A University of York study has found no link between a child's day of birth and their destiny, reassuring parents that the age-old verse is simply "harmless fun."
The kettle is a household staple practically everywhere—how else would we make our hot drinks?
The 50th anniversary of the blockbuster "Jaws" may leave some fearful of swimming in the open waters, but the reality is that shark bites are rare. Experts with the American College of Surgeons are available for media interviews to discuss the medical treatment of shark bites as well as other kinds of injuries beachgoers may encounter during summer.
Obesity rates in children have been on the rise for decades, having quadrupled from 1990 to 2022, and along with the rise in obesity, comes a rise in health risks. However, obesity can be broken down further into categories based on severity.
Duke Health has pioneered a world's-first technique that could expand the donor pool for pediatric heart transplants in the U.S. by up to 20%—offering new hope to families on the waitlist.
Swimming instruction in Norway takes place almost exclusively in calm and controlled indoor swimming pools. But most water-related accidents occur outdoors, meaning the skills children have learned may not be enough.
Microbial contaminants like airborne bacteria and fungi can make up more than a third of indoor air pollution. Yet, while many countries regulate chemical pollutants, most have no legally binding thresholds for microbial exposure, particularly fungi. This lack of toxicological benchmarks leaves a major gap in indoor air safety policy.
One of the world's biggest genetic databases comprises DNA data donated over the years by more than a million retired military service members. It's part of a project run by the Department of Veterans Affairs.
A Ludwig Cancer Research study has identified a complex chain of molecular chatter by which cancer cells, exploiting ordinary metabolic processes, program one set of noncancerous cells to manipulate another set of such cells to support their growth and survival.
More than 20 million pounds of plastic waste accumulates in the Great Lakes every year. While crusty water bottles, fraying cigarette butts and tangled knots of fishing line littering the shoreline may be the most visible evidence of that pollution, a bigger concern is the tiny plastic particles that we cannot easily see.
A new qualitative study led by researchers from the UC Irvine Joe C. Wen School of Population & Public Health offers critical insights into how Latino families in Orange County, Calif. understand cardiovascular disease and navigate heart-healthy decisions.
Researchers from the UC Irvine Joe C. Wen School of Population & Public Health found that more than 70% of transgender women living with disabilities experience high levels of mental health risk, including psychological stress and suicidal ideation.
According to Dr. Karolina Armonaitė, a neuroscientist from Kaunas University of Technology in Lithuania, a more precise understanding of what happens in different areas of the cerebral cortex during sleep can help diagnose sleep disorders and neurological diseases more accurately. "Complex processes are going on in the brain when we sleep," she says.
Amblyopia, commonly referred to as "lazy eye," is the leading cause of vision loss in one eye in children, affecting around 2% of the population. Treatment success varies based on sociodemographic factors, with previous studies showing that Black children and those with Medicaid insurance are at higher risk for unsuccessful treatment.
Researchers from the UC Irvine Joe C. Wen School of Population & Public Health found that a cancer diagnosis did not improve a survivors' diet or create healthier eating habits. The study shows informational deficits during cancer diagnosis treatment planning and a lack of guidance from health care providers. These findings are published in Public Health Nutrition.
The artificial intelligence revolution hasn't passed older adults by, a new poll suggests. But the data show that people over 50 have both curiosity and skepticism about AI, depending on how much they've used it, the data show.
New Griffith University research investigated how the Nuralyte device, similar in size to an electric toothbrush, enhanced mitochondrial respiration and stimulated gene expression in bone-forming stem cells. The cutting-edge dental technology may accelerate healing after procedures by promoting cellular health through light therapy.
Patients with heart failure and atrial fibrillation (AF) at the time of mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (M-TEER) for severe mitral regurgitation are more than twice as likely to die or be rehospitalized for heart failure, compared to patients without AF.
Controlling the activity of specific genes in the laboratory through the editing of their epigenetic marks is now a reality thanks to the CRISPR technology. A team from the Josep Carreras Leukemia Research Institute has demonstrated that it is possible to precisely control the methylation status of one of the key genes involved in controlling the inflammatory response (IL1RN), thereby modifying how the cell responds to external stimuli. With this finding, the development of innovative therapies based on epigenome editing to tackle inflammatory diseases, including myeloid leukemia, is one step closer.
