A new artificial intelligence model found previously undetected signals in routine heart tests that strongly predict which patients will suffer potentially deadly complications after surgery. The model significantly outperformed risk scores currently relied upon by doctors.
GLP-1 receptor agonists like Ozempic can be a lifeline for people with diabetes—helping stabilize blood glucose and lose weight, which contributes to diabetes complications. But not everyone benefits equally.
A bout of the common bladder infection, cystitis, may signal the presence of urogenital cancers—which affect parts of the body involved in reproduction and excretion—in middle-aged adults, suggests research published in the open access journal BMJ Public Health.
Mortality after emergency abdominal surgery is more than three times higher in the least developed countries compared to the most developed. Yet among those who undergo surgery, injuries tend to be less severe—raising concerns that those most critically injured are not even reaching the operating theater.
A lack of soap is the most often reported barrier to effective hand hygiene—key to curbing the spread of infection—in shared community spaces, such as households, schools, and public places, finds a systematic review of the available research, published in the open access journal BMJ Global Health.
A new international study presented at the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (EADV) Congress 2025 reveals that adults with atopic eczema (AE) are significantly more likely to experience suicidal thoughts, with researchers uncovering the key factors driving this elevated risk.
Maintaining weight loss with regular exercise rather than the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) liraglutide, a drug used to treat type 2 diabetes and obesity, seems to reduce atherosclerosis development in adults with obesity—a leading underlying cause of cardiovascular disease.
GLP-1 receptor agonist drugs protect against diabetic retinopathy, a common complication of diabetes that can lead to sight loss, suggests new research being presented at the annual meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) in Vienna, Austria (15–19 September) and published in the journal Pharmaceutics.
New research has shown how harmful gambling is clearly linked to a marked and long-lasting increase in suicide attempts among young people in the UK.
A key federal vaccine advisory panel whose members were recently replaced by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is expected to vote to recommend delaying until age 4 the hepatitis B vaccine that's currently given to newborns, according to two former senior Centers for Disease Control and Prevention officials.
Researchers at Sutter's California Pacific Medical Center (CPMC) in San Francisco, Calif. have identified potential new therapeutic strategies for patients with advanced melanoma who no longer respond to immunotherapy—an aim representing one of the most pressing clinical challenges in cancer care today.
For a long time, physicians and scientists believed our lungs were sterile (germ-free). But modern science indicates otherwise. Now we know they contain allergens, bacteria or viruses we inhale, such as influenza or SARS-COV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. When those contaminants combine with inflammation, it can lead to chronic lung disease.
Researchers at the University of Calgary studying a lethal lung disease called pulmonary fibrosis have found that neurons known to help detect pain are also critical for reducing harmful lung inflammation that leads to the disease.
Stanford Medicine researchers have developed an artificial intelligence tool to help scientists better plan gene-editing experiments. The technology, CRISPR-GPT, acts as a gene-editing "copilot" supported by AI to help researchers—even those unfamiliar with gene editing—generate designs, analyze data and troubleshoot design flaws.
A drug called riluzole, commonly used to treat amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and other motor neuron diseases, could also assist in recovery from spinal cord injuries, according to research from the University of Toronto's Temerty Faculty of Medicine.
A UCLA-led study has found that a surgical technique developed to protect vision in patients with uveal melanoma, a rare cancer that arises inside the eye, may also lower the risk of the disease spreading and improve survival—a development researchers say could change the way the cancer is treated.
Abbreviated, 15- to 30-minute medication visits have become common in psychiatry now that many insurers model their reimbursement patterns on internal medicine and surgery. To support practicing psychiatrists, a series of four columns in the Journal of Psychiatric Practice, describes how to feasibly combine brief psychotherapy with longitudinal pharmacotherapy. The final installment appears in the September issue.
Cardiac arrest happens when the heart stops pumping blood properly, cutting off oxygen to the brain and other vital organs. In these emergencies, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) can help keep blood and oxygen moving until medical help arrives. For children, CPR usually needs both chest compressions and rescue breaths, because many cases are caused by breathing problems such as drowning, choking, or serious illness.
Mayo Clinic researchers have developed a new way to predict whether existing drugs could be repurposed to treat heart failure, one of the world's most pressing health challenges. By combining advanced computer modeling with real-world patient data, the team has created "virtual clinical trials" that may facilitate the discovery of effective therapies while reducing the time, cost, and risk of failed studies.
