The global landscape of oncology is shifting, and nowhere is this transition more complex or consequential than in China.

A short workout or a nap can help protect memory after a sleepless night, a McGill University-led study has found.

Cancer is the second leading cause of death in Germany. In the search for new therapeutic approaches that target the uncontrolled growth of tumor cells, a class of enzymes known as cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) has come into focus.

Researchers from University of California San Diego and University of California, Berkeley have found that certain landscapes surrounding California communities are associated with differing rates of Valley fever, a fungal respiratory infection caused by inhaling spores carried in windblown dust.

Findings from the 2025 Ontario Student Drug Use and Health Survey (OSDUHS) released today by the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) suggest that Ontario middle and high school students have rebounded from the heightened mental health challenges seen during and immediately following the COVID-19 pandemic.

As people age, many cognitive functions tend to decline. Brain scanning studies have revealed corresponding changes in the function of a brain network that is involved in many of these cognitive functions, including working memory and problem-solving.

In recent years, issues concerning female reproductive health have become a global challenge that cannot be ignored.

Approximately 3 million people in the United States are living with a condition called heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, or HFpEF.

Ankle sprain is the most prevalent sports-related injury affecting the lower limbs, and up to 70% of individuals with ankle sprain experience persistent symptoms, such as sensorimotor impairment and balance deficits, which may ultimately progress to chronic ankle instability (CAI).

Surgery remains the primary curative treatment for gastric cancer, with laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG) established as a standard minimally invasive approach.

Researchers from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's Institute for Global Health and Infectious Diseases, the Ethiopian Public Health Institute (EPHI), Brown University, the University of Notre Dame, and Ethiopia's Ministry of Health have found that malaria parasites carrying genetic markers associated with resistance to frontline antimalarial medicines and commonly used diagnostic tests are becoming increasingly prevalent across Ethiopia.

Type 2 diabetes has traditionally been a disease that has developed mostly in middle-aged and older adults.

Black people in Canada who want to donate blood face barriers to doing so, despite a critical need for specific blood types to treat sickle cell disease, according to new research published in CMAJ.

Research published today in Diabetologia by Amsterdam UMC and the University of Ghana reveals that type 2 diabetes manifests in two fundamentally different ways depending on a patient's body mass index (BMI).

Driven by the potential advantages in bone stock preservation and easier implant removal during revision surgery, the use of cementless short-stem implants in shoulder arthroplasty has increased in recent years.

Low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) bear a disproportionate burden of gynecologic malignancies-cancers of the cervix, endometrium, ovary, vagina, and vulva.

Long‑term outcomes after liver transplantation remain hampered by complications linked to intensive immunosuppression—infections, cardiovascular events, kidney dysfunction, and metabolic disorders affect 10% to 40% of recipients.

Unexpected staff shortages in ambulance services are costing lives, with patients significantly more likely to die within 24 hours when ambulance crews are unexpectedly off sick, according to new research from the University of Surrey and the University of York.

A prespecified analysis of 17,604 SELECT participants found that higher baseline hsCRP was associated with greater risks of major cardiovascular events and death in people with overweight or obesity and established cardiovascular disease. Semaglutide produced rapid and sustained reductions in hsCRP, with changes emerging before substantial weight loss, although the study could not establish whether reduced inflammation directly mediated its cardiovascular benefits.
