Academic health sciences libraries play a pivotal role in advancing clinical and translational science, offering services that span the entire research lifecycle. As essential partners in the success of clinical and translational research, libraries have long collaborated with Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) Program hubs, along with other translational initiatives such as the IDeA Clinical & Translational Research Network.

Even casual football watchers could tell you there are different body types based on the player’s position. Linemen are big with a lot of body mass, and wide receivers are smaller and faster, for example. But a new study from the University of Kansas is setting the stage to determine if there are more subtle differences in fitness and strength characteristics by position that are not obvious, even to the trained football eye.

A groundbreaking study has identified a significant relationship between indoor temperatures and cognitive performance in older adults, shedding light on how climate change may pose an increased risk to cognitive health.

Having depression is known to increase a person’s risk of developing dementia, but depression is also an early indicator of dementia—particularly in older people—according to new research led by Queen Mary University of London and published in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry.

New research identifies differing trends in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) diagnoses among adolescents and adults, including an increase among adults from 2020 to 2023. The study, published in the journal Psychiatric Research and Clinical Practice, found a significant downward trends in ADHD incidence among adults from 2016 to 2020 and adolescents from 2016 to 2018. The ADHD incidence rate remained stable for adolescents in subsequent years.

Community health workers were found to be the unsung heroes of the health care system’s pandemic response, according to a study led by a team of public health researchers from the University of California, Irvine, and their community partners. Findings also show that current funding and reimbursement mechanisms remain inadequate to sustain their work.

You likely know that cigarette smoking is the leading cause of lung cancer, but cigarette use poses other threats to your lungs as well.

Researchers have uncovered novel insights into how brain function disruptions related to cerebrovascular disease (CeVD) interact with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathology to impact neurodegeneration and cognition in older adults.

Not many people had heard of human metapneumovirus, or HPMV, until a surge of recent cases in China made headlines.

The cause of rare diseases is increasingly being detected through genome sequencing, which involves reading the entire human DNA by first breaking it into small pieces—short reads. Christian Gilissen, Lisenka Vissers, and colleagues found that a new technique using long reads is even more effective at detecting complex causes. They report that 80–90% of cases were detectable, as stated in The American Journal of Human Genetics.
