A new study from the Canadian Study of Adolescent Behaviors reveals that adolescents and young adults who use pre-workout dietary supplements, such as Bang!, Jack3D, and C4, are significantly more likely to report dangerously short sleep durations.

Clinicians may fail to recognize common side effects of drugs like gabapentin - which are frequently prescribed for nerve pain - leading them to prescribe unnecessary medications that cause yet more side effects.

Children in Guatemala who received a common vaccine that helps prevent pneumonia were less likely to carry antibiotic-resistant bacteria, according to a new study led by Washington State University researchers.

A new analysis of research into the most common type of breast cancer has zeroed in on an overlooked hormone that may be responsible for the increased risk of breast cancer death in post-menopausal women with obesity.

A research team led by the Medical University of Vienna has gained new insights into how ticks influence the human immune system in order to introduce pathogens.

One of the hallmarks of cancer cells is their ability to evade apoptosis, or programmed cell death, through changes in protein expression.

Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a common neurological sleep disorder characterized by an uncontrollable urge to move the legs, often worsening at night.

Researchers have conducted the first study evaluating the impact of obesity on Alzheimer's disease blood biomarkers (BBMs).

A new study analyzing dozens of published papers over five decades focusing on health care disparities in Washington, DC, found that those that employed medical humanities approaches identified crucial barriers and opportunities for intervention that quantitative studies often miss.

People who persistently carry Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) in their nose have fewer species of other bacteria, while certain bacteria may help to prevent S. aureus colonisation.

A Curtin University-led study has found that where Australians live has a measurable influence on their body weight, with local food environments and neighbourhood design playing a big part in shaping health outcomes.

Scientists at the Swiss Light Source SLS have succeeded in mapping a piece of brain tissue in 3D at unprecedented resolution using X-rays, non-destructively. The breakthrough overcomes a long-standing technological barrier that had limited the use of X-rays for such studies.

Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a chronic, progressive inflammatory disease characterized by fibrosis and bile duct stricturing, which ultimately leads to cirrhosis and liver failure. PSC is strongly associated with both types of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), namely, ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease.

Microbiomes, the communities of microorganisms that live in and around us, play a vital role in everything from human health to soil fertility and climate regulation. But studying these tiny life forms, especially outside the human body, presents a major challenge: how do scientists share complex data across such a wide range of environments and disciplines?

Researchers at the University of Oulu, Finland, have identified significant differences in mortality among widows and widowers from cohabiting versus married relationships, depending on the deceased partner's cause of death. Accidental death increases the surviving partner's mortality risk more than death from illness. Mortality rises particularly sharply among those who had been living in cohabitation.

Atelerix, a biotech company revolutionizing cell preservation and biological transport with its pioneering hydrogel encapsulation technology, today announced an agreement with Labskin, a global leader in laboratory-grown human skin models used for research, testing and product development.

Victims of intimate partner violence with suicidal behavior have characteristic injury patterns on medical imaging, according to a new study being presented today at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA).

Researchers at örebro University in Sweden have made a significant advance in understanding the intestinal condition IBS.

After a spinal cord injury, cells in the brain and spinal cord change to cope with stress and repair tissue. A new study from Karolinska Institutet, published in Nature Neuroscience, shows that this response is controlled by specific DNA sequences.

A new study conducted by scientists at Åbo Akademi University, Finland, shows that sexual minority individuals continue to report higher levels of mental health symptoms compared to the rest of the population.
