Accidental ingestion of medications left at home or ingestion of illicit substances causes life-threatening seizures in thousands of children each year in the United States. A recent study shows that the number of such cases has doubled in the last 15 years. In the latest study presented at the European Congress of Emergency Medicine, scientists […]
Dr. Levent Beker from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Koç University has once again received support from the European Research Council (ERC) for his research that focuses on improving the quality of our everyday lives. His previous project on an implant that can detect signs of heart failure and degradation in the body without […]
ADHD in adults remains a largely undiagnosed and misunderstood condition, often due to various misconceptions about it. In many cases, symptoms in adults may go unrecognized because they may be subtle or overlap with other conditions.

Your DNA is a mixture of your mother’s and father’s genes. However, when it comes to powering cells, recent research shows that the mother’s genes play a leading role. Although people inherit genetic material from both parents, up-to-date research shows that mitochondria, the energy factories in cells, are a fascinating exception. test published in the […]
Higher levels of HDL-C, called “good cholesterol,” have been shown to correlate with an increased risk of Alzheimer’s disease.
