Former soldier Brendan Hynes thinks he has CTE, but the devastating brain disease can't be confirmed until after someone's dead. Could cutting-edge Canadian research be the solution?

New Ontario research shows women with traumatic brain injuries are far less likely to be admitted for trauma care than men, raising questions over why patients with similar, life-altering injuries may be receiving less-specialized treatment.

The laundry list of possible health benefits from GLP-1 drugs seems to get longer by the day, from cancer prevention to combating addiction. But while there's no question these medications show immense promise beyond their use for diabetes and weight loss, science is still catching up.

A Toronto-based team is launching a massive, years-long research project to study liquid biopsies, a novel technology meant to catch tiny traces of tumour DNA in the blood. The goal? Finding better ways to protect cancer survivors from having the disease come back, while sparing some from enduring costly, invasive treatments.

New Health Canada research found a six per cent increase in headache-related hospital trips linked to particulate matter from wildfires, suggesting periods of smoke-filled air may precede severe headache episodes that require emergency care.

One out of every 10 emergency physicians in Canada have left their specialty, while the vast majority of others are reducing their hours or taking time off to manage burnout. The findings, part of a study out Monday in the Canadian Medical Association Journal, are based on a 2025 cross-country survey of hundreds of emergency medicine doctors.

More than 3,800 cases have been recorded in eastern Congo, with some 1,700 deaths, according to latest figures

At least one in four National Football League (NFL) players had evidence of chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE, at the time of their death, finds a new study from one of the American research teams at the forefront of studying this devastating brain disease.
