A successful diagnostic algorithm developed by McMaster University researchers that can both detect deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and reduce the need for ultrasound scans has been published in The BMJ.
A new proposal developed by an interdisciplinary team of McMaster University researchers calls upon Canadian public health officials to make necessary changes to how novel antibiotics are approved, procured and accessed in Canada.
Scientists at McMaster University who have developed an inhaled form of COVID vaccine have confirmed it can provide broad, long-lasting protection against the original strain of SARS-CoV-2 and variants of concern.
When people feel sleepy or alert, that sensation is controlled in part by the ebb and flow of a 24-hour rhythm of their body temperature. Bioengineers at The University of Texas at Austin have developed a unique mattress and pillow system that uses heating and cooling to tell the body it is time to go to sleep.
Individuals who are obese may be more susceptible to severe COVID-19 because of a poorer inflammatory immune response, say Cambridge scientists.
More donated hearts could be suitable for transplantation if they are kept functioning within the body for a short time following the death of the donor, new research has concluded.
About 37,000 years ago, a mother mammoth and her calf met their end at the hands of human beings.
Hunter-gatherers can help us understand the conditions that children may be psychologically adapted to because we lived as hunter-gatherers for 95% of our evolutionary history. Paying greater attention to hunter-gatherer childhoods may help economically developed countries improve education and wellbeing.
A new study has found that greater body fat is a risk factor for reduced cognitive function, such as processing speed, in adults.
One in ten early deaths could be prevented if everyone managed at least half the recommended level of physical activity, say a team led by researchers at the University of Cambridge.
New data from McMaster researchers provides compelling evidence reinforcing booster doses of COVID-19 vaccines for residents of long-term care homes, retirement homes and assisted living facilities.
Mental health problems such as depression are most common in the hospitality and real estate sectors, but – at least prior to the COVID-19 pandemic – were on the increase across the board, according to new research.
Changes in sleep patterns during late pregnancy and shortly afterwards are closely related to severe depression and anxiety, a new McMaster-led study finds.
Two new images from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope show what may be among the earliest galaxies ever observed.
A McMaster University study has found that adults over age 50 who experience mild or moderate COVID-19 are at increased risk of worsening mobility and physical function, even in the absence of hospitalization for the virus.
Trans and non-binary adults are more likely than the general population to experience long-term health conditions, including mental health problems, dementia and learning disabilities, and to be autistic, according to new research.
A study led by a McMaster University researcher is warning that forceps and vacuum deliveries are causing serious trauma to both newborns and mothers.
Scientists have uncovered what sets the masses of stars, a mystery that has captivated astrophysicists for decades. Their answer? Stars, themselves.
Tohid Didar and Jeff Weitz had a solution, but they also had a problem.
A major international trial has concluded that, where possible, surgeons should replace the removed section of the skull following surgery to treat a form of brain haemorrhage. This approach will save patients from having to undergo skull reconstruction further down the line.
