Pairing up for health care visits helps most older adults who have tried it, poll finds

Skoltech scientists and their colleagues from other Russian medical research centers and mental health institutions have confirmed they can reliably distinguish patients with psychiatric disorders from healthy individuals based on nothing more than a blood sample.

The risks of continuing participation in contact sports during pregnancy may be much lower than previously assumed, according to a University of Alberta pregnancy researcher who says the benefits to mental health and postpartum recovery may compel athletes to stay with their sport deeper into pregnancy.

Researchers from University of California San Diego School of Medicine have found that testing for lipoprotein(a)—a genetic risk factor for heart disease—remains uncommon in the United States, despite modest increases over the past decade. The findings were published in JACC: Advances.

Researchers at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities have successfully 3D printed lifelike human tissue structures that can be used for medical training for surgeons and doctors.

Living in a resource-deprived area may increase your risk of certain psychiatric conditions, according to a recent study from the University of Georgia published in Social Psychiatry and Psychiatric Epidemiology.

About 12 million adults in the United States are affected by PTSD, impacting between 4% and 8% of the adult population—and up to 30% of military personnel and veterans. Strikingly, 63% of veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder also suffer from alcohol use disorder (AUD) and/or chronic pain. These conditions frequently overlap, with individuals who have AUD or chronic pain often also experiencing PTSD.

Generic versions of a groundbreaking injectable HIV-prevention drug should be available for $40 a year in more than 100 countries from 2027, Unitaid and the Gates Foundation said Wednesday.

Consumers read common supplement label phrases as promises of disease prevention or treatment, according to University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center and Duke University Medical Center research.

Researchers at University of California San Diego, part of the national HEALthy Brain and Child Development (HBCD) Study Consortium, have announced the first data release from this landmark study, providing scientists around the world with new ways to answer critical questions about human brain development in early childhood. This inaugural data release includes comprehensive biomedical and behavioral data from more than 1,400 pregnant women and their children, collected across three early developmental stages from birth through nine months of age.

Using magnetic cameras, researchers at Linköping University have examined blood flow in an artificial heart in real time. The results make it possible to design the heart in a way to reduce the risk of blood clots and red blood cell breakdown, a common problem in today's artificial hearts.

At an explosive news conference on the causes of autism, President Donald Trump espoused decades-old, long-debunked theories linking autism to the childhood vaccine schedule.

California's far northern region is a collection of sparsely populated counties stretching from just north of Sacramento all the way up to Oregon and from the Pacific coast to the Nevada border. The shortage of doctors is so pervasive that support for one of the costliest solutions—a proposed $200 million health care training campus—transcends partisanship.

President Donald Trump's announcement advising Americans against taking acetaminophen during pregnancy to avoid the chance of autism was met with pushback from some lawmakers, including a key GOP health figure.

Biologist Grant Hokit went to a small meadow in the mountains outside Condon, Montana, to look for ticks. A hiking path crossed the expanse of long grasses and berry bushes.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) remain the leading cause of disease burden, causing one in three deaths worldwide as a result of population growth, population aging and exposure to a broad range of risks, including increasing rates of obesity and diabetes, according to the latest Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study special report published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology (JACC).

It may not be age that is making your hair thin or fall out, but rather what you are eating and drinking.

Over the past few decades, biomedical researchers and neuroscientists have devised increasingly advanced techniques to study and alter neurophysiological processes. These include CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats), a sophisticated tool to edit specific genes in some animals, including mice, rats, zebrafish and fruit flies.

New machine learning models developed by University of South Australia (UniSA) researchers could help clinicians identify when patients can successfully stop long-term antidepressant use.
