When a physician says a procedure is "rarely risky," what does that really mean? Although terms like "common" and "unlikely" may sound descriptive enough, experts in medical decision-making suggest that leaving out numbers may be misleading for patients.
Clinical trials are a crucial step in medical research, and without adequate numbers of participants, treatments can be delayed or prevented from reaching the health care market.
A grid of electrodes placed on the backs of study participants delivered enough low-voltage electrical stimulation through the skin to change the short-term function of spinal cord neurons, a study led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers showed.
If you are staring at a dark spot under your fingernail, you may want to see a dermatologist. It could be a form of melanoma.
On the last day of patient care at the Planned Parenthood clinic in Marquette, Michigan, a port town on the shore of Lake Superior, dozens of people crowded into the parking lot and alley, holding pink homemade signs that read "Thank You!" and "Forever Grateful."
Australian nurses have responded to hundreds of disaster events over the last six years, but new research led by Charles Darwin University (CDU) suggests they still aren't ready for the impact of catastrophe. The work is published in the journal Health Emergency and Disaster Nursing.
Grassroots rugby concussion guidelines need to be improved as players' brains remain altered despite them being symptom-free and cleared to play, researchers have found.
In the early months of 2020, a curious thing happened. Around the globe, a new kind of number began appearing in government briefings and newspaper headlines. These weren't just case counts or hospital admissions. They were predictions—curves plotted weeks into the future, graphs that told us when the COVID-19 wave would crest, how many ICU beds we'd need, and how soon we'd be safe again. The models had arrived.
People who have been taking antidepressants for more than two years are substantially more likely to experience withdrawal symptoms compared to short-term users when they come off the medication, finds a new study led by UCL researchers.
There is a strong association between an older person's view of how they are aging and how well they will physically recover after a fall.
Scientists in the U.K., Australia and China have identified a brain molecule called NEAT1 that appears to play a central role in triggering light sensitivity (photophobia), a common and debilitating symptom of migraines. Their findings, published in The Journal of Headache and Pain, highlight how this molecule affects the brain's pain response, contributing to the uncomfortable reaction to light that's common during migraines.
For patients with diffuse gliomas, tumor-related epilepsy (TRE) is not a strong prognostic factor, according to a study published in the May issue of Brain and Behavior.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved the humanized monoclonal antibody Zynyz (retifanlimab-dlwr) as the first first-line treatment for advanced anal cancer.
Use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) continues to rise, but this advanced form of life support is often not provided to patients equitably. Now, new research published at the ATS 2025 International Conference has confirmed that disadvantaged patients are less likely to receive ECMO, even though they live closer to hospitals that offer it.
Older adults requiring long-term care frequently experience multiple disabilities, with considerable variation in the combinations of these impairments. Because of this diversity, interventions that focus on a single impairment may not be sufficient. Therefore, understanding the complex physical and cognitive conditions of older adults in need of care is essential for developing appropriate interventions.
A new study led by Profs. Xu Tao and He Shunmin from the Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has revealed how human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genes, central to the immune system, influence both pathogen resistance and susceptibility to autoimmune diseases.
Many grooves and dimples on the surface of the brain are unique to humans, but they're often dismissed as an uninteresting consequence of packing an unusually large brain into a too-small skull.
Researchers from the University of Missouri School of Medicine have shed light on which populations are more likely to be prescribed a high dose of opioid medication. This increases their risk of developing opioid use disorder.
A study led by a physician-scientist at the University of Arizona College of Medicine–Tucson's Sarver Heart Center identified a drug candidate that appears to reverse the progression of a type of heart failure in mouse models, which could lead to expanded treatment options for humans. The results are published in the journal Cell Metabolism.
