Cardiovascular diseases cause one death every 33 seconds in America. Diagnosing these conditions, which account for approximately 20% of all deaths annually, can be difficult because the overlaying and natural fluorescence of cardiac tissue complicate diagnostic images.

If we have an allergy to peanuts, strawberries or dairy, we are quick to blame our immune systems. But when we enjoy a diverse diet without any adverse reaction, we generally don’t realize that this is also the immune system’s doing.

Immediate recovery efforts receive the most attention after severe natural disasters, yet new data from researchers at Drexel University and the University of Maryland suggests that these climate events often also leave a critical long-term—and often unaddressed—problem in declines in access to health care.

We don’t always understand our emotions, but we couldn’t lead normal lives without them. They steer us through life, guiding the decisions we make and the actions we take. But if they’re inappropriate or stick around for too long, they can cause trouble.

Arriving home after a long day may be a relief, but for some people, seeing their front door or inserting a key into the lock triggers a powerful urge to pee. Known as “latchkey incontinence,” this phenomenon is the subject of a new study by researchers at the University of Pittsburgh who found that mindfulness training and/or noninvasive brain stimulation could reduce bladder leaks and feelings of urgency evoked by these cues.

Researchers at the University of Oklahoma are advancing the fight against inherited retinal diseases (IRDs) with new genetic research that aims to improve diagnoses and lay the groundwork for future therapies.

A team of researchers at Baylor College of Medicine, UMass Chan Medical School and Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center has developed a new treatment that could change the outlook for patients with Alagille syndrome. The condition affects multiple organs, including the liver, where it often leads to liver failure.

Republicans in the U.S. Senate are sparring over their version of the multitrillion-dollar budget and immigration bill the House of Representatives passed on May 22, 2025.

A research team from the Germans Trias i Pujol Research Institute (IGTP), has published a study in the journal Scientific Reports proposing a method to correct selection biases in population-based cohorts. The study represents a significant step forward in improving the reliability of data derived from such studies for public health research and precision medicine.

Young and middle-aged adults who live with chronic loneliness may be at risk for early cognitive decline, according to a new study by researchers in the Penn State Department of Human Development and Family Studies.
