A recent study of outcomes in infants and young deaf children with cochlear implants (implanted electronic hearing device), suggests that socioeconomic status (SES) plays a major role in whether spoken language becomes their primary communication mode. The researchers found that communication primarily using spoken language occurred in 85% of commercially insured children with cochlear implants compared to 33% of Medicaid-eligible children. Results were published in the journal Laryngoscope.
A drug used for Parkinson's disease has been shown to be effective in reducing the symptoms of difficult to treat depression, according to a study led by the University of Oxford.
Nestle has joined a growing list of major food companies pledging to voluntarily eliminate artificial colors from their U.S. products by the middle of next year amid mounting health concerns.
If you've started running for the first time, started again after a break, or your workout is more intense, you might have felt it. A dull, nagging ache down your shins after you exercise.
Why is it so hard to stop at just one cookie? For many people, sweet foods like chocolate, pastries, and candy aren't just a treat—they're a source of craving, guilt and emotional struggle. A newly published pilot study introduces the FitMIND Foundation Sweets Addiction Scale (FFSAS)—the first validated tool developed specifically to measure addiction-like behaviors related to sweets.
Millions of adults around the world are diagnosed with ADHD every year, and there is a great need for research in the field. However, much clinical research on adult ADHD suffers from serious methodological shortcomings that make it difficult to use the results in practice, researchers from the University of Copenhagen and the University of Sao Paulo show in a new study.
U.K. adults with psoriasis may be compromising their health and risking exacerbating their skin condition by seeking unverified dietary advice on social media, Herts researchers have warned.
A study from Texas A&M University reveals that hospital rooms designed with natural elements—like indoor plants, green decor and views of green nature—significantly enhance relaxation and mental clarity in simulated patients, even when experienced through virtual reality (VR).
Researchers from Monash University, in collaboration with the European Biostasis Foundation and Apex Neuroscience, have revealed that although most neuroscientists agree that long-term memories depend primarily on neuronal connectivity patterns, significant uncertainties persist regarding precisely how these memories are structurally encoded.
A new study from UCLA Health has uncovered how inflammation in brain blood vessels exacerbates damage in vascular dementia and demonstrated that targeting this process with a repurposed drug can promote brain repair and functional recovery in mice.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (commonly known as IBS) affects about 1 in 5 Australians. It's a chronic and often debilitating condition, with symptoms including abdominal pain, bloating, constipation, diarrhea and unpredictable bowel movements.
A study led by Cedars-Sinai investigators has uncovered a significant uptick in chronic digestive disorders, like irritable bowel syndrome, during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study findings, published in the journal Neurogastroenterology & Motility, highlight a potential link between pandemic-related stress on the gut–brain axis.
A collaboration of leading Chinese research institutions has developed an artificial intelligence-based method called GRAPE, demonstrating high accuracy in detecting gastric cancer from routine noncontrast CT scans.
Cancer is costly for patients and the NHS—but it also has a significant impact on the U.K. economy, according to research led by the University of Leeds.
A federal vaccine panel recently reshaped by US health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., has voted to discourage the use of flu vaccines containing thimerosal, a mercury-based preservative. The decision marks a dramatic shift in vaccine policy, as thimerosal has long been considered safe by health agencies worldwide, with its use already limited to a few multi-dose flu shots.
Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among women in the United States. Thanks to decades of fundamental research, it's also one of the most curable. The exception is a particularly aggressive variant known as triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). It accounts for 10% to 15% of all breast cancer cases. It disproportionately affects younger and African American women.
Millions of people are expected to lose access to Medicaid and Affordable Care Act marketplace health insurance plans if federal lawmakers approve the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, President Donald Trump's domestic policy package, which is now moving through the Senate.
In the fight against cancer, immunotherapy—which aims to boost the body's natural defenses against cancer—is experiencing remarkable growth. Most of these treatments are based on CD8 T lymphocytes, "killer cells" able to eliminate diseased cells. A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) has explored an alternative approach involving CD4 T lymphocytes.
Even small drops in national income can significantly increase the risk of various forms of childhood malnutrition—not only undernutrition but also overweight and obesity, shows a study led by the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal).
