Flooding from Hurricane Sandy raises heart disease risk years later
Although the material damage from 2012's Hurricane Sandy may have been repaired, the storm left a lasting impact on cardiovascular health, according to new findings from Weill Cornell Medicine and New York University researchers.
Researchers uncover a promising new therapeutic target for Barth syndrome
Researchers at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) have uncovered a promising new therapeutic target for Barth syndrome, a rare genetic condition with no current cure.
Chronic stress and fatty diet disrupt brain-liver circuit leading to diabetes
This study discovered a circuit in the brain that connects stress with increased glucose and therefore may link stress to type 2 diabetes. In stressful situations, this circuit from the amygdala to the liver naturally provides a burst of energy.
