Study finds no safety or efficacy gap between paracetamol and ibuprofen for neonatal PDA
In a UK pilot randomized trial, intravenous paracetamol and ibuprofen showed no statistically significant differences in short-term efficacy or safety when used as rescue therapy for hemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus in very preterm infants. The study demonstrated high feasibility but was not powered to determine clinical superiority or equivalence between treatments.
Childhood ADHD traits linked to poorer physical health in midlife
People who have ADHD traits at age 10 are more likely than those without such traits to have physical health problems and to report physical health-related disability at age 46, according to a study led by University College London (UCL) and University of Liverpool researchers.
NuSHs can be a promising therapeutic strategy for preventing MASH-related hepatocellular carcinoma
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and its progressive form, metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), represent the most common chronic liver diseases in Western populations, driven largely by obesity and insulin resistance.
Peer-supported clinic visits strengthen reproductive choices in rural India
Despite improvements in economic and social empowerment, women in many countries still have little control over their own fertility and reproductive health.
Serum uric acid levels linked to atrial fibrillation burden
Announcing a new article publication for Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications journal. This study investigated the association between serum uric acid (UA) levels and atrial fibrillation (AF) burden in Chinese patients with AF.
New review explores how stress uniquely affects children
Most research on the health effects of stress focuses on adults, but a new review looks at how stress uniquely affects children.
Gambling disorder alters the brain's control and reward systems
A new doctoral dissertation shows that gambling disorder is linked to brain networks involved in self-control and brain reward functions.
TGM2 as a novel biomarker for acute myocardial infarction and prognosis in acute coronary syndrome
Announcing a new article publication for Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications journal. Transglutaminase 2 (TGM2) has been implicated in various health conditions, yet its role in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) remains poorly characterized in clinical settings.
Exercise-triggered mitochondrial transfer offers hope for stroke and dementia
Physical rehabilitation and symptom management still remain the mainstay of treatment for stroke, as clot removal or dissolution is effective only within a narrow time frame after the stroke.
The neuroscience of motivation-driven memory retention
Researchers from the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore (NUS Medicine), and Duke University have proposed a neuroscience framework explaining how different types of motivation fundamentally reshape what and how the brain remembers.
Mitotane’s role in the management of adrenocortical carcinoma
Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare but aggressive malignancy with high postoperative recurrence rates and poor prognosis. Mitotane remains the only approved agent for ACC, exerting antitumor effects by disrupting mitochondrial integrity, inhibiting steroidogenic enzymes, and interfering with cholesterol metabolism.
Analyzing bacterial enzymes in pikromycin synthesis
Macrolides are an important class of antibiotics that includes drugs such as azithromycin and erythromycin, which are widely used to treat a range of infections, including pneumonia and skin infections.
A dual-action approach to preventing hepatocellular carcinoma
Hepatocellular carcinoma is one of the leading causes of cancer-related death worldwide, largely due to its high rate of recurrence after surgery. Even after complete tumor removal, microscopic residual disease and early dissemination frequently lead to relapse within the first two years.
Tracing the decline in American heart disease mortality
Following a five-year upward trend likely impacted by the COVID pandemic, the number of heart disease and stroke deaths has declined, yet, heart disease and stroke still kill more people in the U.S. each year than any other cause, according to data reported in the 2026 Heart Disease and Stroke Statistics: A Report of U.S. and Global Data From the American Heart Association.
Cannabis legalization drives rising use among adults with historically lower consumption
A new study led by Boston College School of Social Work Professor Summer Sherburne Hawkins found that recreational cannabis legalization in the United States is driving increases in cannabis use among adults with historically lower consumption, as opposed to increasing use among those who already consumed cannabis.
Mouse study reveals social hierarchy influences sleep quality during isolation
Researchers tested what factors improve or worsen the quality of sleep in mice. A team including researchers from the University of Tokyo placed mice in two environments, one where they could see and sense other mice without physical contact, and one in complete isolation.
Arthritis significantly restricts employment for millions of American adults
According to new research from the University of Delaware, nearly 40% of American adults ages 18 to 64 with arthritis - almost 10 million people - say the medical condition is limiting their ability to work.
Suppressing brain immune cells enhances memory recall in young mice
Babies of every species from mouse to human rapidly forget things that happen to them-an effect called infantile amnesia.
Machine learning enables prosthetic hands to control grip for daily tasks
Holding an egg requires a gentle touch. Squeeze too hard, and you'll make a mess. Opening a water bottle, on the other hand, needs a little more grip strength.
Weill Cornell Medicine receives ARPA-H award to advance lymphatic disease diagnosis
Weill Cornell Medicine has received a $5.2 million, initial two-year award from the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) Lymphatic Imaging, Genomics, and pHenotyping Technologies (LIGHT) program to develop a comprehensive and innovative approach to diagnosing lymphatic disease.
