A new analysis of a group of all-women extreme divers off the coast of Korea has uncovered genetic differences that could help them survive the intense physiological stresses of free-diving鈥攁nd could ultimately lead to better treatments for blood pressure disorders.
The open-source software toolkit aims to predict whether individuals will develop progressive and chronic diseases years before symptoms appear. It can identify at-risk individuals with an accuracy of 85-99% and explain its outputs in ways that humans can understand.
New modeling research challenges public health guidelines that recommend conservative antibiotic use for cholera. In some cases, prescribing antibiotics more broadly could slow or stop outbreaks and even reduce the risk of antibiotic resistance.
A team of researchers has used advanced DNA sequencing to develop the most comprehensive atlas yet of genetic change through generations, laying the foundations for new insights into the roots of human disease and evolution.
One in ten people will have a seizure in their life, but treatments remain limited, in part due to incomplete understanding of the brain mechanisms involved. Now, research in fruit flies has uncovered a role for two specific brain proteins that are necessary during brain development to prevent seizures.
Research in the Sundquist lab laid the foundations for the development of lenacapavir, a drug that prevents HIV infection with 99.9% to 100% efficacy and could dramatically lower infection rates worldwide.
C. difficile is one of the most common and contagious hospital-acquired infections. Research has found that C. diff spreads more than three times more than previously thought and can remain undetected on surfaces for weeks until it infects a patient.
Knowing how to spot trustworthy health information can help you make informed choices about your own health and the health of those around you鈥攁nd avoid the real risks of taking health fiction as fact. We asked communication researchers how to assess whether a piece of health information is the real deal.
COVID infection has been linked to higher risk of autoimmune disorders, including rheumatoid arthritis and type 1 diabetes. Scientists used advanced data analysis and machine learning to identify viral proteins that are more likely to trigger autoimmunity.
Gut microbes shape pancreas development in infancy, leading to long-term changes in diabetes risk, new research in mice has found. The results could ultimately help doctors reduce the risk of type 1 diabetes鈥攐r potentially even restore lost pancreatic function in adulthood鈥攚ith microbes that help the pancreas heal.
Much remains unknown about the risks and benefits of medical cannabis, and as use rates spike, research is urgently needed to understand the full health, social, and even environmental impacts of these medications.
The potentially protective gene, CNTN2, is altered in asymptomatic family members of people with the seizure disorder. Similar genetic alterations decrease seizure severity in fruit flies with the disorder.
Through a combination of anesthesiology, veterinary science, and advanced imaging, the team identified the cause of the sea lion鈥檚 reduced activity as advanced spinal disease and determined an appropriate treatment to alleviate his symptoms.
The study identified specific neurotransmitters and brain cells that are involved in alcohol-induced insomnia. This work could ultimately lead to targeted treatments for alcohol-related sleep loss, helping people recover from alcohol use disorder.
The introduction of two da Vinci 5 systems enhances surgery precision and safety, decreasing recovery times for patients. This innovative technology strengthens Huntsman Cancer Institute鈥檚 role as a leader in robotic surgical care.
The analysis of almost 10,000 pregnancies has discovered previously unidentified combinations of risk factors linked to serious negative pregnancy outcomes, finding that there may be up to a tenfold difference in risk for infants who are currently treated identically under clinical guidelines.
A new study published in the Journal of General Internal Medicine reveals that infection with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, significantly increases the rate of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) among COVID-19 survivors.
Vaping is often marketed as a healthier alternative to smoking or a tool to quit smoking. But it鈥檚 not a safe habit鈥攖he health effects of vaping can be irreversible and sometimes deadly. Research is revealing an increasing number of health risks, including permanent damage to your teeth and gums.
