The number of cases of mpox registered in Sierra Leone since the beginning of the year has hit 3,011, with 14 dead of the disease, according to new government data.
People with darker skin still need to wear sunscreen—for more reasons than one.
Endometriosis is a long-term and invisible gynecological condition that affects around 1.5 million women in the UK alone. It's known for its unpredictable and debilitating symptoms, like chronic pelvic pain, heavy periods and fatigue. But many women face outdated practices in the workplace that just don't accommodate the reality of the condition.
Children born before 37 weeks of gestation have a considerably increased risk of dying before they reach the age of five. Predicting the risk of preterm birth (PTB) and hence implementing preventive strategies is complicated by the heterogeneity of the condition, the many unknown mechanisms involved, and the lack of reliable predictive tools.
The noninvasive swept-source anterior-segment optical coherence tomography (SS-ASOCT) can diagnose early-onset childhood glaucoma, according to a study published online May 22 in JAMA Ophthalmology.
Hay fever can be annoying at the best of times. But this year, many people are reporting their usual symptoms are worse than ever before—with their normal go-to remedies doing little to provide relief.
Hip fractures, often a result of a fall, are the most serious type of osteoporotic fracture because they are accompanied by considerable pain, loss of muscle and bone strength, reduced mobility and independence with daily activities, and increased risk for future fractures and death. More than 200,000 American women every year experience hip fractures, and up to three-quarters of them never fully regain their ability to resume normal activities like walking, even after undergoing weeks of exercise rehabilitation.
A new, easily adopted, 3D-printed device will enable scientists to create models of human tissue with even greater control and complexity. An interdisciplinary group of researchers at the University of Washington and UW Medicine led the development of the device.
A "substantial number" of dementia cases in the U.S. could be eliminated by reducing cardiometabolic conditions such as heart attack, stroke and diabetes, according to a new study from Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix.
The U.S. saw a small increase in measles cases this week, an indicator that outbreaks are slowing down, though exposures at a busy airport in Colorado and a Shakira concert in New Jersey are keeping public health experts on their toes.
A case in which a sperm donor was later found to be carrying a cancer-causing pathogenic variant in his gametes has highlighted the problems of regulating gamete donation at the European and international level.
A test developed at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus that measures both prosthetic donning time and mobility in lower-limb amputation, shows that a prosthesis anchored to bone goes on faster than a traditional socket-style prosthesis. The finding is the first to validate the test as a tool to measure performance for lower-limb amputees using bone-anchored prostheses.
Outbreaks of bird flu in mammals more than doubled across the world last year, raising the risk that the virus could potentially spread between humans, an international agency warned on Friday.
North Macedonia said on Friday that two mpox cases were registered for the first time in the Balkan country.
A breakthrough study, led by scientists at Waipapa Taumata Rau, University of Auckland, has uncovered how daylight can boost the immune system's ability to fight infections.
Stroke is one of the leading causes of death and disability in the U.S. And while we often hear about risk factors like high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol levels, and smoking, there's another that often flies under the radar: stress.
New studies stemming from the Armamentarium consortium outline findings that advance tools based on Adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors. An announcement about the work explains how an AAV "acts like a shuttle capable of transporting specially designed DNA into the cell."
In a clinical pilot study, researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) have validated a novel, noninvasive method for measuring central venous pressure (CVP) using quantitative compression ultrasound (QCU). This study, published in BME Frontiers, marks a significant advancement in cardiovascular diagnostics, offering a promising alternative to traditional invasive catheterization and visual inspection methods.
Some people spring into action at dawn, while others prefer a slower start to their day. Whether you rise with a grin or a groan, scientists say your internal clock—known as the circadian rhythm—might influence that behavior and much more.
