Study compares physical activity behavior in Berlin and Singapore

Breastfeeding is often linked with better health for both mothers and babies, but it does not protect all women against breast cancer. The reason remains unknown. Since breast cancer in young women is on the rise, understanding why breastfeeding is protective in some women but not others is critical.

Researchers at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) have developed a groundbreaking AI technology that reconstructs precise 3D bones and organs models from minimal X-ray images, slashing patients' radiation exposure by up to 99% compared to CT scans.

A new study led by Indiana University School of Medicine researchers revealed a potential strategy to address neurobehavioral challenges associated with neurofibromatosis type 1, or NF1, a genetic disease that primarily affects the skin and nervous system. The findings, recently published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation, may also have implications for treating hundreds of other rare genetic diseases.

Mental health conditions are common among autistic adults, with 50% of autistic adults having a co-occurring condition, like attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anxiety or depression.

A new opioid overdose study has identified several key risk factors associated with non-fatal overdoses, as well as a significantly higher overdose rate, drawing from a sample of people who use opioids in New Haven.

Despite an overall decline in prescribed opioid use in Canada over the past decade, a recent study found that people in poorer areas receive three times the prescriptions for opioids than those in wealthier areas.

From poached to panfried, when it comes to eggs, it's all sunny side up, as new research from the University of South Australia confirms that this breakfast favorite won't crack your cholesterol.

Understanding how our brain interprets social hierarchy or facial emotions may be key to advancing our knowledge of anxiety and mood disorders. This is the aim of the project led by researcher Maya Visser at the Universitat Jaume I in Castelló, which studies the role of the anterior temporal lobe (ATL) in the brain network that gives meaning to social and emotional concepts.

When people worry that they're getting sick, they are increasingly turning to generative artificial intelligence like ChatGPT for a diagnosis. But how accurate are the answers that AI gives out?

In a study conducted in Uganda and published in JAMA Surgery, researchers from Karolinska Institutet evaluated a new surgical method for treating groin hernias in women. The method could become an alternative in resource-limited settings where laparoscopic techniques are not generally available.

Sensome, the pioneer of microsensing technology for real-time, in situ tissue analysis, today announced the publication of a study in Science Advances unveiling an innovative methodology using its technology to noninvasively monitor cell spatiotemporal dynamics involved in cancer progression in a real-time and label-free manner, which can provide new insights for cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Researchers at the German Center for Cardiovascular Research (DZHK) have identified a key molecule involved in a form of heart failure that has so far been difficult to treat.

Have you ever gone to the optometrist for an eye test and were told your eye was shaped like a football?

Most nutrition scientists agree that occasionally eating ultra-processed food, also called highly processed food, is no big deal. But, statistics show, that occasional part is no easy trick.

A new clinical trial demonstrates that dietary changes significantly reduce persistent post-traumatic headaches (pPTH), a common and debilitating consequence of traumatic brain injury (TBI). Researchers from the UNC School of Medicine, the Uniformed Services University, and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) found that increasing omega-3 fatty acids (commonly found in fatty fish like salmon and tuna) while reducing omega-6 fatty acids (abundant in seed oils such as corn, sunflower, and cottonseed oils) led to fewer and less severe headaches.

An AI algorithm could help to predict which patients might develop significant heart problems years in advance, just based on EKG readings.

U.S. Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has removed two senior officials who were appointed by President Donald Trump.

Almost 1 in 2 people using a hospital toilet did not wash their hands afterwards, according to new research from the University of Surrey—raising serious concerns about hygiene compliance in high-risk environments.
