Real questions from health communities, answered with cited research from PubMed and Vellito's article corpus. Plain language, no medical advice. How this works.
The COVID-19 pandemic increased psychological distress among university students in sub-Saharan Africa, driven by isolation, economic hardship, and academic stress.
Current research indicates that while regulatory T cells are important for preventing pregnancy complications like pre-eclampsia, there are no safe or approved treatments…
Anti-VEGF treatment results in less nearsightedness than laser surgery for retinopathy of prematurity, with lower rates of high myopia and astigmatism.
Having hidradenitis suppurativa increases the risk of pre-eclampsia, but current research does not show a clear link to birth defects.
Yes, a history of pre-eclampsia is linked to a higher risk of later heart disease, likely due to early blood vessel damage that can be detected years after pregnancy.
Research shows Treg-targeting strategies are a new idea for pre-eclampsia, but current studies lack safety data or reported outcomes for pregnant patients.
High uric acid before 20 weeks is linked to higher risk of gestational diabetes and pre-eclampsia, but evidence is limited for predicting pre-eclampsia specifically.
Yes, research shows women with a history of pre-eclampsia have higher markers of subclinical atherosclerosis, including increased carotid artery thickness and impaired blood…
Yes, real-world data shows teclistamab causes infections in about 45% of patients, with severe infections in about 23%, which is lower than clinical trial rates.
Linvoseltamab may improve outcomes for relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma, with a 2025 indirect comparison showing longer survival and higher response rates than teclistamab, a…
In relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma patients taking teclistamab, about 57% experience any infection and about 28% have a severe (grade ≥3) infection, based on a meta-analysis.
The talquetamab and teclistamab combination shows a 79% overall response rate in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma with extramedullary disease, based on the phase 2…
Current research finds no overall genetic link between kidney function and Alzheimer disease, though some shared biological pathways may exist.
Research shows that having more brain reserve, such as from higher education, can help maintain cognitive function even when Alzheimer's disease pathology is present, even in…
Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) works by sending electrical impulses to the vagus nerve, which then modulates brain networks and neurotransmitters to reduce seizure frequency in…
Yes, deep learning models like MELD Graph and 3D-nnUNet can detect focal cortical dysplasia in pediatric drug-resistant epilepsy, with moderate accuracy and fewer false positives…
Prior brain surgery for epilepsy does not appear to change how well vagus nerve stimulation works for drug-resistant epilepsy, based on real-world data.
A 2024 systematic review found that treating male partners does not significantly reduce bacterial vaginosis recurrence compared to treating women alone, though adherence to…
Artificial intelligence helps kidney cancer patients by improving tumor detection on scans, planning robotic surgeries, and predicting surgical outcomes to reduce complications.
Yes, the 2025 EAU guidelines update kidney cancer care with new recommendations on stereotactic body radiotherapy, adjuvant therapy, and systemic treatments for clear-cell and…
Six weeks of reactive balance training is feasible for adults with chronic stroke and does not increase anxiety, though specific fall-risk improvements depend on individual…
About 32% of chronic stroke participants experienced musculoskeletal adverse events during moderate- to high-intensity walking training.
A 12-week dance program significantly improved quality of life and cognitive scores in chronic stroke patients, whereas the control group's scores declined over the same period.
Adding camrelizumab to standard treatments like TACE and targeted drugs significantly improves tumor response, disease control, and survival times for patients with unresectable…
We pull real patient questions from public Reddit health communities (r/AskDocs, r/diabetes, r/menopause, etc.). Each question is rewritten into a generic medical question (no personal details), then answered by an AI using only cited sources from Vellito's article database and PubMed. A second AI independently scores each answer for accuracy and citation fidelity before publication. Answers below the safety threshold or touching emergency, dosing, or pediatric topics are queued for human review and never auto-published.
