New research has uncovered shared patterns between ribosomal RNAs and genes linked to brain disorders, including autism, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and schizophrenia.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, there was an unexpected increase in the number of cases of type 1 diabetes in Sweden, particularly among children under 5 and young adult men. The infection accelerated the onset of diabetes among children between the ages of 5 and 9.
We live in an age where clinical labels once confined to the DSM-5—the diagnostic manual for mental health professionals—now spill into everyday language.
The prevalence of obesity in the United States could rise sharply under a definition of obesity released earlier this year by the Lancet Diabetes and Endocrinology Commission.
Stem cells in most organisms typically take cues from adjacent cells. But new research from the Stowers Institute for Medical Research reveals planarian stem cells ignore their nearest neighbors and instead respond to signals farther away in the body. This discovery may help explain the flatworm's extraordinary ability to regenerate—and could offer clues for developing new ways to replace or repair tissues in humans.
Why are we able to recall only some of our past experiences? A new study led by Jun Nagai at the RIKEN Center for Brain Science in Japan has an answer. Surprisingly, it turns out that the brain cells responsible for stabilizing memories aren't neurons. Rather, they are astrocytes, a type of glial cell that is usually thought of as a role player in the game of learning and memory.
A research team has discovered that docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), a major omega-3 fatty acid found in fish oil, directly relaxes smooth muscle in the male reproductive tract by blocking specific calcium channels.
More than a third of Canadian teens say climate change is impacting their mental health, according to a national study led by Athabasca University researchers, published in PLOS Mental Health.
New research from the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience (IoPPN) at King's College London and the social enterprise Breathe Arts Health Research has shown that a specially designed group singing intervention, Breathe Melodies for Mums, is an effective and acceptable way to treat mothers with postnatal depression.
A study carried out by a team of researchers from The Institute of Cancer Research, London, found that combining two types of genetic tests gives doctors a much better chance of identifying multiple myeloma patients who are at risk of early relapse.
A new study from Swansea University, U.K., using population-scale data, has revealed insights into how people use health and care services in their final year of life and highlights the need for better identification and support for people needing palliative care.
California, like much of the nation, is not producing enough nurses working at bedsides to meet the needs of an aging and diverse population, fueling a workforce crunch that risks endangering quality patient care. Nearly 60% of California counties, stretching between the borders with Mexico and Oregon, face a nursing shortage, according to state data.
Researchers at the Institute for Social Research, University of Michigan, report that more than one in five young adults in the US use cannabis or alcohol to help them fall asleep. Nearly half of those who use cannabis said they sometimes relied on it for sleep, suggesting a strong link between substance use and sleep regulation during young adulthood.
How comfortable a child is in their school may influence their physical activity levels, according to a new study from the University of Georgia.
New laws signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom aim to make the artificial intelligence and social media landscape in California safer, especially for minors.
A mobile app can improve the symptoms of one of the commonest mental health problems in students—even with limited engagement, according to University of Manchester researchers.
Combining psychotherapy with low-dose ketamine, a hallucinogenic drug long used as an anesthetic, is a relatively new approach to treating severe depression and post-traumatic stress, especially in populations with high trauma rates such as firefighters, police officers, and military members. Yet evidence of the efficacy and safety of ketamine for treatment of mental health conditions is still evolving, and the market remains widely unregulated.
Iron-deficiency anemia is a common condition marked by tiredness, headaches or ice cravings. But the oral iron supplements used to treat it can leave behind excess iron that causes inflammation and an upset stomach. A new supplement reported in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces combines iron, prebiotics and probiotics. In trials, the treatment successfully restored blood iron levels in anemic mice without initiating an inflammatory response or throwing off the balance of the gut microbiota.
Doctors often must make critical decisions in minutes, relying on incomplete information. While electronic health records contain vast amounts of patient data, much of it remains difficult to interpret quickly—especially for patients with rare diseases or unusual symptoms.
