For children with cleft palate, tympanostomy tube placement improves hearing outcomes, according to a study published online Sept. 25 in the Ear, Nose & Throat Journal.

Researchers at Ruhr University Bochum, Germany, identified a receptor that plays a crucial role in stress-induced motor incoordination associated with ataxias. These hereditary motor disorders have long been linked to the neurotransmitter norepinephrine.

The aim of immunotherapy strategies is to leverage cells in the patient's own immune system to destroy tumor cells. Using a preclinical model, scientists from the Institut Pasteur and Inserm successfully stimulated an effective anti-tumor immune response by reprogramming the death of malignant B cells. They demonstrated an effective triple-therapy approach for treating forms of blood cancer such as certain lymphomas and leukemias which affect B cells. The study was published on August 15 in the journal Science Advances.

Aging is a systemic process that affects the entire body. Visible external signs of aging usually correspond to evidence of equivalent aging in the functioning of the internal organs. This indicates that skin cells age in tandem with other cells throughout the body, suggesting a mechanism whereby aging in one part of the body spreads systemically.

What was once tossed into compost bins could soon help grow stronger crops and even support human health, new research suggests.

Stress sensitivity increases the frequency, intensity, and variability of suicidal thoughts among the university community. These are the findings of a longitudinal study coordinated by the Hospital del Mar Research Institute and Pompeu Fabra University, which analyzed survey data from more than 700 university students.

AI can be used to detect cervical cancer in women in resource-limited parts of the world. However, for this method to work, investments are needed in health care staff, reliable supply chains and trust in these communities. This has been shown in a new study from Uppsala University, Karolinska Institutet and the University of Helsinki, where researchers tested an AI-supported diagnostic method at rural hospitals in Kenya and Tanzania.

Nearly one in seven people live with a mental health disorder, making it one of the world's most pressing health challenges. Yet despite available treatments, most people still lack access to effective care.

A 6-year cohort study conducted by researchers from Japan, comprising nearly 39,000 older adults found that people living in rental flats and owner-occupied detached houses face higher risks of cardiovascular death compared with those in owner-occupied flats. The study attributes the increased risk to colder, less stable indoor temperatures in these housing types and suggests that improving housing quality to address these issues could lower cardiovascular mortality, particularly among men.

Treatments for cancer are continuously improving, but they can still cause debilitating, even fatal, side effects. Immune checkpoint inhibitors, or ICIs, have revolutionized cancer therapy, yet their use can trigger a rare but deadly side effect that affects the heart: myocarditis. ICI-related myocarditis has a mortality of up to 40%.

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major global health challenge, affecting more than 10 million people annually worldwide, with 1.25 million people dying of TB every year. While steroids like dexamethasone are used in certain TB cases (e.g., TB meningitis), their impact on immune cells is not well understood.

Researchers have adapted a rapid diagnostic technology that is able to identify undetected cases of malaria, helping tackle the spread of disease.

School is in session, and viral illness is on the rise. A new study suggests that lowering exposure to respiratory viruses in classrooms isn't as simple as adding high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) purifiers to the room.

Scientists have identified an unusual type of brain cell that may play a vital role in progressive multiple sclerosis (MS), likely contributing to the persistent inflammation characteristic of the disease.
