Rethinking Suicide Prevention: A Public Health Approach to a Global Problem
Suicide is a major public health crisis, claiming over 700,000 lives globally each year. Yet, despite its staggering toll, suicide is a preventable tragedy. A new framework is emerging that could transform how we approach this complex issue – by shifting the focus from individual-level risk factors to the broader social determinants that shape suicide risk across populations
Breaking Through Food Allergy Barriers with SLIT
This initial study suggests that sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) can be used to bypass oral immunotherapy (OIT) build up in a real world setting.
A Breakthrough Treatment for Chronic Sinusitis
This is the first placebo-controlled evidence demonstrating efficacy of any medication in chronic sinusitis without nasal polyps. It's an exhalation delivery system with the corticosteroid - fluticasone that may provide relief for patients in whom standard delivery nasal steroids cannot control symptoms.
AI | Detecting COVID-19 in Lungs with Deep Learning
Over the past few years, researchers have made great strides in applying machine learning and artificial intelligence to medical imaging. One area that has shown promise is using deep neural networks (DNNs) to analyze lung ultrasound images and detect signs of COVID-19
Understanding the Silent Killer: Respiratory Syncytial Virus
Respiratory syncytial virus, commonly known as RSV, has often been called "the forgotten virus." Despite being a leading cause of infant hospitalization worldwide, RSV still receives significantly less attention than other pediatric viruses like influenza.
The Link Between Diet, Metabolism and Vaccine Effectiveness
Influenza and other viral illnesses continue to pose serious health risks worldwide. Vaccination is a cornerstone of prevention strategies, but their effectiveness can vary significantly between individuals. A new mouse study illuminates one overlooked factor that may explain a key aspect of this variability
Revealing the Hidden Complexities of Fasting Blood Sugar
A large study harnessing continuous glucose monitoring has revealed significant day-to-day fluctuations in fasting blood sugar that could impact how diabetes is diagnosed
The Growing Recognition of Inflammation in Parkinson’s Disease
Parkinson disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects peripheral organs as well as the central nervous system and involves a fundamental role of neuroinflammation in its pathophysiology
