The best way to minimize the risk of pediatric vehicular heatstroke involves multiple methods

More than 100,000 Rich's Ice Cream Co. bars have been recalled due to possible listeria contamination.

An international, multi-site clinical study led by an Indiana University School of Medicine researcher and anesthesiologist has found that using advanced technology to monitor tissue oxygen levels in the body during heart surgery does not lower the risk of serious complications afterward. The study is published in the BMJ.

Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) is feasible in older patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), according to a study published online June 26 in the European Journal of Haematology.

Researchers led by UC Davis Health scientist Sanchita Bhatnagar have developed a promising gene therapy that could treat Rett syndrome. The therapy works on reactivating healthy but silent genes responsible for this rare disorder and possibly other X-linked conditions, such as fragile X syndrome.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has appointed George Francis Tidmarsh, M.D., Ph.D., as director of the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER).

From 2010 to 2023, physician exit rates from traditional Medicare increased, according to a study published online July 18 in JAMA Health Forum.

Hepatitis B virus, a killer of more than one million people each year, is a notoriously wily virus, often lingering and resurfacing even after treatment. But, thanks to a new class of drugs, its luck may be running out.

A study from Florida State University uncovers biological and behavioral consequences of weight loss underlying binge-eating in women with bulimia nervosa and related syndromes. The work is published in the journal Psychological Medicine.

Despite evidence of the risk of malformations at birth, or birth defects, use of some antiseizure drugs during pregnancy has persisted, according to a study published in Neurology.

New research reveals that tiny amounts of PFAS—widely known as "forever chemicals"—cross the placenta and breast milk to alter infants' developing immune systems, potentially leaving lasting imprints on their ability to fight disease.

No one can live without a heart pumping blood to the rest of the body. New research from the University of Missouri School of Medicine reveals more information about this vital function and how it's related to certain heart diseases and conditions.

Adolescents who use either e-cigarettes or conventional tobacco products (CTP)—like cigarettes, cigars, hookah and pipes—are significantly more likely to report symptoms of depression and anxiety than teens who don't use tobacco products at all, according to a study published in PLOS Mental Health by Noor Abdulhay of West Virginia University, U.S., and colleagues.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a fraction of blood plasma; its concentration of platelets is of great value in regenerative medicine as they are essential in accelerating healing and repairing tissue. Until now, obtaining them has been based on centrifugation techniques, which—in addition to being expensive—could activate the platelets prematurely and reduce their effectiveness.

The fatality rate for H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza in humans has historically been high, with more than half of people dying. Why, then, is the current H5N1 bird flu outbreak—which has caused massive die-offs in wild birds, farmed poultry and even wild mammals—causing mostly mild symptoms in the people it has infected?

Why do so many people relapse after quitting cocaine? A new study from The Hebrew University reveals that a specific "anti-reward" brain circuit becomes hyperactive during withdrawal—driving discomfort and pushing users back toward the drug. Surprisingly, this circuit may also serve as a built-in protective mechanism, offering new hope for addiction treatment.

Optical coherence tomography (OCT), a tool routinely used to diagnose and plan treatment for eye diseases, has now been modified to collect images of the inner ear.

A new Penn Nursing initiative explores the impact of federally funded international bioethics training programs. The collaborative initiative, published in the Journal of Empirical Research on Human Research Ethics, highlights both the significant achievements and ongoing challenges in building bioethics research capacity in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).

Women from ethnic minority backgrounds or areas of high social deprivation are at higher risk of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH), according to a new study led by Keele University.
