Can poverty exacerbate mental health problems among the youngest family members? A new study by an international team, including a researcher from SWPS University, demonstrates that financial problems do not play a significant role, and mental health problems can occur regardless of a family's financial situation.
Despite national guidelines, state laws and known safety benefits of child passenger restraint systems (CRS), suboptimal practices were found in nearly 70% of children under 13 years old who were involved in car crashes with a fatality from 2011 to 2021, according to a study published in the journal Traffic Injury Prevention.
Aging and neurodegeneration are both known to disrupt the production of functional proteins in cells—a process called "proteostasis," or protein homeostasis. Brain cells in particular fall prey to proteostasis disruptions, which are linked to the accumulation of protein aggregates in neurodegenerative diseases.
You may have heard the phrase "my heart skipped a beat" when someone was talking about a romantic encounter. In truth, hearts that beat irregularly are dangerous for your health. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common type of irregular heartbeat, and over time, it can worsen and become a permanent condition, a severe disorder that's the leading preventable cause of ischemic stroke, according to the NIH.
Findings from St. Jude Children's Research Hospital demonstrate that virtual memory T cells, a specialized group of immune cells, provide nonspecific immunity for infants early in life.
Women who attend prenatal care visits in groups are more likely to continue with their care and have better health outcomes at birth and beyond, according to a University of Michigan study.

Genes get passed down from parents, determining traits such as eye color and height as well as risk for certain diseases.
Animals that hibernate are incredibly resilient. They can spend months without food or water, muscles refusing to atrophy, body temperature dropping to near freezing as their metabolism and brain activity slow to a crawl. When they emerge from hibernation, they recover from dangerous health changes similar to those seen in type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, and stroke.
Research from the University of Michigan Medical School finds that one in three hospitalized patients remain connected to a breathing tube after passing a spontaneous breathing trial.
By analyzing tens of thousands of genes, proteins, and protein modifications in hundreds of lung tumors, an international research team has uncovered new factors linked to poor outcomes in lung adenocarcinoma in both smokers and people who have never smoked. These factors include a pattern of DNA damage and signatures of exposures to chemicals found in processed foods and cosmetics. The findings could lead to better precision medicine strategies for this most common type of lung cancer.
