Coercive measures are used recurrently in inpatient child and adolescent psychiatric care but vary greatly between services and countries, according to a new doctoral thesis from Karolinska Institutet.

Millions of older adults have tiny brain hemorrhages called cerebral microbleeds, which are strongly associated with dementia, cognitive decline, and stroke.

Researchers at the USC Mark and Mary Stevens Neuroimaging and Informatics Institute (Stevens INI) at the Keck School of Medicine of USC have created one of the largest reference models ever developed for the human brain, using diffusion MRI scans from more than 54,000 people to chart how the brain's communication pathways develop, mature, and decline across the lifespan.

At least a dozen U.S. states are rolling out medically tailored meals in pilot projects through Medicaid, the federal–state health insurance program serving 71 million Americans who qualify based on income or disability status.

Researchers from University College Dublin (UCD) and the ULB Neuroscience Institute have shed light on the brain mechanisms underlying age-related changes in postural control.

A new study to be presented at the SLEEP 2026 annual meeting found that adults who feel older than their chronological age reported worse sleep outcomes, including more insomnia symptoms, greater sleep-related impairment, and lower sleep regularity, with those sleep outcomes in turn associated with poorer self-reported physical health.

A new study to be presented at the SLEEP 2026 annual meeting found that individuals with an evening chronotype, who prefer to go to sleep and wake up at later times, report poorer mental health, higher general loneliness, and higher nocturnal loneliness.

A new study to be presented at the SLEEP 2026 annual meeting found that sleep problems in middle-aged and older adults are tied to lower psychological well-being nine years later.

LotusDx, a medtech company developing at-home diagnostic tests for sexually transmitted infections (STIs), today announced it has established its R&D laboratory at ONE BioHub, located on the Foresterhill Health Campus, in Aberdeen.

Evosep announces the launch of Evosep Proteomics, an ecosystem designed to standardize and scale LC-MS-based proteomics for research and pharmaceutical drug development.

MIT engineers have developed a noninvasive pacemaker that stimulates the heart using ultrasound. The design could one day provide a surgery-free alternative to traditional cardiac implants.

A team led by researcher José Vicente Sánchez Mut at the Institute for Neurosciences (IN), a joint center of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and the Miguel Hernández University of Elche (UMH), together with researcher Johannes Gräff at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), has identified an experimental molecule capable of "reprogramming" the brain's immune cells to restore part of their protective function against Alzheimer's disease.

Findings reveal that the Mediterranean diet may reduce anxiety symptoms in adolescents, with maternal dietary habits also impacting offspring mental health.

The study highlights how shopping behavior reflects menstrual pain prevalence, revealing inequalities in health management across income levels.

Scientists at Johns Hopkins Medicine say they used a form of magnetic imaging to track cell therapy injections commonly used to treat certain autoimmune diseases and cancers.

A research team led by the University of Waterloo has created a new monitoring system to save lives and significantly reduce health-care costs in brain-injury cases through the early detection of infections in intensive care units.

Cell function is determined by how DNA is expressed into proteins. That process includes two main steps - transcription, when messenger RNA (mRNA) makes copies of active genes, and translation, when mRNA guides protein assembly.

This scoping review of 70 studies found that AI is used mainly to detect and measure health-related stigma, rather than to reduce it. Evidence that AI can reduce stigma remains early, limited, and concentrated in mental health conversational-agent studies.

A heart attack is far from being an isolated, acute event. The consequences of an attack can cause serious and lasting damage, including heart failure.

Researchers from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have uncovered the first direct evidence that deep brain stimulation (DBS) can remodel white matter pathways in the brain and alter communication across large-scale neural networks, revealing a previously unrecognized mechanism that may explain how the therapy helps patients recover from severe depression.
