Working together with people in secure mental health units to stay healthy

A wearable technology developed by Technion Professor Hossam Haick and colleagues in China enables real-time, noninvasive tracking and optimized treatment for diabetic patients.

Investigators led by Navdeep Chandel, Ph.D., the David W. Cugell, MD, Professor of Medicine in the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care, have discovered how the metabolism of mitochondria supports T-cell proliferation and also prevents T-cell exhaustion in cancer and chronic infection, according to recent findings published in Nature Immunology.

A study comparing the effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection in lean and obese primates found different long-term consequences of the virus depending on prior obesity and metabolic disease.

Researchers have harnessed the power of artificial intelligence to design a blueprint for building a vaccine that aims to teach the body's immune system to fight cancer.

Melanoma testing could one day be done at home with a skin patch and test strip with two lines, similar to COVID-19 home tests, according to University of Michigan researchers.

Critical questions need addressing before any clinical use of in vitro gametogenesis (IVG), says a new report by a Lancaster University-based research project.

A discovery at Hudson Institute more than 20 years ago is still sparking new medical insights, with researchers at a major US University using it to uncover vital facts about sexually transmitted disease (STI).

Thanks to a new technique, neurosurgeons at UMC Utrecht have been able to watch the blood flow in brain tissue live during surgery for the first time. Together with researchers from Eindhoven University of Technology, they have developed a method that allows them to detect the risk of a stroke during surgery sooner—and potentially prevent it. The technique could also be useful for other types of operations, such as kidney transplants.

Despite being one of the most preventable and treatable cancers, colorectal cancer continues to claim more lives in Black communities than in any other racial group in the United States. Incidence and mortality rates remain about 20% and 30% higher for Black individuals compared with White individuals, making it a leading driver of racial health disparities.

In a pair of articles published in Lancet Gastroenterology & Hepatology, scientists lay out the case for why we should expand treatment recommendations for people with hepatitis B.

In the world's first comprehensive study to evaluate both the nutritional quality and environmental footprint of food served in health care institutions using detailed, food-level data, researchers assessed menus and food procurement data from two hospitals and three nursing homes of average size in Germany. These institutions' foodservice likely reflects that of many health care institutions in high-income countries.

Konstanz researchers identify an enzyme that plays a role in the migration of cells in our body—not only during normal tissue formation and wound healing, but also when tumor cells metastasize. This makes the enzyme an interesting candidate for potential future therapeutic approaches.

During a severe heart attack many heart muscle cells die and are replaced by scar tissue to stabilize the heart wall. Connective tissue cells, known as fibroblasts (FB), are the dominant cell type in scar tissue.

Mizzou scientist discovers how a deadly bacterium spread by the lone star tick survives, bringing hope for new treatments.

It seemed like a simple idea. Design a device that will make it possible for a human eye to remain alive and functional outside of the body. At least for a few hours. And then a few days.

Dana-Farber research uncovered the potential for underdiagnosis of this aggressive cancer and identified additional tests required for an accurate diagnosis.

Cannabis has gained increased use in the United States, outpacing alcohol as Americans' daily recreational drug of choice. Nearly 20% of cannabis users have admitted to driving after using the drug. However, unlike for alcohol, reliable roadside tests for cannabis don't exist. Even blood tests can't determine when a person used cannabis, leaving law enforcement without a way to determine a person's recent use, much less how intoxicated they are.

Are you a woman who exercises regularly? If so, here's a vital question: do you train your pelvic floor muscles as part of your routine?
