Homelessness is increasing in pregnant and parenting people in Canada, posing health risks to children. Authors of a commentary in the Canadian Medical Association Journal argue it is a health crisis that needs urgent attention.
Canada can learn from England's successful diabetes prevention program to build its own programs to tackle diabetes prevention across the country, argue the authors in an analysis in the Canadian Medical Association Journal.
The most comprehensive analysis of rheumatoid arthritis data to date reveals that demographic changes and uneven health infrastructure have exacerbated the rheumatoid arthritis burden since 1980 and shows global disparities on a granular level.
Women who work nightshifts are more likely to suffer with moderate or severe asthma compared to women who work in the daytime, according to a study published in ERJ Open Research.
A study led by University of Manchester epidemiologists has revealed which opioid painkillers are most likely to be associated with constipation in patients with non-cancer pain.
Want to reduce your risk of dementia and Alzheimer's disease?
Health officials want you to think twice before buying one of those brightly colored little bottles often sold at gas stations, convenience stores and smoke shops.
How the brain largely maintains its function when neurons are lost—this is what researchers at the University Medical Center Mainz, the Frankfurt Institute for Advanced Studies (FIAS) and Hebrew University (Jerusalem) have deciphered. They show that neuronal networks in the cerebral cortex reorganize within a short period of time, with other nerve cells taking over the tasks of the lost neurons.
Pembrolizumab, an immune checkpoint inhibitor, has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of patients with resectable locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma whose tumors express PD-L1 [Combined Positive Score (CPS) ≥1] as determined by an FDA-approved test.
The U.S. logged fewer than 30 measles cases this week as Ohio health officials confirmed three outbreaks in two counties were over.
Tooth disorders accounted for an annual average of 1,944,000 emergency department visits during 2020 to 2022, according to a June data brief published by the National Center for Health Statistics.
Cleveland Clinic researchers are working to improve the way we use evolutionary modeling to understand drug resistance. The study, published in Science Advances, uses a new type of evolutionary model called a "fitness seascape" to incorporate a patient's dosage schedule into models that predict whether an infection will develop antibiotic resistance, and has found that inconsistent timing and missing early doses can lead to treatment failure.
Axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) is a chronic inflammatory rheumatic musculoskeletal disease that predominantly affects the axial skeleton. axSpA is an umbrella term that comprises the whole spectrum of patients with and without radiographic sacroiliitis, and joint ASAS/EULAR recommendations were published in 2022.
Immunotherapy has revolutionized cancer treatment by mobilizing the immune system to attack tumor cells. Major advances, such as immune checkpoint inhibitors (notably against the PD-1 protein), have produced impressive results against certain types of cancer, including melanoma and kidney cancer.
Be it peanuts or other triggers, many families live with the day-to-day risk that their child might experience a sudden and scary allergic reaction. Pediatric emergency department visits in the United States to treat acute allergic reactions more than tripled from 2008 to 2016.
It is known that vasculopathy plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of systemic sclerosis (SSc). Vasoactive vasodilating drugs (VVD) are an option. The most recent treatment recommendations from EULAR—The European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology—note that advances in vasculopathy management for patients with SSc emphasize a treatment continuum for the use of various VVD, but also stress the need for trials to look for potential synergistic combinations as well as high-quality real-world data to build the evidence. New data shared at the 2025 EULAR congress in Barcelona may take a step in that direction.
New research from the University of Minnesota Medical School suggests that different genetic forms of autism may lead to similar patterns in brain activity and behavior. The findings were recently published in Nature Neuroscience.
Adolescents and young adults with chronic diseases need special care—and pediatric rheumatological conditions can persist into adulthood. Two new works presented at the 2025 congress of EULAR—The European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology—consider the training that health care professionals need to help support transition for younger patients, and the perspectives and experiences of young adults.
Alcohol-related liver disease deaths are increasing—and they're rising faster in some groups, including women, young adults and Indigenous people, new research shows.
