Understanding the effect of bedding on thermal insulation during sleep

Scientists from Stanley Manne Children's Research Institute at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago and colleagues identified several proteins from the umbilical cord blood of preterm newborns that signal acute systemic inflammation as an immune response to infection, providing objective and noninvasive means to diagnose early onset sepsis.

New research suggests that a healthy microbiome before chemotherapy could help protect breast cancer patients against heart damage, or cardiotoxicity, as a result of cancer therapy.

Scientists have developed a tool that can predict how bowel cancer adapts to treatment—helping researchers to design new personalized drugs that will keep patients living well for longer.

Premade chicken fettuccine Alfredo meals sold at Walmart and Kroger have been recalled amid a listeria outbreak that sickened 17 people and led to three deaths and one pregnancy loss.

Good sleep is vital for adolescents' physical health, mental well-being, and academic success—yet many don't get enough rest. Now, a new study reveals bedtime screen habits may be to blame.

Two butcher shops in northern France have temporarily closed after a child died from severe food poisoning, said local authorities on Friday.

New research has uncovered immune changes in cancer patients that could help identify which patients are most at risk of dangerous heart complications from cancer drugs, known as immune checkpoint inhibitors.

Researchers from RWJBarnabas Health and Rutgers Cancer Institute, New Jersey's only National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center, as well as Tufts Medical Center and The University of Manchester, have developed and validated the first individualized risk prediction model for adults diagnosed with early-stage classic Hodgkin's lymphoma.

A new laboratory method developed by researchers at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons may now help physicians more quickly diagnose patients with suspected genetic disorders of the immune system, many who have been trapped in diagnostic limbo for years.

People with ME/CFS (myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome) have significant differences in their blood compared with healthy individuals, a new study reveals, suggesting a path toward more reliable diagnosis of the long-term debilitating illness. The paper is published in the journal EMBO Molecular Medicine.

"Exercise is good for your health" is a well-known phrase, but few people can clearly explain how and why it benefits the human body. A joint research team has discovered a key protein, CLCF1 (cardiotrophin-like cytokine factor 1), that plays a central role in mediating the health benefits of physical activity.

A new randomized clinical trial, led by a team of researchers from Wake Forest University School of Medicine and Wake Forest University, did not find evidence that wearing a weighted vest or engaging in resistance training prevented bone loss in older adults undergoing intentional weight loss.

Liver fibrosis, a pathological condition in which the liver becomes stiff and scarred, commonly develops in the progression of chronic liver diseases such as chronic hepatitis and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH). Because advanced fibrosis can lead to cirrhosis or liver cancer, understanding the underlying mechanisms is critical for developing effective therapies.

A fecal transplant performs as well as antibiotics in treating people with a bacterial infection that can cause life-threatening diarrhea, a new study says.

Two Tasmanian women have been hospitalized with invasive meningococcal disease, bringing the number of cases nationally so far this year to 48. Health authorities are urging people to watch for symptoms and to check if they're eligible for vaccination.

Snoring is often dismissed as a harmless quirk—or the punchline of bedtime jokes—but it can signal deeper issues that go beyond mere acoustic annoyance.

A new study led by researchers at National Taiwan University (NTU) reveals that subtle differences in retinal thickness between the eyes—known as inter-eye retinal asymmetry—may serve as an early and accessible biomarker for cognitive frailty, a high-risk condition combining mild cognitive impairment with physical frailty.

The recent death of a British woman from rabies after a holiday in Morocco is a sobering reminder of the risks posed by this almost universally fatal disease, once symptoms begin.
