Tiny treatment system helps fight back against neuroinflammation in the brain

A new study led by the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai offers one of the most comprehensive views yet of how brain cells interact in Alzheimer's disease, mapping protein networks that reveal communication failures and point to new therapeutic opportunities.

A new study in mice reports that concussions sustained early in life can cause subtle brain changes that re-emerge later in life. The findings, published in Experimental Neurology, may have significant implications for understanding the long-term impact of head injuries in children.

A new study from University Hospitals Connor Whole Health found that music therapy interventions involving singing, active instrument play, and relaxation/imagery may be more effective for reducing pain intensity than receptive interventions only involving live or recorded music listening among hospitalized patients with moderate-to-severe pain. The findings from this study were recently published in The Journal of Pain.

Researchers at the University of Waterloo have developed a better way to enhance the clarity and detail of eye images used to diagnose disease by teaching artificial intelligence (AI) software the science behind the imaging process.

Chest pain ranks as the second most common reason for emergency department (ED) visits, making it a key concern for patients and doctors. However, 80% of these cases are considered low-risk and not related to heart disease, and for these patients, anxiety and panic disorders are frequent diagnoses.

Building on her previous research into maternal and infant health during pregnancy and after birth, epidemiology associate professor Nansi Boghossian has published new findings in JAMA.

The Northeast Valley Health Corp. in Los Angeles County could be a poster child for the benefits of sharing health data electronically.

A large-scale study by the University of Bath of more than 17,000 primary school pupils and 2,300 teachers across England has revealed dramatic differences in levels of physical activity in children during the school day, despite all schools following the same national curriculum.

"There's no downside to avoiding Tylenol or acetaminophen use while pregnant," President Donald Trump on Sept. 22, 2025, in a press conference.

Health care workers in emergency departments (EDs) face frequent violence from agitated patients, according to a study published in Academic Emergency Medicine (AEM).

This week, the Trump administration announced that it was taking "bold action" to address the "epidemic" of autism spectrum disorder—starting with a new safety label on Tylenol and other acetaminophen products that suggests a link to autism. The scientific evidence for doing so is weak, researchers said.

Annotating regions of interest in medical images, a process known as segmentation, is often one of the first steps clinical researchers take when running a new study involving biomedical images.

A palliative care educational app improves health-related quality of life (HRQoL) at two months among adult patients with incurable cancer, according to a study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine.

In a new study published in Nature Communications, researchers from the Linda Crnic Institute for Down Syndrome (Crnic Institute) at the University of Colorado Anschutz discovered important differences in the physiological changes observed in over 300 individuals with Down syndrome across the lifespan.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved a subcutaneous (SC) induction regimen of Tremfya (guselkumab) for the treatment of adults with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis.

A new study by researchers at the Mount Sinai Health System suggests that a simple tweak to how artificial intelligence (AI) assigns diagnostic codes could significantly improve accuracy, even outperforming physicians. The findings, reported in NEJM AI, could help reduce the time doctors spend on paperwork, cut billing errors, and improve the quality of patient records.

A new study led by researchers at the American Cancer Society (ACS) shows that the overall five-year cancer survival rates for each stage of cancer (localized, regional, distant) were lower in non-metropolitan areas for Black and white individuals in the United States. The results also find that survival rates are lower for Black persons compared to white persons across various cancer types and in several stages and categories of urbanicity, especially for breast and colorectal cancers.

Schizophrenia is a chronic mental health disorder characterized by hallucinations, delusions, disorganized thinking and atypical movement or speech patterns. This psychiatric condition can be highly debilitating, and diagnosed individuals can report markedly different experiences.
