The Premier League is currently vulnerable to new investors and team owners who could have sourced their wealth from illicit activities.

Calorie labelling of food on menus and products leads people to choose slightly fewer calories finds a new Cochrane review co-led by UCL researchers.

An abortion following an unintended pregnancy is generally not the cause of mental health issues in young women.

People who speak with accents perceived as 'working-class' including those from Liverpool, Newcastle, Bradford and London risk being stereotyped as more likely to have committed a crime, and becoming victims of injustice, a new study suggests. Listeners think some accents sound guiltier than others and we should all be concerned about that Alice Paver Research led by the University of Cambridge, in collaboration with Nottingham Trent University, raises serious concerns about bias in the UK criminal justice system due to negative stereotyping of accents.

University of Queensland research has highlighted the need for specialised support services to help people with young onset dementia cope with giving up driving.

A new study led by the Royal Veterinary College (RVC) has shown positive clinical outcomes and quality of life for cats suffering from severe heart conditions through the implantation of epicardial pacemakers (EPs). The use of EP implantation to facilitate artificial cardiac pacing (ACP) effectively resolved symptoms including abnormally slow heart rates (bradyarrhythmia) in cats.
