Hormone replacement therapy may help restore immunity in menopausal women

A council of five AI models working together, discussing their answers through an iterative process, achieved 97%, 93%, and 94% accuracy on 325 medical exam questions spanning the three stages of the U.S. Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE), according to a study published in PLOS Medicine by researcher Yahya Shaikh of Baltimore, U.S., and colleagues.

The ticking of the biological clock is especially loud in the ovaries—the organs that store and release a woman's eggs. From age 25 to 40, a woman's chance of conceiving each month decreases drastically.

Tumors are not a comfortable place to live: oxygen deficiency, nutrient scarcity, and the accumulation of sometimes harmful metabolic products constantly stress cancer cells.

Elevated calcium levels in the blood—a complication of kidney cancers known as hypercalcemia—may be successfully treated with a class of medications called HIF-2α inhibitors developed by UT Southwestern Medical Center, a new study shows. The findings, published in Cancer Discovery by a team at UTSW, offer hope to patients who develop this condition.

Dr. Ahmed Lawan, an assistant professor in the College of Science at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), a part of The University of Alabama System, has published a paper in the journal Cells that demonstrates there is a potential gender component in the development of diabetes as it relates to the function of a particular enzyme.

Shame can lead people to avoid getting treatment for dental issues, potentially worsening oral health inequalities, a new study warns.

In the United States, significant numbers of adults with dementia require long-term care services. For example, around 750,000 people who live in nursing homes have a diagnosis of dementia. However, transportation insecurity for this population has not received sufficient attention. Although long-term care facilities provide basic medical services, residents with dementia often need external, preventative, and follow-up care such as specialist visits, diagnostics, and dental or vision services. Without reliable nonemergency medical transportation, these needs may go unmet.

Whether and when to use the label "dyslexia" has been a perennial debate in education.

University of Arizona researchers may have uncovered a connection between chronic pain and a somewhat uncommon immune condition, opening the door to future research on immune biomarkers for chronic pain.

Researchers at King's have found that certain breast lesions identified during routine screening may not always require removal. The findings could help reduce unnecessary procedures while maintaining high standards of patient safety.

The health risks from toxic exposures at Ground Zero of the 9/11 World Trade Center attacks are well documented, and diseases caused by those exposures continue to plague WTC responders as we approach 25 years since 9/11. A new study, led by researchers affiliated with the Stony Brook WTC Health and Wellness Program, centers on responder disease incidence for one of the deadliest cancers—lung cancer.

It might sound like a contradiction, but if you're feeling lonely, you're not alone.

Imagine you're away from home but forgot to pack your towel, razor or toothbrush.

Researchers at the Indiana University School of Medicine have discovered a new way to regulate blood glucose levels using a lab-designed protein, possibly opening the door to a new treatment avenue for people with type 1 diabetes.

There may be a way to protect brain energy to preserve cognition—and the secret could lie on your plate. Think fish and seafood, meat, non-starchy vegetables, berries, nuts, seeds, eggs and even high-fat dairy products.

The 2025 darts World Grand Prix is currently well underway. One of the favorites to win the title is Luke "The Nuke" Littler, who in January became the youngest World Champion in history at just 17 years old.

A novel disease prevention strategy—targeting a mosquito that spreads the dengue virus—significantly reduces both the mosquito numbers and cases of disease across a community, finds a major new study.

A research team in Japan has developed an innovative system that can accurately detect genetic mutations in brain tumors within just 25 minutes. Genetic mutations are crucial markers for diagnosis of brain tumors.
