Personalized cancer therapy significantly enhances treatment success
Researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine have led the first clinical trial in the world to show that cancer drug treatments can be safely and effectively personalized based on the unique DNA of a patient's tumor.
School-based HPV vaccination protects even unvaccinated women
High HPV vaccination rates in Swedish schools significantly lower cervical cancer lesion rates, highlighting the importance of universal immunization programs.
Perfectionism and competitive sports practice associated with risk of exercise addiction
Physical exercise is one of the main recommendations for maintaining good health. However, when practiced compulsively and without control, it can become a problem: exercise addiction.
ALS breakthrough: Restoring protein production in motor neuron axons
Researchers at VIB and KU Leuven have identified a molecular process that allows motor neurons to maintain protein production, a process that fails in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
Metabolic BMI reveals hidden health risks in normal weight individuals
People of normal weight may also be at risk of diabetes and similar diseases. A study from the University of Gothenburg reveals that those with an unexpectedly high so-called metabolic BMI have up to a five times higher risk level.
Male endurance athletes aged over 50 may be at greater risk of serious heart problems
Veteran male athletes who have spent years training at high intensity may be at greater risk of serious heart problems while exercising, new University of Leeds research shows.
Heavy coffee drinking may weaken bone density in older women
Researchers investigate the longitudinal associations of coffee and tea consumption with bone mineral density in older women.
Chronic back pain predicts poor sleep in older men
Researchers investigate the prevalence of back pain and sleep issues in men 65 years of age and older.
How pandemic viruses spread across U.S. cities before anyone notices
Researchers reconstruct the spatial spread of pandemic respiratory viruses across metropolitan areas throughout the United States
Struggling to make ends meet may slow brain development in infants
Researchers identify specific psychosocial factors that strongly correlate with altered brain development within the first year of life.
Study uncovers a neural brake that limits motivation during unpleasant situations
Most of us know the feeling: maybe it is making a difficult phone call, starting a report you fear will be criticized, or preparing a presentation that's stressful just to think about.
One Health action needed as environmental reservoirs fuel drug-resistant infections
Environmental antimicrobial resistance is turning rivers, soils, and even the air into hidden highways for "superbugs," according to a new review that calls for urgent, coordinated action across human, animal, and environmental health.
Online shopping and social media use linked to higher stress levels
Planning to save time by doing your shopping online? If so, it's possible you're not doing your well-being any favors.
Well-meaning ally interventions may increase emotional burden for marginalized workers
Someone in the office makes a racially insensitive comment, and a white co-worker asks a Black colleague to help correct the offender.
Study reveals how tuberculosis exploits immune defenses to promote infection
Scientists have made a discovery that helps explain why humans and animals are so susceptible to contracting tuberculosis(TB) – and it involves the bacteria harnessing part of the immune system meant to protect against infection.
Scientists identify a molecular switch that controls water flow in the gut
Although constipation and diarrhea may seem like opposite problems, they both hinge on the same underlying issue: how much fluid moves into the gut. These common issues affect millions of people in the U.S. each year, yet scientists have not fully understood what regulates intestinal fluid balance.
Leisure crafting through hobbies can boost creativity and meaning at work
As millions of us embark on New Year pledges to eat better, exercise more and learn something new, research published today suggests hobbies could do more than improve your personal life, they could make you better at work.
Brain signals shape facial expressions before movement begins
Every time we smile, grimace, or flash a quick look of surprise, it feels effortless, but the brain is quietly coordinating an intricate performance.
Weight loss drugs and surgery improve body composition in patients with obesity
Both the new weight loss drugs and bariatric (weight loss) surgery improve body composition in patients with obesity by inducing a moderate loss of fat-free mass (including lean muscle) along with a substantial reduction in fat, researchers at Vanderbilt Health have found.
Study provides insights into well-visit attendance from mid-adolescence to young adulthood
It's common that as kids get to high school and transition to adulthood, they begin to skip yearly wellness visits with a pediatrician or other primary care provider.
