A village in the densely populated Philippine capital region launched a battle against dengue Wednesday by offering a token bounty to residents for captured mosquitos—dead or alive.

Keeping kids healthy can be a big job. From the day their children are born, parents ferry them to and from medical offices, getting their immune systems boosted, teeth cleaned, eyes checked and stuffy noses decongested.

Zwitterions sound like a distant cousin of Twitter (X), but in fact they are a common macromolecule found in human cells. Scientists at the University of Sydney are also now using Zwitterions to create materials that could stop blood clots from forming in medical devices and implants.

A study conducted using electronic health record data from a collective of U.S. health care systems found that most adults with overweight or obesity discontinued glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) therapy within one year. Discontinuation rates were significantly higher and reinitiation rates were significantly lower for patients without type 2 diabetes.

People with inflammatory arthritis run a substantially increased risk for mood disorders like depression and anxiety.

Lupus can do irreversible harm to a person’s organs, damaging the lungs, kidneys, heart, liver and other vital organs through inflammation.

You may be familiar with high-density, or good cholesterol; low-density lipoproteins (LDL), or bad cholesterol; and their connections to heart health. But what about triglycerides? Often that word gets skimmed over when talking about cholesterol levels.

Staffing reductions across U.S. federal health agencies—including the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Food and Drug Administration (FDA), National Institutes of Health (NIH), and Agency for Health care Research and Quality (AHRQ)—pose a significant threat to public health, according to the Society for Health care Epidemiology of America (SHEA).

Researchers from the Huntington’s Disease Center, UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology, and UK DRI at UCL have taken major steps forward in advancing MSH3-targeting therapies for Huntington’s disease (HD). Their study is published in Science Translational Medicine.

Researchers at University of Tsukuba have applied a visualization technique to depict the brain’s activity related to visual perception as geometric patterns. They visualized different shapes, such as the ever-changing neuronal activity in the temporal and frontal lobes of the brain during object recognition and recalling memories. This achievement promises further extraction of brain activity observed in various aspects of daily life.
