Researchers at the Complexity Science Hub (CSH) analyzed 13 million inpatient hospital stays involving around 4 million individuals in Austria: Although about 20% of the population in Austria does not hold Austrian citizenship, this group accounts for only 9.4% of hospital patients and 9.8% of total hospital nights.
In modern medicine, few diseases are as steeped in emotive and metaphorical language as cancer. It's often spoken about as a battle pitched against a cunning enemy. A foe to be beaten. These phrases are so common that we don't think twice about them, but they deeply affect how we understand cancer, how people experience it and how we care for the people who live with it.
Daily sleep and activity are fundamental to both physical and mental health. Although previous studies have largely emphasized quantitative aspects such as sleep duration and physical activity time, there is increasing focus on how daily sleep varies among days.
Cardiovascular researchers at UC Davis Health have developed a novel technique that allows scientists to study how the brain communicates with other organs, like the heart or gut. The new method preserves the brain tissue in animal research while simultaneously collecting living (unfixed) samples from other organs.
A remotely delivered behavioral intervention can reduce variability in systolic blood pressure, expressed as the coefficient of variation (BPCoV), according to a study published online Aug. 12 in Scientific Reports.
For patients with inflammatory bowel disease and obesity, bariatric surgery is associated with improved inflammatory bowel disease-related outcomes, according to a study published online July 22 in BJS Open.
The 2025 Canadian wildfire season is on track to be the country's second worst on record, burning more than 16.5 million acres and causing wildfire smoke to travel to the Midwest and Northeast United States. Though we may know the air quality is poor through monitoring and subsequent air quality warnings, the physical and mental health implications of wildfire smoke are not entirely known.
A new study by USC Leonard Davis School of Gerontology researchers shows that Americans with less education are aging faster than their peers with more schooling, and the gap has grown over the last 30 years.
Jeffrey Carson spent more than a decade persuading hospitals that fewer, resource-saving blood transfusions work just as well as more frequent transfusions for most patients. More recently, the Rutgers internist finished a massive study that indicates a major exception to the rule: anemic heart attack patients.
As we age, our cells replicate, and the DNA in these cells can acquire mistakes—or mutations—every time the sequence is copied. Most newly acquired mutations are harmless, but some can tip the balance toward cancer development later in life.
Prioritizing communications between patients and health care providers and increasing patient education about chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) could help improve patient care, according to a new study published in the July 2025 issue of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseases: Journal of the COPD Foundation.
Research out of the University of New Hampshire shows that communities that were easier for people to lace up and get out for a walk during the COVID-19 pandemic also helped lower the impact of mental health issues, like stress and anxiety.
Brucellosis is a serious and often neglected disease endemic to many low- and middle-income countries around the world. Because it shares many of the same clinical symptoms as malaria—including fever and joint pain—it can be misdiagnosed.
Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital demonstrated for the first time that the protein midkine plays a preventative role against Alzheimer's disease. Midkine is known to accumulate in Alzheimer's disease patients. Now, researchers have connected it with amyloid beta, a protein that accumulates in the brain, causing assemblies that are a hallmark of Alzheimer's.
The COVID-19 virus hijacks the machinery of testicular cells that produce the hormone testosterone in order to replicate. It also appropriates the metabolic pathways of these cells and cholesterol, a precursor of testosterone, thereby altering lipid metabolism for its formation.
More than 30 million Americans rely on implanted medical devices like prosthetic joints, pacemakers and more to improve their quality of life. But implanting any foreign object into the body also carries the risk of introducing deadly fungal infections.
Breast cancer patients who participated in a remote weight loss intervention program lost an average of 4.7% of their baseline body weight after one year, while those in the education only control group gained an average 1% of their baseline weight, according to a new report from Dana-Farber Cancer Institute investigators. The findings from the Breast Cancer Weight Loss (BWEL) clinical trial set the stage for ongoing research to determine if weight loss following breast cancer treatment can reduce the risk of cancer recurrence and extend survival.
A team of researchers at the University of Cologne's Center for Biochemistry, together with the Bambino Gesù Pediatric Hospital in Rome, Italy, have discovered a fundamental biological mechanism that directly connects the immune sensor protein STING to inflammatory cell death.
An artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted model that combines a patient's MRI, biochemical, and clinical information shows preliminary promise in improving predictions of whether their knee osteoarthritis may soon worsen. Ting Wang of Chongqing Medical University, China, and colleagues have published this model in the journal PLOS Medicine.
