Researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus have discovered that amniotic fluid stem cells can be safely collected from vaginal fluid after childbirth rather than relying on more invasive methods that can pose some risk to the mother and fetus.
A new international study led by researchers at McMaster University has identified the most effective and safest treatments for people suffering from chronic urticaria, more commonly known as chronic hives.
A researcher from the University of Kansas Life Span Institute is part of an international group that recently published a comprehensive review of differences in sensory processing for people with autism during the prenatal (in utero) and neonatal (birth to a few months old) phases of life. The report appears in the journal Psychological Review.
An estimated one in four Americans suffers from chronic pain. For one in 10 of those sufferers, their pain is so intense, it impacts their ability to work or take part in other life activities, leaving them feeling isolated, anxious or depressed. It is also a health issue so challenging to manage, many are prone to substance use disorders.
A diagnostic model based on delayed post-gadolinium enhancement magnetic resonance imaging (DEMRI) improves the accuracy of Meniere disease (MD) diagnosis, according to a study published online July 8 in Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology.
Before an important meeting or when a big decision needs to be made, we often mentally run through various scenarios before settling on the best course of action. But when it comes to our health—be it choosing a treatment for an ailment or even selecting a dietary regimen—it is a lot harder to predict how each choice will affect our bodies and whether it will suit us personally.
Compared with the conventional skin prick test (SPT), the novel Skin Prick Automated Test (SPAT) shows equivalent accuracy to detect birch pollen or house-dust mite allergy using a cutoff of 4.5 mm, according to a study published online July 9 in Allergy.
Atopic dermatitis (AD) was associated with an increased risk for chronic kidney disease (CKD) in an Asian population, according to a study published online July 10 in the Journal of Dermatology.
A Sydney-based study of 69 young people seeking mental health care found almost a quarter showed disrupted body clocks that showed signs that looked like jet lag, despite not having traveled across time zones. The University of Sydney researchers suggest the finding could lead to new ways to treat and study mental health conditions such as depression and bipolar disorder.
UBC Okanagan researchers have developed a 3D bio-printed model that closely mimics the complexity of natural lung tissue, an innovation that could transform how scientists study lung disease and develop new treatments.
About 90% of the ice cream sold in the U.S. will no longer contain artificial dyes by 2028, federal health officials announced.
Oral cancer is a growing public health concern, particularly in South Asia, where it affects tens of thousands each year. In India alone, oral cancer accounts for 40% of all cancers, largely driven by the widespread use of tobacco-based products like gutka. The situation is worsened by limited access to early screening and treatment, especially in rural and underserved areas. Most cases are diagnosed at advanced stages, when treatment is more difficult and survival rates are lower.
A University of Manitoba expert is a vital part of an international team of scientists studying the alarming changes in the spread of mpox across the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) to better understand the rapidly evolving virus.
It's common knowledge that obesity is a global epidemic, particularly in industrialized countries, and that it is a major cause of disease and poor overall health. However, there has been a tug-of-war in the debate of whether the main cause of obesity is diet or a lack of exercise.
Multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) are a major challenge in everyday medical practice, as they often cannot be treated with antibiotics. According to the Robert Koch Institute, there are 400,000 to 600,000 infections with hospital germs in Germany every year—around 10,000 to 20,000 people die from them. Alternative treatment options are therefore needed.
Emeli Chatterjee, Ph.D., of the Cardiovascular Research Center at Massachusetts General Hospital, is the lead author and Saumya Das, MD, Ph.D., of the Division of Cardiology at Massachusetts General Hospital, is the senior author of a paper published in Cell Genomics, titled "The extracellular vesicle transcriptome provides tissue-specific functional genomic annotation relevant to disease susceptibility in obesity."
Australians have long been some of the highest users of herbal and nutritional supplements that claim to boost mood or ease depression. These include omega-3s (found in fish oil), St John's wort, probiotics and vitamin D.
Immune checkpoints are regulatory proteins that prevent the immune system from attacking healthy tissues. Some cancer cells exploit these checkpoints to avoid immune detection. Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB)—a therapy that uses antibodies to block these deceptive signals—can unleash the immune system to destroy cancer.
Your feet do more than get you from place to place—they're key to your overall health.
