Study identifies major causes of fatigue among disaster responders

Real time data collected during the 2024 Noto Peninsula earthquake response show that unclear tasks and command structures, and lack of meal- and rest breaks increased self-reported fatigue among disaster responders.

New genetic roadmap offers targeted treatment for rare inflammatory disorder

Not all broken genes fail in the same way: some simply stop working, while others interfere with what still works.

Researchers discover unexpected cellular triggers for precancerous pancreas lesions

In an unexpected finding, a new study flips on its head researchers' understanding of how precancerous pancreas lesions evolve into pancreatic cancer.

Scientists discover how vitamin K pathway regulates bone remodeling

Bone is continuously renewed through a process known as bone remodeling, in which osteoblasts (bone-forming cells) build new bone, while osteoclasts (bone-resorbing cells) remove older mineralized tissue.

Phase two clinical trial demonstrates dramatic mobility gains in children with severe fibrous dysplasia

Fibrous dysplasia is a rare skeletal disorder in which normal bone is gradually replaced by weak fibro-osseous tissue, leading to fractures, pain, deformities, and severe mobility impairment. In many patients, diseased bone tissue produces excessive amounts of fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF23), a hormone that causes phosphate loss through the kidneys.

Small T-cell subset drives powerful multiple myeloma immunotherapy responses

Researchers from The University of Osaka find that only a small fraction of T cells may drive the robust anti-cancer response seen in breakthrough multiple myeloma immunotherapy.

Mid-career surgeons show highest likelihood of leaving clinical practice

Surgeons are an integral part of the health care system, supplying critical and urgent care in nearly every field of medicine.

Smoking cessation may reduce dementia risk for people who avoid major weight gain

Quitting smoking may be associated with a lowered risk of dementia, especially for people who avoid major weight gain after quitting, according to a study published May 20, 2026, in Neurology, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.

Migraine with aura linked to higher ischemic stroke risk in middle-aged and older adults

Migraine with aura was associated with an increased risk of ischemic stroke in middle-aged and older people, according to a study published May 20, 2026, in Neurology Open Access, an official journal of the American Academy of Neurology.

Recent advancements in the development of models to study primary sclerosing cholangitis

Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a rare non-communicable disorder that affects the liver. Chronic inflammation in and around the bile duct is followed by the development of fibrotic obstructions within the duct, causing bile to accumulate within the liver.

ChatCPR system shows promise for improving emergency cardiac arrest response

A new study from scientists at the University of California San Diego in collaboration with the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, Johns Hopkins University, and other institutions, demonstrates that an artificial intelligence-powered CPR coaching agent can outperform 911 dispatchers in guiding bystanders through cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

Gut microbiome metabolite butyrate relieves chronic jaw joint pain

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain is associated with disrupted gut microbiome metabolites. Researchers reveal that butyrate, administered as tributyrin, alleviates pain by restoring histone acetylation and reversing gene regulatory changes in the brain.

Stent-assisted coiling and flow diverters effectively treat rare basilar artery cases

Basilar trunk artery aneurysms (BTAs) are among the rarest and most complex types of brain aneurysms, occurring in a critical vessel that supplies blood to the brainstem. Because of their location and low incidence, there has been limited research guiding how best to treat them, leaving neurosurgeons with few large datasets to inform clinical decisions.

New non invasive way to diagnose childhood epilepsy through blood sugar patterns

A study published in Engineering has demonstrated that the N-glycome of serum-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) can serve as a non-invasive biosignature for the diagnosis and classification of childhood epilepsy, offering a new tool for precision and longitudinal monitoring in clinical settings.
