Women in perimenopause report more anxiety than other menopausal groups

Researchers reviewed 21 studies involving 24,523 women and found that perimenopausal and postmenopausal women had higher odds of reporting anxiety symptoms than premenopausal women. Their meta-analysis of 15 studies found the highest odds during perimenopause, but the cross-sectional evidence cannot establish that menopause causes anxiety.

Doctors explain why breast cancer screening should start at age 40

Advances in breast cancer screening and treatment are helping doctors detect the disease earlier, tailor therapies to individual patients and, in some cases, spare women from unnecessary chemotherapy, radiation and surgery.

Nephrologist shortages linked to higher kidney disease mortality along US-Mexico borde

New research indicates that US-Mexico border counties experience disproportionately elevated rates of death from chronic kidney disease (CKD), alongside reduced availability of nephrologists. The findings will be presented at ASN Kidney Week 2026 October 22–25.

PARP1 remodels nucleosomes to help cells repair damaged DNA

When DNA is damaged, cellular processes respond and repair the DNA. Inhibiting DNA damage repair can be therapeutically beneficial in cancers with genetic vulnerabilities related to DNA damage response.

Better engineering of hospital handbasins could prevent superbug outbreaks

Handbasins help prevent infections in hospitals but new research from Flinders University warns that contaminated basins in healthcare might put patients at risk and have implications in outbreaks of superbugs.

Dual-targeted therapy shows promise against metastatic triple-negative breast cancer

A new preclinical study suggests that attacking triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) in two ways at once can kill cancer cells, slow tumor growth and limit the cancer's spread. Researchers at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC – James) developed the approach.

Social determinants of health may increase kidney failure risk after critical illness

New research indicates that certain individual- and neighborhood-level social determinants of health may increase the risk of developing post-discharge kidney failure in patients who developed acute kidney injury while in intensive care.

Scientists studied one million immune cells and found clues to future disease risk

Researchers developed a single-cell atlas of one million human neutrophils, identifying distinct immune cell populations and gene-expression patterns across tissues, infections, cancer, and other health conditions. Certain neutrophil signatures were associated with metabolic dysfunction, cancer outcomes, and mortality, while higher routine neutrophil counts, even within the normal range, were linked to an increased risk of chronic disease.

Clinical trial establishes effective HIV dosing regimen for full-term newborns

An international study conducted through the International Maternal Pediatric Adolescent AIDS Clinical Trials (IMPAACT) Network including researchers at the University of California San Diego helped inform the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) recent approval of dolutegravir, a second-generation integrase inhibitor, for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) in newborns from birth.

Unstable immune cells linked to severe cancer immunotherapy side effects

Scientists at the University of Pittsburgh uncovered the unstable immune cells that can cause up to 40% of immunotherapy patients to experience serious side effects and showed that diet and microbiome composition influence the side effect's severity.
