If you start reading the labels of the various milks at the supermarket, you’ll quickly find different fat levels, added nutrients like calcium, lactose-free options, milk from goats or sheep, and ones made from plants.

A new study has revealed large differences in attitudes toward various types of drugs, with a growing acceptance of psychedelics and strong negative feelings toward more traditional illicit drugs.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is entering the mainstream. The term encompasses a wide variety of machines that can learn from data, identify patterns, and make decisions. But how can it be used to support health care? EULAR—The European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology—has picked a number of abstracts for its 2025 congress in Barcelona that showcase how AI is influencing different areas in rheumatology—from diagnosis through to monitoring, risk prediction, and patient communication.

Autoinflammatory diseases predominantly affect young patients, many of whom may go on to become pregnant. For many inflammatory diseases, pregnancy can be a period of destabilization of inflammatory activity, and may lead to complications for the mother or fetus. But there is a lack of prospective large cohort data on pregnancy outcomes in these patients—particularly in familial Mediterranean fever (FMF).

The weather is getting cooler and many of us are turning to hot showers and baths to warm up and wind down.

A new study offers insight into the health and lifestyle indicators—including diet, physical activity and weight—that align most closely with healthy brain function across the lifespan. The study used machine learning to determine which variables best predicted a person’s ability to quickly complete a task without becoming distracted.

It’s been long established that our working memory, which allows us to temporarily hold and use information, such as remembering a phone number or a shopping list, is largely driven by the brain’s prefrontal cortex. However, new research finds that the part of the brain used in visual processing plays a much more critical role in working memory than previously thought.

Washington state reported 25 times as many whooping cough cases last year as the year before, according to new data that serve as a reminder of the disease’s continued surge here and nationwide.

Living in zero gravity can lead to periodontitis, a common and serious condition where the gums become inflamed and the bone that supports teeth starts to break down, eventually leading to tooth loss, scientists reveal in a new study.

When the brain is under pressure, certain neural signals begin to move in sync—much like a well-rehearsed orchestra. A new study from Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) is the first to show how flexibly this neural synchrony adjusts to different situations and that this dynamic coordination is closely linked to cognitive abilities.
