More than half of patients prescribed medical cannabis for chronic musculoskeletal pain stop using it within a year, according to new research from Philadelphia that raises fresh questions about the drug's longevity and its role in long-term pain management—especially among older adults.
Our imagination might not be as powerful as we think when it comes to holding visual images, according to a first-of-its-kind study by psychologists at Nottingham Trent University (NTU).
In a significant research advancement that may help inform treatment strategies for millions of patients worldwide, a research team led by Prof. Fei-Yuan Hsiao of National Taiwan University and Prof. Liang-Kung Chen of National Yang-Ming Chiao Tung University has provided important new insights into a critical clinical question: "Which diabetes medications may offer better lung outcomes for patients with both diabetes and COPD—and does patient frailty matter?"
Heart attacks are life-changing events, but one type can be particularly distressing.
For the first time, people can get their annual flu vaccine without leaving the comfort of home.
Texas Children's is pleased to announce that a three-year-old girl has been successfully treated with the first-ever FDA-approved gene therapy treatment for AADC deficiency.
Mental health providers are trained to guide others through trauma, yet their own exposure to clients' suffering can take a significant toll. Studies show that between 40% and 85% of providers experience compassion fatigue or secondary traumatic stress—key signs of reduced professional quality of life. These stressors are often ongoing and layered, and when combined with limited coping tools and a sense that they have little control over their circumstances, the impact can be even greater.
A new study delving into the genetic drivers of a rare and aggressive childhood cancer called Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumor (MPNST) has revealed metabolic frailties in the cancer cells that might be exploited to improve treatments for patients.
Automated insulin delivery (AID) systems such as the UVA Health-developed artificial pancreas could help more type 1 diabetes patients if the devices become fully automated, according to a new review of the technology.
If you've spent time on social media recently, you have probably been exposed to questionable "wellness" content. You may have been instructed to dip your toes in icy water or let the sun shine where it usually doesn't.
Aging is particularly harsh on the hippocampus—the brain region responsible for learning and memory. Now, researchers at UC San Francisco have identified a protein that's at the center of this decline.
A national study led by the Registry of Senior Australians (ROSA) Research Center based at SAHMRI and the Caring Futures Institute at Flinders University, has revealed significant gaps in the quality of aged care services being provided to older Australians.
As our population ages, we're living longer and dying older. End-of-life care is therefore an increasingly important part of aged care. In Australia, around 50% of people aged over 85 die in an aged care home.
Our sense of smell is more important than we often realize. It helps us enjoy food, detect danger like smoke or gas leaks, and even affects our memory and emotions. Many people—especially after COVID-19, aging, or brain injury—suffer from a loss of smell. However, there are very few effective treatments, and those that exist often use strong scents or medicines that cause discomfort in patients.
The most common cancer-causing strain of human papillomavirus (HPV), HPV16, undermines the body's defenses by reprogramming immune cells surrounding the tumor, according to new research from the Keck School of Medicine of USC.
Cerebrovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis and stroke remain a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. A common feature of these diseases is vascular stenosis, i.e., the narrowing of blood vessels, which disrupts normal blood flow and contributes to chronic inflammation in the vessel wall. Endothelial cells lining the vasculature play a key role in sensing shear stress from blood flow and responding to disturbed hemodynamics by expressing pro-inflammatory molecules. However, studying this phenomenon in vivo is challenging due to the complexity and variability of living systems.
A hybrid reading strategy for screening mammography, developed by Dutch researchers and deployed retrospectively to more than 40,000 exams, reduced radiologist workload by 38% without changing recall or cancer detection rates.
Art Sullivan, a 38-year-old Ironman athlete, and Josh Lehman, 48, who works at the University of Rochester, are connected by an unlikely foe: a type of brain tumor called an astrocytoma that tends to afflict younger adults. They are also benefiting from the first new treatment for this cancer in decades—and it's changing their lives.
After experiencing catastrophic storms from near and far, anxiety might creep up when you hear about the next weather event. A Baylor College of Medicine psychiatrist offers tips to maintain distress ahead of upcoming storms.
