Weight loss injections can reduce the risk of heart failure by over 40%, study shows

The most common type of brain tumor in children, pilocytic astrocytoma (PA), accounts for about 15% of all pediatric brain tumors. Although this type of tumor is usually not life-threatening, the unchecked growth of tumor cells can disrupt normal brain development and function.

In 2010, UCLA nursing professor Barbara Bates-Jensen traveled to Haiti to direct and provide wound care for victims of a 7.0-magnitude earthquake that had killed or injured more than half a million people and left 5 million displaced.

A team of Hong Kong researchers has found that binge gaming correlates with poorer social, academic, and mental health outcomes in schoolchildren, with distinct patterns by gender.

Immune cells released from bone marrow in the skull in response to chronic stress and adversity could play a key role in symptoms of depression and anxiety, say researchers.

"Young" immune cells created by Cedars-Sinai investigators reversed signs of aging and Alzheimer's disease in the brains of laboratory mice, according to a study published in the journal Advanced Science.

David Bregger had never heard of kratom before his son, Daniel, 33, died in Denver in 2021 from using what he thought was a natural and safe remedy for anxiety.

When scientists cracked the human genome in 2003—sequencing the entire genetic code of a human being—many expected it would unlock the secrets of disease. But genetics explained only about 10% of the risk. The other 90% lies in the environment—and diet plays a huge part.

A hormone produced by the brain, orexin, may play a central role in the functioning of the brain's glymphatic system, which clears waste, according to a new study from the University of Oulu.

Black adults in the U.S. are first hospitalized for heart failure nearly 14 years earlier than white adults, reports a Northwestern Medicine study that analyzed data from more than 42,000 patients across hundreds of hospitals nationwide.

University of Southern California psychologists report that first-time fathers show stronger brain activation to their own infant than to unfamiliar infants or their romantic partner, with links to bonding and parenting stress.

Research from a Monash University-led team has confirmed 2018 research that found healthy older adults who took a low-dose of aspirin daily experienced a higher risk of a major hemorrhage without any overall cardiovascular benefit.

A simple cheek swab test could detect children who have arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy, according to research presented at the European Society of Cardiology's annual congress in Madrid.

Despite nearly 90% of pet owners viewing their animals as family members, few understand the emotional and practical complexities of providing animal care that veterinarians navigate daily.

A study published in JAMA Neurology found that patients with atrial fibrillation who were treated with Eliquis (apixaban) and carry the APOE e4 genetic allele have a higher risk of intracranial hemorrhage (bleeding within the skull) than those not treated with Eliquis.

A study conducted by researchers at Saint Louis University has uncovered new insights into the injury patterns among pickleball players across the U.S., highlighting a significant finding: increased Body Mass Index (BMI) did not increase the odds of injury among pickleball players.

Political polarization during COVID-19 was 12 times greater than in past disease outbreaks in terms of vaccine hesitancy, according to a comprehensive new study by Caitlin McMurtry, an assistant professor at the Brown School at Washington University in St. Louis.

Collecting high-quality genomic data is time-consuming, expensive, and often only possible through large-scale national efforts. Thankfully, a new tool developed by the UC Santa Cruz Genomics Institute's Computational Genomics Lab is making existing datasets easier to find and use, ensuring that more researchers can build on these precious resources rather than starting from scratch.

Long-term results from the largest randomized trial of stenting and surgery have shown that the procedures are equally protective against stroke resulting from carotid artery disease.
