C-section, maternal history of allergic diseases linked to allergic rhinitis in offspring
Maternal cesarean section (CS) and maternal history of allergic diseases (MHAD) are independent and synergistic risk factors for allergic rhinitis (AR) in offspring, according to a study published online June 20 in the International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology.
Little hits in sports may be just as dangerous as concussions—and can lead to brain damage
The recent Four Corners episode exposed the devastating impacts of degenerative brain disease chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and its link with contact sports, primarily Australian rules football.
Billions of doses later: Global review confirms mRNA vaccines are safe, effective and full
A sweeping global review led by researchers at the University of British Columbia has found that mRNA vaccines—now administered billions of times worldwide—are safe and highly effective at preventing infectious diseases like COVID-19, and have potential applications for a range o
Stepped alcohol treatment via telehealth reduces alcohol use
Stepped alcohol treatment (SAT) offered via telehealth helps people with chronic liver disease (CLD) reduce alcohol consumption, according to a study published online June 24 in Hepatology.
GLP-1 medications linked to fewer deaths and amputations in people with type 2 diabetes an
According to new, independent research published in the Journal of the American Heart Association, GLP-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) medications reduce the number of deaths, amputations and hospitalizations among people with type 2 diabetes who also have narrowed leg arteries ass
Innovative soft robotic heart offers new way to study disease and test life-saving devices
Researchers at UNSW Sydney have developed a fully synthetic soft robotic heart that reproduces the complex movements and internal structures of the human heart, opening the door to better treatments, safer medical devices and more personalized care.
Researchers improve analysis of molecules linked to Alzheimer's disease
Researchers at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering and the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory have shown how higher magnetic fields can improve analysis of the molecules linked to Alzheimer's disease, a finding that could aid the development of future treatments.
One gene, two diseases: Study reveals opposing dementia and cancer risks
Researchers at the University of Kentucky Sanders-Brown Center on Aging have uncovered evidence that a single genetic variant may influence the risk of two of the diseases people fear most—dementia and cancer—but in opposite ways.
DNA damage can trigger neurons to self-destruct
Over the past decade, researchers at WashU Medicine have established that a molecule called SARM1 is a central trigger in the loss of axons, the vital wiring of the nervous system. Axon loss is characteristic of many neurodegenerative diseases, such as amyotrophic lateral scleros
Novel biomarker beats leading diagnostic blood test at predicting Alzheimer's progression
Small loops of genetic material may be strong indicators of imminent Alzheimer's disease (AD) symptoms. In a new study published in Nature Medicine, researchers showed that elevated levels of certain circular RNAs (circRNAs) in the blood nearly tripled patients' risk of developin
A new framework to advocate for improving the quality of life of people with rheumatic and
Rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases (RMDs) contribute significantly to the disability and health care burden in Europe, but until now there has been no harmonized, specific data set to help systematically compare differences in rheumatology workforces, health resources and acc
