Parkinson's patients undergoing deep brain stimulation show little to no cortical Lewy pat

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have found that patients with Parkinson's disease undergoing deep brain stimulation (DBS) show little to no Lewy pathology in the prefrontal cortex at the time of their DBS surgery, despite often having longstanding, clin

Human red blood cells form without central 'hub' seen in mouse models, upending understand

Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered that one of the body's most fundamental biological processes—how red blood cells are made—works differently in humans than previously thought, according to a new study published in Nature Genetics. The findings overturn decades of

Most breast imaging facilities in both high- and low-deprivation areas offer digital breas

New research has found that digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) availability at breast imaging facilities is similar across low- and high-deprivation areas, but facilities in low-deprivation areas are significantly more likely to offer weekend appointments, which may affect access

Placenta as property: Why every mother deserves the right to choose

In many cultures, the placenta is more than tissue left over after birth. It may be understood as spiritually linked to the baby, treated as a companion or sibling, and buried to protect the child or connect them to family and land.

Precision fMRI maps prefrontal cortex in individuals, revealing fine-scale structures

Much like camera settings—filters, flashes and focus—affect what we notice in a final photo, the way scientists measure something can affect how we interpret and understand it. This is especially true when imaging things that we can't see on our own, such as activity in the human

New adenomyosis atlas reveals lesion-specific signals that may spare healthy uterine tissu

Researchers at the University of Liverpool have identified distinctive biological characteristics within adenomyosis lesions that could help pave the way for more targeted, less invasive treatments. The findings from a team based in Professor Dharani Hapangama's gynecology resear

Interpreters do more than translate, and patient care suffers when systems ignore it

At its heart, health care is a conversation. A patient needs to explain what is wrong. They need to understand their options. They need to make decisions about their own care. Clinicians need clear information, too. They need to understand symptoms, explain risks, discuss treatme
