People in rural communities have long experienced disproportionate levels of chronic disease, driven in part by systemic barriers to physical activity. A new study from North Carolina State University highlights ways some rural communities use strategic investments and community

Researchers from Skoltech—a VEB.RF group institution—and their colleagues at the Institute of Cytology and Genetics of SB RAS and other medical science centers in Russia have managed to modulate the breathing and heart rate of a mouse by wirelessly stimulating its vagus nerve. Th

Drug-induced deaths and hospitalizations in Australia have risen, with the trend driven by increased harms from amphetamine-type stimulants and cocaine, new data show. The latest annual reporting by the National Drug and Alcohol Research Center (NDARC) at UNSW Sydney shows more t

As the use of GLP-1 and other incretin-based medications for obesity continues to grow worldwide, researchers at Marshall University have contributed to an international effort to address one of medicine's most pressing unanswered questions: How should these medications be used b

For decades, pulse oximeters have been among medicine's most familiar instruments. Clip one onto a finger, and within seconds it reports how much oxygen is in your blood, a vital indicator of health.

If you're a Black, 34-year-old South African woman living with HIV, antiretroviral (ARV) treatment options have likely been limited to tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF), lamivudine (3TC) and the "gold standard," dolutegravir (DTG). Now, another once-daily, three-drug regimen ha

The encouraging results of the world's first trial of a fridge-free tetanus-diphtheria vaccine could improve access worldwide to crucial treatments while reducing carbon emissions. Fridge-free vaccines have the potential to transform vaccine delivery by reducing dependence on ref

Wildfires are well-known health risks. Now, in a new Frontiers in Environmental Health study, researchers in the U.S. have—for the first time—evaluated how prenatal PM2.5 exposure has changed over space and time on a national scale and what role wildfires play in shaping these tr

In 1970, ketamine was approved as an anesthetic. It works by blocking receptors in the brain. Suicidal tendencies are among the dangers that accompany severe depression. Doctors have found that a low dose of ketamine, much lower than what is used for anesthesia, can quickly ease

As temperatures on Earth continue to rise, some researchers have been trying to understand how climate change influences people's physical and mental health. Some past studies have found an association between warmer weather and the incidence of suicide and homicide. However, onl
