Scientists from Duke-NUS Medical School, in collaboration with researchers in Nepal, have found that waning immunity to Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) may increase the risk of more severe dengue disease in humans.
Imagine someone you care about suddenly experiencing chest pain, turning pale, and breathing heavily. These are some of the symptoms of a heart attack.
A Spanish study shows that patients with genetic dilated cardiomyopathy who experience severe arrhythmias are at an elevated risk of developing advanced heart failure and requiring a heart transplant.

A Ph.D. student at the University of Bristol has developed a convenient and cost-effective wearable patch to measure subtle temperature changes across the breast, which could in future be used to detect potential abnormalities and cancerous tumors.
Pregnancy complications such as preeclampsia and preterm birth often arise during the late stage of pregnancy. However, researchers have primarily relied on placental cells from early pregnancy to study these conditions, which may not fully reflect the biology of late-stage complications.
A large-scale cross-sectional study of older individuals in the UK supports contextual, process-based models of mental health that emphasize values-guided behavior, psychosocial resources and biopsychosocial integration, according to a study published in the open-access journal PLOS Mental Health by Darren Edwards from Swansea University, UK, and colleagues.
In the U.K., four in 10 citizens identify as being lonely at least some of the time, and people who report being often lonely incur about £850 more in annual National Health Service costs than their non-lonely counterparts, according to a study published in the open-access journal PLOS One by Nia Morrish from the University of Exeter, U.K., and colleagues.
A new study reveals the profound emotional and physical toll of extreme morning sickness, with more than half of affected women reporting they considered terminating their pregnancy, and nine in 10 saying they had thought about not having more children.

A new study led by the University of Portsmouth suggests our saliva is stronger than we thought. The research, published in PLOS One, is the first to examine how drinking apple juice affects saliva's lubricating properties using advanced scientific techniques.
Individuals with an increased risk of dementia due to Alzheimer's disease may have impaired spatial orientation skills. DZNE researchers have come to this conclusion based on a study involving around 100 older adults who were tasked with determining their position within a virtual environment.
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of death and disability for adults in the U.S. Recent projections from the American Heart Association suggest that by 2050, more than 45 million American adults will have clinical CVD and more than 184 million will have hypertension.
Transplanting hematopoietic stem cells from healthy individuals is one of the possible treatments for blood cancers. In Switzerland, it involves nearly 300 patients per year. However, nearly half of transplants fail, mainly due to complications related to imperfect genetic compatibility between the donor and recipient.
Obtaining a prefrontal cortex (PFC) biopsy during deep brain stimulation (DBS) procedures is safe, according to a study published online Sept. 3 in Neurosurgery.
Ethiopia has built a national emergency medical team and hosts Africa's first World Health Organization (WHO)-certified regional training hub. It offers a robust, African-led model for strengthening health emergency response systems across the continent.
Long-term use of benzodiazepine and related drugs has been linked to poorer quality sleep in older adults with insomnia.
