The US government has announced controversial guidance on the prevention and treatment of autism in children.

United States President Donald Trump has urged pregnant women to avoid paracetamol except in cases of extremely high fever, because of a possible link to autism.

The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recently linked 25 unverified reports of child deaths to COVID-19 vaccines as they consider further limiting access to this and other immunizations, like those for hepatitis B and MMRV. But they aren't just playing politics. They are gambling with a quiet system that keeps Americans alive.

Minnesota's top doctor issued a standing order on Sept. 22 allowing pharmacists to give COVID-19 vaccines without prescriptions to a broader group of patients than federally recommended.

For decades, it was thought that while the brain orchestrated male sexual behavior—arousal, courtship, and copulation—the spinal cord merely executed the final act: ejaculation. But a study from the Champalimaud Foundation (CF) challenges that tidy division. It reveals that a key spinal circuit is not only involved in ejaculation but also in arousal and shaping the choreography of sex, adding a surprising new dimension to our understanding of sexual behavior in mammals.

Less than a quarter of people experiencing unsheltered homelessness (PEUH) in Los Angeles report access to a toilet, and about one-third eat less than one meal per day. Access to showers, safe drinking water and medical care is also limited, according to a study just published in the Journal of Primary Care & Community Health.

Science has confirmed what sports lovers have always known from experience: exercise is good for the brain. It increases blood flow, inhibits stress hormones, and stimulates the release of 'feel good' endorphins. One way by which exercise is thought to yield these benefits on the brain is through a chain of processes that ultimately results in the release of the hormone BDNF. Produced by the liver, brain, skeletal muscle, and fat tissue, BDNF is known to promote the growth, survival, and maintenance of nerve cells.

In the largest study of its kind, new global research has revealed that drug shortages can become a systemic issue affecting the health of millions of patients and impacting health care systems in Europe and North America.

The approval of new antibody medications for Alzheimer's disease—lecanemab and donanemab—and diagnostic tests in the blood mark the beginning of a new era in Alzheimer's disease diagnosis and treatment. However, without rapid reform in health care systems, public policy, and societal attitudes, their potential will not be fully realized, argue 40 leading Alzheimer's disease experts in The Lancet Series on Alzheimer's disease.

A difference-in-differences analysis examined hospital staffing and patient outcomes after private equity acquisition, focusing on emergency departments (EDs) and intensive care units (ICUs).

A promising new PET tracer can visualize a protein that is commonly overexpressed in triple-negative breast and urothelial bladder cancers within four hours, according to research published in the Journal of Nuclear Medicine. This same-day imaging approach has the potential to save valuable time in guiding treatment decisions and reduce unnecessary exposure to ineffective therapies.

For undergraduates, a trip to the dentist can reflect more than oral health. Those who kept up with dental exams were also more likely to schedule eye and physical exams, carry health insurance, and rate their overall health more positively, according to a recent study.

The US Congressional Budget Office estimates that the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) will cut $186 billion from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) over the next decade, sparking concerns among health experts about how this reduction in funding will affect food and economic security among the 47 million families who rely on this critical assistance.

The trillions of microbes that live in the human gut may play a bigger role in health than previously thought, according to new research by the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. The article, published in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences, explores how gut bacteria interact with human genes in ways that could shape disease risk, aging and even future medical treatments.
