DeLLphi-303 Phase Ib trial results demonstrate acceptable safety profile, unprecedented survival in ES-SCLC

Infant mortality has risen in states that enacted tighter abortion restrictions in the wake of the June 2022 Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health decision. This occurs for newborns—those less than a day old—as well as older infants—those 1 month to 1 year old.

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) was approved by the FDA to treat some patients with depression in 2008, and has since been used in treatment plans for a variety of other health issues. But the increased use of TMS raises a number of ethical considerations. For example, are health care providers doing enough to track adverse side effects? And are patients able to make informed decisions about whether to receive TMS treatment?

Colorado has one of the highest suicide rates in the nation, at 20.9 per 100,000 in 2023. Of the state's 940 gun deaths that year, nearly 72% were by suicide.

A smartphone app, developed by University of Melbourne researchers, is helping speed up the process of diagnosing cerebral palsy in babies, by allowing parents to complete an early screening test from the comfort of their own home.

Game-based training improves not only the cognitive abilities of people with initial signs of developing dementia, but also leads to positive changes in the brain. That is according to two new studies by researchers from ETH Zurich and Eastern Switzerland University of Applied Sciences OST.

Have you recently cut down on caffeine and feel like you're having the most vivid dreams of your life?

Amid confusion at the federal level about access to updated COVID-19 vaccines, several states are taking steps this fall to make sure that residents have broad access to the shots.

Peking University scientists have developed a cancer therapy that could make life-saving treatment accessible to any patient, anywhere. A team led by Professor Wei Wensheng from Peking University, collaborating with the PLA General Hospital and biotech company EdiGene Inc., has developed a novel cancer therapy that could make advanced treatment accessible to many more patients. Their study is published in the journal Cell.

As Florida plans to phase out childhood vaccine mandates, Northeastern policy experts say it would undo decades of public health protections and expose children to once-common pediatric diseases that devastated communities.

Some of the populations with the highest risk for Alzheimer's disease remain greatly underrepresented in clinical trials—and a new study helps explain why.

40 million people live with HIV globally, and that number continues to rise. While therapies exist to reduce the amount of HIV in a patient's body and, in turn, reduce HIV symptoms, there remains no cure. Engineering better drugs and eventually a cure depends on our ability to answer foundational questions like: How does HIV invade and replicate in host cells?

In the U.K. there are more than 40,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA) annually, but fewer than 10% of people survive. Early CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) and use of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) to restart the heart can at least double the chance of survival. AEDs are safe for the public to use, even without training, but it can be difficult for bystanders to locate and retrieve one quickly during an emergency.

Whether training for a marathon, fitting in a quick gym session after work, or running onto the footy field for a professional match, it seems that the warm-up might be just as important as the exercise itself.

Giving birth is hard enough; postpartum depression can make adjusting to parenthood all the more difficult. A healthy diet is essential for new mothers to build strength after such a taxing ordeal, but what if what they eat could also lower the risk of baby blues?

Researchers from the University of Adelaide have taken existing questionnaires used to measure chronic pain and made them accessible for children and young people with cerebral palsy.

University of Oxford-led research finds low-dose rapamycin functions as a genomic protector in aging human immune cells, lowering DNA damage.

An international team of scientists has revealed how rogue rings of DNA that float outside of our chromosomes—known as extrachromosomal DNA, or ecDNA—can drive the growth of a large proportion of glioblastomas, the most common and aggressive adult brain cancer. The discovery could open the door to much-needed new approaches to diagnose glioblastoma early, track its progress and treat it more effectively.

Researchers at the University of Alberta have found a way to measure how engaged people living with dementia are when they're playing a computer game—which could pave the way to new treatments that use gaming to stave off the onset or progression of cognitive decline.
