Encouraging early results from a SAHMRI-led clinical trial offer new hope to people diagnosed with chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML), a rare and aggressive form of blood cancer.
Montreal Heart Institute-led research has found that older adults using an electric fan at 38 °C and 60% relative humidity experienced a modest fall in core temperature and greater comfort. Fan use at 45 °C and 15% relative humidity raised core temperature and increased discomfort.
Gait assessment is critical for diagnosing and monitoring neurological disorders, yet current clinical standards remain largely subjective and qualitative. Recent advances in AI have enabled more quantitative and accessible gait analysis using widely available sensors such as smartphone cameras.
New research from Edith Cowan University (ECU) has shown age might just be a number when it comes to police recruit physical performance. This research demonstrated that factors such as body composition play a greater role in physical performance than how many birthdays you have had.
Fresh air, sunshine and time outdoors are some of the best parts of summer. But as people head outside to enjoy the good weather and get active, they're doing more than just having fun—they're also lowering their stroke risk.
As summer temperatures soar, so do cases of heat-related illness.
Research from the Regenstrief Institute and the Indiana University School of Medicine highlights a strong connection between psychological health and cardiovascular well-being, with an important focus on racial differences.
A University of Rhode Island-led cohort study links preterm index of cumulative medical risk from birth to year 12 to adult disorders at age 35.
Black men with newly diagnosed prostate cancer have lower odds of overtreatment and confirmatory testing when compared with white men, according to a research letter published online in JAMA Network Open.
Two new studies from the Department of Computational Biomedicine at Cedars-Sinai are advancing what we know about using machine learning and big data to improve health care and medical research. Both studies were published in the peer-reviewed journal Patterns.
President Donald Trump rode to reelection last fall on voter concerns about prices. But as his administration pares back federal rules and programs designed to protect patients from the high cost of health care, Trump risks pushing more Americans into debt, further straining family budgets already stressed by medical bills.
A large new meta-analysis of more than 800,000 participants to be presented at the Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) in Vienna, Austria (15–19 September), shows that high adherence to three well-established healthy eating patterns is linked to a lower risk of type 2 diabetes, regardless of one's ethnicity.
For two decades, Washington, D.C., pediatrician Lanre Falusi has counseled parents about vaccine safety, side effects, and timing. But this year, she said, the conversations have changed.
A few days after a harrowing cosmetic surgery procedure, Erin Schaeffer said, she woke up with fluid leaking from an open wound in her stomach.
New Swinburne research has found that psychological stress may lead to higher blood pressure and therefore increase the risk of heart disease and stroke.
A major international research effort led by UNSW's Center for Healthy Brain Aging (CHeBA) is reshaping our understanding of dementia by addressing a longstanding gap in global health equity.
An innovative new study from researchers at the Center for Healthy Brain Aging (CHeBA), UNSW Sydney, reveals that something as simple as a mouse's dinner could be distorting critical preclinical imaging results.
In low-resource settings, babies born with gastroschisis—a congenital condition in which the developing intestines extend outside the body through a hole in the abdominal wall—face life-threatening challenges.
Nature is often the best model for science. For nearly a century, scientists have been trying to recreate the ability of some mammals and birds to survive extreme environmental conditions for brief or extended periods by going into torpor, when their body temperature and metabolic rate drop, allowing them to preserve energy and heat.
