(HealthDay)—Among U.S. veterans with low-risk prostate cancer, use of conservative management increased from 2005 to 2015, according to a research letter published online June 5 in the Journal of the American Medical Association. Stacy Loeb, M.D., from Manhattan Veterans Affairs Medical Center in New York City, and colleagues examined treatment patterns for veterans diagnosed with […]
Whether we like it or not, most of us spend the majority of our lives at work. What happens within that cubicle or behind that counter can impact us in many ways, particularly when it comes to our mental health. In fact, a new study has found that high job strain is associated with an increased risk of developing common […]
Brain tumours are hard to treat. But even this is a harrowing understatement for some forms of the disease. Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is one such example. These rare brain tumours almost exclusively affect children, and they’re invariably fatal. “Almost all children with DIPG sadly die within a couple of years of diagnosis,” says […]
A simple $20 blood test could help diagnose thousands of patients with hepatitis B in need of treatment in some of Africa’s poorest regions. Researchers have developed an accurate diagnostic score that consists of inexpensive blood tests to identify patients who require immediate treatment against the deadly hepatitis B virus—which can lead to liver damage […]
In news that won’t surprise any mum or dad – a new study has reinforced that the first year of parenting involves little to no sleep. Research – commissioned by sleep technology brand Simba – has found that new parents get on average four hours and 44 minutes of sleep in the first 12 months of their child’s life, losing […]
Remove tumor cells from a living organism and place them in a dish, and they will multiply even faster than before.

Now, a group of […]

And those who literally live for moments like this: But some strange folk are taking their fixation to the next lev and are actually recruiting people to let […]
Princeton researchers have developed a new computational method that increases the ability to track the spread of cancer cells from one part of the body to another. This migration of cells can lead to metastatic disease, which causes about 90 percent of cancer deaths from solid tumors—masses of cells that grow in organs such as […]
When it comes to sleeping positions, most of us have a go-to. But your choice of snoozing situation might be impacting your overall health. In his book, A Life Less Stressed, Dr Ron Ehrlich outlines the five pillars of health and wellness that help us live happier, healthier and more resilient lives. And sleep tops this list. […]
Emerging CAR-T immunotherapies leverage modified versions of patient’s T-cells to target and kill cancer cells. In a new study, published June 28 online in Cell Stem Cell, researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine and University of Minnesota report that similarly modified natural killer (NK) cells derived from human induced pluripotent stem […]
