“Exploitative” online money gaming in India is harming people’s financial and mental health and causing deep social problems, a new study shows.

The Global Virus Network issued a statement on the newly confirmed outbreak of Marburg virus disease (MVD) in southern Ethiopia. 

This cohort study observed substantial increases in acute health care utilization, especially virtual care-seeking following the Los Angeles fires. As disruptive climate events increase, such data are essential to inform health care preparedness and response.

Researchers from the Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Institute have produced the first national estimate of how many medical students would be affected by new federal loan restrictions imposed by the 2025 One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA). Their findings suggest the reforms are likely to place substantial financial barriers on aspiring physicians, potentially reducing workforce diversity and worsening existing physician shortages.

UC San Diego study shows data-driven surgical supply lists can cut waste, save millions and improve efficiency without compromising patient safety.

Scientists have discovered how a mitochondrial mutation rewires immune function in a model of inherited primary mitochondrial disorders, which often lead to severe disability and death. They have discovered that this single inherited mutation causes whole-body issues in an animal model after its immune response is sparked into action.

Although the scientists stress the research is at a relatively early stage, it is one of the first pieces of work to show that a heritable mitochondrial DNA mutation can independently remodel immune cell function and inflammatory signalling. 

It thus offers a plausible hypothesis as to why individuals with inherited primary mitochondrial disorders often experience problems with multiple organs and suffer repeated infections and sepsis. Additionally, it puts a potential target on specific links in the immune response chain that offer the greatest potential for therapeutic success.

A new evidence brief, based on a study by the Juno Evidence Alliance conducted in collaboration with CABI’s One Health Hub, has highlighted that a One Health approach is needed in research into zoonotic disease risks around the world.
