Women who carry higher levels of inflammation tend to be older and heavier. They often have larger waistlines, a higher body mass index, and more cases of high blood pressure or diabetes. These factors help explain why their inflammation markers are higher than those in lighter, younger women.
A new tool helps doctors estimate how long a patient will stay in the intensive care unit after oral free flap surgery, especially when no early tracheostomy is performed. The instrument is called a nomogram, a chart that combines several patient factors into one score. Researchers gathered da
Scientists have long known that our ears can lose sharpness over time, partly because of damage from harmful oxygen molecules and swelling in the body. Foods rich in flavonoids—those bright pigments found in fruits, vegetables, tea, and dark chocolate—come with built-in shields against this damage.
The new Trezor Safe 7 wallet just got a security check-up—but not a failing grade. A team of researchers from a rival company found a small flaw in one of the wallet’s inner chips called TROPIC01. This chip, made by Trezor’s own sister company, wasn’t up to snuff in some tests. The researchers used
Men who suffer from sudden gout attacks often show changes in their blood that doctors can spot. Researchers looked at a variety of numbers that come from routine blood tests, such as the ratio of monocytes to lymphocytes and neutrophils to lymphocytes.

Most people don’t realize that a toothbrush might be as important as a thermometer when trying to start a family. While many assume fertility depends mostly on age or egg count, science now suggests something much smaller could be making a big difference – the health of someone’s gums. Research on a
Many people with obesity deal with constant, low-level inflammation that makes it harder for their bodies to control blood sugar. One natural compound, fisetin—a type of flavonoid found in fruits like strawberries and apples—has caught attention for its potential to calm inflammation. But can it do
June 14 isn’t just about fireworks and backyard barbecues—it’s also Flag Day, the halfway mark to America’s 250th birthday, and Donald Trump’s 80th. But this year, the date is getting hijacked by two very different celebrations. One side is throwing a party with pop stars and speeches, while the oth
