Rural hospitals will be hit hard by Trump's signature spending package

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people on dialysis are far less likely to be waitlisted for a transplant, according to Australian research. To receive a kidney transplant from a deceased donor, patients must undergo a series of tests and medical assessments before they can be placed on the active waitlist.

T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is a highly aggressive form of blood cancer that can occur in both children and adults. It is characterized by failures in the maturation of T-lymphocytes, key immune cells involved in the defense against infections and cancer, which, instead of performing their function, proliferate uncontrollably in the bone marrow. While the cure rate in children exceeds 80%, in adults it remains at around 40% and is associated with a high probability of relapse following chemotherapy.

A team of researchers from TU Dresden and FU Berlin conducted a meta-analysis to investigate the connection between childhood maltreatment and the internal "sense" that allows us to perceive and understand the signals generated by our own bodies, known as interoception. The results have now been published in the journal Nature Mental Health.

Salmonella cases in England are the highest they've been in a decade, according to recent UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) data. There was a 17% increase in cases observed from 2023 to 2024—culminating in 10,388 detected infections last year. Children and older adults accounted for around a fifth of cases.

The UK government has finally unveiled its much-anticipated ten-year Plan for improving England's health. It contains a long-overdue focus on prevention, after years of sidestepping by previous administrations.

A team of Mayo Clinic researchers has developed an artificial intelligence (AI) system that can detect surgical site infections (SSIs) with high accuracy from patient-submitted postoperative wound photos, potentially transforming how postoperative care is delivered.

There's long been evidence that what we eat can affect our risk of dementia, Alzheimer's disease and cognitive decline as we age. But can any one diet actually keep the brain strong and lower dementia risk? Evidence suggests the so-called "Mind diet" might.

For years, scientists have believed that inflammation inevitably increases with age, quietly fueling diseases like heart disease, dementia and diabetes. But a new study of Indigenous populations challenges that idea and could reshape how we think about aging itself.

Adding bile acids as farnesoid X receptor agonists to the culture medium supported the growth and development of unique stem cell-derived hepatic organoids, report researchers from Japan. These three-dimensional liver organoids were capable of sustained, long-term proliferation while retaining hepatocyte-like features. Their findings could have the potential to drive future research on chronic liver disease and result in newer therapeutic approaches to treat it.

Bedtime can be tricky for parents, especially when their child is experiencing behavioral sleep problems, but help is on the way with an app in development designed to help parents manage their child's sleep problems.

University of Wisconsin–Madison–led researchers report lower yet statistically non-significant recurrence of Clostridioides difficile (C. diff) among adults given low-dose oral vancomycin during antibiotic therapy.

The brain doesn't merely register time—it structures it, according to new research from the Kavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience published in Science.

A new study led by the University of Hertfordshire for the East of England's first specialist children's hospital has found that shared mealtimes in hospital settings can significantly improve the health and well-being of children and young people.

A pairing of two experimental drugs inhibits tumor growth and blocks drug-induced resistance in ovarian cancer, according to a preclinical study led by Weill Cornell Medicine investigators.

When Cheryl Martinez enrolled in an addiction recovery program last May, one of her first orders of business was calling Ms. Darlene.

Britain's patients have revealed what they really want from their GPs—and it's far more than just a quick appointment.

A new preclinical study from Monash University has uncovered the role of the female sex hormone estrogen in protecting the hearts of women with high blood pressure—a link that, until now, has not been fully understood by scientists.

A first-of-its-kind online body image and well-being program designed to help people with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) feel more positive about their bodies has been developed by Flinders University.
