Health insurance premiums in the U.S. significantly increased between 1999 and 2024, outpacing the rate of worker earnings by three times. Over half of board members at top U.S. hospitals have professional backgrounds in finance or business

Insufficient sleep associated with decreased life expectancy. As a behavioral driver for life expectancy, sleep stood out more than diet, more than exercise, more than loneliness — indeed, more than any other factor except smoking. People really should strive to get 7 to 9 hours of sleep.

Screens have risen sharply in past 15 years, coinciding with increase in ADHD diagnoses in Sweden and elsewhere. Children who spent significant time on social media (Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, Twitter) gradually developed inattention symptoms; there was no such association with TV or video games.

Babies of pregnant women who drank well water that had flowed beneath a PFAS-contaminated site had 191% higher first-year infant mortality than babies born to women who drank water from wells upstream of PFAS sites, in study based on 10 years of births in NH

A new study drawing on more than 28 million days of real-world health data from more than 70 000 participants worldwide found that fewer than 13 % consistently meet recommended sleep and activity targets, suggesting that better sleep quality could meaningfully boost daily activity.

New study finds 11% nationwide decline in rural family physicians

A 32-year Swedish review of 52 sudden deaths during arrests suggests victims weren’t dying from lack of oxygen but from an inability to expel carbon dioxide. “The person can often shout 'I can’t breathe' because they are getting air, but their body is screaming to get rid of CO₂”

Research found that World Trade Centre responders with PTSD had brains that appeared significantly older than their chronological age compared to those without PTSD. Longer exposure duration at Ground Zero further amplified this effect.

New study finds adults participating in a pharmacist directed medical cannabis program may help reduce prescription opioid receipt among adults with chronic pain.

Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is associated with white matter lesions/hyperintensity (WMH), and elevated blood plasma cortisol predicts the severity of the damage.

Researchers have created a new carbon-negative building material. This enzymatic structural material is a strong, durable, and recyclable construction material produced through a low-energy, bioinspired process

Hemp Seed Proteins Show Strong Antioxidant and Anti-Cancer Potential

Huge rotating structure of galaxies and dark matter is detected

Cancer cells evade apoptosis, or programmed cell death. Inducing apoptosis in cancer may be less toxic to healthy tissue than chemotherapy or radiation. Japanese scientists discovered that when a microbial protein is exposed to green light, it induces apoptosis in cancer-specific cell lines in mice.

Chronic stress and elevated cortisol are linked to breast cancer in a clinical case-control study.

A research team has unveiled a small molecule that hunts down a cancer-enabling RNA and quietly erases it.

Speed cameras improve road safety: Quasi-experimental study finds NYC’s program reduced crashes by 30% and injuries by 16% near intersections with cameras.

Scientists develop a “proactive hearing assistant” that automatically figures out who you’re talking to using AI and enhances only their voices in real time

Excess cholesterol drives early atherosclerosis by overloading mitochondria with calcium and impairing their energy production, leading to arterial plaque formation.

New research differentiates cognitive disengagement syndrome from ADHD in youth. Approximately 2.5 percent of children and 1.5 percent of adolescents in the general population fit the “cognitive disengagement syndrome only” profile. This confirms that the syndrome can exist as a solo clinical entity

High glycemic-index diets linked to higher lung cancer risk, while high glycemic-load diets show lower risk in a large U.S. cohort study

Opioid use linked to higher risk of C. difficile infection

Invasive Burmese pythons and Argentine tegu lizards spread 89 varieties of plant seeds in the Everglades. They do this by eating and digesting small herbivorous animals. Some of the seeds are invasive, but most are actually native, including threatened saw palmetto and royal palm.

Bees ‘infect’ each other with optimism that spreads through the colony. The 'feeling' was spread not by sound or scent but by visual interaction.

Killer whale fibroblast experiments show that exposure to persistent organic pollutants reduces cell viability and significantly enhances cetacean morbillivirus replication, highlighting contaminants as a potential factor exacerbating disease severity in wild populations.
