Retinal implant restores central vision in patients with advanced AMD, study shows

Rutgers New Jersey Medical School-led researchers have identified a striking rise in pickleball-related eye injuries among players visiting emergency departments across the United States. Using two decades of national surveillance data, the team found an accelerating pattern of trauma tied to the sport's rapid expansion.

Mental health distress is rising among America's LGBTQ+ teenagers and young adults as they've increasingly become targets of discrimination and cruelty, a new report says.

By the time patients start seeking care for multiple sclerosis (MS), the disease has already been damaging their brains for years. But until recently, scientists didn't understand which brain cells were being targeted or when the injury began.

University of North Carolina at Charlotte's School of Nursing, collaborating with Harvard's Human Flourishing Program, reports that adolescents who report transformative religious or spiritual experiences show both greater volunteering and voting in early adulthood alongside elevated loneliness and PTSD.

Every year, thousands of families sit in hospital rooms hearing words no one wants to hear: "We have done everything we can." What happens next, whether doctors stay engaged or step away, can transform one of life's most difficult moments for patients and their families.

Well after the United States government declared the pandemic emergency over, COVID-19 continued to cause about the same number of monthly work absences year-round as occurred during peak influenza months, a team that includes Yale School of Public Health (YSPH) researchers has found.

Body mass index (BMI) alone may not be enough to measure someone's risk of cardiometabolic disease, according to researchers at UTHealth Houston.

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare condition that's difficult to treat. The hallmarks of the disease—narrowing of the arterioles and capillaries that deliver blood to the lungs—force the heart to work harder. In severe cases, PAH can lead to heart failure.

After being treated with an electronic eye implant paired with augmented-reality glasses, people with sight loss have recovered reading vision, reports a trial involving a UCL (University College London) and Moorfields Eye Hospital clinical researcher.

Grid cells are a class of specialized neurons in a brain region called the entorhinal cortex, which is known to support spatial navigation and some memory processes. Past neuroscience studies have found that as humans and other animals move in their surroundings, these cells fire following a grid-like pattern, creating a sort of internal map of the environment.

Around nine in 10 U.S. adults have not heard of cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome, a newly defined health condition affecting nearly 90% of adults that includes heart disease, kidney disease, diabetes and obesity, according to a new survey from the American Heart Association, a relentless force changing the future of health for everyone everywhere. However, many are interested in learning more about it.

Patients with an aggressive form of breast cancer who are not candidates for immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy showed significantly improved progression-free survival when treated with the antibody drug conjugate sacituzumab govitecan compared to standard chemotherapy.

A multicenter Phase II clinical trial led by researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center demonstrated significant tumor shrinkage and disease control in patients with advanced pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma (PPGL), two rare and potentially life-threatening neuroendocrine tumors.

Results from a trial led by researchers from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center showed that a targeted therapy combination improved outcomes for patients with metastatic clear-cell renal carcinoma (ccRCC)—a type of kidney cancer—whose disease progressed following immunotherapy.

Overcrowding in hospital emergency departments (EDs) is bad for patients and expensive for the public purse.

Every year, more than 12,000 Australians undergo open heart surgery—an hours-long medical procedure during which surgeons go inside the chest cavity and repair faulty heart valves or bypass blocked cardiac arteries.

As the U.S. confronts a historic health care workforce crisis, a new white paper released today calls on federal and state policymakers to modernize outdated laws, regulations, and payment systems in order to harness the full potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in care delivery.

How do mammals manage to eat in situations that cause anxiety, step into exposed spaces, or slow down when anxiety drives them to keep moving? A new study pinpoints a leptin-sensitive circuit in the lateral hypothalamus that helps to overcome anxiety to perform essential behaviors such as exploring, feeding, and limiting maladaptive hyperactivity.
