Exercise beats yoga for improving heart and blood vessel health
Researchers compare the effects of physical exercise and yoga on cardiovascular function.
Study links brain waves to misremembering of negative, irrelevant information
A good night's sleep has long been understood to help us consolidate new memories, but we don't understand how. Associations with negative feelings like fear or stress can improve recall, but intentionally trying to remember can also be effective. But these two mechanisms are very different - one involuntary, one deliberate.
AI must optimize home care, continuity, and early detection for older adults
HealthFORCE, a national alliance of leaders dedicated to addressing the root causes of America's healthcare workforce crisis, along with the American Academy of Physician Associates (AAPA) and West Health, today released "Aging Well with AI: Empowering Care through Innovation," the first in a two-part white paper series exploring how artificial intelligence (AI) can strengthen the U.S. healthcare workforce and improve access to care.
NCCN enhances widely used breast cancer guidelines with advanced digital features
Today, the National Comprehensive Cancer Network® (NCCN®)-a nonprofit responsible for globally utilized guidelines for cancer care-is sharing new NCCN Guidelines Navigator™ resources for breast cancer treatment as well as genetic/familial high-risk assessment, during Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

New experimental methods show selective attention effect is exclusively cortical in humans
Research led by the University of Michigan's Kresge Hearing Research Institute and the University of Rochester illuminates the mechanisms through which humans can pick out and focus on single sounds in noisy environments.
'Good' gut microbe found to support fetal growth and reduce pregnancy risks
Research led by the University of Cambridge has found the first clear evidence that the 'good' gut bacteria Bifidobacterium breve in pregnant mothers regulates the placenta's production of hormones critical for a healthy pregnancy.
Nanotechnology breakthrough reverses Alzheimer’s disease in mice
A research team co-led by the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) and West China Hospital Sichuan University (WCHSU), working with partners in the UK, has demonstrated a nanotechnology strategy that reverses Alzheimer's disease in mice.
Microplastics can alter the human gut microbiome, research shows
New research presented today at UEG Week 2025 shows that microplastics – plastic particles smaller than 5mm commonly found in the environment – can alter the human gut microbiome, with some changes resembling patterns linked to depression and colorectal cancer.
Artificially-sweetened and sugary drinks linked to higher risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
A major new study reveals that both sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) and low- or non-sugar-sweetened beverages (LNSSBs) are significantly associated with a higher risk of developing metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD).
Harnessing AI tools for better treatment of serious mental illnesses
Serious mental illnesses (SMI) take a tremendous toll on individuals, their friends and family, and society as a whole.
Researchers discover how HIV hides in different parts of the body
Researchers at Western University and the University of Calgary have discovered how HIV hides in different parts of the body by embedding itself into the DNA of cells in a tissue-specific manner, offering new insights into why the virus is so difficult to eliminate and cure – even decades after infection and treatment.
UIC studies reveal Rise in lidocaine poisonings despite overall drop in anesthetic deaths
Over the last decade, poisonings and deaths linked to the use of local anesthetics have decreased. Even so, poisonings from one commonly used anesthetic, lidocaine, have increased in the United States, according to two new studies from the University of Illinois Chicago.
Research finds a steady rise in cardiovascular-related complications during pregnancy
Cardiovascular-related health problems may occur in as many as 1 out of every 7 pregnancies, even among people who don't already have heart disease, according to new research published today in the American Heart Association's flagship journal Circulation.
