UCSF and Johns Hopkins University announced the addition of 1.4 million documents to their Opioid Industry Documents Archive from Mallinckrodt, a leading generic opioid manufacturer now in bankruptcy.
An antiviral drug approved for high-risk COVID patients may also benefit those with long COVID, according to the findings of a small case series that need to be confirmed with future rigorous studies.
A national study that enrolled a highly diverse group of pregnant women over 12 years found rising exposure to chemicals from plastics and pesticides that may be harmful to development.
When exploring a new environment, mice make use of a unique long-distance connection in the brain that prompts them to pay attention to the most salient features of the environment, according to new UCSF research.
Nearly half of obstetrics and gynecology residency programs in the U.S. may lack abortion training if Roe v. Wade is overturned in an upcoming Supreme Court decision, according to a new study by UC San Francisco and UCLA.
In a study, UCSF neurologist William Seeley, MD, and colleagues identified two key moments in the natural history of Alzheimer’s, pointing to a window of opportunity for treatment with amyloid-lowering drugs.
Brain tumor patients survived longer when treated aggressively with surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. Now, a UCSF study underscores the critical role of genomic profiling in diagnosing and grading brain tumors.
In a recent study, UCSF researchers looked at the efficacy of hybrid and virtual delivery of cardiac rehabilitation (CR). They found that virtual and hybrid CR services produced similar improvements in patient function as in-person CR.
Recently released data from the Centers for Disease Control show childhood autism rates are at their highest level since the CDC began tracking data in 2000.
This study is believed to be the first to report the rate of dementia in Native Americans using a nationwide sample, the researchers stated in their paper.
Black youth who attend racially segregated schools are more likely to have behavior problems and to drink alcohol than Black youth in less segregated schools, according to a UCSF study published in Pediatrics.
Skin diseases both common and rare can be better diagnosed and treated using genetic fingerprinting based on knowledge gained through a new UCSF study, according to researchers who developed new approaches for using the latest techniques to analyze gene activity in cells obtained from affected skin.
A new UCSF-led study showed that people who are vaccinated against COVID-19, and have a history of certain psychiatric conditions, have a heightened risk of infection – a finding that may be related to impaired immune response.
About half of young adults had mental health symptoms during the pandemic and more than a third of those were unable to access mental health therapy, a new UC San Francisco study found.
Scientists at UC San Francisco and Imperial College London found that psilocybin fosters greater connections between different regions of the brain in depressed people, freeing them up from long-held patterns of rumination and excessive self-focus.
The findings contradict the common notion that Alzheimer’s patients sleep during the day to make up for a bad night of sleep and point toward potential therapies to help these patients feel more awake.
In order to validate surgical decisions for gender-affirming facial srugery pursued by transgender individuals, researchers from the UC San Francisco and the University of Calgary set out to quantify the effect of sex on adult facial size and shape through an analysis of three-dimensional (3D) facial surface images.
