While there are many factors at play here, the gloomy statistic isn’t made any better by the fact that the warning signs are often reluctant to rear their […]

In a recent study published in the journal Cell, researchers identify lipidomes as four cluster of differentiation 1 (CD1) antigen-presenting molecules and, as a result, reveal a map of self-lipid display. Study: CD1 lipidomes reveal lipid-binding motifs and size-based antigen-display mechanisms.

Researchers have developed a wearable optical device for early detection of hemorrhage during labor or after childbirth. This serious heavy bleeding can be hard to detect before it becomes an emergency and accounts for almost 30% of maternal deaths globally and just over 10% of maternal deaths in the United States. Studies have shown that early diagnosis and treatment for […]

Continuous wrist temperature monitoring can uncover insights into the potential for future disease risk for ailments like type 2 diabetes, hypertension, liver disease, kidney failure, and more. These new findings from Perelman School of Medicine researchers, recently published in “Nature Communications,” shows that accurate, continued digital monitoring of skin temperature can give deeper medical insights. Previously, disrupted temperature rhythms had […]

Immunotherapy, which uses the body’s own immune system to fight cancer, is an effective treatment option, yet many patients do not respond to it. Thus, cancer researchers are seeking new ways to optimize immunotherapy so that it is more effective for more people. Now, Salk Institute scientists have found that manipulating an early step in energy production in mitochondria—the cell’s […]

Poor adherence to medication is a real challenge in healthcare. Despite evidence indicating therapeutic benefit from adhering to a prescribed regimen, it is estimated that around 50% of patients around the world don’t take their medication as it is prescribed — and some simply don’t take them at all. Nonadherence to medication can be primary or secondary. Primary medication nonadherence […]

TOPLINE: A 2-point improvement in pain based on a numeric rating scale may indicate that patients are responding to treatment for pyoderma gangrenosum. METHODOLOGY: To help determine whether a patient with pyoderma gangrenosum is responding to treatment, researchers used a patient global assessment (PGA) score to establish a minimal important difference (MID) in the measure of pain. The MID was […]

Telehealth has breathed new life into the idea of house calls, and now doctors’ paper prescription pads are also getting a much-needed digital makeover.  E-prescribing, which has been around for years, has already been proven to reduce errors, save time and improve outcomes.1 The opioid crisis, which caused a record 110,236 U.S. deaths in 2022, however, has spurred federal and […]

A new editorial paper titled “Potential repurposing of DPP4 inhibitors for target therapy resistance in renal cell carcinoma” has been published in Oncotarget. In their new editorial, researchers Kuniko Horie and Satoshi Inoue from Saitama Medical University and Tokyo Metropolitan Institute for Geriatrics and Gerontology discuss renal cell carcinoma (RCC)—a major adult kidney cancer, which is often incidentally discovered as […]
