If you were to ask most people what causes cancer, the answer would probably be smoking, alcohol, the sun, hair dye or some other avoidable element. But the most important risk factor for cancer is something else: aging. That's right, the factor most associated with cancer is unavoidable—and a condition that we will all experience.
Reducing supplementary oxygen given to intensive care patients does not deliver any clear and obvious health benefits or harm their chances of survival, according to new research.
You may have heard that astronauts have their appendix removed before leaving Earth. After all, people say you can live without this organ because it serves no purpose, but how much truth is there in this belief?
A study published in Current Biology demonstrates that scientists can identify individuals based solely on their breathing patterns with 96.8% accuracy. These nasal respiratory "fingerprints" also offer insights into physical and mental health.
The population across developed countries is getting older and the associated frailty and debilitation are becoming major health problems. This gradual muscle loss is accelerated by the poor capacity to repair damage and injury, especially after falls or surgeries.
All of us produce a growth factor—called IL-15—which effectively protects us from cancers. Its role is to boost the production of immune cells that can rapidly detect and kill cancer cells when they first appear. One of these cell-types is appropriately called natural killer cells.
A clinical trial led by researchers at The Ottawa Hospital and the University of Ottawa and published in the New England Journal of Medicine illustrates a powerful and efficient approach for comparing different standard treatments.
Softgel capsules—the smooth, easy-to-swallow form of many medications and supplements—are increasingly popular for delivering everything from vitamins to omega-3s. These capsules, made of a liquid center inside a soft, flexible shell, offer convenience and effectiveness. But they've also come under growing scrutiny for one surprising reason: plasticizers.
Wireless health monitoring is rapidly evolving, promising a future where breathing, heart rate, and other key metrics can be tracked passively, continuously, and without the need for wearables, such as smartwatches, fitness trackers, or other bulky medical monitors.
A new study has found children as young as 10 show clinical-level gaming disorder, which researchers say could affect 100,000 Australian children, with a further 350,000 at risk of smartphone addiction.
When you imagine a patient in a hospital bed you will probably picture an intravenous (IV) drip as part of the scene. Between 80% and 90% of hospital inpatients will receive an infusion of one or more intravenous fluids during their stay.
From counting sheep to white noise and weighted blankets, people have tried innumerable ways to get a good night's sleep. Sleep disruptions can have far-reaching negative consequences, impacting cardiovascular and metabolic health, memory, learning, productivity, mood regulation, interpersonal relationships and more.
Erythritol may impair cellular functions essential to maintaining brain blood vessel health, according to researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder. Findings suggest that erythritol increases oxidative stress, disrupts nitric oxide signaling, raises vasoconstrictive peptide production, and diminishes clot-dissolving capacity in human brain microvascular endothelial cells.
Shortly after she was born, Laura Valentine turned blue.
Fetuses more exposed to certain air pollutants show changes in the size of specific brain structures, particularly during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy. This is the main finding of a new study led by the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal), in collaboration with the BCNatal center (Hospital Sant Joan de Déu, Hospital Clínic, and University of Barcelona) and the Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau.
Germany's BioNTech is buying domestic rival CureVac for $1.25 billion, the companies said Thursday, bringing together two pharmaceutical firms specialized in mRNA technology with the goal of advancing cancer treatments.
A new molecule developed by University at Buffalo researchers acts like a local, long-lasting anesthetic, providing robust pain relief for up to three weeks, according to the results of preclinical studies reported recently in the journal Pain.
Out-of-body experiences—where people feel like spirits disconnected from their physical form—may be a coping mechanism triggered by trauma or other overwhelming stress, new University of Virginia School of Medicine research suggests.
A study published in the journal Scientific Reports indicates that physical exercise combined with omega-3 supplementation considerably improves the immune response and reduces the severity of chronic apical periodontitis.
