New findings indicate that finerenone may help protect kidney function and reduce major health risks in people with chronic kidney disease who do not have diabetes. Chronic kidney disease affects an estimated 800 million people worldwide and is one of the leading causes of kidney failure, cardiovascular complications, and premature death. Yet for many patients [...]
Most people go to the hospital expecting to recover from an illness or injury. Few imagine they could develop a dangerous new infection while receiving treatment. Yet this happens more often than many people realize. One of the most serious hospital-acquired infections is pneumonia, a lung infection that can become life-threatening, especially for older adults […]
Many people worry about cancer, heart disease, or dementia as they grow older. Far fewer think about their kidneys. Yet a major new global study suggests that chronic kidney disease is becoming one of the most important health threats of the twenty-first century. Research published in The Lancet found that the number of people living […]
Researchers at the University of Cambridge and startup company GlitterinTech have developed a tiny, low-cost device that could bring powerful chemical sensing capabilities to wearable technology. The new device is an optical spectrometer—a tool that analyzes how light interacts with materials. Spectrometers are widely used in science, medicine, manufacturing, and environmental monitoring because they can […]
A newly developed biomaterial derived from natural and pharmaceutical components is showing promise as a potential treatment for periodontitis. What if a fruit best known for its massive size could help repair the damage caused by one of the world’s most common causes of tooth loss? Researchers in Brazil have developed an experimental biomaterial that [...]
Researchers from the University of Cambridge have created a new DNA sequencing method called Chem-map, which can detect where and how small molecule drugs interact with the targeted genome. The method enables researchers to conduct in situ mapping of small molecule-genome interactions with unprecedented precision. Chem-map was used in the study to determine the direct […]
Dentists, as well as periodontists, use several handheld oral surgical instruments. One such commonly used instrument includes dental chisels. This instrument has a unique design for splitting the tooth when it has any fracture. Likewise, the instrument consists of a beveled cutting edge on either side to assist the dentist while doing a complicated surgery. […]
A large phase 3 clinical trial has revealed promising results for a once-nightly pill designed to treat obstructive sleep apnea by targeting the biological mechanisms that cause airway collapse during sleep. A once-nightly pill significantly improved obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) symptoms in a large phase 3 clinical trial presented at the 2026 ATS International Conference. [...]
In a small randomized trial in the United Kingdom, adults who added a serving of 100% fruit juice or a smoothie to a healthier diet reported lower depression scores after four weeks.
In a small clinical trial, researchers at the Ohio State University found that a tomato juice rich in lycopene and soy isoflavones lowered several proteins linked to chronic inflammation, raising hopes for food-based therapies.
Andes hantavirus causes deadly lung failure, but its method of attack differs from other respiratory illnesses. The details might inform future treatments.
