Una encuesta reveló que casi una cuarta parte de los adultos que fueron dados de baja de Medicaid el año pasado ahora no tienen seguro. Las protecciones del programa durante la pandemia expiraron el año pasado, lo que resultó en la pérdida de cobertura para muchos. Sin embargo, casi la mitad de las personas que…
Dr. Edward V. Loftus Jr. discusses the use of interchangeable biosimilars in patients with inflammatory bowel disease in a video exclusive for Healio. The availability of interchangeable biosimilars like Cyltezo, Abrilada, and Wezlana has increased access to costly medications for patients. Dr. Loftus explains that interchangeable biosimilars have been studied more than regular biosimilars and…

The Federal Trade Commission ordered Cerebral to stop using health information for advertising purposes. The company, known for providing counseling services and prescriptions for mental…
This study developed and tested a new prediction tool, called KDpredict, to predict the risk of kidney failure and mortality in individuals with moderate to severe chronic kidney disease. The study used data from Canada, Denmark, and Scotland to train and test the tool. KDpredict outperformed the current benchmark model for kidney failure risk prediction,…
A study by researchers at City University of Hong Kong and The Chinese University of Hong Kong discovered evidence of numerical ability in rats, suggesting the existence of discrete number sense in rodents. The research used brain manipulation techniques, numerical learning tasks, and AI modeling to investigate the neural basis of numerical ability. The findings…
Researchers reviewed the impact of environmental factors on fetal brain development, focusing on inflammation and oxidative stress as common denominators across various stressors. They emphasize the importance of healthy intrauterine environments for promoting fetal brain development and stress the need to reduce modifiable stress factors during pregnancy. Factors like maternal nutrition, gut microbiota, obesity, smoking,…
Michelle Pickens struggled with health issues since childhood, including severe digestive problems and fatigue, eventually diagnosed with Crohn’s disease in 2015.

Research suggests that analyzing temporal changes in speech could be a simple way of detecting mild cognitive impairment and identifying the risk of developing dementia. The Speech-Gap Test focuses on temporal speech parameters such as speech rate, hesitations, and silent pauses. It is a tool for initial screening, not diagnosis, to quickly flag patients with…
Dr. Peter Rentrop discusses how cutting-edge medical technologies are revolutionizing the field of cardiology. Innovations such as smart wearables with ECG capabilities, AI for enhanced diagnostics, telecardiology for remote care, minimally invasive procedures, and 3D printing for surgical planning are transforming the way heart health is approached. These advancements allow for continuous monitoring, more accurate…
Researchers have identified novel ultrasonographic markers for peri-implantitis by analyzing echo-intensity at implant sites. This study aims to improve diagnostic techniques for peri-implantitis, a common complication of dental implants. The findings highlight the potential of ultrasonography as a non-invasive tool for assessing peri-implant conditions. The researchers used cookies for analytics and to enhance site performance….
