In August, an 80-year-old woman walked into the emergency room at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center. She was lucid but experiencing a stroke. Within minutes, doctors asked for permission to pull out the stroke-causing clot before any more brain damage could occur.
Researchers at Stanford and a Pennsylvania county are investigating new methods to minimize costly and harmful psychiatric holds.
A new clinical trial co-led by researchers at FutureNeuro and RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences is investigating how advanced brain monitoring could improve the diagnosis and management of epilepsy.
A new fast and convenient approach to scintigraphy-based monitoring allows physicians to efficiently and reliably assess prostate cancer progression or regression during treatment. With this strong prognostic information, treatments for prostate cancer patients can be personalized according to tumor evolution, significantly impacting their overall survival.
EPFL researchers have demonstrated the first pill-sized bioprinter that can be swallowed and guided within the gastrointestinal tract, where it directly deposits bio-ink over damaged tissues to support repair.
As cancer survivorship rises, many people living with or beyond cancer face lasting physical and emotional challenges—particularly anxiety and depression, which affect about 30% of this population. Emotional distress is often unspoken, leading to fear, despair, and diminished quality of life.
Art Martinez, a clinical psychologist and member of the Chumash Tribe, helped run an American Indian youth ceremonial camp. Held at a sacred tribal site in Northern California, it was designed to help kids' mental health. He remembers a 14-year-old girl who had been struggling with substance use and was on the brink of hospitalization.
The surface of the lungs is covered with a fluid that increases their deformability. This fluid has the greatest effect when you take deep breaths from time to time, as researchers at ETH Zurich have discovered using sophisticated measurement techniques in the laboratory.
Patients placed on mechanical ventilation are commonly put under deep sedation, to ease the stress and discomfort of having a machine breathe for them.
Could a future vaccine against cancer be made better by an immune-boosting virus? Very likely, say Canadian scientists, who've proven its effectiveness in experiments on mice.
Researchers at Tufts University School of Medicine and Tufts Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences have found a surprising connection between a fungus associated with alcohol use disorder and the brain's dopamine reward pathway.
People who feel supported by family, friends and colleagues tend to have better mental health, perform more effectively at work and experience positive outcomes in other areas such as physical health, education and risk-taking behaviors, according to research published in the journal Psychological Bulletin.
Identifying the neural mechanisms that support the regulation of vital physiological processes, such as drinking, eating and sleeping, is a long-standing goal within the neuroscience research community. As the disruption of these processes can severely impact people's health and everyday functioning, uncovering their neural and biological underpinnings is of the utmost importance.
Researchers led by Wake Forest University School of Medicine and Atrium Health have judged the certainty of evidence on behavioral therapies for irritable bowel syndrome to be low to very low as many published trials show publication bias and methodological risk of bias.
A person living in the suburbs of New York City has tested positive for chikungunya, a mosquito-borne virus that is more often seen in South America and hasn't been transmitted on the U.S. mainland in a decade.
For the first time in more than a decade, the number of states with rates of obesity of 35% or more dropped, an encouraging sign that America's epidemic of excess weight might be improving. But cuts to federal staff and programs that address chronic disease could endanger that progress, according to a new report released Thursday.
Community sporting clubs must rethink how they engage parents if they want to stop the slide in young people dropping out of sport, according to new Flinders University research.
A UNLV-led team of researchers has co-opted a common kitchen spice to create a new class of cannabidiol (CBD)-like medicines that show powerful seizure-reducing effects—offering a safer, more affordable, and more effective treatment for childhood seizure disorders than existing frontline therapies.
One in four hepatologists in the United States screened positive for unhealthy alcohol use in a survey study conducted by UCLA. Researchers say the findings underscore the critical need for accessible physician wellness programs and reduced stigma around doctors seeking help.
