No, JNJ-42165279 did not improve depression in a clinical trial of people whose SSRI/SNRI was not working well enough.
Lab findings often don't translate to real-world HCC care due to tumor heterogeneity, racial disparities, and lack of validated biomarkers for routine use.
Yes, text-message CBT (CBT-txt) significantly reduces depressive symptoms in young adults with major depressive disorder, based on multiple randomized trials.

Yes, potassium salt substitutes lower blood pressure and reduce cardiovascular death risk, based on multiple reviews and trials.
Micro-ultrasound and mpMRI detect clinically significant prostate cancer at similar rates, so neither is clearly better; your choice depends on availability and your doctor's…
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.
