Pre-K and elementary school students have highest virus detection rates

Drinking any amount of alcohol likely increases the risk of dementia, suggests the largest combined observational and genetic study to date, published in BMJ Evidence-Based Medicine.

New research presented at the 41st Congress of the European Committee for Treatment and Research in Multiple Sclerosis (ECTRIMS 2025) demonstrates that ocrelizumab provides superior control of multiple sclerosis (MS) relapses compared with fingolimod, natalizumab, and alemtuzumab.

Researchers from USC and Duke report in Science Advances that the persistent "know-do gap"—where clinicians know guidelines but practice differently—is the primary driver of antibiotic overprescribing for pediatric diarrhea in India's private sector, not lack of knowledge, point-of-sale profits, or stockouts of clinically recommended treatments such as oral rehydration salts (ORS).

A study by UC Berkeley School of Public Health researchers shows that personal income increased 9.6% for those who became newly eligible for Medicaid in states that expanded Medicaid in 2014.

As a wound heals, it goes through several stages: clotting to stop bleeding, immune system response, scabbing, and scarring. A wearable device called "a-Heal," designed by engineers at the University of California, Santa Cruz, aims to optimize each stage of the process. The system uses a tiny camera and AI to detect the stage of healing and deliver a treatment in the form of medication or an electric field. The system responds to the unique healing process of the patient, offering personalized treatment.

Roughly 60,000 people worldwide die every year from rabies, a dreaded virus that attacks the nervous system and can trigger aggression, seizures, paralysis and coma.

Expanding access to lifestyle medicine education opportunities—such as continuing medical education (CME) courses, professional certification, webinars, mentoring and peer-to-peer connections, and conference participation—can facilitate the adoption of the medical specialty across health systems, according to a study published in Translational Behavioral Medicine.

How we focus our attention before we even see an object matters. For example, when we look for something moving in the sky, our expectation would be very different if the object is a bird flying past or a baseball coming straight at us.

In the den of his small apartment in Stockton, 56-year-old Rex Dangerfield sits at a table. The walls are bare, and the space stripped down to essentials. The T-shirt he wears, stamped with the words "I am a Survivor," drapes loosely over his narrow frame. When he walks to his kitchen, his steps can be uncertain.

In children and adolescents with type 2 diabetes (T2D) or obesity, glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) improve glycemic, weight, and cardiometabolic outcomes, according to a study published in JAMA Pediatrics.

A decades-old cancer drug may soon be approved to help kids with certain autism-related symptoms linked to folate deficiency.

Epilepsy patients with versus without psychiatric comorbidities have a higher proportion of abnormal brain magnetic resonance imaging and electroencephalogram findings, according to a study published in The Journal of Craniofacial Surgery.

RMIT researchers have created an experimental 3D-printed diamond–titanium device that generates electricity from flowing liquid and receives wireless power through tissue making it possible to remotely sense changes in flow.

When a pregnant woman's water breaks too early, it often leads to preterm birth, with no effective method to prevent or treat it. Researchers have discovered that the lipid molecule prostacyclin plays a key role in the repair of fetal membrane rupture.

In a new discovery, researchers from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have identified a previously underexplored population of hypothalamic neurons that plays a pivotal role in regulating energy expenditure.

About 5% of lung adenocarcinomas, one of the most common forms of lung cancer, are driven by a faulty fusion of two genes, EML4 and ALK. This fusion results in different variants, and until now, clinicians have treated all patients with these fusions the same way.

A new European health survey shows that Candidozyma auris—a dangerous drug-resistant fungus—is spreading rapidly in hospitals across the continent. Cases and outbreaks are increasing, with some countries now seeing ongoing local transmission.

Most people know roughly what kind of lifestyle they should be living to stay healthy.
