It's not the pain, it's the mindset: How attitude outweighs pain

University of Colorado Cancer Center member Matthew Sikora, Ph.D., is a national leader in research into an understudied subtype of breast cancer that's on the rise in American women, is often more difficult to detect than other forms of breast cancer, and has sharply lower survival rates several years after diagnosis than the most common type of breast cancer.

People of African-Caribbean ethnicity with Type 2 diabetes are a third more likely to develop a condition called sight-threatening diabetic retinopathy (STDR) than other ethnic groups, according to researchers from King's.

Listening to music when you are over 70 years of age has been linked to a 39% reduction in the risk of dementia, according to a Monash University-led study of over 10,800 older people.

Tuberculosis (TB) remains the world's leading cause of death from a single infectious agent. A new study recently published in The Lancet Global Health and supported by the World Health Organization (WHO) shows that expanding TB screening and preventive treatment could dramatically reduce TB incidence and deliver substantial economic returns.

JMIR Publications today announced the publication of a timely recap and interview with the co-chair of the Division of Clinical Informatics (DCI) Network's conference on ethical, effective implementation of artificial intelligence (A) in health care. The article, titled "Event Recap: Finding the Signal Through the Noise in Health Care AI at DCI Network's AI Conference," was written by Scientific News Editor, Kayleigh-Ann Clegg, Ph.D.

Australian-founded medical technology company SYMBYX today announced compelling results from a 72-week randomized controlled trial (RCT) demonstrating improvements in a range of Parkinson's disease symptoms. These results, published in the Journal of Clinical Medicine, provide further evidence that light therapy, especially when combined with exercise, can be a safe adjunct therapy for people living with Parkinson's.

Social media and lifestyle magazines have turned gluten—a protein in wheat, rye and barley—into a dietary villain.

Melbourne scientists have revealed how hydrogen is made and used in the human gut. Though infamous for making flatulence ignite, hydrogen also has a positive role supporting gut health.

Researchers from the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore (NUS Medicine), have published a review on BH3 mimetics—a new class of drugs that are reshaping the treatment landscape for acute myeloid leukemia (AML), one of the most aggressive and treatment-resistant blood cancers. The work is published in Nature Reviews Clinical Oncology.

Abdominal and chest pain. Injuries. Breathing difficulty. Infections. Mental health emergencies. Those are some of the most common reasons why people go to the local emergency department.

Grape seed extract—a dietary supplement made from the seeds of wine grapes—has been investigated to see if it can help reduce blood cholesterol levels and high blood pressure. But can it also help slow down the growth of prostate cancer in men who have already undergone treatment?

An endoscopy—using a fiber‐optic tube to peer inside the body and collect biopsy samples—can be an invaluable way to detect cancer of the esophagus. But sometimes, an endoscopy can miss esophageal cancer, which doesn't get detected until weeks or months later.

Up to 60% of congenital and early-onset hearing loss is caused by genetic mutations in an inherited gene, and gene therapy has recently emerged as a potential treatment option. To provide a standardized framework for conducting safe, high-quality clinical trials, a group of international experts has put together guidelines on the administration of gene therapy for hereditary hearing loss.

Scientists have known hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) as the enzyme that releases energy stored in our fat. Yet patients born without this protein do not become obese: on the contrary, they lose their adipose tissue, developing lipodystrophy with severe metabolic complications.

The United States continues to face a growing maternal health crisis. Despite being one of the most resource-rich nations in the world, America has the highest maternal mortality rate among wealthy countries and it's worsening. A 2025 report found that nearly half of U.S. counties lack a single obstetrician, midwife or birthing facility, creating what experts call "maternity care deserts."

A mutation previously linked to skin disorders like psoriasis may also play a surprising role in gut health, according to new research published by scientists at VIB-UGent and colleagues from UGent, the University of Barcelona, and University College London. This mutation activates skin immune responses but also affects the intestine.

Socializing could help to reverse frailty in older people, according to new research published in the American Journal of Epidemiology.
