We are in the middle of a global workplace burnout epidemic—aptly named the “burnout society” by Korean-German philosopher Byung-Chul Han.

A “fine-tuned” artificial intelligence (AI) tool shows promise for objective evaluation of patients with facial palsy, reports an experimental study in the June issue of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.

During his third-year psychiatry clerkship as a medical student, Zach Rosenthal, MD, Ph.D., was part of a team providing care to a young man with schizophrenia and severe catatonia.

Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital have found that genetics and type of cancer treatment contribute most to a survivor’s risk of a second cancer.

Asian Americans are no longer the healthiest racial group among older U.S.-born adults, according to a new study published in the The Journals of Gerontology, Series B: Psychological Sciences and Social Sciences. Non-Hispanic white Americans now report lower rates of disability in this age group, marking a shift in health trends.

Researchers from The University of Texas at Dallas’ Center for Vital Longevity (CVL) have released the full dataset from a decade-long project designed to track brain and cognitive health as people age and distinguish neurologically healthy paths from those indicating a likelihood of decline.

A team of scientists at the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Center (The Institute) has made a landmark discovery that sheds light on how the immune system protects the gut during infection. By studying intestinal worms—also known as helminths—the team, led by Professor Irah King, uncovered a previously unknown immune mechanism that preserves intestinal function in the presence of persistent infection.

Researchers have identified C5aR1 as a novel biomarker for metastasis risk and poor prognosis in patients with cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC), the most common type of metastatic skin cancer.

University of Virginia School of Medicine scientists have uncovered a key reason why HIV remains so difficult to cure: Their research shows that small changes in the virus affect how quickly or slowly it replicates, and how easily or stubbornly it can reawaken from hiding. These insights bring researchers closer to finding ways to flush out the dormant virus and eliminate it for good.

Wound assessment by medical professionals relies largely on visual inspection, which can be challenging due to its subjective nature. Nitric oxide (NO) plays an important role in healing, as it is produced by immune cells during inflammation and acts as a key signal to coordinate recovery.
