Guidelines issued for vaccination as part of cardiovascular care

A study conducted by The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) has demonstrated that a genetic variant, TREM2 H157Y, significantly increases the risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD) in individuals of ethnic Chinese descent. The research reveals that this variant confers a risk level comparable to that of the strongest known genetic risk factor for AD, APOE-ε4, and is associated with more rapid clinical progression and more severe neurodegeneration.

How to identify the next dangerous virus before it spreads among people is the central question in a new Comment in The Lancet Infectious Diseases. In it, researchers discuss how AI, combined with the One Health approach, can contribute to improved prediction and surveillance.

In 2020, right when Jane Baude was starting her Ph.D. research at UC Santa Barbara, she learned that a critical component of her experiment—the gel needed to grow and test mammary epithelial cells—wouldn't be available for nearly a year because of pandemic-related production issues. So, she and her advisor, professor Ryan Stowers, decided to pivot: Baude would engineer her own gel to study cells.

In a paper published in Nature Communications, researchers at Vanderbilt University Medical Center's Department of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery leveraged two main studies—one focused on behavior and one focused on genetics—to highlight the correlation between participants' musical rhythm abilities and developmental speech-language disorders.

What if the presence of a well-known but misunderstood viral protein explains why some people living with HIV (PLWH) never recover their health, even with antiretroviral treatment?

Cancer researchers focused on improving the success of cancer immunotherapies introduced a new tool in a Yale study published in Nature Chemical Biology.

An association between higher education and better brain health can still be seen in people over 90, according to a new study. In contrast, midlife risk factors for cardiovascular disease were not found to be linked to memory function at this advanced age.

The European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) has released its ninth special report on indications for hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) and chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy. The report provides updated guidance for clinicians treating hematological diseases, solid tumors, and immune disorders.

Walmart, the nation's largest retailer, has announced a sweeping plan to remove synthetic food dyes and 30 other additives from its store brands sold in the U.S. by January 2027.

Matthew Taylor likened his recently published work alongside doctoral student Gary Dunn to kicking over a rock. Once the discovery was made, it was time to see what lay beneath.

A new study from researchers at Intermountain Health in Salt Lake City finds that a comprehensive program with a strong focus on education in the health system's urgent care clinics and emergency departments significantly increased HIV testing for patients being evaluated for other sexually transmitted diseases, helping to increase the number of previously undiagnosed patients who learned they were living with HIV and promptly connected to care.

Hearing loss and allergic rhinitis are associated with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), with a stronger association seen in patients with both conditions than either one alone, according to a study published online Sept. 12 in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health.

Numbers are all around us. In the morning, we wake up to an alarm that tells us it's time to get out of bed. When deciding what to wear, we often check the temperature outside. We count out the vitamins or prescription pills we need to take while eating our breakfast, we estimate how long it will take to get to the station and then check what platform we need to be on to catch the train to work.

The phrases "autism spectrum" or "on the spectrum" have become part of everyday language. They are often used as different ways of referring to someone who is "neurodivergent."

Family affluence shields children from the risks of obesity and unhealthy eating habits, even when they're surrounded by unhealthy food options, according to a study co-led by researchers at University College London (UCL).

While many parents assume that putting a child to bed means they will quickly be asleep, a new study from researchers at Brown University found that's often not the case.

Drug use disorder (DUDs), also called drug addiction, is the chronic and relapsing use of psychoactive substances in spite of considerable harm to the patient. The UN Office on Drugs and Crime has estimated that more than 250 million people around the world used illegal drugs at least occasionally in 2021, while 39.5 million people suffered from DUD.

A study led by UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center investigators found that stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), a form of high-dose radiation delivered in just five sessions, after prostate surgery is safe and as effective as traditional, longer courses of radiation in preventing prostate cancer from returning.
