Scientists have discovered 22 circulating metabolites that correlate with high intake of ultra-processed foods, providing biological evidence of metabolic distress.
Health officials are monitoring an outbreak of the intestinal parasite Cyclospora cayetanensis across 31 states. Investigators have not yet identified a specific source for the surge in cases.
Researchers are validating urine-based liquid biopsy as a patient-friendly alternative to surgical tissue exams for detecting bladder, prostate, and kidney cancers.
Scientific findings suggest a link between oral bacteria and cardiovascular conditions like heart valve calcification and atrial fibrillation. The research indicates that bacteria can relocate to heart tissue, challenging the traditional separation between dental and cardiac care.
Scientists at the Shenyang Institute of Automation have created a microneedle patch for real-time dopamine monitoring, highlighting the distinction between clinical technology and unregulated wellness products.
Studies in mice reveal that ovarian decline involves a progressive loss of tissue-level coordination and inflammation. Researchers are now investigating these processes to better understand female metabolic and cardiovascular health.
Patients with end-stage renal disease are advocating for integrated cardiovascular care, citing a gap between their clinical needs and healthcare information.
The heads of Africa CDC and the WHO are conducting a joint mission to the Democratic Republic of the Congo to coordinate efforts against a spreading Ebola outbreak.
New York City health authorities identified 31 buildings with cooling towers testing positive for Legionella during an investigation into a disease cluster. The Guggenheim Museum has completed mandatory disinfection and remains open.
A study from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai reveals that the loss of rural and freestanding radiation oncology sites is creating dangerous gaps in care. While national clinic tallies remain steady, these localized closures disproportionately affect underserved populations.
A study in PLOS Biology reveals that the auditory cortex plays a causal role in interval-based timing by communicating with the posterior striatum. This discovery shifts our understanding of how sensory input is converted into precisely timed motor actions.
Dr. Peter Stafford has been evacuated to Germany after contracting the Ebola virus while working for a humanitarian organization in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The CDC has responded by implementing enhanced screening and travel restrictions for the region.
Health officials warn that the current Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo is likely much larger than official reports suggest due to widespread undetected community transmission.
Dr. Peter Stafford was evacuated to Berlin for specialized treatment following an Ebola diagnosis in the DRC. The CDC has responded by implementing new travel restrictions to prevent the spread of the virus.
Recent studies confirm that mosquito attraction is driven by a complex interplay of biology, environment, and genetics, including CO2 and skin compounds.
Extensor tendon injuries require a precise balance of surgical intervention and rehabilitative timing to prevent adhesions and restore range of motion.
Neurological research suggests that specific anti-inflammatory and antioxidant-rich foods can support brain function and mitigate cognitive decline. Experts are also investigating how dopamine system damage contributes to long COVID symptoms.
Researchers found that combining daily probiotic yogurt, dietary counseling, and walking can slow the rate of biological aging independently of weight loss.
The Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo is expanding rapidly, with health experts reporting significant undetected community transmission.
The Pakistani government has introduced stricter public health mandates, including a comprehensive syringe ban and new border screening protocols, to address the challenge of HIV transmission.
