X-ray analytics in motion: Dynamic 3D diagnosis for unstable shoulders

Exposure to a common fungal molecule can reprogram immune cells in the lungs, causing them to overreact to infection-like signals and worsen lung damage, according to new research.

Got a sore throat and the sniffles? The recent rise of rapid at-home tests has made it easier to find out if you have a serious illness like COVID-19 or just a touch of spring allergies. But while quick and convenient, these at-home tests are less sensitive than those available at the doctor's office, meaning that you may still test negative even if you are infected.

Gaines County, the epicenter of the massive Texas measles outbreak that began in January, no longer has ongoing measles transmission, public health officials said on Tuesday.

When Israelis think about health, they may picture hospitals, doctors, or the rising cost of prescription drugs. But a new integrative study by Jordan Hannink Attal (Hebrew University and the University of Melbourne) and Prof. Yehuda Neumark (Hebrew University) suggests the most important factor may be much closer to home—literally.

Researchers from the University of Florida Emerging Pathogens Institute and Texas A&M University recently gathered their resources to investigate the potential of vector-borne transmission of Chagas in Florida. The 10-year-long study, published in PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases, used data from Florida-based submissions, as well as field evidence collected from 23 counties across Florida.

Talking to loved ones about a recent head and neck cancer diagnosis can be overwhelming. Of course, there is no one "right" or "wrong" way to handle these conversations—or adjusting to your life with cancer. Everyone has their own pace, preferences and relationship patterns. But taking the time to consider your approach can help make these conversations more manageable.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the greatest challenges of our time. Biochemist and microbiologist Markus Seeger explains why the global fight against AMR can only be won by working together, and why formats such as the Indo-Swiss AMR Innovation Dialogue are key.

Drinking water treatment that pursues a multi-contaminant approach, tackling several pollutants at once, could prevent more than 50,000 lifetime cancer cases in the U.S., finds a new study by the Environmental Working Group.

Use of nucleoside and nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) is associated with an increased risk for primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), according to a study published online June 20 in Ophthalmology.

Those who are blessed with long lives will eventually experience a decline in cognitive functions, and working memory is particularly susceptible. However, various forms of exercise and activities that flex the brain are thought to help maintain memory function in old age.

In a clinical practice guideline issued by the American Society for Radiation Oncology and published online June 25 in Practical Radiation Oncology, updated recommendations are presented for the management of World Health Organization (WHO) grade 4 adult-type diffuse glioma, focusing on radiation therapy (RT) and/or adjunctive therapies.

Implantable bioelectronics are vital to neuroscience, neurological therapies, and brain-machine interfaces. They serve as indispensable interfaces that enable the communication between biological systems and external devices through the sensing, monitoring, and modulation of bioelectrical signals.

Scientists have discovered novel drug candidates which could ultimately lead to new effective treatments for conditions caused by tissue stress and inflammation, including neuropathic pain and ischemia-reperfusion injury.

Targeted training interventions for both health professionals and parents significantly increase the amount of skin-to-skin contact between newborns and their parents in the first 48 hours after birth. The proportion of babies who received nearly 24 hours of skin contact over the first 24 hours increased from 33% to 58%. This is shown in a new study published in Acta Paediatrica from Uppsala University.

The first malaria treatment for newborns and young infants has received approval from Swiss health regulators, with eight African countries poised to roll the drug out rapidly, pharmaceutical giant Novartis said Tuesday.

There's a clear downside to the Norwegian policy that encourages allowing elderly people to live at home for as long as possible. Caring for the aging population has been left to worn-out family members.

In a discovery that could reshape approaches to regenerative medicine and bone repair, researchers have found that human stem cells can be prompted to begin turning into bone cells simply by squeezing through narrow spaces.

Almost 1 in 10 workers in their 30s uses alcohol, marijuana or hard drugs like cocaine while on the job in the United States, a new study has found.
