The price increases that could cause Americans more alarm

QUT researchers have created a powerful new tool that could predict when an athlete is at risk of suffering another injury when returning to play from a previous injury.

Researchers have developed a new light technology that appears to improve cognitive function in Alzheimer's patients in clinical trials. The hope is that the idea can be developed into ordinary lamps that people can install to prevent the disease.

New research from the University of South Australia shows that ibuprofen and acetaminophen are quietly fueling one of the world's biggest health threats: antibiotic resistance.

Researchers at National Taiwan University developed a biodegradable, electroconductive self-healing hydrogel combined with acupuncture that restores motor function and protects brain neurons in Parkinson's disease models.

Eczema and psoriasis are common skin conditions, and they can both appear as rashes that may itch or burn. If you get rashes often, you might wonder if you have one or the other. In fact, you could have both eczema and psoriasis at the same time, but it's rare.

A new study highlights a transformative resource for public health: the unprecedented wave of COVID-19 oral history archives collected since the start of the pandemic.

While there is a vast amount of information about the human brain and how it develops and works, much of the organ is still uncharted territory. But new research published in the journal Nature is giving us new insights into a type of brain cell called the GABAergic interneuron and its role in the developing brain. These findings could help explain how conditions like autism and brain disorders in children develop.

Colon cancer screening myths and facts.

Many of us have experienced it at some point in our working lives: burnout. You're exhausted, feel like your job is losing its meaning, and have little control over when and how you do your work.

The U.S. Justice Department has demanded numerous health care providers hand over sensitive records on care provided for young transgender patients, a court filing revealed last week.

Catastrophes, by definition, are devastating, but they can often be catalysts for lasting, positive change—and if people can adopt that perspective, they may see some real benefits, a Stanford-led study suggests.

A new blood test pioneered by diagnostics company AOA Dx (AOA) can detect ovarian cancer in symptomatic women with high accuracy, a study by researchers from the Universities of Manchester and Colorado has found.

To move around in their surroundings in meaningful and goal-directed ways, a skill known as navigation, humans and animals rely on a series of complex cognitive (i.e., mental) processes. Navigation is also supported by the so-called head direction system, a neural network that keeps track of the direction in which an animal is facing, acting as an "internal compass."

Developmental scientists and medical social science experts at Northwestern University have spearheaded the creation of the most recent NIH Toolbox, providing the newest nationally standardized assessment of cognitive, language, motor and social-emotional skill development in infants aged 16 days to 42 months.

If you spend any time gardening, you probably understand what I mean when I say it feels good—despite the lifting, sweating and straining involved. Yes, exercise is good for our bodies, but there's something about digging in the dirt while listening to a bird soundtrack that lifts my spirits. Even the scent of the soil and mulch makes me happy.

Major depressive disorder (MDD) is one of the most common psychiatric illnesses worldwide, but its molecular causes have still not been clearly identified. A research team has discovered that depression may not simply be caused by neuronal damage, but can also arise from the dysregulation of specific neural signaling pathways. In particular, they identified the molecular reason why elderly patients with depression do not respond to conventional antidepressants.

A new study led by researchers at National Jewish Health has found that recent infection with the common cold—often caused by rhinoviruses—may offer temporary protection against infection with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. The research provides fresh insight into why children are less likely than adults to develop symptoms and could point toward new ways to reduce the severity of respiratory illnesses.

Sustained hypoxia affects orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) by altering osteoclast and osteoblast differentiation, report researchers from the Institute of Science Tokyo, Japan. Hypoxic conditions resulted in reduced alveolar bone levels after OTM and lower expression of runt-related transcription factor 2 and vascular endothelial growth factor. These findings, observed in a rat model, provide critical insights into the bone remodeling process in OTM under hypoxia.
