Heather Bowers doesn't recall all the details of her first cholesterol screening. It was at a college health fair two decades ago, and even though her numbers came back "borderline high," she responded in a way that many people in their 20s might.
A study led by researchers at the National Cancer Institute-designated Montefiore Einstein Comprehensive Cancer Center (MECCC) has found that mutations in blood-forming cells may explain the increased risk for leukemia and other blood disorders among first responders exposed to the 9/11 World Trade Center (WTC) disaster site and its toxic dust.
Harvard Medical School, Brigham and Women's Hospital, and Dell Medical School researchers report that rising rates of early-onset cancer in the United States may reflect more diagnoses rather than more disease.
Adolescent athletes' cardiovascular system may adapt to increased cardiorespiratory fitness by increasing blood pressure, arterial stiffness and heart growth, a new study shows. The study was conducted in collaboration between the Technical University of Munich and the University of Eastern Finland, and the results were published in the American Journal of Physiology-Heart and Circulatory Physiology.
Everyone knows staying hydrated is important, but new research highlights just how important it is for a less obviously related area of health—sleep.
Changing health habits—like quitting smoking, exercising more, or sticking to prescribed treatments—is difficult but crucial for preventing and managing chronic diseases. Motivational interviewing (MI), a patient-centered counseling method that helps people find their own motivation to change, has proven effective across many health care settings.
McGill University researchers have developed an artificial intelligence tool that can detect previously invisible disease markers inside single cells.
Sometimes, aches and pains get dismissed as a normal part of getting older. In the case of peripheral artery disease, or PAD, those pains can be signs of a serious problem.
Flu season is fast approaching in the northern hemisphere. And a taste-based influenza test could someday have you swapping nasal swabs for chewing gum. A new molecular sensor has been designed to release a thyme flavor when it encounters the influenza virus.
Smoking remains one of the most deleterious habits for human health, as it is known to increase the risk of several life-threatening diseases, including lung and throat cancers, heart disease and strokes. While most smokers are well aware of its associated health risks, ceasing this habit can be a very difficult process.
The number of cancer rehabilitation programs in Australia has more than doubled in the past decade, but availability remains limited, with many survivors struggling to get the support they need, according to researchers at La Trobe University.
Scientists have, for the first time, directly visualized and quantified the protein clusters believed to trigger Parkinson's, marking a major advance in the study of the world's fastest-growing neurological disease.
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy, which uses a patient's own immune cells to fight cancer, has emerged as a powerful way to treat lymphoma and other blood cancers. But researchers have struggled to adapt the treatment for solid tumors—including prostate, breast, lung and ovarian cancer—which make up about 90% of all cancer cases.
The Trump administration on Tuesday announced a deal granting Pfizer a three-year reprieve on planned tariffs as the pharmaceutical giant vowed to voluntarily lower the prices of unspecified drugs for US purchase.
Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York, Boston Medical Center, and Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine, have developed a software platform to help scientists more easily analyze the molecular structure of tissue in both healthy and disease states. Details on the platform, called Giotto Suite, were reported in Nature Methods.
A looming deadline at work, a clogged toilet, an argument with a loved one—these daily hassles can make any day feel more stressful. When these demands pile up, it can feel overwhelming, like there's no end in sight. Yet, the perception of control could make resolving these everyday inconveniences easier, according to a new study from a team including researchers from Penn State.
A study evaluating how various shift work patterns contribute to kidney stone risk has revealed that shift workers have a 15% higher risk of developing kidney stones, especially younger workers and those with low levels of manual labor. Body mass index (BMI), fluid intake, and other lifestyle factors play key roles contributing to the occurrence of kidney stones.
A retrospective study found that the 313-SNP breast cancer polygenic risk score (PRS313) blood test could predict future incidents of breast cancer in women diagnosed with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) or lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS).
People who sleep poorly are more likely than others to have brains that appear older than they actually are. This is according to a comprehensive brain imaging study from Karolinska Institutet, published in the journal eBioMedicine. The paper is titled "Poor sleep health is associated with older brain age: the role of systemic inflammation."
