Research conducted at West Virginia University suggests consuming alcohol with fentanyl and other drugs may explain, in part, why more men than women die from unintentional overdoses.
"Ear seeding" is having a moment on TikTok and Instagram. One video of someone's experience of ear seeding has been "liked" more than half a million times. Supermodel Naomi Campbell is among celebrities reported to have tried it.
If there are prediction models for who might be at risk of cancer or diabetes so that they can get attention before it's too late, why can't there be a predictor for overdoses? A new tool designed to help people who use stimulants like cocaine or methamphetamine answers that question, using demographics and other available information to identify who is at risk.
What impact do screens have on teenagers' sleep? A study by the University of Geneva (UNIGE), conducted in secondary schools in collaboration with the Department of Public Education, Training and Youth (DIP) of the Republic and Canton of Geneva, shows that strict parental rules on smartphone use in the evening are associated with a significant increase in sleep duration and better academic performance. These findings have now been published in Discover Public Health.
A new study from researchers at The University of Texas at Austin reveals that following a low-calorie or low-carbohydrate diet can measurably lower levels of brain chemicals that, when too high, are linked to inflammation and memory problems.
A new Commonwealth Fund report offers the first state-by-state ranking of how vulnerable individual health and health care systems are to climate risks.
Children in care who experience frequent changes in care placements are more than twice as likely to experience mental health problems, according to new research led by the University of Bath in the UK.
Around half a million stents are implanted in Germany every year to treat narrowing of the blood vessels, a consequence of atherosclerosis. However, conventional models made of metal or polymers injure the endothelium, the protective innermost cell layer of the blood vessels, when they are inserted. This cell layer takes a long time to regenerate, and if it is damaged, there is also an elevated risk of thrombosis. To prevent blood clotting and thus thrombosis at the stent site, patients must take high doses of anticoagulant medications—often for the rest of their lives.
Researchers at the University of Vienna have developed fluorescent peptide tracers that can simultaneously visualize and activate the oxytocin receptor. This receptor—also known as the love/bonding hormone receptor—plays a key role in processes related to social behavior, health and disease.
A new technology to more accurately trace neuron shapes from microscopy images is outlined in research released by E11 Bio, a nonprofit Focused Research Organization based in Alameda, Calif. The aim is to significantly reduce the cost of one day obtaining the first connectomic maps of whole mouse and human brains. The new work is in collaboration with the Francis Crick Institute, MIT, and Max Planck Institute, and is published on the bioRxiv preprint server.
A new caffeine craze is brewing on social media—no kettle required. Caffeine pouches promise a fast, discreet hit of energy without the fuss of brewing coffee or cracking open an energy drink. But while they may look like a harmless pick-me-up, experts warn they carry real risks, especially for teenagers and people with underlying health conditions.
Immune cells called double negative T cells are abundant in the intestine but have been poorly understood till date. In a recent study, researchers from the Institute of Science Tokyo report that these cells actually have an indispensable role in suppressing intestinal inflammation. Through cutting-edge microscopy that allows live imaging, the movement and functioning of these cells were visualized for the first time, providing insights into conditions such as Crohn's disease.
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that is estimated to be experienced by roughly 1 in 127 people worldwide.
