Media headlines, industry figures and research confirm what many parents suspect: marketing to children has not only grown in scale but also in sophistication.

It's almost spring. And while respiratory infections seem to have passed their peak many people are still getting sick.

A long-term relationship with a GP—one who knows you and your history—improves your health and even reduces your chance of dying prematurely.

Listening to music while doing something can make that activity more enjoyable. But listening to music after an experience or activity can make it more memorable if you have the optimal emotional response while listening to it, according to new research by UCLA neuroscientists published in the Journal of Neuroscience.

From Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Charlotte J. Sumner, M.D., presents an editorial on a study by Richard S. Finkel and colleagues, who report an open-label, Phase II trial of the pre-messenger RNA splicing modifier risdiplam in presymptomatic spinal muscular atrophy.

Around 25% of hay fever sufferers in the UK are allergic to birch tree pollen. This means that for a good chunk of the population, the arrival of spring and summer means sneezing, itchy eyes, blocked sinuses and days spent indoors avoiding pollen. But the recent approval of a new drug could mean relief from these symptoms for thousands living in England with severe allergies to birch pollen.

The biggest lie those who create and spread misinformation perpetrate is that they want you to think for yourself. They warn their target audience not to be "sheep" and not to let themselves be told what to believe by "mainstream" voices, the "deep state" or other bogey men.

It can look almost too easy: athletes gliding along on a bike, runners shuffling at a pace slower than most people's warm-up, or someone strolling so gently it barely seems like exercise at all. Yet this kind of effortless movement is at the heart of what's becoming known as zone zero exercise.

In the U.S., one in five of the 37 million adults who has diabetes doesn't know it. Current methods of diagnosing diabetes and prediabetes usually require a visit to a doctor's office or lab work, both of which can be expensive and time-consuming. Now, diagnosing diabetes and prediabetes may be as simple as breathing.

Jaundice is one of the most common medical issues in newborns, affecting nearly 80% of full-term infants in their first days of life. The condition occurs when excess bilirubin, a yellow pigment formed as red blood cells break down, builds up in the body. While mildcases usually resolve on their own, dangerously high bilirubin levels can cause brain damage or even death. The standard treatment, phototherapy, uses blue light to break bilirubin down into forms the body can excrete.

A new study led by a team of researchers at Moffitt Cancer Center reveals that lymphoma can accelerate the biological aging of the immune system and other tissues, providing new insight into how cancer reshapes the body beyond tumor growth.

Many patients would prefer to use medicines that are less harmful to the environment, even if that means paying more or compromising on convenience. That's the key finding from new research by Utrecht University, led by pharmacist and researcher Milad Sadreghaemy. His team advocates for better education on this topic so patients can make informed decisions and become more aware of waste and health care costs.

An international research team has identified a previously unknown mechanism by which the breast cancer drug tamoxifen can increase the risk of secondary tumors in the uterus.

Understanding how fat molecules are distributed and function in living organisms is key to uncovering mechanisms of aging, disease, and metabolism. Caenorhabditis elegans, a transparent roundworm, is a widely used model for studying fat storage due to its genetic similarity to humans and well-defined anatomy. However, visualizing lipids at high resolution in such a small organism has posed a major technical challenge.

Chronic pain is life-changing and considered one of the leading causes of disability worldwide, making daily life difficult for millions of people around the world, and exacerbating personal and economic burdens. Despite established theories about the molecular mechanisms behind it, scientists have been unable to identify the specific processes in the body responsible, until now.
