Health officials are investigating a salmonella outbreak tied to cucumbers grown in Florida.

Sudden cardiac death is responsible for an unusually high proportion of deaths in male bodybuilders worldwide, with the highest risk among professional bodybuilders, according to research published in the European Heart Journal.

To fight Lyme disease, you need more than one line of attack. At Université de Montréal’s Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, researchers have started using tick poison on mice, which are key hosts for the bacteria responsible for the illness.

New research presented today at the European Stroke Organization Conference (ESOC 2025) held in Helsinki, May 21–23, revealed that the use of combined oral contraceptives (OCs) is associated with a threefold increase in the risk of cryptogenic ischemic stroke (CIS) in young women. The findings add to a growing body of evidence linking hormonal contraception to vascular risk in women of reproductive age.

A team of Monash University researchers have successfully piloted an algorithm to identify incorrect penicillin allergy labels and educate patients presenting to community pharmacies.

A potent combination of antimalarial compounds added to bed nets blocked parasite transmission in mosquitoes while circumventing insecticide resistance, according to a new study led by researchers at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. The finding dramatically expands understanding of druggable targets in mosquito-stage parasite development and lays the groundwork for a new, more effective way to prevent malaria transmission.

Nebraska is the first state to get federal approval to ban the purchase of soda and energy drinks under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), also known as food stamps.

Mice genetically engineered to lack the ability to make the amino acid cysteine, and fed a cysteine-free diet, lost 30% of their body weight in just one week, a new study shows.

A study in the journal Nature explains how age reshapes the blood system. In both humans and mice, a few stem cells, or “clones,” outcompete their neighbors and gradually take over blood production. The blood stem cell reservoir shrinks and becomes dominated by clones which show a preference for producing myeloid cells, immune cells linked to chronic inflammation.

As researchers work to improve treatment of Alzheimer’s disease, new research by UCLA Health identified a candidate drug that reduces levels of a toxic form of a protein in the brain caused by the disease and improved memory in mice by boosting production of a protective protein.
