New poll finds older adults rarely discuss driving safety with healthcare providers

When today's older adults learned to drive, they might have heard the Beatles' "Drive My Car" or Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run" on their car radio's Top 40 station.

Study finds rising sex toy use and masturbation among older women

Although research on sexuality in older adults has been growing in recent years, most of the studies are focused on partnered sexual activity and not on solo sexual behavior, including masturbation or the use of sex toys.

Fame may shorten singers’ lives beyond occupational hazards

Fame itself may be a critical factor in shortening singers' lives beyond the hazards of the job-at least those in the UK/Europe and North America-suggests research published online in the Journal of Epidemiology & Community Health.

Freezing cells for success: DMSO-free redefining the future of cryopreservation

Cryopreservation plays a crucial role in cell biology research, bioprocessing, and biomanufacturing. Traditionally, DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) has been the cryoprotectant of choice for preserving cells.

African statisticians provide new insights into malaria prevention

University of the Witwatersrand - Edson Mwebesa, Fellow at the Wits-based Sub-Saharan Africa Advanced Consortium for Biostatistics (SSACAB), knows children who died from late-diagnosed malaria. His research has also revealed that malaria is more prevalent in pregnant Ugandan women than in any other population.

Dysfunctional breathing is common and influenced by tobacco use and respiratory conditions

Dysfunctional breathing (DB) is frequently misdiagnosed or insufficiently treated, leading to a diminished quality of life and unnecessary medical intervention.

Nontraditional benefits influence retention of younger government health employees

Younger workers in governmental public health place significantly higher value on nontraditional benefits than their older counterparts, according to a new study from Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health.

Poor lung gas exchange may help explain lingering brain symptoms in Long COVID

This study found that people with Long COVID more than two years after infection showed normal lung tests and brain structure, yet reported significant sleep and cognitive symptoms. Subtle correlations revealed that poorer lung gas exchange was linked with higher brain perfusion, worse sleep, and weaker executive function, suggesting a possible lung–brain connection.

Moderate coffee intake linked to slower biological aging in people with severe mental illness

Drinking a maximum of 3-4 cups of coffee a day may slow the 'biological' ageing of people with severe mental illness, by lengthening their telomeres-indicators of cellular ageing-and giving them the equivalent of 5 extra biological years, compared with non-coffee drinkers, finds research published in the open access journal BMJ Mental Health.

Blocking immune cell signals reduces scar tissue formation in wounds

Researchers at the University of Arizona uncovered a previously unknown population of circulating immune cells that play a critical role in fibrosis, the buildup of scar tissue that can lead to organ failure and disfigurement.

'Myeloid mimicry' identified as driver of immunotherapy resistance in renal medullary carcinoma

Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have found that renal medullary carcinoma (RMC) cells use an adaptive mechanism called "myeloid mimicry" to hide from the immune system and promote disease hyper progression after immunotherapy, highlighting specific targets that overcome treatment resistance in preclinical models.

Obesity-related metabolic stress may affect brain health far earlier than expected

For decades, scientists have known that what harms the body often harms the brain. Conditions such as obesity, high blood pressure and insulin resistance strain the body's vascular and metabolic systems.

Shorter hormone therapy may be enough for many men with prostate cancer

A study co-led by investigators at the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center found that most of the benefits of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for prostate cancer occur within the first 9 to 12 months.

Global data show why gut microbiomes in industrialized regions look increasingly alike

Researchers studying more than 1 000 adults across 12 countries found that industrialization is one of the strongest forces reshaping the human gut microbiome, reducing diversity and stability. Industrialized and urban populations also showed higher immune and gut stress markers, suggesting physiological consequences of these altered microbial communities.

Early treatment after head injury lowers long-term risk of Alzheimer’s disease

Getting treatment within one week of a serious head injury can reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease by up to 41%, according to new research from Case Western Reserve University.

Retrospective analysis shows mortality rates and risk factors after prosthetic heart valve surgeries

Mechanical valve replacement is a primary treatment for rheumatic heart disease, yet prosthesis-related adverse outcomes remain underreported in India.

White matter alterations connect coronary artery disease to cognitive decline

Individuals with coronary artery disease (CAD) - a constricting or blocking of blood vessels feeding the heart - face increased risks of strokes, cognitive impairment and dementia. However, the link between CAD and cognitive function is not fully understood.
