Researchers led by the University of Iowa have found that women who spend less sedentary time and engage in more light physical activity may substantially reduce a key pregnancy health risk. The study authors recommend a daily mix of movement and sleep, along with a cap on sedentary time, to lower the risk of hypertensive disorders in pregnancy. Results published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine.

The University of Maryland School of Medicine is receiving $1 million in grant funding through the Maryland Department of Commerce to establish a Center for Combat Casualty Care with the University of Maryland R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center. The Center will include a 5,000-square-foot Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) for the research and development of new tools and treatments, and the training of military clinicians.

UT Health San Antonio has developed a tool to evaluate children's health symptoms from environmental exposures called the PediQEESI™ that can be used by parents and doctors to screen for chemical intolerance and help avoid future exposures.

Stanford Medicine researchers and colleagues found a way to boost the cancer-fighting abilities of natural killer cells. In mice, the enhanced cells penetrated solid tumors and inhibited their growth.

Breakbone fever. The nickname alone attests to the pain that dengue fever can cause. About half the people who get the virus are asymptomatic. But for the rest, an infection can be excruciating, even life-threatening, and there is no treatment.

Fewer than one in four people with stroke and fewer than one in seven people with traumatic brain injury receive inpatient rehabilitation care after being hospitalized, according to a study published on June 10, 2026, in Neurology^® Open Access, an official journal of the American Academy of Neurology.

A new report in the American Journal of Human Genetics describes a novel disorder caused by biallelic loss-of-function variants in the TMEM63B gene, which results in severe lung disease. Researchers at Texas Children’s, Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions in Asia and Europe explain how this disorder presented in five individuals from four unrelated families.

To better understand what drives the emergence of symptoms in Rett syndrome, researchers at the Duncan Neurological Research Institute (Duncan NRI) at Texas Children's and Baylor College of Medicine took a closer look at brain cells in mice modeling Rett syndrome before symptoms appeared. They identified a set of dysfunctional genes and specific cell types that are vulnerable early on to genetic changes. The study appears in Science Advances.
