June 23, 2023 – One pill makes you larger, and one pill makes you … smarter? Whether you’re Alice in Wonderland heading down the rabbit hole or a high school or college student trying to achieve academic excellence, researchers have an important message for you: There is no such thing as a "smart pill."

June 22, 2023 – Genetics or lifestyle -- which matters more? It’s one of those eternal questions in health care, but new science has an answer: Lifestyle matters more, at least when it comes to preventing type 2 diabetes. Among 60,000 healthy, middle-aged adults, those who exercised the most – at least 68 minutes a day – were 74% less likely to have type 2 diabetes after 7 years than the least active people (those logging less than 5 minutes of exercise a day). ...

June 22, 2023 – CAR T-cell therapy is a relatively new and extremely effective treatment for blood cancers such as leukemia. That is, if you can get it. For many, the drugs are too expensive to afford without insurance coverage, and treatment requires access to the few hospitals that offer the therapy. Barriers are especially unequal because the drugs are now in “the frontline setting” of successful treatment options, said Sairah Ahmed, MD, a specialist in lymphoma and myeloma at the MD Anderson Cancer Center at the University of Texas....

“You would have looked at my sons and never known,” says Bonnie Milas, MD. She’s speaking about the accidental opioid overdoses that killed her two adult sons in 2018 and 2019. She and other doctors say there's something that could spare many other families from going through the same tragedy.

Even though HER2-positive breast cancer is an aggressive form of the disease, recent advancements in medicine have improved outcomes drastically. Compared to just a few decades ago, this type of breast cancer responds better to treatment. But people with it are still choosing mastectomies over surgery that would allow them to keep their breast -- and researchers aren’t sure exactly why. ...

June 23, 2023 – When emergency room patients complain of stomach pain, doctors have limited options. Scans and ultrasounds can’t show the inner lining of the digestive tract, so patients are often sent home without answers. Upper endoscopies, where a flexible tube with a tiny camera is fed into the upper digestive tract, require anesthesia and can only be done by a gastroenterologist, so patients may be sent to another department, admitted to the hospital, or told to return another day....
