ScienceAlert


Losing a mouthful of teeth, as can happen in older age, has been linked to a greater risk of dying from heart disease, stroke, and other fatal heart events in a new analysis.

Medically reviewed by Angela Ryan Lee, MDMedically reviewed by Angela Ryan Lee, MDHeart failure (HF) is a condition that occurs when there is a problem with the structure or function of your heart. This makes it difficult for your heart to pump blood throughout the body effectively. If you have heart failure, either your heart's lower chambers don't fill up efficiently with blood, or the heart is too weak to pump blood effectively to the rest of the body. However, the stage of heart failure you're in will dictate the severity of your symptoms. There are two complementary classification systems that...

Medically reviewed by Rafle Fernandez, MDMedically reviewed by Rafle Fernandez, MDA heart attack, medically known as a myocardial infarction, happens when something blocks the blood flow in an artery (blood vessel) that feeds the heart. This lack of blood flow to the heart damages the heart muscle and can cause a heart attack, resulting in symptoms like chest discomfort, shortness of breath, and nausea.Heart attacks are life-threatening and can lead to serious arrhythmias (abnormal heart rhythm) and heart failure. While atherosclerosis (buildup of plaque in the arteries) is the most common cause of a heart attack, several other lifestyle habits...

Your blood can tell you a lot about the health of your heart. You’re probably familiar with cholesterol testing and high “bad” cholesterol’s association with the buildup of plaque in the arteries. Arteries carry oxygenated blood to every part of the body, including heart muscle. High cholesterol is also associated with heart failure.

Peanut butter is so commonplace that we tend to take it for granted. Most of us have a jar of the stuff somewhere in our kitchens, and unless someone in your household has a peanut allergy, it's likely among the first things we reach for when we need a quick but filling breakfast or snack. And for many of us, peanut butter plays a big role in our childhood memories: What school kid didn't open a brown bag lunch and found a peanut butter and jelly sandwich or celery sticks filled with its sticky goodness?

In a scientific whodunnit, researchers have discovered the first known case of a large porbeagle shark eaten by a larger predator. In a groundbreaking study, scientists have used satellite tracking to identify a large shark as the predator of a pregnant porbeagle in the open sea near Bermuda. This incident highlights not only the unexpected predatory threats these endangered sharks face but also the complex interactions within the marine predator hierarchy that are just beginning to be understood.
