A new potential antibody therapy strategy which restricts the growth of treatment-resistant breast cancers has been developed by scientists.
For millions of people living with back pain, the cause is often elusive. One underrecognized culprit is axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA)—a form of inflammatory arthritis that primarily affects the spine and sacroiliac joints of the hips. Left undiagnosed, axSpA can lead to chronic back pain, stiffness, reduced mobility, and diminished quality of life. On average, patients may suffer pain for eight to 12 years before receiving the correct diagnosis.
In the U.S. alone, more than 6.7 million people have heart failure, a number that is projected to increase to more than 8.5 million by 2030. Heart failure is a progressive condition in which the heart struggles to pump enough blood and oxygen to support the organs in the body.
Individuals who are physically fit may be better equipped to handle the negative effects of dehydration, according to research from the University of California, Riverside.
Neurons have dominated neuroscience research for decades, but a growing body of evidence suggests that a group of non-neuronal brain cells called glia may play an equal or greater role in shaping brain health and disease. The human brain contains as many glial cells as it does neurons, yet we know far less about their organization and how they might contribute to the unique functions of each brain area.
Randomized, controlled clinical trials are crucial for telling whether a new treatment is safe and effective. But often scientists don't fully report the details of their trials in a way that allows other researchers to gauge how well they designed and conducted those studies.
Front-line health care workers struggling with depression after the COVID-19 pandemic experienced significant relief from a treatment combining psilocybin group therapy with mindfulness training, according to a new study from Huntsman Mental Health Institute at University of Utah Health. Doctors and nurses who received this controlled, group psilocybin therapy along with an eight-week Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction program saw far greater improvements than those who only learned mindfulness techniques.
New research from the University of South Australia shows that the way we count our population could distort how health services are planned and funded—with some regions potentially over- or under-invested by more than 20%.
Interventions designed to reduce loneliness can be effective, but do not yet offer a complete solution to what is becoming a worldwide public health problem, according to research published in the journal American Psychologist.
You may have seen recent news stories reporting that a national data investigation found that routine childhood vaccination is slipping across much of the United States, leaving classrooms and daycares with growing gaps in protection against highly contagious diseases like measles and whooping cough.
A new study estimates that nearly one in five urinary tract infections in Southern California may be caused by E. coli strains transmitted through contaminated meat—and pose a hidden foodborne risk to millions of people not just in California but across the US.
The threat posed by superbugs to travelers from countries around the globe has been revealed in a new study from The Australian National University (ANU).
For many people, the rise of artificial intelligence–generated images has sparked anxiety—about misinformation, deepfakes and the blurring line between what's real and what's not. But in the world of medical imaging, realism isn't the problem—it's the goal.
Identifying the factors that contribute to psychopathology and increase the risk of experiencing specific mental health conditions is a long-standing goal for many psychology researchers. While past studies have highlighted the crucial role of some experiences, particularly challenging events unfolding during childhood and adolescence, in the development of mental health disorders, their influence is often difficult to quantify and differentiate from other factors that could contribute to psychopathology.
Autoimmune neuromuscular diseases may sound complex, but understanding them is the first step to getting the right care and support. Conditions such as Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS), myasthenia gravis (MG), and inclusion body myositis (IBM) affect how muscles and nerves communicate, leading to muscle weakness and fatigue.
Imagine popping by your eye doctor's office for a quick cataract surgery.
Standard MRI scans of a person's tongue could assist in the early detection and ongoing monitoring of motor neuron disease.
Problems with the brain's waste clearance system could underlie many cases of dementia and help explain why poor sleep patterns and cardiovascular risk factors such as high blood pressure increase the risk of dementia.
Alzheimer's disease is notorious for scrambling patients' daily rhythms. Restless nights with little sleep and increased napping during the day are early indicators of disease onset, while sundowning, or confusion later in the day, is typical for later stages of the disease.
