What does a good night's sleep have to do with how we conduct studies on it? Did you know that scientists research sleep to find patterns that could benefit us? The idea is to use Mendelian randomization, a fancy term for studying genes that relate to different traits. We've seen many studies don
Deep within the Earth, tucked away 1, 500 miles below the surface, lies a massive ball of iron and nickel.

A recent study explored the use of post-transplant high-dose cyclophosphamide (PTCy) in haematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) from mismatched unrelated donors (MMUD) in patients with acute myeloid malignancies. The research focused on whether PTCy, along with a calcineurine inhibitor and my
Imagine this: A group of kids followed for a dozen years. What do they have? Kawasaki, and immune system issues. You cannot find much information on this link. So, scientists dug into the data on these kids, but that is not all. The focus is on figuring out the risk of immune problems in those who h
Migraines aren't just headaches; they're a complex neurological condition. Researchers have been using fMRI scans to learn more about what's happening in the brain during a migraine. Studies have shown different things. Looming limitations come from the mixed bag of variables and m
Ever thought about how vitamin D, which we all know keeps your bones strong, has other tricks up its sleeve? Researchers have been diving into this mystery. Clinical trials are crucial, but they need careful planning to be effective. This is where systematic reviews come in. Think of them a
This winter, flu cases are skyrocketing, making it one of the toughest flu seasons in over a decade. Reports from February show that 43 states are experiencing high to very high flu activity. Doctors are seeing a lot of flu-like illnesses, with nearly 8% of visits related to the flu. This is the hig
LGBTQI+ seniors, those aged 60 and above, have unique tales to tell. These experiences are often overlooked in research. Let's dive in, to get to know them better. Imagine a world where you had to hide who you were. For a long time, many LGBTQI+ seniors had to do just that. This was not a c
