Study shows racial bias in AI-generated treatment regimens for psychiatric patients

Gaiser's European Style Provisions Inc. is recalling almost 150,000 pounds of ready-to-eat bologna due to mislabeling.

Inflammation, long considered a hallmark of aging, may not be a universal human experience, according to a new study from Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health. The research suggests that "inflammaging"—chronic, low-grade inflammation associated with aging—appears to be a byproduct of industrialized lifestyles and varies significantly across global populations.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a debilitating neurodegenerative condition that affects a significant proportion of older people worldwide. Synapses are points of communication between neural cells that are malleable to change based on our experiences. By adding, removing, strengthening, or weakening synaptic contacts, our brain encodes new events or forgets previous ones.

Researchers at the Gray Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences at Tel Aviv University have developed a model that accurately replicates an extremely rare and sometimes fatal genetic disorder caused by a mutation in the GRIN2D gene. This mouse model allows the research team to study the disease's characteristics and test a variety of drugs and genetic therapies, offering hope to affected children and their families.

TikTok is one of the fastest-growing and most popular social media platforms in the world—especially among college-age individuals. In the United States alone, there are over 136 million TikTok users aged 18 and older, with approximately 45 million falling within the college-age demographic. And college students aren't just using the platform to watch viral videos. They're also turning to it as a source of information, with around 40% of Americans using TikTok as a search engine.

A simple blood test taken in the first trimester of pregnancy could accurately identify women at risk of developing preeclampsia five months before clinical diagnosis, according to new research presented at the 41st Annual Meeting of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE).

For the first time, the gut microbiota has been shown to play a pivotal role in the risk of disordered eating behavior stemming from yo-yo dieting. Researchers conducted a preclinical study showing that repeated dieting leads to binge-eating behavior, which can be passed on directly by the microbiota. The results are published in Advanced Science.

For the first time, the extreme variability in dengue fever has been linked to a biological mechanism, potentially opening doors to new treatments and vaccines for the most common mosquito-borne disease worldwide.

Three major Mount Sinai research studies offer new hope for patients facing chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), a rare type of blood cancer. The studies were led by Adam Kittai, MD, Associate Professor of Medicine (Hematology and Medical Oncology) at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and the Director of Mount Sinai's CLL Program. As one of the world's leading experts on Richter transformation, Dr. Kittai aims to increase awareness about Mount Sinai's CLL program and welcome patients in need of a second opinion.

You are likely accustomed to encountering a range of menus in daily life, but there is one that may be new to you: a dopamine menu. Dr. Robert Wilfahrt, a family medicine physician at Mayo Clinic and an expert in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD, explains.

A Caltech-led team has developed a safe, effective, and painless breast imaging technique that incorporates machine learning to help differentiate between suspicious and healthy tissue. The method has now been tested on patients and performs as well as or better than other conventional breast imaging techniques.

Although many of us spend allergy season cursing out plant pollen, spores from mold and other fungi also deserve some of that same disdain. These invisibly small agitators tend to fly under the radar, despite being capable of causing the same sneezes, sniffles and, in some cases, severe respiratory issues.

Dementia poses a major health challenge with no safe, affordable treatments to slow its progression. Researchers at Lawson Research Institute (Lawson), the research arm of St. Joseph's Health Care London, are investigating whether Ambroxol—a cough medicine used safely for decades in Europe—can slow dementia in people with Parkinson's disease.

How does the brain store knowledge so that you actually remember what you have learned the next day or even later? To find out, researchers at the University of Oslo disconnected one type of nerve cell in the brain of mice while the animals rested after having learned something new. This gave new answers to what actually happens when you remember earlier experiences for later use. The study is published in the journal Science Advances.

Diagnosing post-traumatic stress disorder in children can be notoriously difficult. Many, especially those with limited communication skills or emotional awareness, struggle to explain what they're feeling. Researchers at the University of South Florida are working to address those gaps and improve patient outcomes by merging their expertise in childhood trauma and artificial intelligence.

Sports scientists at Nottingham Trent University wanted to understand the potential impact on cognitive function of combining exercise with being outside.

"Mister. Would you like to play a game with me?" These seemingly innocuous words to debt-ridden Gi-hun (Lee Jung-Jae) by a mysterious recruiter (Gong-Yoo) lead him to an opportunity for financial salvation—at the expense of human lives, including possibly his own.

A new international study presented today at the 41st Annual Meeting of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE) reveals that IVF cycles involving male partners over the age of 45 carry significantly increased miscarriage risks and lower live birth rates—even when young donor eggs are used.
