The gut microbiomeover 100 trillion microorganisms, communicates with the brain via the gut–brain axis, influencing mood, cognition, immunity, and stress regulation. Dysbiosis is linked to depression, anxiety, autism spectrum disorders, and neurodegenerative diseases, emphasizing its critical role in mental and neurological health.
See what thyroid function tests measure, including TSH, Free T3, and Free T4. Learn how these blood tests diagnose thyroid disorders and monitor thyroid health.
Out of so many mental disorders, a rare disorder is the Fregoli delusion or Fregoli syndrome (FS), in which an individual holds a delusional belief that different people are in fact a single person, who keeps on changing appearances quickly or is in disguise. People affected with this condition often experience anxiety, paranoia, and agitation. It can impact the patient’s mental health and their safety and the safety of others.

Environmental endocrine disruptors (EEDs) are natural and synthetic chemicals that interfere with endocrine system function by altering hormone synthesis, transport, metabolism, and receptor binding.
How is sickle cell disease diagnosed? See the laboratory tests used to identify haemoglobin variants and understand common sickle cell results.
HIV testing is the process of determining whether a person has been infected with human immunodeficiency virus. Depending on the test, HIV testing can detect antibodies produced by the immune system, the HIV p24 antigen, or HIV RNA. Different tests have different detection window periods, and a reactive screening result requires appropriate follow-up testing before an HIV diagnosis is established.
Antibiotic resistance is making common infections hard to treat. Learn why it happens, how it affects communities in Nigeria and beyond, and what we can do to protect these life-saving medicines.
Artificial Intelligence AI with it’s widespread use in various sectors has also taken a dive into healthcare by transforming clinical practice and improving patient care.
A Full Blood Count (FBC) is a blood test that measures different types of blood cells and related parameters, including red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, haemoglobin, haematocrit and red blood cell indices. It can help healthcare professionals investigate conditions such as anaemia, infection, inflammation and certain blood disorders.
What if one of the most powerful models for understanding the human brain were less than an inch long, transparent, and living in a small tank? Meet Danio rerio, the zebrafish.
Ageing is accompanied by a gradual decline in physiological functions, among which deterioration of the immune system termed immunosenescence—has profound implications for human health.
According to a study, sleeping in a dark room works wonders for your heart. During sleep, ambient light can put stress on the brain that causes arterial inflammation, which may again lead to a stroke or heart attack. Let us delve into and explore the study further.
