New research from The University of Toledo suggests that individuals with anemia may have a significantly higher risk of developing severe complications if they contract malaria. The findings were published this month in the peer-reviewed journal Infection and Immunity.
Lyme disease is an infectious disease caused by borrelia burgdorferi, a bacterial species that can spread to people and animals from the bite of a deer tick—also called a black-legged tick—carrying the bacteria, according to the Mayo Clinic.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced it will now be requiring updated safety labels for all opioid pain medications to better highlight the risks of long-term use, including misuse, addiction, and overdose.
Recent findings suggest that a personalized approach to recommending CPAP machines to patients with obstructive sleep apnea may decrease adverse cardiovascular events.
Complutense University of Madrid-led researchers report that eating earlier in the day blunts the weight gain ordinarily predicted by a high genetic score for obesity.
A research team at National Taiwan University has developed a new stem cell-based vaccine that could help prevent and treat colorectal cancer.
Killer immune cells destroy cancer cells and cells infected by virus. These CD8+ T cells are activated after detection of viral infection or growth of "non-self" tumor cells. However, in chronic viral infection and cancer, the killer cells often lapse into "exhausted" CD8+ T cells that no longer can stem disease.
In a new study aimed at identifying the best approach to promote colorectal cancer screening in adults aged 45 to 49, UCLA researchers found that simply mailing a stool-based test directly to people's homes was the most effective strategy for increasing screening rates.
University of Otago Ōtākou Whakaihu Waka-led research has found stress-controlling brain cells switch on and off in a steady rhythm about once every hour—even when nothing stressful is happening.
Unlike most cells in the human body, neurons—the functional cells of our nervous system—cannot typically replace themselves with healthy copies after being damaged.
The simple daily habit of standing up more often may impact heart health for postmenopausal women, according to a new study from the University of California San Diego. Researchers reported that women experiencing overweight or obesity who increased daily sit-to-stand movements saw measurable improvements in blood pressure.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), known as Lou Gehrig's disease, is an incurable neurological disorder affecting motor neurons—nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord that control voluntary muscle movement and breathing.
A new study has identified genetic variants linked to brain function, immune defense and metabolism that contribute to the development of frailty in older people. The study, published in Nature Aging by researchers from Karolinska Institutet, provides new biological insights into the onset of frailty.
A joint research team led by Professor Eijiro Miyako of the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST), in collaboration with Daiichi Sankyo Co., Ltd. and University of Tsukuba, has developed an immune-independent bacterial cancer therapy using a novel microbial consortium called AUN.
Japanese drugmaker Sumitomo Pharma said Tuesday it is seeking approval for a Parkinson's disease treatment that transplants stem cells into a patient's brain, following a successful clinical trial.
New research from the University of Arizona Mel and Enid Zuckerman College of Public Health shows that living in resource-poor neighborhoods may raise the risk of women developing diabetes during pregnancy, a condition with potential long-term effects on the health of both mother and child.
For the past decade, Sughra Ayaz has traveled door to door in southeastern Pakistan, pleading with parents to allow children to be vaccinated against polio as part of a global campaign to wipe out the paralytic disease. She hears their demands and fears. Some are practical—families need basics like food and water more than vaccines. Others are simply unfounded—the oral doses are meant to sterilize their kids.
At the time when patients with lupus, or systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), are diagnosed, approximately 15% to 30% will already have the inflammation-caused kidney disease lupus nephritis, which compromises kidney function and can lead to kidney failure. Between 30% and 50% of SLE patients will ultimately go on to develop lupus nephritis, and half of them will eventually develop end-stage renal disease.
For decades, medical professionals debated whether a common antiviral medication used to treat flu in children caused neuropsychiatric events or if the infection itself was the culprit.
