Simultaneously, it scrapped USAID funding, which had been helping millions of the poorest people in Africa survive amid expanding climate breakdown.
Those thinking of aligning with Trump’s agenda would do well to remember that the droughts, floods, and storms which have destroyed the lives and livelihoods of…

Is AI in medicine playing fair?
As artificial intelligence (AI) rapidly integrates into health care, a new study by researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai reveals that all generative AI models may recommend different treatments for the same medical condition based solely on a patient’s socioeconomic and demographic background.
Their findings, which are detailed in the April 7, 2025 online issue of Nature Medicine, highlight the importance of early detection and intervention to ensure that AI-driven care…

AI tool can track effectiveness of multiple sclerosis treatments
A new artificial intelligence (AI) tool that can help interpret and assess how well treatments are working for patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) has been developed by UCL researchers.
AI uses mathematical models to train computers using massive amounts of data to learn and solve problems in ways that can seem human, including to perform complex tasks like image recognition.
The tool, called MindGlide, can extract key information from brain images (MRI scans) acquired during the care of…

Diagnostic uncertainty in Parkinson’s disease: Study calls for improved diagnostic processes
A new study by the University of Turku and Turku University Hospital, Finland, found that a significant proportion of Parkinson’s disease diagnoses are later corrected. Up to one in six diagnoses changed after ten years of follow-up, and the majority of new diagnoses were made within two years of the original diagnosis.
A recent study published in Neurology reveals significant diagnostic instability in Parkinson’s disease, with 13.3% of diagnoses revised over a 10-year follow-up period. When…

Findings on T cell exhaustion: The body prepares early for mild to severe disease
Even in the case of uncomplicated infections, the body prepares itself early on for the possibility of a more severe course. A research team from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and Helmholtz Munich has now uncovered this mechanism. The scientists showed that, right at the onset of mild illness, the body also produces special T cells previously known only from chronic, severe infections and tumors.
There are different types of T cells in the body, all of which play a crucial role in…

Perceiving one’s own body: Babies sense their heartbeat and breathing
Body signals such as heartbeat and breathing accompany us constantly, often unnoticed as background noise of our perception. Even in the earliest years of life, these signals are important as they contribute to the development of self-awareness and identity. However, until know little has been known about whether and how babies can perceive their own body signals.
A recent study from Wiener Kinderstudien Lab at the University of Vienna demonstrates for the first time that babies as young as…

Researchers discover way to predict treatment success for parasitic skin disease
Nearly one million people worldwide are plagued annually by cutaneous leishmaniasis, a devastating skin infection caused by the Leishmania parasite. Predominantly affecting vulnerable populations in tropical and subtropical regions like North Africa and South America, this disease thrives in areas marked by malnutrition, poor housing and population displacement. Left untreated, it can lead to lifelong scars, debilitating disability and deep social stigma. Despite its global impact, there is…
