UKHSAs most recent data on tuberculosis (TB) revealed a rise in reported numbers in England by 13% in 2024 (5,480) compared to 2023 (4,850). This signals a rebound to above the pre-COVID-19 numbers, despite significant progress towards a decline in TB over the last few decades. In this blog post, we outline the trends and patterns healthcare professionals should remain alert for, to help prevent the disease spreading further.
Maintaining a healthy diet rich in plant-based foods, with low to moderate intake of healthy animal-based foods and lower intake of ultra-processed foods, was linked to a higher likelihood of healthy aging -- defined as reaching age 70 free of major chronic diseases and with cognitive, physical, and mental health maintained, according to a new study.
With no help from the federal government, states are trying to regulate recreational marijuana. California's Department of Cannabis Control works to keep contaminants out of joints, vapes and edibles.
BOULDER, Colo. Colorado regulators are issuing licenses for providing psychedelic mushrooms and are planning to authorize the state’s first “healing centers,” where the mushrooms can be ingested under supervision, in late spring or early summer. The dawn of state-regulated psychedelic mushrooms has arrived in Colorado, nearly two years since Oregon began offering them.
TikTok has become the go-to-source on ADHD for teens and young adults. But a new study finds a lot of the information is misleading and can make people's symptoms worse.
In this episode, Sujani sits down with Glenn Laverack, a seasoned public health professional whose career has spanned continents and been shaped by his diverse experiences. His early years engaged with grassroots initiatives laid the foundation for a deep understanding of the local context, an asset that would become invaluable as he navigated the complex world of global health.
Body size and excess weight, conventionally assessed using body mass index (BMI), are well-established risk factors for many types of cancer. However, new research to be presented at this year's European Congress on Obesity (ECO 2025, Malaga, Spain, 11-14 May) and published in The Journal of the National Cancer Institute shows that waist circumference (WC) is a stronger risk marker than BMI for developing obesity-related cancers in men, but not women.

Yes, Adults Can Develop Seasonal Allergies By Mohana Ravindranath, New York Times The return of the pestering pollen accompanies the buzzing bees, shining sun, and blossoming buds of spring. A common misconception about seasonal allergies, also known as just hay fever, is that it only burdens children. After all, allergies are most prevalent among children and typically develop after age two.
By Britnae Purdy, associate specialist, Global Health At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, Honduras had no genetic sequencing capacity. The countrys public health laboratories were forced to send all samples to nearby Panama for sequencing. Shipping internationally naturally resulted in delayed resultsdelays that only grew worse as the pandemic went on, making it harder for scientists watching the novel virus to gather useful data and mitigate its impact on the population.
Applying for fellowships can feel like a full-time jobespecially when you’re juggling coursework, research, and a thesis or dissertation. But landing the right fellowship can open doors to incredible career opportunities, mentorship, and hands-on experience in your field.
Health Ministry writes to States expressing serious concern over non-compliance of rules under THOTA. Such non-compliance undermines NOTTOs ability to fulfil its mandated obligations and impedes the overarching objective of augmenting organ donation rates nationwide, a NOTTO communication said.
Researchers have discovered that chimpanzees living in Gombe Stream National Park in Tanzania employ a degree of engineering when making their tools, deliberately choosing plants that provide materials that produce more flexible tools for termite fishing.
Employment From the DoL - Unemployment rates were higher in January than a year earlier in 290 of the 387 metropolitan areas, lower in 64 areas, and unchanged in 33 areas, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Injury and illness rates Dropped 14% from 2019 to 2023… injuries with time away from work were down near 17%. That is a big drop… workers’ comp service entities’ multiyear business plans MUST carefully consider frequency changes.
The Public Health Educator (PHE) will provide coverage of critical health education, community outreach and communication functions for the Bureau of Tobacco Control (BTC), including coordination, development and dissemination of key data, information and talking points to internal and external partners.
Scientists reviewed how polyphenol-rich diets in Blue Zones may help people live longer, healthier lives by targeting biological hallmarks of aging. They call for more research to measure polyphenol intake and test its effects on human longevity.
The longest organic molecules identified to date on Mars have recently been detected. These long carbon chains, containing up to 12 consecutive carbon atoms, could exhibit features similar to the fatty acids produced on Earth by biological activity. The lack of geological activity and the cold, arid climate on Mars have helped preserve this invaluable organic matter in a clay-rich sample for the past 3.7 billion years.
Older adults who limit their sedentary time have lower metabolic syndrome risk, regardless of how active they are or how healthy they eat. Even light movement can support better metabolic health when replacing prolonged sitting.
Investigators have developed a long-acting contraceptive implant that can be delivered through tiny needles to minimize patient discomfort and increase the likelihood of medication use. Their findings in preclinical models provide the technological basis to develop self-administrable contraceptive shots that could mimic the long-term drug release of surgically implanted devices.
Fish oil supplements, delivering higher EPA doses, significantly reduced the number and procoagulant activity of extracellular vesiclesunlike oily fish. This suggests EPA, not DHA, may drive cardiovascular benefits linked to EV function.
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to increased astigmatism in children, with prolonged screen time and less outdoor activity contributing to eye health issues.
Mathematicians studied the flow of human crowds and developed a way to predict when pedestrian paths will transition from orderly to entangled. Their findings may help inform the design of public spaces that promote safe and efficient thoroughfares.
Daily consumption of 57g of pecans for 12 weeks improved cholesterol profiles and diet quality in adults at risk of cardiometabolic disease, without affecting vascular health. Replacing typical snacks with pecans led to higher intake of healthy fats and fiber, and reduced carbohydrate consumption.
Researchers developed olfactory tests -- in which participants sniff odor labels that have been placed on a card -- to assess people's ability to discriminate, identify and remember odors. They found that participants could successfully take the test at home and that older adults with cognitive impairment scored lower on the test than cognitively normal adults.
A simple urine test could accurately show the recurrence of kidney cancer at an early stage, potentially sparing patients invasive scans and enabling faster access to treatment, new research has shown.
To mitigate global climate change, emissions of the primary culprit, carbon dioxide, must be drastically reduced. A newly developed process helps solve this problem: CO2 is directly split electrochemically into carbon and oxygen. Oxygen could also be produced in this way under water or in space -- without requiring stringent conditions such as pressure and temperature.
The use of social prescriptions to improve children and young peoples wellbeing without medication can strengthen government policy on mental health support, University of Manchester researchers have found.
Inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) are commonly prescribed for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but not recommended as first-line treatment unless patients have asthma/COPD overlap or frequent exacerbations.
The recent measles outbreak in the United States, a nation with advanced healthcare infrastructure, underscores the consequences of vaccine hesitancy; this resurgence is not due to a lack of access or socioeconomic disparities but arises from wilful ignorance and misinformation
Lemons have been valued for centuries, not just for their bright, tangy flavor but also for their powerful health benefits. Historically, they were so rare that Romans considered them a status symbol of nobility. 1 In the Age of Exploration, sailors relied on them to prevent scurvy. 2 Today, lemons are widely available and used in everything from culinary dishes to natural cleaning solutions.
A comprehensive study from Karolinska Institutet shows that people with fatty liver disease have almost twice the mortality rate of the general population.
A natural citrus oil from oranges, lemons, and limes is proving highly effective in relieving dry mouth, and when combined with a new lipid formulation, new research suggests it may be effective without significant side effects.
