Studies address muscle loss caused by GLP-1 drugs

A study analyzes pediatric ice hockey injuries in emergency departments throughout the United States, finding a post-pandemic rise in head and shoulder injuries as well as hospitalizations.

A newly developed cardiac PET imaging technique offers a simpler way to detect significant coronary artery disease—eliminating the need for complex scanning protocols. This innovative approach, which maintains high diagnostic accuracy, has the potential to make advanced heart imaging more accessible and feasible, particularly during exercise stress testing.

Overall, 46% of adults age 65 and older have taken steps to "age in place," according to a new poll. This includes 31% who have made modifications to make their home more age-friendly and 26% who have already moved to a place that can meet their needs as they age. Some older adults have done both.

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder that affects numerous systems of the body. It is a complicated disease that differs from person to person.

CPR can be lifesaving when a baby stops breathing—but only if it's done properly.

Bowel cancer is no longer just a disease of the elderly. In Australia and around the world, there's been a concerning rise in bowel cancer cases among people under 50, and no one yet knows exactly why.

The military prides itself on loyalty and respect but those values must extend to how they treat those who leave service, new research from Flinders University reveals.

Newborn babies and patients with Alzheimer's disease share an unexpected biological trait: elevated levels of a well-known biomarker for Alzheimer's, as shown in a study led by researchers at the University of Gothenburg and published in Brain Communications.

A blood test might predict when multiple sclerosis patients are about to suffer a relapse in their symptoms, a new study says.

Monoclonal antibodies provide protection against a wide range of infectious microbes, and now, in a series of elegant laboratory experiments, scientists have uncovered how a pair of these lab-engineered molecules fight malaria.

Researchers at the Case Western Reserve School of Medicine have found that semaglutide, a popular diabetes and weight-loss drug, may lower the risk of dementia in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D).

When humans repeat specific patterns of behavior on a regular basis, these behaviors can become habits. Some habits, such as exercising in the morning, hygienic rituals, eating healthy or meditation practices, can be beneficial. Others, such as smoking, eating while watching TV or various forms of procrastination, can have detrimental consequences.

A new study from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis identifies a possible way to slow or block progression of age-related macular degeneration, a leading cause of blindness in people over age 50. The study appears in the journal Nature Communications.

Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have developed a medical robotic system to relieve a life-threatening tension pneumothorax in the chest cavity. The researchers are presenting the robotic solution at the automatica robotics trade fair. In the future, it will be capable of telemedical operations during evacuation flights. It was developed as part of the iMEDCAP project.

Women who experience complications during pregnancy face a higher risk of stroke in the following decades, according to research published in the European Heart Journal.

Skin grafts genetically engineered from a patient's own cells can heal persistent wounds in people with an extremely painful dermatologic disease, a Stanford Medicine-led clinical trial has shown. The grafts treat severe dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa, or EB, a genetic condition in which the skin is so fragile the slightest touch can cause blistering and wounds, eventually leading to large, open lesions that never heal and are immensely painful.

Endoscopies could be replaced by far less invasive capsule sponge tests for half of all patients with Barrett's esophagus, a known precursor to esophageal cancer, according to a new study by researchers at the University of Cambridge, Addenbrooke's Hospital and Queen Mary University of London. The research was published in The Lancet.

Aimlessly wandering around a city or exploring the new mall may seem unproductive, but new research from HHMI's Janelia Research Campus suggests it could play an important role in how our brains learn.
