A Rutgers Health study, published in Topics in Spinal Cord Injury Rehabilitation, evaluated the outcomes of participants in True Grit, a residential program offered by Rutgers School of Health Professions and RWJBarnabas Health's Children's Specialized Hospital, designed to give youth ages 14 to 21 with spinal cord injuries the tools to confidently enter adulthood.
Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis have developed a technique that researchers and clinicians can use to assess the reliability of medical imaging tools. The new method also may be useful for regulators who evaluate new AI-backed medical imaging tools as they come to market.
In response to reported medication errors that harmed patients in Nashville, the Society for Obstetric Anesthesia and Perinatology (SOAP), the Anesthesia Patient Safety Foundation (APSF) and the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) today reaffirmed that spinal anesthesia remains a safe and essential anesthetic technique when administered with appropriate medication. These devastating events…
University of Michigan researchers identified two pathways that can simultaneously be targeted to treat transdifferentiated prostate tumors. They hope that their findings can also be applied to other transdifferentiated cancers, including those in the lungs and pancreas.
Discussion panel on best practices for reporter boot camps, in-person visits, and science communications training programs.
Spinach, almonds, and sweet potatoes are celebrated as some of the healthiest foods on the planet. But for the millions of Americans living with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), a new study from the UNC School of Medicine suggests that these same foods may be quietly worsening gut inflammation through a compound most people have never heard of.
Australian researchers have identified a molecular switch that drives the spread of the most aggressive sub-type of breast cancer (triple-negative breast cancer), potentially paving the way for more effective treatments.
Inside every cell, thousands of proteins must reach the right place at the right time. Helping coordinate this complex logistics network are centriolar satellites--tiny, membrane-less organelles that play important roles in protein trafficking, cell division, and the formation of cilia.
MD rheumatologist to discuss recent study on high rates of arthritis related pain
Pediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network (PECARN) finds doctors may not always agree when identifying common signs of pneumoniaWhen a child has symptoms that could be pneumonia, doctors often listen to the child's lungs with a stethoscope to help make a diagnosis. But a new national study led by physician-scientists at Ann Robert H.
Results of a meta-analysis showed no evidence that MBCT increased odds of depressive symptom worsening relative to control conditions.
A long-standing rule in stem cell transplantation is being challenged. New ACCESS trial findings in Blood Advances show encouraging outcomes with younger, more genetically mismatched unrelated donors. Lead author Antonio Jimenez Jimenez, M.D., can discuss how the findings are reshaping donor selection and patient care.
Researchers from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and collaborating institutions have shown that a Mediterranean-style eating pattern adapted for people living in the Southeast can improve diet quality and support weight loss.The study, called DELISH (Delicious Eating for Life in Southern Homes), evaluated a "Med-South" dietary pattern that emphasizes nuts, vegetables oils, whole…
A large international study of more than 14,000 patients with non-small cell lung cancer found that younger adults were significantly more likely than older patients to have genetic alterations that can be targeted with existing therapies.
Women who receive health visitor support alongside smoking relapse prevention advice are more likely to remain smoke-free after childbirth, according to University of East Anglia (UEA) research.
Glycoprotein VI, or GPVI for short, is a surface receptor found exclusively on platelets and their precursor cells, megakaryocytes in the bone marrow. GPVI is primarily responsible for binding collagen at the site of an injured blood vessel, which triggers the activation and aggregation of platelets.
People living with severe mental illness face a substantially higher risk of dementia throughout adulthood, as well as a significantly elevated risk of stroke in early and middle adulthood, according to a large new study based on health records from Catalonia, Spain.
Researchers at Karolinska Institutet and Stockholm University have developed a new tool that estimates a cell's biological age by analysing its gene activity. In the journal Advanced Science, they also demonstrate how the tool can be used to identify substances that influence cellular ageing.

Cancer patients often face more than the disease itself. Their treatment is frequently complicated by infections and other health conditions, meaning they may need to take several different medications at once. As the number of prescribed drugs increases, so does the risk of interactions between them, which is why scientists are searching for solutions that could one day address multiple problems…
A new study suggests that Alzheimer's disease may be detected by brain imaging more than seven years earlier than previously assumed. Researchers from the Department of Psychology at the University of Oslo led the study, published in Nature Neuroscience.
The COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated how difficult it can be to maintain an overview of the current health situation without adequate digital infrastructure. This is where the team behind AtheneKI comes in. The system is designed to bring together large volumes of information, simulate crisis scenarios, and thereby help identify emerging problems earlier and support better decision-making.
