Early pregnancy air pollution exposure linked to persistent depressive symptoms
Exposure to common air pollutants during early pregnancy may increase the likelihood of persistent depressive symptoms throughout pregnancy, according to a new study led by Tracy Bastain and co-authored by Carrie Breton, who recently joined Bursky School of Public Health at Washi
Faster aging, chronic disease linked to WTC responders with PTSD
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) remains a common condition affecting World Trade Center (WTC) responders 25 years after the attack on the Twin Towers. While the condition is considered mainly psychological, a new study sheds light on changes in the biological processes of W
Age, hearing status linked to long-term outcomes in Meniere disease
For patients with Meniere disease (MD), age and baseline hearing status are associated with long-term hearing outcomes, according to a study published online May 16 in Acta Oto-Laryngologica.
Hearing aid use linked to 23% lower dementia risk in people with both epilepsy and hearing
Adults with both epilepsy and hearing loss who use hearing aids may have a 23% lower risk of developing dementia than those who do not, according to new research presented at the European Academy of Neurology (EAN) Congress 2026.
Hospital discharge sedatives linked to more falls, readmissions and deaths in older adults
Older adults discharged from hospital with a new prescription for a sedative, especially a benzodiazepine or antipsychotic, are at increased risk of falls and other negative consequences, according to new research published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal.
Excess belly fat linked to faster biological aging
New research suggests that higher levels of visceral fat, the fat stored deep in the abdomen, could contribute to faster biological aging in middle-aged adults. Adjunct Associate Professors Jennie Hui and Kun Zhu, from The University of Western Australia, were co-authors of the s
Diabetes linked to worse long COVID outcomes
People with diabetes who have had COVID-19 tend to recover more slowly, experience more long COVID complications, have a poorer quality of life, and require closer and more prolonged monitoring by medical teams. This was demonstrated in a study by the University of São Paulo, whi
Large multiple sclerosis brain cohort reveals biological differences linked to disease sev
Why does multiple sclerosis progress quickly in some people, while others remain stable for years? Researchers from the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience have identified biological patterns in the brain that may help explain these differences. Their study shows that these pa
Genetically lower systolic BP linked to increased risk of allergic rhinitis
Genetically predicted lower systolic blood pressure (SBP) seems to increase susceptibility to allergic rhinitis (AR), according to a study published online May 29 in Tobacco Induced Diseases.
Mapping the risk factors for mother-infant bonding disorder
Mother-to-infant bonding difficulties (MIBD) are commonly associated with postnatal depression. MIBD has been linked to developmental delays and child abuse. Researchers found that about half of MIBD cases in Japan involve mothers who did not experience postpartum depression. Dif
C-section, maternal history of allergic diseases linked to allergic rhinitis in offspring
Maternal cesarean section (CS) and maternal history of allergic diseases (MHAD) are independent and synergistic risk factors for allergic rhinitis (AR) in offspring, according to a study published online June 20 in the International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology.
