Ultrasound guidance can reduce IUD insertion time compared to conventional methods

Screening women with dense breasts with both molecular breast imaging (MBI) and digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) increased overall invasive cancer detection while modestly increasing the recall rate compared with screening only with DBT, according to a new study published in Radiology.

Mindfulness meditation may help people struggling with concurrent depression and Internet gaming disorder, according to a study published in PNAS Nexus. Guang-Heng Dong and colleagues treated 59 people with depression and Internet gaming disorder (IGD)—which is characterized by excessive and dysregulated video game playing.

Research led by The Hong Kong Polytechnic University finds that regional fat distribution exerts distinct effects on brain structure, connectivity and cognition, revealing patterns not explained by body mass index (BMI).

Researchers from Vanderbilt University Medical Center have demonstrated in a precision-based clinical trial that a magnesium supplement increases gut bacteria in humans that have been shown to synthesize vitamin D and inhibit colorectal cancer carcinogenesis.

Avocado toast with fried cheese as the bread and zucchini noodles in butter-bacon sauce are among the many recipe ideas fueling social media's beloved high-fat, low-carbohydrate ketogenic, or keto diet. However, scientists have found that while keto can lead to limited weight gain and even weight loss, it does so at the cost of metabolic issues like glucose intolerance.

A recent study examined whether higher educational debt among physicians is associated with more hours worked per week and whether both are independently associated with burnout symptoms among early-career family physicians.

Researchers at Duke University have shown that blocking an enzyme involved in iron regulation not only kills multiple myeloma cancer cells, but also increases the effectiveness of current therapies against the disease. Their research was published on September 12 in the journal Blood.

A recent study tested whether a referral order inside the Epic electronic health record (EHR) could help primary care clinicians refer patients to community-based diabetes prevention programs (DPPs), an important public health strategy to reduce incident type 2 diabetes, and whether patients enrolled after referral.

Scientists from the University of Oslo (UiO), Akershus University Hospital (Ahus), and international partners have released a new expert opinion in Nature Aging. The article brings together more than 25 researchers from around the world, including clinicians and internationally recognized leaders in the biology of aging and metabolism, particularly in the study of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD⁺).

WHO has released a new landscape analysis that exposes critical gaps in global research and development (R&D) efforts related to cancer. The report reveals that despite rapid advancements in clinical research, investment and innovation are often misaligned with the greatest public health needs—leaving many of the world's most vulnerable populations behind.

Routine blood samples, such as those taken daily at any hospital and tracked over time, could help predict the severity of an injury and even provide insights into mortality after spinal cord damage, according to a recent University of Waterloo study.

Korean researchers have uncovered compelling evidence that oral bacteria, once colonized in the gut, can affect neurons in the brain and potentially trigger Parkinson's disease.

Illinois health leaders should part ways with the federal government when it comes to COVID-19 vaccines and recommend the shots for all adults and many children, an influential state committee voted Monday.

Air pollution may be harming children's eyesight with cleaner air helping to protect and even improve their vision—especially in younger children, a new study reveals.

Most children bounce back from pain after an injury or illness. But for one in five—approximately 877,000 children in Australia—the pain continues.

Researchers at Zhengzhou University report evidence that physical frailty is associated with dementia and that genetic background, brain structure, and immunometabolic function may mediate this link.

Place cells are specialized neurons in a brain region known as the hippocampus, which have been found to fire when animals are in specific locations. These cells don't fire randomly, but their activity is known to be organized by theta oscillations, which in rats means that they fire in sync with rhythmic brain waves between 7–9 Hz.

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