Oxalate buildup triggers systemic inflammation and cardiac damage, study shows

People with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have a significantly increased risk of death from cardiovascular disease. They also suffer from chronic inflammation, the causes of which are still only partly understood. Oxalic acid (oxalate) has so far been known primarily for its role

Second prostate-specific membrane antigen PET scan can change treatment for nearly half of

A second prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET scan changed treatment plans for nearly half of patients whose first scan was negative, according to new research published in the July issue of The Journal of Nuclear Medicine. Findings from the repeat PSMA scans, which incl

Economic evaluation supports prophylactic naldemedine for opioid-induced constipation in c

Although opioids remain indispensable for pain relief in patients with advanced cancer, their use frequently results in OIC, which can substantially reduce quality of life and, in some cases, compromise the continuation of optimal pain management. Naldemedine, a peripherally acti

Mouse study uncovers how transcription factors HIF1α and HIF2α regulate different aspects

Skeletal muscles—responsible for movement, joint stabilization and postural support—are highly metabolically active and heavily reliant on oxygen during physical activity. However, conditions such as high-intensity exercise or sustained exertion frequently expose skeletal muscles

Cellular recycling protein plays critical protective role in the gut

Australian researchers have discovered that even a modest reduction in the protein BECLIN1 leads to a significant increase in gut inflammation, which can lead to further disease and complications over time.

Contact-free sensors could help track movement symptoms in Parkinson's disease

Disease progression in people with Parkinson's disease can be accurately monitored using sensors, removing some of the limitations of wearable technologies, a new study reports. In the study published in the Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, scientists from the UK D

A new option for long-term care costs

An estimated 70% of Americans will need long-term care at some point in their lives, but "they haven't planned for it or saved for it," said Cathleen MacCaul, advocacy director for AARP Washington State, which supported the legislation that created WA Cares.

Dialing back stiffness may protect muscles in myotonic dystrophy

For decades, researchers studying myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) have focused on the disease's underlying genetic cause: a mutation that produces a toxic form of RNA, disrupting the normal processing of thousands of genetic messages inside cells. While scientists have known this

Student-led study aims to improve diagnosis of early-onset dementia, a frequently misdiagn

Research led by a University of Sydney medical student could enable earlier and more accurate diagnosis of behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia—one of the most commonly misdiagnosed forms of early-onset dementia, which can begin as early as a person's late 40s and is often

Mature eye cells turn back into stem cells after injury, mouse study finds

Researchers at Technion have uncovered a surprising natural mechanism through which the body repairs itself: Contrary to what was previously believed, mature, aged cells retain an extraordinary ability to "turn back time" and revert to active stem cells that regenerate damaged ti

Scientists uncover genetic clues from a tumor-prone reptile that could advance cancer rese

A new study led by experts at the University of Nottingham suggests a pet gecko with an unusually high risk of tumors may be a promising model for understanding how cancer develops and spreads. The findings of the study, which are published in BMC Biology, could help explain why
