Type 2 diabetes may double risk of sepsis, large community-based study suggests

A large Cleveland Clinic study has found that people with obesity and type 2 diabetes who undergo weight-loss surgery live longer and face fewer serious health problems compared with those treated with GLP-1 receptor agonist medicines alone.

When someone has a stroke—a leading worldwide cause of death and disability—time is of the essence. Almost nine out of 10 cases are ischemic strokes, caused by restricted blood flow in the brain, and the current gold-standard treatment that breaks up blood clots must be delivered within four and a half hours of symptoms appearing.

Scientists have developed a smarter way to activate the immune system against cancer, potentially making treatments safer and more precise.

Research from Edith Cowan University (ECU) has revealed that both resistance training and high intensity interval training (HIIT) produced sufficient levels of myokines to help in the fight against cancer.

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s new vaccine advisory committee meets this week, with votes expected on whether to change recommendations on shots against COVID-19, hepatitis B and chickenpox.

Novel research shows that in approximately one third of countries and territories worldwide, population aging was the largest contributor to the growing burden of musculoskeletal disorders from 1990 to 2021.

A major study of laser correction for short-sightedness shows that the procedure is as safe and effective in older teenagers as it is in adults, according to research presented at the 43rd Congress of the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons (ESCRS).

New research being presented at the Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) in Vienna, Austria (15–19 September) shows that individuals who are taking semaglutide for weight loss experience less food noise than before.

New research being presented at the Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) in Vienna, Austria (15–19 September) shows that some individuals who are taking Ozempic, Wegovy or Mounjaro find that foods taste sweeter or saltier than before.

A microsimulation model was used to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of two glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1RAs), semaglutide and tirzepatide, for patients with osteoarthritis and obesity compared with usual care, diet and exercise, and weight loss surgeries.

Gaslighting could happen to anyone who trusts the wrong person, a McGill University researcher says. Willis Klein, a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Psychology, was part of a team from McGill and the University of Toronto that developed a new theoretical model with which to understand how manipulators are able to make their targets question their sense of reality over a period of time.

Not all products are equally beneficial for everyone. Some are double-edged swords—used appropriately, they can be lifesavers; but used in the wrong hands or the wrong way, there can be significant risks involved.

Parental diseases of despair (DoD; i.e., substance use disorder, alcohol-related disease, or suicidal behavior) are associated with suicidal events (SE) in offspring, according to a study published online Sept. 12 in JAMA Network Open.

An international study led by Dr. Suraj Samtani and published in the American Journal of Epidemiology has found that emotional support, such as having someone to talk to when feeling stressed, is linked to significantly lower levels of depression among older adults, both now and into the future.

Imagine you are developing antibodies—drugs precisely aimed at a target, for example a viral protein or onco-marker. You test a series of antibodies and find that some work, while others do not.

Mobile integrated health (MIH) can help heart failure patients transition from the hospital to home, and may offer additional benefits to women and younger patients, say Columbia Nursing researchers in a report in JAMA Internal Medicine.

A study published in JCO Clinical Cancer Informatics demonstrates that machine learning models incorporating patient-reported outcomes and wearable sensor data can predict which patients with non–small cell lung cancer are most at risk of needing urgent care during treatment. The study was led by researchers and clinicians at Moffitt Cancer Center.

A landmark international study has revealed that gestational diabetes (GDM) during pregnancy is strongly associated with declines in intellectual function for mothers and a higher risk of developmental, behavioral, and autism spectrum disorders in children.
