A randomized clinical trial compared tirzepatide with intensified standard care approaches in adults with a recent type 2 diabetes (T2D) diagnosis that was not adequately controlled on metformin alone.

Private equity investment in health care requires increased regulatory oversight and policies to better protect patients and physicians from the adverse impact of growing corporate interests, says the American College of Physicians (ACP).

A report comparing the Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drug Company (MCCPDC) to copayments or coinsurance under employer-sponsored insurance found that patients with high-cost generic prescriptions could lower their out-of-pocket costs from $140 to $25 by bypassing their insurance and using MCCPDC.

A new hydrogen sensor consumes virtually no power until the moment it detects a leak, overcoming a fundamental inefficiency of conventional monitoring systems. While hydrogen offers a clean energy alternative, its colorless, odorless, and highly flammable nature demands continuous surveillance, which drains batteries and increases maintenance.

Chulalongkorn University congratulates Mr. Phataradon Akarach, Mr. Ratanon Khamrong, and Mr. Settapun Laoaree, first-year students in the Computer Engineering and Digital Technology (CEDT) program at the Faculty of Engineering's Department of Computer Engineering. The team was selected to develop the national platform "PMUC Zero Burn to Earn," which has since been successfully launched and implem…

Inspired by the widely used and user-friendly COVID-19 strip test kits, a team of science students from Chulalongkorn University has developed a test kit for detecting pathogens in milk and dairy products. The team combined the LAMP technique with strip test technology to create a simple screening tool for harmful bacteria that can be easily used by the public.

Research team at Macau University of Science and Technology is developing AI-driven early-warning systems that detect weak disease signals earlier, speed up cancer diagnosis, and support more precise treatment decisions across cancer, aging, vision, and women's health.

Excess phosphorus discharge remains a major cause of eutrophication, yet wastewater treatment plants often struggle to meet stricter discharge limits without heavy chemical use. A new study introduces a low-dose, slow-release lanthanum strategy that strengthens the biological engine already operating inside treatment reactors.

A new study presents a neural-network method for building efficient portfolios while keeping the allocation process interpretable. Instead of treating asset correlations as a black box, the model learns how to clean noisy collective market patterns and respects the symmetries of covariance matrices.

Ozone-based water treatment is widely used to remove pollutants, odors, color, and pathogens, yet one of its most important chemical engines has remained uncertain: how efficiently ozone reactions generate hydroxyl radicals (*OH), the highly reactive species that drive advanced oxidation.

An overview of sepsis symptoms, treatment, care, efforts to improve treatment, and prevention, in the wake of a NASCAR superstar's death.

Scientists have long known that electric fields can guide cell movement by a process called electrotaxis. However, most studies rely on electrodes that touch the cell medium, creating currents that complicate the biochemistry. Now, researchers designed a wireless platform that delivers a unidirectional electric field (Wi-uEF) without measurable current. Using this system, they discovered that hum…

Most people think health begins with personal choices: diet, exercise, doctor visits, or medications. But according to Dean Sandro Galea of the WashU School of Public Health, those factors may only scratch the surface.

A new study by the Singapore Management University (SMU) Centre for Research on Successful Ageing (ROSA) has found that despite relatively high awareness of the Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA), many Singaporeans may be legally unprepared for cognitive decline and medical crises.

A University of Nebraska-Lincoln student project that investigated the overcrowding, understaffing and other multilayered issues confronting Nebraska's prison system took home the College Journalism Award at the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Book and Journalism Awards on May 20.

Blacks, Hispanics and Asians use asthma inhalers less than whites, suggesting that socioeconomic factors and lack of access to specialty care are at the root of this gap.

Physicians, scientists, and trainees from the University of Chicago Medicine Comprehensive Cancer Center (UCCCC) will highlight clinical trial results, patient care education sessions, and more during the 2026 ASCO Annual Meeting, which takes place May 29-June 2, 2026 at McCormick Place in Chicago.

At her first commencement as the seventh president of the State University of New York at Stony Brook, Andrea Goldsmith declared, "we look forward to seeing all that you will achieve, and the profound impact you will have on the world in the years ahead! With your outstanding Stony Brook education and the extraordinary Seawolf culture and spirit you will always carry, we know that you will chang…

The American College of Radiology supports passage of the Medicare Access to Radiology Care Act (S. 4624). "MARCA" calls for Medicare payment directly to the radiologists for services in which radiologist assistants (RAs) participated. MARCA would enable RAs to furnish services when delegated by and under the supervision of a radiologist in jurisdictions authorizing radiologist assistants to prac…

A new concentration and certificate program give students and professionals added opportunities for training in a rapidly evolving field.
