Preventing postoperative rebleeding in intracerebral hemorrhage surgery
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is the stroke subtype with the highest mortality and disability rates, and early hematoma evacuation is crucial for improving prognosis.
Boron neutron capture therapy shows promise for deadly brain tumors
Malignant gliomas are among the deadliest brain cancers, with limited treatment options and poor survival.
Alcohol intake linked to lower micronutrient intake in men with type 2 diabetes
Researchers analyzed 1,565 Japanese outpatients with type 2 diabetes and found that higher alcohol consumption was associated with lower intake of several micronutrients, particularly potassium, calcium, and vitamins A and C, in younger men. The study also linked alcohol intake to a savory dietary pattern rich in rice, meat, fish, and seasonings, highlighting age- and sex-specific nutritional risks.
Protein aggregates in the liver may protect against alcohol-induced damage
Alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD) remains a leading cause of cirrhosis and liver-related mortality worldwide, with few effective therapies.
Daily multivitamin intake linked to slower biological aging in older adults
An analysis led by Mass General Brigham investigators found slower aging in older adults after two years of a daily multivitamin, with greater benefits for those who began the trial with accelerated biological age.
Women face higher liver fibrosis risk from cardiometabolic factors than men
Women with certain cardiometabolic risk factors, including type 2 diabetes and high waist circumference, face a greater increase in risk for liver fibrosis than men with the same risk factors.
Cellular roadmap offers new targets for improving rotator cuff surgical repair
Rotator cuff tears are among the most common and debilitating musculoskeletal injuries, frequently causing chronic pain, reduced shoulder mobility, and a high risk of re-injury even after surgical repair.
American Heart Association ranked as a top trusted health information source
At time when trust in health information is at unprecedented risk, the American Heart Association today welcomed new findings from the independent Annenberg Public Policy Center (APPC) at the University of Pennsylvania suggesting that Americans consider the Association the most trusted source of public health information after their personal physician.
Recreational drugs significantly increase the risk of stroke
The recreational drugs cannabis, cocaine and amphetamines significantly increase the risk of stroke – including among younger users – Cambridge researchers have concluded after analyzing data from more than 100 million people.
Adult stimulant prescriptions more than doubled since the start of the pandemic
New prescriptions for stimulants among adults, largely to treat ADHD, more than doubled since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, especially in younger adults, found new research published in CMAJ.
Spiritual care should be routine for patients with neurological diseases
People living with neurological diseases such as Parkinson's disease, dementia and epilepsy face not only physical decline, but also profound questions about identity, purpose, and meaning.
Taking anticoagulants alongside prostate cancer drugs does not increase bleeding risk
In a study of adults with advanced prostate cancer taking androgen-receptor pathway inhibitors and different types of anticoagulants, investigators found no evidence of an increase in patients' bleeding or clotting risks, despite previous lab results that raised alarms.
Spring fatigue is a cultural rather than biological phenomenon
When the days start to get longer again, Dr Christine Blume's phone rings more often. That's because journalists want to ask the sleep researcher what spring fatigue is all about.
Pregnancy complications increase heart health risks for women with high stress
Women who experience pregnancy complications, like preeclampsia, pre-term birth, stillbirth or having a baby that is small for gestational age, may face an increased risk for cardiovascular disease later in life.
Why people avoid looking at spiders
Study reveals that while people avoid spider images, certain features attract gaze, offering insights into the dynamics of spider phobia and visual attention.
Most weight lost on GLP-1 drugs returns within a year after stopping
The cessation of GLP-1RAs is linked to a 60% weight regain within a year, emphasizing the importance of tailored strategies for effective long-term weight loss.
Brain network predicts how quickly we adapt to social behavior
Humans often adapt their behavior to that of other people with lightning speed. A new study by the University of Zurich reveals what brain networks govern social mentalization and adaptation, making it possible to predict how flexibly one person reacts to others.
FOXJ3 gene identified as the critical link between abnormal brain development and epilepsy
Researchers have discovered that mutations in the FOXJ3 gene act as a "master switch" failure, disrupting how the brain builds its layers and leading to FCD, a primary cause of drug-resistant epilepsy.
Understanding PIEZO2 mutations and sensory disorders
Every time we feel a gentle tap on the skin, specialized nerve cells convert that physical force into an electrical signal that the brain can interpret as touch. While scientists have long known that a protein called PIEZO2 acts as a key sensor for touch, it remained unclear why PIEZO2 is specialized for the localized mechanical forces experienced by sensory neurons, whereas its close relative PIEZO1 responds to broader mechanical stresses such as those generated when cells stretch, as occurs in blood vessels.
Unmasking the hyperactive circuitry of early Alzheimer’s
Neuroscientists at King's College London have pinpointed a mechanism behind the increased neural connectivity observed in the very early stages of Alzheimer's disease.
