Among statins’ unwanted effects may be an increased risk of type 2 diabetes, new research suggests. Many people take statins to lower cholesterol and reduce the
Recent research has uncovered an unusual type of white blood cell that could be the main driver of autoimmunity in type 1 diabetes. New research suggests that a hybrid cell may be behind type 1 diabetes. Many experts believe that type 1 diabetes is a type of condition that occurs when the immune system attacks

Air pollution concentrations within or below current air quality standards have contributed to thousands of deaths in the U.S. from cardiorespiratory causes, researchers reported. In the nationwide and county level analysis accessing the impact of particulate matter pollution (PM2.5) concentrations on mortality and health, as many as 30,000 deaths in the U.S. could be attributed
By using a new technique that disguises anticancer drugs as fats, researchers have managed to safely deliver much higher doses of the drugs than usual to the site of cancer tumors in mouse models. A new ‘disguise’ method could allow researchers to safely deliver much higher anticancer drug doses to tumors. “It’s like a Trojan

Researchers have found that nilvadipine, a drug that doctors regularly use to treat hypertension, may help people with Alzheimer’s disease by increasing blood flow to the brain. New research suggests that a high blood pressure drug may slow down the progression of Alzheimer’s disease. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia. This progressive
New research suggests that many adults in the United States who take low dose aspirin daily to prevent heart disease could be at risk of harm. New research finds that more than 6 million U.S. adults take aspirin to prevent heart disease without a recommendation from their doctor. The individuals potentially at risk include older
Researchers have found that severe malnutrition is associated with lower exposure to the antimalarial drug lumefantrine in children treated with artemether-lumefantrine, the most common treatment, for uncomplicated falciparum malaria. The study, which is the first to specifically address this, has been published in Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics. It calls urgently for further research into optimized
Researchers have attributed a substantial drop in human papillomavirus (HPV) infections to the HPV vaccine. Now, they are waiting to see if it will have the same impact on the rates of cervical cancer. Vaccines have slashed the number of HPV infections, new research suggests. Just over a decade ago, healthcare professionals introduced a new
Researchers from Germany and Switzerland have recently investigated the possible associations between conditions relating to mental health, such as depression and anxiety, and the presence of different types of allergy. Their findings, they say, should prompt scientists to pay more attention to these links. New research identifies an association between generalized anxiety and the presence
A new study from Ohio State University has found that a low carb diet can help those at a higher risk of developing diabetes — even if they do not actually lose any weight. A low carb diet may reverse metabolic syndrome and stave off type 2 diabetes in people at risk. The research specifically
New research finds that the immunotherapy drug teplizumab delays the onset of type 1 diabetes by 2 years, on average, in high-risk individuals. New research has significant clinical implications, particularly for young people with a high risk of type 1 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease affecting about 1.25 million children and adults
An extensive meta-analysis provides comprehensive evidence that consistently following a healthful, plant-based diet could help lower the risk of type 2 diabetes. Data on thousands of individuals indicate that having a plant-based diet may help reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes. According to data from the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more
People with cancer have trouble accessing appropriate psychological support, a new global report published today by the All.Can international cancer initiative reveals. Patient insights on cancer care: opportunities for improving efficiency reveals findings from the international All.Can patient survey, in which seven out of ten respondents (69%) said they needed psychological support either during or
The media is rife with claims of breakthrough biomedical studies performed in animals. However, can animals ever faithfully model human health? What can animal models tell us about human health? Avid readers of medical news will be familiar with the widespread use of animal models in biomedical research. From nutrition to cancer research and studies
