by University of Michigan Data from the National Poll on Healthy Aging about joint pain impacts on older adults. Credit: University of Michigan Popping a pill may bring short-term relief for arthritis-related joint pain, but many older adults may not realize that what they swallow could raise their risk of other health problems, or that other...
by Frontiers Credit: CC0 Public Domain There are currently no effective treatments for the core symptoms of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), such as difficulties with socializing and communicating. A new study uses a computer-based protein interaction network to identify whether existing drugs could provide a new treatment approach. The researchers discovered that a common anti-diarrheal drug...
