Anew study led by Yale researchers has found that a common genetic variant that occurs in nearly 20% of individuals influences both susceptibility to COVID-19 and the development of severe disease.
Screening for psychological distress can significantly reduce cardiovascular disease risk and improve quality of life.
Bypass surgery performed on arteries leading to the legs was associated with a lower risk of cardiac events among patients with peripheral arterial disease who are candidates for two types of revascularization therapy, new research suggests.
A nutrient that is common in the human diet has been found to aid the survival of a cancer-causing bacterium, a new Yale study finds.
The number of non-fatal car accidents that involve prescription opioids has dropped significantly in recent years, suggesting efforts to curb use are working.
