Lymph nodes are a key part of the human immune system, whose primary function is to combat infections. The effectiveness of vaccines is based on their ability to trigger events in lymph nodes that lead to the development of an immune response that protects the host against pathogens.
A new wireless and wearable device developed by Northwestern Medicine scientists, in collaboration with Northwestern University spinout company, Epicore Biosystems, measures specific biomarkers in a person's sweat with similar accuracy to standard testing methods and has the potential to improve clinical decision-making for cystic fibrosis, as detailed in a recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Innovative intervention delivered by trained community health workers—meaning nonclinical personnel with deep knowledge of the community—increased treatment utilization among participating families with children who have ADHD, according to a pilot study published in the Journal of Attention Disorders. This intervention for parents and caregivers, covering topics that range from education about ADHD to discussions of stigma and barriers to care, intends to reduce inequities in access to evidence-based treatment and boost family engagement in ADHD care.
The Society for Cardiovascular Angiography & Interventions (SCAI) has published a new position statement that provides best-practice guidance for the treatment of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) using transcatheter occlusion (tcPDA) in premature infants.
Researchers have developed a self-powered microneedle patch to monitor a range of health biomarkers without drawing blood or relying on batteries or external devices. In proof-of-concept testing with synthetic skin, the researchers demonstrated that the patches could collect biomarker samples over periods ranging from 15 minutes to 24 hours.
Zhengang Lu and Russell Epstein, from the University of Pennsylvania, led a study to explore how people maintain their sense of direction while navigating naturalistic, virtual reality cities.
Researchers have created the first detailed molecular map of the human bone marrow, revealing new insights that could reshape our thinking about how an incurable blood cancer grows and spreads.
A multicenter French study led by Rennes University Hospital reports potential benefits of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists for hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), with statistically significant reductions in HS-related scores at six months and at last follow-up.
When it comes to adopting artificial intelligence in high-stakes settings like hospitals and airplanes, good AI performance and brief worker training on the technology is not sufficient to ensure systems will run smoothly and patients and passengers will be safe, a new study suggests.
Sports coaches have always made decisions based on experience, observation and intuition. But they are increasingly relying on hard evidence. Behind the scenes, a quiet revolution is transforming sport—driven not by human skills but by data.

However, within hours of consuming them, your heart starts racing, you're nauseated and vomiting. Then you begin convulsing and have a seizure, resulting in a trip to the hospital.
Gazing at smartphone screens for even one hour a day can cause digital eye strain, especially when scrolling through social media. According to a new study published in the Journal of Eye Movement Research, it is not just the time spent on digital devices but also the type of content being used that can cause the condition.
For almost 40 years, people who suspect they've been harmed by a vaccine have been able to turn to a little-known system called the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program—often simply called the vaccine court.
A new study reports evidence of a link between prenatal exposure to the widely used insecticide chlorpyrifos (CPF) and structural abnormalities in the brain and poorer motor function in New York City children and adolescents.
Two years ago, the Food and Drug Administration approved the sale of an over-the-counter birth control pill for the first time in the United States without a prescription.
When Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recently fired an entire federal vaccine advisory panel, he described the unprecedented move as necessary to rid the committee of industry influence.
Modern vaccines have saved over 150 million lives. Yet misinformation about them can still have deadly consequences. A gunman recently opened fire at the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention headquarters, wrongly believing that the coronavirus vaccine had caused his depression.
The first mRNA vaccine for foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) was recently created in less than 18 months—but how do mRNA animal vaccines work, and how would this one be deployed in an emergency?
Engaging with nature could be an effective measure for those with low well-being to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety.
