Disparities exist in outpatient referrals for opioid use disorder, study finds

The U.S. Food & Drug Administration has announced several recent food recalls, including one affecting more than a million cage-free, certified organic eggs linked to a multistate salmonella outbreak.

A staggering 92% of South Africans living with mental health conditions are not receiving the treatment they need. Yet, research continues to show that collaborative care—where mental health and primary care providers work together—can significantly improve patient outcomes, service satisfaction, and overall quality of life.

Research led by the Joldasbekov Institute of Mechanics and Engineering in Kazakhstan, reports that camel milk intake significantly reduced airway hyperresponsiveness and lung inflammation in a laboratory model of allergic asthma in mice.

Cancer is traditionally known as a disease affecting mostly older people.

Artificial intelligence (AI) improves breast cancer detection accuracy for radiologists when reading screening mammograms, helping them devote more of their attention to suspicious areas, according to a study published in Radiology.

Men with high levels of belly fat are at increased risk of dementia, according to a new study by Monash University researchers of more than 17,000 individuals aged 65 to 98 years in the ASPREE Study.

Even in moderation, consumption of ultra-processed foods is linked with measurable increases in risk for chronic diseases, according to research from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington. Processed meat, sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs), and trans fatty acids (TFAs) were associated with an increased disease risk, such as type 2 diabetes, ischemic heart disease (IHD), and colorectal cancer.

Good physical performance is associated with better cognition in people with relapsing-remitting MS, according to a recent study by the University of Eastern Finland. Good functional capacity was also clearly related to cognition and physical performance. The study is published in the Journal of Central Nervous System Disease.

Leading global doctors, researchers, and lawyers have joined forces with patient representatives and created the first-ever information guide to better support and protect patients across the world who are considering pioneering, but also potentially risky, surgery.

Should AI chatbots replace your therapist? New research says "no."

A person diagnosed with dementia has improved survival outcomes in recent years amid significant progress in dementia diagnosis and care, according to a recent multinational study led by a University of Waterloo researcher.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ended its emergency response for bird flu as the outbreak that sickened dozens of people, spread to cattle and drove up egg prices has abated.

Human papillomaviruses, or HPVs, can cause dangerous infections in the skin and mucous membranes and may lead to cancer. Vaccines that prevent mucosal HPV infections aren't effective against cutaneous infections, which can cause serious diseases, particularly in immunocompromised people.

A single mood disorder might have driven a rapid increase in Pennsylvania's medical marijuana program, a new study says.

A neglected piece of the Alzheimer's puzzle has been getting increased scientific attention: why women are twice as likely as men to develop the disease.

Older women with larger waist circumference may be at a much greater risk of dying for any given BMI, according to international research, which monitored women over more than two decades. The study found that for post-menopausal women aged 50–79, taking waist circumference into account along with BMI, better reflected the role obesity plays in the risk of dying than using BMI alone.

The human brain is comprised of two main types of cells, known as neurons and glia. The first are responsible for transmitting electrical and chemical signals, while the latter support and protect neurons.

Australian scientists have successfully developed a research system that uses 'biological artificial intelligence' to design and evolve molecules with new or improved functions directly in mammal cells. The researchers said this system provides a powerful new tool that will help scientists develop more specific and effective research tools or gene therapies.
