How does a pregnant person's environment, diet, stress, medications and social wellbeing affect their pregnancy and -; down the road -; their child's health?

A groundbreaking study published in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine provides new insights into the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and its associated health impacts.

Study evaluated the impact of daily coffee extract supplementation on cognitive function over two years in older adults, finding no significant improvement in global or domain-specific cognitive function compared to a placebo, but suggestive benefits in those with poorer baseline diet quality.

Millions of children in under-resourced parts of the world suffer from malnutrition and, consequently, stunted growth.

We have two copies of each chromosome in every cell in our bodies except in our reproductive cells. Sperm and egg cells contain a single copy of each chromosome with a unique mix of genes from our parents, an evolutionary trick to give our offspring genetic variability.

Weill Cornell Medicine researchers received a $2.4 million grant from the U.S. Department of Defense Breast Cancer Research Program to validate a new blood test for the early detection of breast cancer.

Study reveals that retinotopic coding in the brain cortex plays a crucial role in processing visual information from the retina, influencing both perception and memory systems.

Study compares the effects of feeding extremely preterm infants with human milk fortified with either human milk-based fortifier (HMBF) or cow's milk-based fortifier (BMBF), finding no significant difference in the incidence of necrotizing enterocolitis, sepsis, or death.

An atomic-level investigation of how Eastern equine encephalitis virus binds to a key receptor and gets inside of cells also has enabled the discovery of a decoy molecule that protects against the potentially deadly brain infection, in mice.

A new research paper was published in Aging (listed by MEDLINE/PubMed as "Aging (Albany NY)" and "Aging-US" by Web of Science) Volume 15, Issue 24, entitled, "Mapping of the gene network that regulates glycan clock of ageing."

A two-step screening protocol that combines clinical risk assessment with biomarker testing can more effectively identify which patients with Type 2 diabetes need medication to prevent heart failure, according to a study led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers.

Preeclampsia and other hypertensive disorders of pregnancy-;which are characterized by high blood pressure with or without organ dysfunction during the second half of pregnancy-;carry considerable short- and long-term risks for both the mother and child. Treatment options (other than expedited delivery) remain limited.

A new study from researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus finds that older adult drivers who are recently diagnosed with migraines are three times as likely to experience a motor vehicle crash.

A type of immune cell can help predict which patients may benefit most from cancer immunotherapies, researchers from King's College London, Guy's and St Thomas' Hospital Trust, and the Francis Crick Institute have found.

Yale researchers have identified a drug target that may alleviate joint degeneration associated with osteoarthritis, a debilitating condition that afflicts as many as 30 million people in the United States alone, which they report on Jan. 3 in the journal Nature.

Researchers at the Del Monte Institute for Neuroscience at the University of Rochester find that microglia-;the brain's immune cells-;can trigger cognitive deficits after radiation exposure and may be a key target for preventing these symptoms.

Cleveland Clinic and the University of Western Ontario have been awarded a $4.9 million grant from Helmsley Charitable Trust to build a consortium to develop clinical trial outcome tools for patients with Crohn's disease and permanent ileostomy.

A beta blocker typically used to treat heart problems, hemangioma, migraines and anxiety could be a new therapeutic for patients with sickle cell disease. Researchers led by Ankit A. Desai, MD, associate professor of medicine at the Krannert Cardiovascular Research Center (KCVRC) at Indiana University School of Medicine, have been awarded a $3 million grant by the U.S. Department of Defense to evaluate the efficacy of this drug.

A team of Virginia Tech researchers was awarded nearly $2 million from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Disease, part of the National Institutes of Health, to explore novel approaches for treating Type 2 diabetes and obesity.

Consider the cornea if you will – and most people won't unless they're having a problem. It is the transparent front surface of the eye which allows vision by focusing light as it enters.
