Cancer poses significant challenges due to the development of resistance and the likelihood of relapse. Resistance may arise from permanent genetic changes in cancer cells or non-genetic alterations in cancer cell behavior induced by treatment.

People with disabilities account for 13% of all pregnancies in Ontario, but a new report shows that this population was more likely to experience pregnancy complications such as emergency department visits, hospitalizations, and preterm birth.

The effects of semaglutide (administered once weekly) on the outcomes of kidney disease.

Rosacea, a common skin condition widely considered to be only a cosmetic issue, could be associated with several comorbidities, including melanomas.

A recent study reveals that longer flights without enforced masking significantly increase the risk of SARS-CoV-2 transmission, while enforced masking on long-haul flights effectively prevents in-flight transmission. The findings underscore the importance of mask enforcement in reducing COVID-19 spread on aircraft.

Researchers identified that heart failure (HF) promotes multimorbidity by altering hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) to produce pro-inflammatory macrophages, increasing vulnerability in multiple organs. The study highlights the role of suppressed TGF-β signaling in these alterations, contributing to chronic inflammation and subsequent health issues.

Study found that heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) is linked to increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in young women, even without irregular menstruation.

A recent randomized controlled trial found that short-term interventions combining enzyme substances and behavioral changes significantly reduced excessive alcohol intake among young adults.

Researchers highlight the need for multidisciplinary collaboration in medicine, especially in addressing transmissible illnesses, precision medicine, and data science, as learned from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Using Mendelian Randomization, researchers found that high sugar intake may lower childhood asthma risk, while high fat, magnesium, and vitamin D intake increase it.

A meta-analysis found that low serum vitamin D levels significantly increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes in older adults, even after adjusting for several confounders.

A meta-analysis of over 730,000 individuals indicates that high broccoli consumption is linked to lower cancer prevalence, though more robust research is needed to confirm its chemopreventive properties.

It’s important to ensure that care provided at US hospitals that predominantly serve Black and Hispanic populations is as high-quality as the care provided at other US hospitals.

A research project based at Heidelberg University and Heidelberg University Hospital targets plastic particles and climate change as driving factors for the spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in the environment.

High-income earners have a 32% lower risk of dying after a stroke compared to low-income earners. The equivalent for high education is 26% lower risk.

Feeding children peanuts regularly from infancy to age five reduced the rate of peanut allergy in adolescence by 71%, even after many years when the children ate or avoided peanut as desired.

Antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) is one of the most common causes of kidney transplant failure. To date, however, no treatment has proven effective in combating this complication in the long term.

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have made a significant breakthrough in Alzheimer's disease research by identifying a novel way to potentially slow down or even halt disease progression.

Our willingness to help others is governed by a specific brain region pinpointed by researchers in a study of patients with brain damage to that region.

A new study demonstrates an advance in treating antibiotic-resistant infections in animals through personalized phage therapy.
