Side effects from taking too much vitamin B6—including nerve damage—may be more widespread than we think, Australia's medicines regulator says.

There is much to commend about Australia's lung cancer screening program, which started on July 1.

Clavicular fractures are common injuries among children, usually due to sports-related trauma or accidental falls. The purpose of this study was to assess the epidemiology of clavicular fractures among children in the United States between 2014 and 2023.

For decades, Americans have been urged to limit alcohol consumption to one or two drinks a day—and even that amount, some said, is linked to higher health risks such as cancer, dementia, and liver disease.

Food labeling is out of step with healthy diet recommendations and could be improved by including nutrient release rates, according to University of Queensland Emeritus Professor Mike Gidley.

Hearing about child abuse in trusted places such as childcare centers is every parent's worst nightmare.

From the time we are conceived and through old age, genetic mutations accumulate in all our tissues, eluding the body's typically efficient DNA repair machinery and potentially affecting our health and well-being.

New research from UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center has uncovered an evolutionary change that may explain why certain immune cells in humans are less effective at fighting solid tumors compared to non-human primates. This insight could lead to more powerful cancer treatments.

Incoming information from the retina is channeled into two pathways in the brain's visual system: one that's responsible for processing color and fine spatial detail, and another that's involved in spatial localization and detecting high temporal frequencies. A new study from MIT provides an account for how these two pathways may be shaped by developmental factors.

A lack of oral health literacy among caregivers and access to dental services is driving tooth decay in young children research from Edith Cowan University (ECU) has confirmed, with early childhood tooth decay affecting nearly half of Australian preschool-aged children. The findings are published in the journal Child: Care, Health and Development.

A research paper that shares early results from an IAEA funded project evaluates the state of medical physics in diagnostic radiology and image-guided procedures in the Asia-Pacific region has been published in Physical and Engineering Sciences in Medicine.

A pioneering new study published in Nature Microbiology, led by J. Oriol Sunyer, professor of immunology and pathobiology at the School of Veterinary Medicine, and a team of researchers at Penn Vet and the University of New Mexico, has uncovered a surprising new player in gut health: an antibody called secretory immunoglobulin M (sIgM).

A new radiotracer developed at the University of Alberta and soon to be tested in human clinical trials in Europe could make medical imaging of breast cancer tumors quicker and more accurate, and could one day lead to better treatments.

Two new studies have provided further insights into the complex links between head injury in elite rugby and potential dementia risks.

As brain tumors grow, they must do one of two things: push against the brain or use finger-like extensions to invade and destroy surrounding tissue.

A team of researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Human Development (MPIB) and the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE) has demonstrated in a recent pilot study that virtual forest bathing can improve emotional well-being—especially if the virtual natural environment appeals to multiple senses, such as hearing, sight and smell, at once.

A paralyzed military veteran is one of seven people in the country to be implanted with an Elon Musk-backed brain chip as part of a clinical trial underway in South Florida.
