When people envision Olympic athletes, they often picture individuals standing on the podium with a gold medal around their neck. However, the road to Olympic success is paved with uncertainty and disappointment for most athletes. Achieving success at the Olympic Games requires a commitment to dedicated training for speed, strength, and mastery of technique. But

A lesser-known compound found in cannabis plants is gaining traction in the medical world. The first human clinical trial to test how cannabigerol (CBG) impacts anxiety and stress has yielded positive results among participants. CBG, often referred to as the “mother of all cannabinoids,” can rapidly metabolize into CBD and THC. This recent trial showed

Type 2 diabetes affects over half a billion people globally, and while there is no cure, lifestyle modifications can help manage the condition. Recently, the National Health Service (NHS) in England conducted a year-long program that demonstrated how changing one’s diet to include soups and shakes can lead to remission in 32 percent of patients.

The latest study conducted by the American Cancer Society has revealed some alarming trends in the rates of cancer cases among younger generations. The research, which analyzed data from over 23 million US patients born between 1920 and 1990, found that Gen Xers and millennials are at a significantly higher risk for developing certain types

Recent research conducted by the Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) has shed light on the potential benefits of adding fish oil to the daily diet, particularly in relation to brain health. The study focused on a cohort of 102 adults between the ages of 75 and 95 who showed signs of neurological damage in

The prevalence of oral diseases, including tooth decay and gum disease, is a major concern worldwide. These conditions impact an estimated 3.5 billion people globally, leading to significant health complications if left untreated. Not only do oral diseases cause pain, infection, and tooth loss, but they also have a bidirectional relationship with serious systemic conditions

In the world of athletics, athletes are always on the lookout for ways to gain a competitive advantage. One such method that has gained popularity in recent years is the consumption of beetroot. Whether it’s juiced, eaten whole, or consumed in powdered form, beetroot is believed to enhance performance. But is there any truth to

Recent research in the field of neuroscience has shed light on potential locations in the brain where schizophrenia may first emerge. Through a groundbreaking analytical process called ‘epicenter mapping’, a team of international researchers studied the brain scans of over 1,000 individuals with schizophrenia and compared them to those of healthy controls. While the data

For centuries, Native Americans have turned to cranberries as a natural remedy for bacterial infections, particularly those affecting the bladder. In modern times, unsweetened cranberry juice has been touted as a potential treatment for urinary tract infections (UTIs). However, the scientific community has been divided on the efficacy of this age-old remedy. While some researchers

Intravenous (IV) fluids play a crucial role in the healthcare system, especially when administering drugs directly into the veins. The recent shortage of IV fluids in Australia, particularly saline and compound sodium lactate (Hartmann’s solution), has raised questions about why these fluids are essential and why they cannot be easily interchanged when one runs low.

The recent study conducted by researchers at the Washington University School of Medicine sheds light on the effects of psilocybin on brain networks. The findings reveal that the connections within established brain networks were disrupted, while the communication between networks was increased. This leads to a state of unpredictability in ordinary information processing in the

In a groundbreaking achievement, a 58-year-old man in the United States has become the first person in the world to receive a temporary titanium artificial heart. Created by BiVACOR, this metal organ is designed to fully replace the function of a human heart for as long as possible. Unlike traditional artificial hearts, BiVACOR’s Total Artificial

Dementia is a debilitating condition that affects millions of people worldwide, robbing individuals of their memories, cognitive abilities, language skills, and independence. Recent studies have highlighted the potential for preventing or delaying dementia by addressing various risk factors, such as smoking, air pollution, high blood pressure, depression, and more. While the idea of preventing nearly

Artificial intelligence has long been a subject of both fascination and concern, with many questioning its capabilities in fields such as storytelling and filmmaking. However, recent research has shown that AI can be incredibly useful in the field of science, particularly in predicting the progression of diseases like Alzheimer’s. A study conducted by the University
