Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) is a systemic inflammatory disease characterized by eosinophilia, an abnormal increase in eosinophils—a type of white blood cell—and inflammation of small blood vessels across multiple organs, which can lead to organ damage. Th

People in rural communities have long experienced disproportionate levels of chronic disease, driven in part by systemic barriers to physical activity. A new study from North Carolina State University highlights ways some rural communities use strategic investments and community

In a longitudinal study conducted at Vanderbilt Health, including investigators from the Vanderbilt Memory and Alzheimer's Center (VMAC), researchers found that lower cardiac output is associated with accelerated cerebral atrophy among older adults who carry the APOE-e4 allele, a

Congenital heart disease affects approximately two in every 100 newborns globally. But why does it occur? An important part of the answer may lie in a previously unknown mechanism on the surface of our cells. Researchers from the University of Copenhagen identified this mechanism

The need for more effective lung cancer treatments is paramount, as the disease remains a leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States. New findings by a research team from the Stony Brook Cancer Center highlight a novel therapeutic shown to be highly effective in reducing

Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) face a significantly higher risk of psychiatric disorders starting two to three years before diagnosis and lasting up to a decade afterward, according to a nationwide study published in Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology.

In the event of a pandemic, every society is confronted with the question: How can the spread of an infectious disease be effectively contained without restricting daily life more than necessary? Measures such as mandatory mask wearing or contact restrictions can reduce the sprea

Tiny pollution particles from smoke, soot, and dust may worsen rheumatoid arthritis and raise the risk of painful flares, particularly after prolonged exposure. The findings suggest that avoiding poor air quality could become an important part of managing the disease.

A long-term brain study found that common risks such as smoking, high blood pressure, heart disease, and high blood lipids were strongly linked to damage associated with vascular dementia. The findings suggest that healthier lifestyle choices could help delay dementia by reducing

An international team of researchers has developed an innovative strategy for producing new vaccines. They created a genetically modified version of the chikungunya virus that replicates only once yet still trains the immune system to defend itself without causing disease. In tes

Beginning around age 50, the brain’s memory center appears to lose many of its longtime immune cells and replace them with more inflammatory ones. This surprising shift may help explain how normal aging sets the stage for Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.
