New research from the Center for Integration of Science and Industry at Bentley University found no evidence to support claims that the price reductions anticipated under the Inflation Reduction Act would decrease R&D spending or investment in innovation.
For some, the word "histamine" might evoke thoughts of seasonal allergies: runny noses, scratchy throats and itchy eyes. But the molecule also influences exercise performance.
During puberty, all kinds of hormonal changes take place in the body, which lead to the development of external sexual characteristics, such as breast growth, a lower voice or body hair growth. For transgender young people who do not identify with the gender assigned to them at birth, these are often undesirable changes, which can be very drastic.
Researchers at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience (IoPPN) at King's College London have identified a range of weight-loss behaviors that are not included in current assessment criteria for eating disorders. These gaps may lead to missed or incorrect eating disorder diagnoses and treatment plans.
A virtual ward bed uses four times less carbon than a traditional inpatient bed, so helping the NHS achieve its net zero target by 2045, finds the first study of its kind, published in the open-access journal BMJ Innovations.
Cannabis use is linked to a doubling in the risk of dying from cardiovascular disease, with significantly heightened risks of having a stroke or acute coronary syndrome—sudden reduced or blocked blood flow to the heart—finds a pooled analysis of real-world data, published online in the journal Heart.
A clinical trial involving adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D) has found a combination therapy may reduce chronic kidney disease and improve health outcomes. The findings could help guide more precision care for young people with T1D.
COPD patients who receive intensive guidance from a hospital pharmacist during their stay use their inhalation medication more correctly and with greater confidence. This was shown in a study conducted by Annelies I.M. Walravens and Emma Walravens (Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy, Vrije Universiteit Brussel), in collaboration with colleagues from—among others—the Queen Elisabeth Institute in Oostduinkerke. The study also demonstrated that the applied protocol is feasible in clinical practice and widely supported by health care professionals.
Cancer and heart disease, two leading causes of death worldwide, may be more connected than we previously thought, according to a new UCLA Health study revealing that certain cardiac blood markers can strongly predict future cancer risk—even in people with no history or symptoms of heart disease.
The University of Twente is introducing its first MDR-compliant open-source medical device: the 3D base plate. This open-source initiative provides an alternative route to low-risk medical devices that are not commercially viable. However, it does have a clinical added value for the patient.
Aging is the primary risk factor for cancer, dementia, and cardiovascular diseases. As the understanding of the biology of aging constantly improves, there are already initial approaches to geroprotection, which seeks to reduce the age-related risk of disease and thus extend healthy lifespan.
A study published in the Journal of Marketing reveals a powerful way to combat declining physical activity levels: anthropomorphizing fitness equipment. This novel approach, explored by researchers Lili Wang of Zhejiang University and Maferima Touré-Tillery of Northwestern University, highlights how assigning human-like traits to workout tools can transform exercise routines.
Doctors' decisions to prescribe antibiotics are strongly influenced by their own use of and attitudes toward antibiotics—and even more so by their beliefs about their peers' behavior. A new study published in Kyklos shows that Swedish doctors who perceive their colleagues as being restrictive about antibiotic prescriptions are more likely to refrain from prescribing the medication themselves.
A new study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences reveals that chronic exposure to artificial light at night (LAN) can trigger depression-like behaviors by activating a specific neural pathway in the brain.
Many people with mental health or substance use disorders experience stigma and perceived biases when seeking medical care—not directly related to their mental health—in a hospital emergency department (ED/ER), according to research by the University of Massachusetts Amherst.
Digital inhalers may help predict impending acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), according to a new study published in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseases: Journal of the COPD Foundation.
In 2023, 48 states and the District of Columbia reported 2,770 human arboviral disease cases, with West Nile Virus (WNV) being the most common, according to research published in the June 12 issue of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.
Following the Dobbs v Jackson Women's Health Organization (2022) decision, 42% of surveyed clinicians who provided abortions in states banning abortion relocated to another state, almost all to states not banning abortion, according to a research letter published online June 11 in JAMA Network Open.
A research team led by Prof. Li Hai from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a new computational model that can accurately predict lung motion caused by breathing, offering safer and more precise options for lung biopsies and radiotherapy. The findings were published in Computerized Medical Imaging and Graphics.
