Detailed knowledge of probabilities can make dangerous risks seem far less risky, a new study reports.
New machine learning models assess the connection between hundreds of clinical variables, including doctor visits and health records for seemingly unconnected conditions, to predict the likelihood of ASD in young children.
A new meta-analysis focuses on what we know, and what we don't know about what's good and bad for our health.
Oxytocin, a hormone connected with bonding and love, could help to heal damage following a heart attack.

Mice with the Alzheimer's disease-associated APOE4 and the APOE2 genes were more likely to die from COVID-19 than those with the APOE3 gene. Those with APOE4 and APOE2 genes had more virus replication in the lungs, higher inflammation, and increased tissue damage following coronavirus infection.
While the incorporation of healthier legumes and fruits into diets improved over time, dietary quality was offset by the consumption of unhealthy components, such as processed meats and sugar-sweetened drinks.
