Scientists have found that antidepressants and other psychiatric drugs can change the quantity and composition of gut bacteria in rats. These results raise questions about the specificity of psychoactive drug action, and if confirmed in humans whether psychiatrists might need to consider the effects on the body before prescribing. The research team is currently carrying out a large-scale human...

Nearly 90% of those in the largest-to-date study of patients with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome had elevated levels of a specific autoantibody. The finding both adds significantly to the evidence that POTS is an autoimmune disorder, and identifies a key biomarker that might allow diagnosis with a simple blood test.
Scientists have described a key component of the nerve biology system -- the brake, or 'clamp,' that prevents the fusion pore from completing its formation and opening.
The number of women with high blood pressure when they become pregnant or who have it diagnosed during the first 20 weeks of pregnancy has spiked in the United States since 1979. Women getting pregnant later in life contributes to this upward trend. High blood pressure during pregnancy affects black women at more than twice the rate of white women.
Researchers report they have developed and validated a tablet-based app that offers a faster, easier and more accurate way for health care providers who don't have specialized training to assess the cognitive function of people with multiple sclerosis (MS). Multiple sclerosis is a chronic neurologic illness that affects the central nervous system, resulting in a variety of symptoms including motor...
