People who have lived most of their lives blind often have extraordinary hearing abilities. In new research published in the Journal of Neuroscience, my colleagues and I discovered that this ability arises from how their auditory systems are able to more consistently and reliably process sounds compared with people who aren't blind. And interestingly, sighted musicians seem to enhance their hearing through a similar mechanism.

A treatment that is part of standard care for adults with acute respiratory distress syndrome does not provide the same benefit in children. Children with severe acute lung injury placed in the prone position do not spend less time dependent on a ventilator. High-frequency oscillatory ventilation does not shorten the duration of mechanical ventilation either. This is shown by a worldwide study led, among others, by UMCG pediatric intensivist Dr. Martin Kneyber. The results were published in The Lancet.

New research from Imperial College London has found that, on average, collapsible (sometimes called "foldable") bicycle helmets provide lower levels of protection against serious head injuries than noncollapsible helmets.

Neither local case mix, primary care provision nor geography explains the large differences in hospital admission rates, ranging from less than 10% to more than 40%, from emergency departments across England, finds research published online in Emergency Medicine Journal.

New research simultaneously published in the Journal of the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography & Interventions and presented at TCT 2026 found that the annual number of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) procedures among patients younger than 70 increased nearly ninefold within one health system, rising from 15 in 2014 to 134 in 2024. Surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) remained the predominant approach across the age groups studied.

The evidence that climate change threatens human health has never been stronger. Yet a new report suggests that world leaders are giving less attention to its health consequences in international political debate.

A cryptic email sent to Mass General Brigham employees by the health system's CEO is stirring staff anxiety less than two weeks after a round of layoffs.

Nearly half of drinkers who take GLP-1 medications have reported declines in consumption, with the effect higher among those at risk of unhealthy alcohol use, a new Harvard study shows. The work, published in the journal JAMA Psychiatry, explores an unexpected side effect of GLP-1s used to treat diabetes and obesity.

A study of for-profit hospices acquired by private equity firms found that Medicare spending rose by 5.9% per hospice stay after acquisition, compared with similar for-profit hospices that weren't acquired. The increase was driven mainly by longer stays, with the average length of stay rising by 6.3 days. This was likely related to shifts toward patients who use less daily care, including a significant increase in the share of patients with dementia, consistent with a larger share of patients discharged from hospice alive.

A study led by researchers at the University of California San Diego School of Medicine and University of California, Riverside (UCR) School of Medicine has identified new targets for antiviral drugs against coronaviruses, including SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. These new targets could help scientists discover treatments that are less vulnerable to the rapid evolution of these viruses.

For patients undergoing elective intestinal resection for Crohn disease (CD), cumulative surgical recurrence rates are lower with laparoscopic versus open surgery, according to a study published online July 23 in Techniques in Coloproctology.

Millions of people take antihistamines for allergies, but some of these medicines can make you sleepy, slow your reactions and affect your concentration. Others are much less likely to have these effects. Knowing the difference can help you choose an allergy treatment that won't interfere with your day.

Patients cared for by female physicians in the hospital were less likely to die or be readmitted than those treated by male physicians, according to a new ICES study led by a University of Toronto researcher. This suggests that care by female physicians may be associated with better short- and long-term outcomes among patients hospitalized with common medical diagnoses.

The gut is home to billions of microorganisms. It is a complex ecosystem that regulates many of the body's functions and helps keep us healthy—when it is in balance. Our diet influences this ecosystem. But does it matter whether a person is vegan or omnivorous?

Melatonin and Ambien taken before surgery were linked to less anxiety, reduced pain and a 30% drop in opioid use, a Yale-led study suggests.

When turning on the oven is a no-no and you're bored of salads, these foods (and drinks) will help to beat the heat.

This is a MedPage Today story. HAVANA, Fla. -- For a rural community, this town of 1,750 people has been more fortunate than most. A family doctor has practiced here for the last 30 years. But that ended in December when Mark Newberry, MD, retired. To attract a new doctor, Havana leaders took out want ads in local newspapers, posted notices on social media, and sweetened the pot with a rent-free medical office equipped with an x-ray, an ultrasound machine, and a bone density scanner -- all owned by the town. Local leaders hope the recruitment campaign will help attract candidates amid a nationwide shortage of doctors. "This is important for our community," said Kendrah Wilkerson, Havana's town manager, "in the same way that parks are important and good future planning is important." According to a Florida Department of Health report, doctor shortages affect all or part of nearly every county, but less populous counties, such as Gadsden, where Havana is located, have the...
