Temporal and noise-resilient techniques for refined cardiovascular diagnostic imaging

Early-onset neonatal sepsis and meningitis are associated with an increased risk for childhood epilepsy, according to a study published online July 7 in JAMA Network Open.

For many years, health experts have been concerned about "food deserts," places where residents lack good nutritional options. Now, an MIT-led study of three major global cities uses a new, granular method to examine the issue, and concludes that having fewer and less nutritional eating options nearby correlates with obesity and other health outcomes.

New UCLA research finds that small group professional coaching can reduce physician burnout rates by up to 30%, suggesting that it is more effective than the traditional, and more expensive, one-on-one coaching method.

U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. canceled a meeting of government health panel that helps guide what preventive care is covered by insurance, alarming doctors and other health officials.

Certain behavioral effects of not getting enough sleep may explain why people who have insomnia are at risk for problems with alcohol. A study of college students, published in Alcohol: Clinical and Experimental Research, found that sleep problems may increase negative mood and worsen impulse control, factors which, in turn, lead to more problems with alcohol. The findings may inform treatment for college students, a group particularly at risk for drinking and sleep problems.

Moderna's COVID-19 vaccine has received full approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in children with medical conditions that put them at higher risk of severe illness.

Global deaths from AIDS have dropped to their lowest levels in more than 30 years, in part due to efforts to fight HIV. But U.S. funding cuts could soon reverse that progress, experts warn.

A labeling mistake has led to a nationwide recall of four different types of Ritz Peanut Butter Cracker Sandwich cartons, federal health officials said.

Childhood maltreatment leaves deep and lasting marks that have far-reaching consequences, extending beyond immediate trauma and affecting survivors in ways that are often invisible and misunderstood.

The widely held view among rugby players, coaches and officials is that headgear can't prevent concussion. If so, why wear it? It's hot, it can block vision and hearing, and it can be uncomfortable.

Research led by Thilo Womelsdorf, professor of psychology and biomedical engineering at the Vanderbilt Brain Institute, could revolutionize how brain-computer interfaces are used to treat disorders of memory and cognition.

The shuttle run (a round-trip endurance run) test measures physical fitness by having subjects run back and forth for a certain distance. This test has been adopted as part of a new physical fitness test formulated by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, and it is conducted in many schools as part of physical fitness training.

A study led by scientists at King's has revealed how the physical orientation of the heart inside the chest dramatically influences the electrical signals captured in an electrocardiogram (ECG)—a discovery that could pave the way for more personalized and accurate heart diagnostics.

A study conducted at the Technion—Israel Institute of Technology Faculty of Biotechnology and Food Engineering has revealed significant differences between male and female digestive systems: the digestion of milk and milk alternatives is not identical between the sexes.

Shading brings 3D forms to life, beautifully carving out the shape of objects around us. Despite the importance of shading for perception, scientists have long been puzzled about how the brain actually uses it. Researchers from Justus-Liebig-University Giessen and Yale University recently came out with a surprising answer.
