to a study published online Aug. 12 in Scientific Reports.

For patients with inflammatory bowel disease and obesity, bariatric surgery is associated with improved inflammatory bowel disease-related outcomes, according to a study published online July 22 in BJS Open.

The 2025 Canadian wildfire season is on track to be the country's second worst on record, burning more than 16.5 million acres and causing wildfire smoke to travel to the Midwest and Northeast United States. Though we may know the air quality is poor through monitoring and subsequent air quality warnings, the physical and mental health implications of wildfire smoke are not entirely known.

A new study by USC Leonard Davis School of Gerontology researchers shows that Americans with less education are aging faster than their peers with more schooling, and the gap has grown over the last 30 years.

Jeffrey Carson spent more than a decade persuading hospitals that fewer, resource-saving blood transfusions work just as well as more frequent transfusions for most patients. More recently, the Rutgers internist finished a massive study that indicates a major exception to the rule: anemic heart attack patients.

As we age, our cells replicate, and the DNA in these cells can acquire mistakes—or mutations—every time the sequence is copied. Most newly acquired mutations are harmless, but some can tip the balance toward cancer development later in life.

Prioritizing communications between patients and health care providers and increasing patient education about chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) could help improve patient care, according to a new study published in the July 2025 issue of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseases: Journal of the COPD Foundation.
