A 12-week feasibility trial tested the MIND diet in midlife adults, showing improved diet quality, mood, and physical quality of life but no significant cognitive gains.

In patients experiencing excessive bleeding during cardiac surgery, a concentrated blood product containing proteins that help the blood clot was significantly more effective and caused fewer adverse effects than frozen plasma, the standard therapy, according to a study presented at the American College of Cardiology's Annual Scientific Session (ACC.25).

Patients who have a stent implanted to open a blocked coronary artery face dual risks of developing blood clots and of having excessive bleeding in the months following the procedure.

A new study by researchers at Intermountain Health in Salt Lake City aims to determine the best method to screen and evaluate patients who are at risk of developing coronary heart disease and which patients would benefit from taking a statin medication to lower cholesterol.

At three months of follow-up, patients hospitalized for a serious heart attack who were treated with the oral blood thinner rivaroxaban for a blood clot in the left ventricle did as well as similar patients who received standard treatment with warfarin, an older blood-thinning drug.

Having a coronary artery calcium (CAC) score of zero has generally been accepted as a marker of a very low risk of having a cardiac event within the next five years. However, age is a strong contributor to coronary risk, with risk increasing markedly as people age.

Investigators at Mass General Brigham have uncovered how resistance to chemotherapies may occur in some cancers. Researchers focused on a pathway that harnesses reactive oxygen species (ROS) to kill cancer cells.

Roughly one out of three women ages 14-49 in the United States develop a vaginal bacterial imbalance known as bacterial vaginosis (BV) during their lifetime.

Heart disease remains the leading cause of death in the United States, accounting for one in five deaths.

Fruits and plant extracts contain bioactive compounds that can help treat or prevent diseases. To characterize and understand their mechanism of action, researchers from universities and research institutions in Brazil and Germany have conducted independent but complementary studies.

Critical Path Institute® (C-Path) and Boston Medical Center (BMC) published results for six biomarkers that could improve the early and accurate detection of kidney injury, leading to both the development of safer medications and better health outcomes for all patients.

Meniscus tears are common knee injuries that have long frustrated patients and doctors due to limited repair options.

Ever wondered what happens to your body when you take those trendy ice baths? Scientists at the University of Ottawa just found out, and it's pretty fascinating.

Steroid hormone levels in healthy adults are influenced by oral contraceptives and smoking, as well as other lifestyle choices and factors such as biological sex and age, according to new research that has just been published in leading international journal Science Advances.

In an effort to understand how brain cells exchange chemical messages, scientists say they have successfully used a highly specialized microscope to capture more precise details of how one of the most common signaling molecules, glutamate, opens a channel and allows a flood of charged particles to enter.

Researchers develop innovative phospholipids that improve the functional delivery of mRNA via lipid nanoparticles, paving the way for advanced therapeutic applications.
