Diabetes is an increasingly common condition that affects at least 1 in 10 U.S adults. Millions more have prediabetes and are at risk of developing full diabetes, though almost 1 in 3 don’t even know they are at risk. These numbers are disconcerting, because diabetes carries its own set of health complications. The damage caused […]

There is currently no vaccine available to prevent Lyme disease, a tick-borne illness prevalent across the United States. With rapid advancements in vaccine technology, this could soon change. Lyme disease is transmitted from a tick to its host through a bacteria called B. burgdorferi. Once bitten by a tick, it takes around 24 hours for the

Socioemotional behavior at age 8 predicts health behavior through education in midlife. The corresponding study was published in Psychology and Health.  For the study, researchers used data from the Jyväskylä Longitudinal Study of Personality and Social Development, an ongoing study that began in Finland in 1968. They followed participants from age 8 to age 50. Altogether, there were

If a body is going to function correctly, the cells need to be in the right place. Scientists have learned a lot about how cell migration occurs during development, but the growth of the human brain is still a process we don’t know a lot about. Every minute, about 250,000 neurons migrate as the fetal

The immune system must be able to swing into action to overcome pathogenic invaders. But the inflammation that accompanies the immune response must be carefully controlled, or it can lead to serious, sometimes critical medical problems. Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, researchers and clinicians have noticed that in some people, the viral infection

Researchers from University of California San Francisco and the San Francisco Veterans Affairs Health Care System conducted a cohort study of over 260,0000 fully vaccinated US Department of Veterans Affairs patients, and published the findings in JAMA Network Open. The study found an association between psychiatric disorder diagnoses and an increased incidence of SARS-CoV-2 breakthrough infection

Uveal melanoma is a rare type of cancer that grows in the melanin, the dark-colored pigment of the eye. About half of patients with uveal melanoma experience metastasis characterized by the spread of cancer cells to distant parts of the body. The liver is the most commonly inflicted secondary organ in metastatic uveal melanoma (mUM). Sadly, 75 –

Bacteria in the gut can have a powerful effect on the physiology of the host, including aspects of immunity and neurobiology; the gut-brain axis, for example, refers to the connection between intestinal microbes and the brain. Researchers have been exploring the links between compounds that are associated with gut microbes, such as the proteins they

It turns out you can have Delta and Omicron at the same time, and it can lead to the recombinant variant deltacron. First detected in France in January of this year, deltacron is a genetic mixture of the two variants. Although rare, recombinant viruses like deltacron can come about when one cell is infected with

Bioelectronic medicine, or the use of electrical devices to manipulate electrical signaling in the body, has been a recent therapeutics focus among doctors and researchers. According to the Institute of Bioelectronic Medicine, bioelectronic treatments use devices and other technologies to treat injuries or diseases as a potentially safer option compared to drugs and similar pharmaceuticals. And
