Mathematical models help correct errors in MRI brain blood flow imaging

The Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal) has launched HTGAnalyzer, a new, easy-to-use, fast and reproducible bioinformatics tool for advanced transcriptomic data analysis. Designed within the R statistical environment, this package simplifies complex analytical processes, making them accessible to professionals without specific expertise in bioinformatics.

Aggressive immigration practices—such as detention, deportation, and workplace raids—are contributing to widespread emotional trauma among both immigrant and U.S.-born children living in mixed-status households, according to a report published by a team of mental health professionals in the School of Medicine at the University of California, Riverside.

A new weight loss pill made by Eli Lilly helped people lose a significant amount of weight in a recent study.

Health officials in China are reporting more than 8,000 cases of chikungunya, a virus spread by mosquitoes that can cause fever and painful joints.

A team led by Vanderbilt University and Vanderbilt University Medical Center biomedical engineers and surgeons has published results of a large clinical trial showing that use of a near-infrared autofluorescence (NIRAF) probe device improves intraoperative identification of parathyroid glands (PGs).

Researchers have found that a common tool used by clinicians for predicting kidney failure could be underestimating the risk of failure for some people. The study, "Frailty in Adults with Chronic Kidney Disease and Validation of the Kidney Failure Risk Equation in Frailty Sub-Groups," is published in the Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology.

Neuroblastoma can be a particularly insidious cancer. In about half of all cases, tumors regress, even without therapy. In the other half, tumors grow very quickly. These tumors often respond well to chemotherapy at first, but usually return after one to two years. A characteristic feature of such aggressive neuroblastoma cells is an abnormally high number of copies of the oncogene MYCN.

Many New Zealand GPs have taken up the use of AI scribes to transcribe patient notes during consultations despite ongoing challenges with their legal and ethical oversight, data security, patient consent, and the impact on the doctor-patient relationship, a study led by the University of Otago, Wellington—Ōtākou Whakaihu Waka, Pōneke has found.

One-third of people older than 85 in the United States are estimated to live with Alzheimer's disease today, according to the National Institute on Aging. The condition's characteristic long, slow decline places an enormous burden on families and on society. While the need for new treatments is urgent, Alzheimer's is a complex disease that requires multidisciplinary research across a wide range of specialties.

A mobile phone app designed to deliver suicide-specific therapy reduced suicidal behavior among high-risk psychiatric inpatients, according to a new study by scientists at Yale School of Medicine and The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and College of Medicine.

Researchers at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), along with several academic partners, have reported the primary results of the Pediatric KIDney Stone (PKIDS) trial, the largest comparative effectiveness study of surgical interventions for children and adolescents with kidney stones.

If someone close to you has attempted suicide, you may be feeling scared, confused or overwhelmed.

A new editorial, led by faculty members at UC Irvine Joe C. Wen School of Population & Public Health appears in the American Journal of Public Health and urges the "Food is Medicine" (FIM) movement to course-correct—warning that without broader access strategies, it risks leaving behind the very people it aims to help.

Seoul National University College of Engineering announced that a research team has developed a wearable electronic device that attaches to the skin like a bandage and enables real-time, continuous monitoring of blood pressure over extended periods.

Researchers at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute have developed a blood test that could transform the diagnosis and monitoring of multiple myeloma (MM) and its precursor conditions. The new method, known as SWIFT-seq, utilizes single-cell sequencing to profile circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in the blood, offering a non-invasive alternative to traditional bone marrow biopsies.

Scientists have discovered how some children develop natural immunity to a bacterial infection, a vital breakthrough which could help develop vaccines to save up to half a million lives globally each year.

For people with macular telangiectasia type 2 (MacTel), an orphan retinal disorder that gradually destroys central vision, there have long been no approved treatment options. But now, a new study sponsored by Neurotech Pharmaceuticals and spearheaded by investigators at Scripps Research and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) offers compelling evidence that vision loss can be slowed with a neuroprotective surgical implant.

Many diseases affect men and women differently. Asthma tends to strike men earlier in life, yet more women develop asthma as they get older. Parkinson's is more common in men, but Alzheimer's is more common in women.
