Electroacupuncture accelerates postprostatectomy urinary continence recovery

UCLA scientists, together with a team of international collaborators, have identified a promising new treatment strategy that can detect, kill and reprogram aggressive, treatment-resistant tumors like osteosarcomas and glioblastoma.

The COVID-19 pandemic shutdown changed just about every aspect of daily life, including gambling habits. With no casinos, bingo halls, sports betting or even lottery tickets, an unprecedented number of Quebecers turned to online gambling, many for the first time.

A new national survey of first-year fellows in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery (FMIGS) has revealed significant gaps in the use of FDA-cleared containment systems during laparoscopic hysterectomy and myomectomy. The work is published in Gynecology & Reproductive Health.

Mayo Clinic researchers have identified a protein that acts like a traffic controller for DNA, preventing damage during cell division—a discovery that could lead to new cancer therapies, according to a study published in Nature.

Advanced DNA sequencing technologies and a new model of stem cell research have enabled an international team to discover a new type of diabetes in babies.

Raw milk cheese products contained infectious avian influenza virus when made with contaminated raw milk, creating potential health risks for consumers, according to a new study.

A new study offers a glimpse at how direct-to-consumer pharmacy pricing could one day present stiff competition to the private prescription drug insurance model, researchers say.

A multi-institutional study from the Accelerating GBM Therapies Through Serial Biopsies TeamLab, led by investigators from the Mass General Brigham Cancer Institute, found that serially testing tumor samples can help detect when a cancer treatment is activating the immune system in recurrent glioblastoma (GBM), even when traditional imaging measures cannot.

Exercise is good for the body and the mind. A good workout can leave you feeling energized, recharged and ready to take on the rest of the day.

As colder months set in, respiratory infections begin to climb: everything from the common cold and flu to COVID-19. It's a time when healthy lungs matter more than ever. Yet the very tissue that lets oxygen pass from air to blood is remarkably delicate, and habits such as vaping can weaken it just when protection is most needed.

The number of children and young people accessing NHS-funded mental health services has increased by nearly 80,000 in the past year, sparking renewed concern over a system already under strain.

Every night, millions of people across the world tune in to watch influencers spin slot machines, chase jackpots and ride emotional rollercoasters of wins and losses. Online viewers erupt with cheers, emojis and pleas for "one more spin."

Seasonal allergies—triggered by pollen—appear to make deaths by suicide more likely. Our findings, published in the Journal of Health Economics, show that minor physical health conditions like mild seasonal allergies, previously thought not to be an immediate trigger of suicide, are indeed a risk factor.

Globally, nearly half of the deaths of children under five years are linked to malnutrition. In Kenya, it's the leading cause of illness and death among children.

Lung diseases like tuberculosis and cystic fibrosis can be difficult to treat. In part, that's because the two-dimensional models researchers use to study the diseases don't accurately reflect the shape of human lungs—and animal models don't behave like humans do when they encounter disease.

New UBC Okanagan research shows that exercise can do more than improve the strength and cardiovascular endurance of women who have survived breast cancer.

Researchers from Osaka Metropolitan University have discovered how the balance of bacteria in the stomach affects the growth of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). By identifying the specific bacteria involved and the biochemical reactions that cause tumor growth, the researchers hope to create a new diagnostic technique to detect which patients are most likely to develop cancer.

Successful sports coaches have some things in common, researchers from McGill University and the University of Queensland in Australia found. Notably, they engage in post-season introspection, focus on creating a good team culture and include their athletes in finding solutions to problems.
