Epilepsy patients with versus without psychiatric comorbidities have a higher proportion of abnormal brain magnetic resonance imaging and electroencephalogram findings, according to a study published in The Journal of Craniofacial Surgery.

RMIT researchers have created an experimental 3D-printed diamond–titanium device that generates electricity from flowing liquid and receives wireless power through tissue making it possible to remotely sense changes in flow.

When a pregnant woman's water breaks too early, it often leads to preterm birth, with no effective method to prevent or treat it. Researchers have discovered that the lipid molecule prostacyclin plays a key role in the repair of fetal membrane rupture.

In a new discovery, researchers from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have identified a previously underexplored population of hypothalamic neurons that plays a pivotal role in regulating energy expenditure.

About 5% of lung adenocarcinomas, one of the most common forms of lung cancer, are driven by a faulty fusion of two genes, EML4 and ALK. This fusion results in different variants, and until now, clinicians have treated all patients with these fusions the same way.

A new European health survey shows that Candidozyma auris—a dangerous drug-resistant fungus—is spreading rapidly in hospitals across the continent. Cases and outbreaks are increasing, with some countries now seeing ongoing local transmission.

Pharmaceutical innovation saves lives. But not every "new" drug is truly new.

In two recent studies, University of Texas at Dallas researchers demonstrated how artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning can be used to address a variety of issues from a social science policy perspective.

About 19 million American adults consume dietary fish oil supplements. These supplements, which primarily consist of the omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid, are widely used as a remedy for chronic diseases. However, the effects of EPA and DHA supplementation on cancer risk have been inconsistent.

Neither the painkiller Tylenol nor vaccines have been shown to cause autism, the World Health Organization said on Tuesday, following comments from the US president and his administration to the contrary.

Hospitals worldwide, including Germany, face a growing problem with fungal infections, with an estimated 6 million cases and 3.8 million deaths each year. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), Candida—a common fungus most people encounter at least once in life—is a top concern. While many know it from mild, superficial infections such as thrush, Candida (especially C. auris and C. albicans) can also reach the bloodstream and cause life-threatening disease.

Mayo Clinic researchers have developed artificial intelligence (AI) tools that help identify which children with asthma face the highest risk of serious asthma exacerbation and acute respiratory infections. The study, published in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, found the tools can detect those risks as early as age 3.

In the United States, age-related macular degeneration is a leading cause of irreversible vision loss in people who are 60 and older.
