Three bathroom items you shouldn't really share, according to an expert

Dr. Ahmed Lawan, an assistant professor in the College of Science at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), a part of The University of Alabama System, has published a paper in the journal Cells that demonstrates there is a potential gender component in the development of diabetes as it relates to the function of a particular enzyme.

Shame can lead people to avoid getting treatment for dental issues, potentially worsening oral health inequalities, a new study warns.

In the United States, significant numbers of adults with dementia require long-term care services. For example, around 750,000 people who live in nursing homes have a diagnosis of dementia. However, transportation insecurity for this population has not received sufficient attention. Although long-term care facilities provide basic medical services, residents with dementia often need external, preventative, and follow-up care such as specialist visits, diagnostics, and dental or vision services. Without reliable nonemergency medical transportation, these needs may go unmet.

Whether and when to use the label "dyslexia" has been a perennial debate in education.

University of Arizona researchers may have uncovered a connection between chronic pain and a somewhat uncommon immune condition, opening the door to future research on immune biomarkers for chronic pain.

A study led by researchers at Queen Mary University of London has found that hormone replacement therapy (HRT) may help reverse changes in the immune system caused by menopause, potentially boosting immune health. The research reveals new evidence that menopause significantly alters women's immune system, increasing their vulnerability to infections.

Researchers at King's have found that certain breast lesions identified during routine screening may not always require removal. The findings could help reduce unnecessary procedures while maintaining high standards of patient safety.

The health risks from toxic exposures at Ground Zero of the 9/11 World Trade Center attacks are well documented, and diseases caused by those exposures continue to plague WTC responders as we approach 25 years since 9/11. A new study, led by researchers affiliated with the Stony Brook WTC Health and Wellness Program, centers on responder disease incidence for one of the deadliest cancers—lung cancer.

It might sound like a contradiction, but if you're feeling lonely, you're not alone.

Researchers at the Indiana University School of Medicine have discovered a new way to regulate blood glucose levels using a lab-designed protein, possibly opening the door to a new treatment avenue for people with type 1 diabetes.

There may be a way to protect brain energy to preserve cognition—and the secret could lie on your plate. Think fish and seafood, meat, non-starchy vegetables, berries, nuts, seeds, eggs and even high-fat dairy products.

The 2025 darts World Grand Prix is currently well underway. One of the favorites to win the title is Luke "The Nuke" Littler, who in January became the youngest World Champion in history at just 17 years old.

A novel disease prevention strategy—targeting a mosquito that spreads the dengue virus—significantly reduces both the mosquito numbers and cases of disease across a community, finds a major new study.

A research team in Japan has developed an innovative system that can accurately detect genetic mutations in brain tumors within just 25 minutes. Genetic mutations are crucial markers for diagnosis of brain tumors.

Human immunodeficiency viruses (HIV) are insidious. They can evade the immune defense and antiviral drugs by becoming "latent." In this state, they are largely invisible and unassailable. As long as these dormant viruses persist, there is no cure for HIV/AIDS. However, researchers at Ulm University Hospital have discovered a new way to reactivate latent HI viruses. This is made possible by the body's own protein RBP4, a transporter for vitamin A—and provides a new starting point for HIV cure approaches.

A Minnesota-based company is recalling two types of organic frozen spinach sold nationwide because they may be contaminated with Listeria, a bacteria that can cause serious or even life-threatening illness.

Adding genomic sequencing to newborn blood screening would detect hundreds of additional childhood conditions, providing much earlier diagnosis and treatment, according to a new study. A baby's genome, which stays with them for life, could also be re-examined if a health issue arises during their lifetime.

More than 200 health centers in eastern Congo are running out of essential medicine due to ongoing fighting and a lack of humanitarian aid, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) warned.
