The federally commissioned review found no net health benefit from alcohol.
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 [...]Brain scans have uncovered two biologically distinct forms of autism hidden within the spectrum. An international team of researchers has identified at least two biologically distinct forms of autism by examining how different regions of the brain communicate with one another. The findings could help advance more precise and personalized approaches to autism care and [...]
Researchers have uncovered a previously underappreciated mechanism involved in Alzheimer’s disease and developed a compound that interrupts it. For decades, Alzheimer’s research has largely focused on amyloid plaques and tau tangles, the protein abnormalities that accumulate in the brain as the disease progresses. Yet despite billions of dollars in research and numerous drug development efforts, [...]Seven men die by suicide in Australia every day.

Protection from threats that haven't even emerged.
Researchers have created a smart wound dressing that can sense when harmful bacteria are present and respond by releasing antibiotics only when needed. Biomedical engineers at Brown University have created a wound dressing that releases antibiotics only when harmful bacteria are detected. In a new study, the team found that the material may quickly eliminate [...]When doctors discover that one of the heart’s major arteries is completely blocked, it often sounds like very bad news. Coronary arteries supply oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle, and a blockage can reduce blood flow and damage the heart. For many years, doctors believed that heart muscle located beyond a long-term blockage was often […]
