Real questions from health communities, answered with cited research from PubMed and Vellito's article corpus. Plain language, no medical advice. How this works.
Genetic studies show that cannabis use and sleep disorders share specific genetic risks, particularly for insomnia and nighttime activity levels.
Yes, trauma exposure can cause epigenetic changes in stress and immune pathways, as shown by multiple studies.
Yes, polygenic risk scores (PRS) for anxiety and depression show stronger associations with comorbid anxiety-depression cases than with either disorder alone, suggesting shared…
Yes, a specific saliva test measuring IgA antibodies to EBNA1 protein can accurately predict NPC risk, with sensitivity up to 90% and specificity over 91%.
Yes, a large genetic study found that PTSD shares many genetic risk factors with other internalizing disorders like anxiety and depression, but also has unique genetic influences.
Yes, a meta-analysis of the VA Million Veterans Program identified 17 new genetic loci in European, 4 in African, and 3 in Hispanic veteran populations for Alzheimer's disease.
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.
