Dietary intervention optimized using machine learning could lower risk of dementia

Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is the clinical term for high blood pressure in the lungs caused by blockages, such as clots, in the blood vessels. Although CTEPH therapies have improved over recent decades, trends in patient prognosis remain unclear.

In light of reports from the White House that President Donald J. Trump has been diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), the American Heart Association is sharing important information on the condition and its association with cardiovascular risk factors, disease and increased risk of death.

Caffeine, which is present in various foods and beverages, is widely known to improve exercise performance. However, these ergogenic effects may not be observed under hot conditions.

In a first of its kind randomized controlled trial, researchers found delivering a problem-solving digital mental health intervention to young Ukrainian refugees significantly reduced symptoms of depression and anxiety.

In Japan, people spend approximately seven hours sitting per day, which is the longest sitting time in the world. This sedentary behavior (i.e., repeated bouts of prolonged sitting) increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. Recently, a research group has reported that prolonged sitting under constant skin temperature conditions can impair cutaneous vasodilation function, and repeated local heating and cooling do not mitigate this impairment.

Colorado's first human cases of West Nile virus this year were confirmed in two people who contracted the disease in Adams County, public health officials said on July 17.

Scientists have successfully restored hearing in animal models of ENPP1 deficiency, a genetic disease in which individuals lack an enzyme essential for bone and blood vessel health. The rare disorder can cause hearing loss in as many as 75% of patients who live with it.

There are three main types of urinary incontinence:

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has announced a plan to revoke 52 food standards after concluding they are "obsolete and unnecessary."

An experimental mRNA vaccine has boosted the tumor-fighting effects of immunotherapy in a mouse-model study, bringing researchers one step closer to their goal of developing a universal vaccine to "wake up" the immune system against cancer.

As millions of people know firsthand, the most common side effect of mRNA vaccines like the COVID-19 shot is inflammation: soreness, redness and a day or two of malaise. But what if mRNA vaccines could be redesigned to sidestep that response altogether?

In the Canadian town of Aylmer, where Mennonites in traditional dress walk down the main street alongside secular locals, bitter divisions over vaccine skepticism that arose during COVID have intensified with the reemergence of measles.

Vitamin D is not only an essential nutrient, but also the precursor of the hormone calcitriol, indispensable for health. It regulates the uptake of phosphate and calcium necessary for bones by the intestines, as well as cell growth and the proper function of muscles, nerve cells, and the immune system.

Scar tissue in the heart was associated with abnormal heart rhythms among healthy, long-time male endurance athletes aged 50 or older, potentially increasing their risk of sudden cardiac death, according to a small study published in Circulation: Cardiovascular Imaging, an American Heart Association journal.

In a major advance for patients with Crohn's disease, a new study led by researchers at Mount Sinai Health System found that guselkumab, a medication with a mechanism of action that is new to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) treatment, outperformed an established standard of care in promoting intestinal healing and symptom relief.

Swollen legs led to President Donald Trump being diagnosed with what's called chronic venous insufficiency. It's a fairly common condition among older adults but requires a thorough checkup to rule out more serious causes of swelling in the legs. Here are some things to know.

The odds of patient complications following high-risk surgeries are lower when the surgeon and anesthesiologist have prior experience working together, according to a new study by researchers at ICES, Sunnybrook Research Institute and the University of Toronto.

Researchers have shed new light on the most common genetic variant linked to hereditary cancer in Quebec's French-Canadian population. Their findings could result in cheaper and more effective screening methods.
