Lidocaine poisoning reports have increased since 2010

Endovascular aneurysm repair is a minimally invasive technique for the treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms—life-threatening bulges in the aorta's abdominal section. However, it carries the risk of recurrence owing to endoleaks after stent graft implantation, necessitating regular follow-up, especially since these leaks cannot be easily linked to specific symptoms.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors are well known as a form of cancer treatment. Researchers at UZH have now identified a new, important function of these inhibitors: promotion of tissue healing. This finding could help advance the treatment of fibrosis and chronic wounds.

Researchers at the Central Institute of Mental Health (CIMH) in Mannheim, together with international partners, have developed patient-derived brain organoids for the first time in order to better understand the rare genetic disease LIS1-lissencephaly. The study shows how genetic changes disrupt cell structure and protein function and thus cause different disease severities. Initial laboratory results suggest that drugs that are already available could help.

Use lifestyle interventions to show no signs of type 2 diabetes for at least three months? There's a code for that: E11.A.

New research by UCLA Health has identified a sex-chromosome linked gene that drives inflammation in the female brain, offering insight into why women are disproportionately affected by conditions such as Alzheimer's disease and multiple sclerosis as well as offering a potential target for intervention.

Food insecurity affects about one in 13 (7.8%) U.K. households, with higher rates of food insecurity found in Black British households and people with long-term mental health conditions, according to a study published in the open-access journal PLOS One by Maddy Power of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, U.K., and colleagues.

Most children with neurogenic bladder (NGB) and diagnosed with febrile urinary tract infection (UTI) in the emergency department (ED) did not meet a commonly recommended definition for UTI, according to a study published online Sept. 15 in the Journal of Pediatric Urology.

Child atopic dermatitis (AD) is associated with higher maternal depression scores, according to a study published online Oct. 5 in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology.

For better or worse, screentime has become a mainstay in family life—but FIU researchers say boundaries are possible with just a few simple changes.

Sometimes, you discover history in a garage, stored in dusty boxes, or in memories that go unspoken for decades. Often, it falls to the next generation—curious and respectful—to do the necessary work of sifting, sorting and asking questions.

If you spend time around little kids, you may notice one topic seems to be more interesting and hilarious than any other.

Scientists have uncovered a link between COVID-19 control measures and a surge in serious infections in children following the pandemic.

Neuroscientists at Columbia and McGill have discovered that high levels of a brain chemical cause depression and suicidal thoughts in people who experienced trauma or adversity during childhood.

A team at the Technical University of Munich's TUM University Hospital has implanted a brain‐computer interface in a patient paralyzed from the neck down. The five‐hour procedure was the first of its kind performed in Europe. The device enables research that could one day help restore independence and improve quality of life for patients. In particular, the scientists hope to enable the 25‐year‐old patient to control his smartphone and a robotic arm using only his thoughts. The researchers are now seeking additional participants.

Multiple sclerosis, which affects around one in 500 people in Switzerland, is an autoimmune disease in which immune cells attack the central nervous system, causing irreversible damage. Current treatments involve blocking the immune system to prevent it from attacking the body. Although effective, these drugs can trigger potentially serious infections.

After a 20-year absence, there were 10 cases of locally transmitted malaria in the United States in 2023, according to a study published online Oct. 6 in JAMA Network Open.

Our new study highlights a crucial, but often hidden, aspect of child health—the mental health impact of living with two or more neurodevelopmental conditions.

Previous studies have reported that a high consumption of ultra-processed foods is associated with an increased risk of developing cardiovascular diseases, while other studies have shown that a diet including a large proportion of plant-based products—when nutritionally balanced—may reduce the risk of developing these diseases.
