Lower thresholds may explain rise in young people's service use for mental health issues
Lower thresholds for seeking medical help and/or changes in diagnostic practice, rather than a true increase in worsening psychological ill health, may help explain the rise in young people's primary care service use for mental health issues, suggest the findings of a large, long
Dementia-causing substance turns into a therapeutic 'switch' with new Alzheimer's drug str
A substance that worsens dementia has become a "switch" that initiates treatment. KAIST researchers have developed a new therapeutic approach that uses hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), a reactive oxygen species that damages cells and increases in the brains of patients with Alzheimer's
First AI agent and risk prediction model for precision diabetes management
A research team at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) has developed Hong Kong's first "AI Agent for Precision Diabetes Management—PIPE-AI" (AI Agent), designed specifically for Asian populations, together with a related disease risk prediction model. Leveraging artifici
Australian cancer trials are getting worse at reporting sex differences, putting patients
Women with cancer may not have the same chance of cure or quality of life as men—yet fewer than 2% of Australian cancer clinical trials report results separately for men and women. Women are also more likely to experience severe side effects from cancer treatment, including immun
Cruise ship air pollution at port cities could make viral infections worse
Air pollution from cruise ships could be damaging the health of people living in port cities by increasing inflammation and susceptibility to viruses such as the common cold and COVID-19. New research from the University of Southampton, published in Environment International, stu
Secondhand smoke independently disrupts children's sleep
A new study from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) has found that children exposed to secondhand smoke have significantly poorer sleep quality and greater sleep fragmentation, independent of the severity of their breathing problems. The prospective clinical trial, publishe
