Healthy diet patterns associated with reduced risk of type 2 diabetes regardless of ethnicity

Gait assessment is critical for diagnosing and monitoring neurological disorders, yet current clinical standards remain largely subjective and qualitative. Recent advances in AI have enabled more quantitative and accessible gait analysis using widely available sensors such as smartphone cameras.

New research from Edith Cowan University (ECU) has shown age might just be a number when it comes to police recruit physical performance. This research demonstrated that factors such as body composition play a greater role in physical performance than how many birthdays you have had.

Fresh air, sunshine and time outdoors are some of the best parts of summer. But as people head outside to enjoy the good weather and get active, they're doing more than just having fun—they're also lowering their stroke risk.

As summer temperatures soar, so do cases of heat-related illness.

Research from the Regenstrief Institute and the Indiana University School of Medicine highlights a strong connection between psychological health and cardiovascular well-being, with an important focus on racial differences.

A University of Rhode Island-led cohort study links preterm index of cumulative medical risk from birth to year 12 to adult disorders at age 35.

Black men with newly diagnosed prostate cancer have lower odds of overtreatment and confirmatory testing when compared with white men, according to a research letter published online in JAMA Network Open.

Two new studies from the Department of Computational Biomedicine at Cedars-Sinai are advancing what we know about using machine learning and big data to improve health care and medical research. Both studies were published in the peer-reviewed journal Patterns.

President Donald Trump rode to reelection last fall on voter concerns about prices. But as his administration pares back federal rules and programs designed to protect patients from the high cost of health care, Trump risks pushing more Americans into debt, further straining family budgets already stressed by medical bills.

For two decades, Washington, D.C., pediatrician Lanre Falusi has counseled parents about vaccine safety, side effects, and timing. But this year, she said, the conversations have changed.

A few days after a harrowing cosmetic surgery procedure, Erin Schaeffer said, she woke up with fluid leaking from an open wound in her stomach.

New Swinburne research has found that psychological stress may lead to higher blood pressure and therefore increase the risk of heart disease and stroke.

A major international research effort led by UNSW's Center for Healthy Brain Aging (CHeBA) is reshaping our understanding of dementia by addressing a longstanding gap in global health equity.

An innovative new study from researchers at the Center for Healthy Brain Aging (CHeBA), UNSW Sydney, reveals that something as simple as a mouse's dinner could be distorting critical preclinical imaging results.

In low-resource settings, babies born with gastroschisis—a congenital condition in which the developing intestines extend outside the body through a hole in the abdominal wall—face life-threatening challenges.

Nature is often the best model for science. For nearly a century, scientists have been trying to recreate the ability of some mammals and birds to survive extreme environmental conditions for brief or extended periods by going into torpor, when their body temperature and metabolic rate drop, allowing them to preserve energy and heat.

The cancer drugs called PARP inhibitors have a puzzling reputation: even though they are treatment mainstays for multiple forms of cancer, they can damage cancer-killing T cells and disrupt the potential for meaningful therapy. New research from medical scientists in China is revealing ways to sidestep this obstacle by preventing PARP-induced collateral damage to T cells.

31 July 2025, Jerusalem, Cairo: The worst-case scenario of famine is currently playing out in the Gaza Strip, according to the alert published this week by the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC).   People are foregoing food for days. Others are dying as their undernourished, weakened bodies succumb to disease or organ failure. The health system, normally a source of sustenance and relief, is also starved of essential medical supplies, fuel, and other necessities to function fully. Humanitarian and health workers are also weak from hunger.   Dying of starvation is slow and painful. A starving child, among the most vulnerable, might cry constantly from pain until becoming too weak to even do that. If not urgently treated, a child with acute malnutrition will die.   To stop the dying and reverse this man-made tragedy will take months, if not years. Recovery for a malnourished person takes specialised medical attention, correct therapeutic feeding and supplementation. In some severe cases, consequences are lifelong, from stunted growth and impaired brain development to other lasting health complications.    While the IPC partners, including WHO, will conduct further assessments, the gravity of the situation is clear.    Food, medicines and other aid must be allowed in immediately, at scale, through all possible routes. United Nations partners have such supplies ready and waiting at the border. WHO calls on Israel to urgently facilitate the United Nations and other humanitarian actors by ensuring safe, rapid and unhindered access to delivery and distribution of aid. As ever, our call is to end Read more...
