  • Broader antibiotic use could change the course of cholera outbreaks, research suggests

    Broader antibiotic use could change the course of cholera outbreaks, research suggests

    Cholera kills thousands of people and infects hundreds of thousands every year — and cases have spiked in recent years, leaving governments with an urgent need to find the best ways to control outbreaks.

    Current public health guidelines discourage treating cholera with antibiotics in all but the most severe cases, to reduce the risk that the disease will evolve resistance to the best treatments we have.

    But recent disease modeling research from University of Utah Health challenges that…

    Breast cancer mortality in women ages 20-49 significantly dropped between 2010 and 2020

    From 2010 to 2020, breast cancer deaths among women ages 20-49 declined significantly across all breast cancer subtypes and racial/ethnic groups, with marked declines starting after 2016, according to an analysis of data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) registry presented at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting 2025, held April 25-30.

    Breast cancer incidence rates in women aged 20 to 49 years have been increasing over the past 20 years…

  • Lower screening age calls for more tailored bowel cancer surveillance

    Lower screening age calls for more tailored bowel cancer surveillance

    Australia’s recent move to lower the starting age for bowel (colorectal) cancer screening from 50 down to 45 years old will mean better outcomes — but it will also increase the burden on an already struggling healthcare system, warn Flinders University researchers.

    They predict that the expanded screening program will likely lead to an influx of younger adults who will require ongoing surveillance with regular colonoscopies, prompting the team to review current clinical guidelines for at…

  • Once bitten, animals develop resistance that shrinks tick population

    Once bitten, animals develop resistance that shrinks tick population

    Just in time for tick season, new research is shining a light on how animals develop resistance to tick bites, which points toward the possibility of developing more effective vaccines against the tiny, disease-carrying bloodsuckers.

    In a study of “acquired tick resistance” among deer mice, rabbits and cattle, researchers at Washington State University found that once host animals were exposed to ticks, they developed resistance to bites that dramatically shrank the tick population going…

  • Seasonal changes affect alcohol tolerance and your waistline

    Seasonal changes affect alcohol tolerance and your waistline

    Nagoya University researchers in Japan have found that drug effectiveness, alcohol tolerance, and carbohydrate metabolism change with the seasons. Their findings are based on a comprehensive seasonal gene expression map, which investigated over 54,000 genes in 80 tissues in monkeys across one year. The study has implications for drug prescription and precision medicine.

    To cope with dynamic seasonal changes in the environment, animals, including humans, have evolved a biological clock that…
