CHENNAI: Sleep disturbances are a significant predictor of future mental health issues in adolescents, confirms a latest study ...
Teens might finally have a good reason to sleep in on weekends within limits. A new study reveals that teenagers who get up to two extra hours of sleep on weekends show fewer anxiety symptoms than those who don t. But go…
The scenario plays out countless times across hospital corridors: A medical student observes an attending physician dismissing a ...
Bipolar Disorder: The world has been constantly seeing a surge in mental health-related cases, the disorders that surround mental ...
On Sept. 23, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health conducted an investigation into the hospital regarding compliance concerns with hospital licensure regulations, with the agency finding no ...
Four in every ten Australians aren't getting enough sleep, sparking fears that a lack of funding to treat the issue could see ...
Chronic pain in spinal disorders arises from conditions such as lumbar disc herniation, spinal stenosis and degenerative ...

What if one of the most powerful tools for protecting Europe’s mental health has been hiding in plain sight in our bedrooms?
Spending too much time sitting after a heart scare could be deadly. New research shows that patients who were sedentary for more than 14 hours a day in the month after leaving the hospital had a sharply higher chance of…
Sleep experts recommend against snoozing after a wake-up alarm, but a study shows the practice is common, with more than 50% of sleep sessions logged ending in a snooze alarm and users spending 11 minutes on average…
While Alzheimer's disease is mostly considered a disorder of the brain, emerging evidence suggests that the condition also affects other organs of the body. Working with the laboratory fruit fly, researchers provide a…
A breakthrough study has revealed why emerging electric aircraft engine technology sounds so annoying -- and how to fix it.
A transient ischemic attack, also known as a mini-stroke, is typically defined as a temporary blockage of blood flow to the brain that causes symptoms that go away within a day, but a new study finds that people who have…
Even a few nights with insufficient sleep promote molecular mechanisms linked to a greater risk of heart problems. This has been shown in a new study in which the researchers investigated how sleep deprivation affects…
Obstructive sleep apnea, a condition that causes lower oxygen levels during sleep, is linked to degeneration of brain regions associated with memory through damage to the brain's small blood vessels, according to a new…
Clinical psychology is the scientific discipline concerned with the assessment, diagnosis, formulation and treatment of ...
In a landmark clinical trial people at risk for Alzheimer's who exercised at low or moderate-high intensity showed less cognitive decline when compared to those receiving usual care.
The molecular mechanism behind why heart attacks can vary in severity depending on the time of day has been uncovered, potentially paving the way for innovative treatments that align with the natural circadian rhythm.
A new study suggests that risk factors and biomarkers related to Alzheimer's disease are associated with cognition much earlier in life than previously recognized. The study highlights significant associations between…
Among adults ages 18-49 (median age of 41 years) who were born with a hole in the upper chambers of their heart known as patent foramen ovale (PFO), strokes of unknown cause were more strongly associated with…
Focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) type 2 is a congenital malformation of the cerebral cortex that is often associated with difficult-to-treat epilepsy. In the affected areas, nerve cells and their layer structures are…
Individuals with a genetic predisposition to Alzheimer's disease show altered blood levels indicating damaged neuronal contacts as early as 11 years before the expected onset of dementia symptoms. This is evident in the…
New research has uncovered how a simple circadian clock network demonstrates advanced noise-filtering capabilities, enhancing our understanding of how biological circuits maintain accuracy in dynamic natural…
A new wave of innovative psychologists is redefining mental health care, pushing beyond traditional models to create more ...
New candidate genes which could be responsible for deafness have been identified.
Researchers identified a direct connection between cancer-related inflammation and the loss of motivation characteristic of advanced cancer. In a mouse study, they describe a brain pathway that starts with neurons…
A collaborative study found that while sleep duration recovers quickly, sleep timing and sleep architecture can take significantly longer to realign when traveling across time zones.
Experimental drug NU-9 -- a small molecule compound approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for clinical trials for the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) -- improves neuron health in animal…
Retired adults who habitually exercised outperformed sedentary adults in physical and cognitive tests.
