Nearly 100 people aboard Royal Caribbean's Serenade of the Seas contracted norovirus during a two-week voyage from San Diego to Miami, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said.
Researchers at McGill's Centre of Genomics and Policy (CGP) have launched a first-of-its-kind guide to help Canadian health-care providers offer more inclusive, respectful and affirming care to intersex adults.
If you've been to a medical appointment recently, you may have already interacted with AI. As you describe your symptoms to the doctor, they may ask your permission to use an "AI scribe" to convert audio into medical notes in real time.
Researchers at University of Tsukuba have found that people who have switched jobs are more likely to experience symptoms such as headaches, fatigue, and insomnia, based on the results of an internet survey conducted with approximately 20,000 people in Japan.
Trying to document how single brain cells participate in networks that govern behavior is a daunting task. Brain probes called Neuropixels, which feature high-density silicon arrays, have enabled scientists to collect electrophysiological data of this nature from a variety of animals. These include fish, reptiles, rodents and primates, as well as humans.
A team of researchers have discovered a powerful bispecific inhibitor capable of combating all existing human-pathogenic coronaviruses, including those resistant to existing treatments like Paxlovid. This promising inhibitor, named TMP1, offers hope for more effective and resilient treatments against future outbreaks. A patent has been filed for further exploration in clinical applications.
An increasing number of people are dying from drug-related accidental injuries. The rate has risen by nearly 60% within the last five years, according to new study findings.
Pedestrian-motor vehicle accidents are a common cause of injury in both children and adults, accounting for one death every 64 minutes and injuring thousands every year. Two recent analyses reveal that while both adults and children suffer serious injuries in collisions, adults tend to experience more severe outcomes than children. Additionally, mapping the locations of these injuries can pinpoint where accidents occur most frequently, offering valuable insights for targeting prevention efforts effectively.
Facing a cancer diagnosis can be one of the most stressful times for patients and their loved ones. When seeking a surgeon for treatment, providing emotional support and helping patients manage expectations are among the top areas of communication valued by patients, according to a new systematic review.
Depression is known to be associated with physical health challenges, in everything from disrupting sleep to an increased cancer risk. Depression can also affect surgical outcomes and postoperative costs, according to new study findings.
Adults under 50 undergoing colonoscopy were found to have a dramatically higher risk of having colorectal cancer when the procedure was done for rectal bleeding. Researchers found that rectal bleeding increased the odds of a colorectal cancer diagnosis by 8.5 times, underscoring the need to take the symptom seriously even in the absence of a family history in a population who may not otherwise meet screening age criteria.
A new national study reveals that hospitals providing surgical care have closed at a significantly higher rate than new ones have opened, with closures disproportionately concentrated in communities with high levels of poverty and social vulnerability. The study highlights a growing disparity in access to surgical care.
New study findings show that over 40% of drivers who died in motor vehicle collisions tested positive for active delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in their system, with average blood levels far exceeding those considered to cause impairment. The research highlights a significant and persistent public health risk that is unchanged by the legalization of recreational cannabis, the authors said.
While mastectomy is often a necessary and life-saving treatment option for many women with breast cancer, the surgery may contribute to worse sexual health, body image, and several other physical and emotional challenges after surgery, according to a new systematic review on the effects of mastectomy in women with breast cancer. Surgeons said the research underscores the importance of screening women before they undergo a mastectomy.
New research findings show a significant increase in the use of weight loss drugs among patients undergoing metabolic and bariatric surgery, signaling an evolution in the management of obesity and type 2 diabetes.
Patients with cancer whose credit scores decline after their diagnosis face a significantly higher risk of mortality, providing the first objective data linking financial health to physical survival.
Response times for emergency medical services (EMS) in rural areas can take almost 20 minutes longer compared to the national average, and the severity of the medical needs in these communities are likely to be much worse, according to an analysis of a large national EMS database.
Researchers at James Cook University have discovered that venoms from two species of stonefish possess powerful immunosuppressive properties and could pave the way for the development of new drugs. Their findings are reported in Toxicon.
A new study, published in Nature Genetics, created the largest genetic map of human metabolism, revealing new insights into the role of metabolites in health and disease and creating a blueprint for further research.
