Therapy is a well-tested approach to helping people with mental health challenges, yet research shows that nearly 50% of individuals who could benefit from therapeutic services are unable to reach them.
In a study that holds significance for individuals with cerebrovascular disease, scientists from the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore (NUS Medicine), have found proteins in the blood that predict future cognitive decline and dementia.

Reaching for a pint of ice cream after a hard day can certainly be comforting. But when eating in response to bad feelings rather than physical hunger becomes a pattern, it also becomes a problem.
Weight loss drugs, including Wegovy (semaglutide) and Mounjaro (tirzepatide), are becoming increasingly popular among those trying to lose weight. But a rise in so-called "Ozempic babies" has led the UK's medicines regulator to issue guidance on their use by women of reproductive age.

New research from Radboudumc involving a thousand athletes shows that elevated troponin levels after exercise are not due to coronary atherosclerosis. This suggests that the cause of elevated troponin levels after exertion lies elsewhere.
At some point in their lifetimes, approximately one out of every eight women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer.

Rest, rehab and patience are cornerstones of injury recovery. But should quitting alcohol be a part of any recovery plan? This is what England cricket captain Ben Stokes has done—saying he's given up alcohol in a bid to quickly recover from a serious hamstring injury.

Esther Bejarano's son was 11 months old when asthma landed him in the hospital. She didn't know what had triggered his symptoms—neither she nor her husband had asthma—but she suspected it was the pesticides sprayed on the agricultural fields near her family's home.
When the brain is under pressure, certain neural signals begin to move in sync—much like a well-rehearsed orchestra. A new study from Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) is the first to show how flexibly this neural synchrony adjusts to different situations and that this dynamic coordination is closely linked to cognitive abilities.
Living in zero gravity can lead to periodontitis, a common and serious condition where the gums become inflamed and the bone that supports teeth starts to break down, eventually leading to tooth loss, scientists reveal in a new study.
Washington state reported 25 times as many whooping cough cases last year as the year before, according to new data that serve as a reminder of the disease's continued surge here and nationwide.
It's been long established that our working memory, which allows us to temporarily hold and use information, such as remembering a phone number or a shopping list, is largely driven by the brain's prefrontal cortex. However, new research finds that the part of the brain used in visual processing plays a much more critical role in working memory than previously thought.
