Research reveals that a low-sodium diet significantly lowers blood pressure, benefiting individuals with or without hypertension and those on blood pressure medications. Lowering sodium intake significantly reduced blood pressure in most people, even those who were already taking blood pressure

Collaboration and knowledge sharing amongst rare disease researchers can be difficult, as these researchers are often spread out throughout the world.

In a large study of more than 9,000 pregnant people from across the U.S., researchers at University of Utah Health have found that cannabis exposure during pregnancy is associated with a composite measure of unhealthy pregnancy outcomes, especially low birth weight.

Scripps Research scientists have developed an innovative artificial intelligence (AI) model aimed at enhancing clinicians’ ability to screen patients for atrial fibrillation (AFib), a condition characterized by an irregular, rapid heartbeat linked to stroke and heart failure.

Lymphatic fluid from surgical drains, which is usually tossed in the trash, is a treasure in the hands of University of Pittsburgh and Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis researchers who found that this liquid could inform more precise treatments for patients with head and neck cancer caused by human papillomavirus (HPV).
