    Mindfulness and cognitive behavioral therapy improve chronic low back pain

    The list of treatments for low back pain is endless, but few offer relief for the one in four Americans who suffer from this persistent pain and leading cause of disability globally. More than 80% of those with chronic low back pain wished there were better treatment options. Yet, without sufficient pain relief, many people need to take opioids, which can be addictive.

    The good news? A multi-institutional team, led by researchers from the Penn State College of Medicine and the University of…

    Researchers use AI to improve diagnosis of drug-resistant infections

    Drug-resistant infections — especially from deadly bacteria like tuberculosis and staph — are a growing global health crisis. These infections are harder to treat, often require more expensive or toxic medications and are responsible for longer hospital stays and higher mortality rates. In 2021 alone, 450,000 people developed multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, with treatment success rates dropping to just 57%, according to the World Health Organization.

    Now, Tulane University scientists…

    Pulmonary sarcoidosis is a lung disease characterized by granulomas — tiny clumps of immune cells that form in response to inflammation. It’s the most inflammatory of the interstitial lung diseases (ILDs), a family of conditions that all involve some level of inflammation and fibrosis, or scarring, of the lungs. In the U.S., pulmonary sarcoidosis affects around 200,000 patients. The cause is unknown, and no new treatments have been introduced in the past 70 years.

  • Childhood experiences shape the brain’s white matter with cognitive effects seen years later

    Childhood experiences shape the brain’s white matter with cognitive effects seen years later

    Mass General Brigham investigators have linked difficult early life experiences with reduced quality and quantity of the white matter communication highways throughout the adolescent brain. This reduced connectivity is also associated with lower performance on cognitive tasks. However, certain social resiliency factors like neighborhood cohesion and positive parenting may have a protective effect. Results are published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).

    Trump Calls Gaza “Oceanfront Property” Israel Gave Away — History Says, Not So Fast

    U.S. President Donald Trump just dropped another head-scratcher. At a press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House, Trump referred to Gaza as “incredible real estate” and “oceanfront property” that Israel once “gave up.”

    That’s right — in Trump’s version of history, Israel just handed over Gaza to the native Palestinians like a generous landlord leaving behind beachside condos. He even floated the idea of expelling native…
