Genetic insights into a fluid-related brain condition in newborns

Early detection and treatment of congenital cerebral ventriculomegaly (CCV)—when a fetus's fluid-filled brain ventricles swell due to a condition called hydrocephalus—can help clinicians prevent developmental or neurological disabilities in affected infants. New research led by i

Decline in work productivity found 15 years before early-onset dementia diagnosis

People diagnosed with early-onset dementia had reduced work productivity up to 15 years before diagnosis, according to a study published in Neurology. Researchers also found the number of years of lower productivity varied depending on the type of dementia.

Early access to a cardiac surgical hospital linked to shorter hospitalization for newborns

Congenital heart defects are the most common birth defects in the United States. For newborns with the most severe defects—those needing lifesaving intervention—later transfer to a cardiac surgical center is linked to longer hospitalization compared with those born at a surgical

Kidney disease profile shifts: Diabetes-linked CKD rises as overall US rate stalls

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is common, largely silent and serious. Most people who have the condition do not realize they have it, while it sharply raises the risk of heart attacks, strokes, kidney failure and early death. Over the past decade, the share of American adults livin

Womb fluid infusions help fetuses with kidney failure survive after birth

Women diagnosed early in pregnancy with a fetus lacking adequate kidney function to make the urine that serves as vital amniotic fluid have long faced virtually no chance of the fetus's survival after birth.

Researchers discover new form of hereditary prostate cancer

Researchers at the University of British Columbia have identified a new form of hereditary prostate cancer that, while rare, can cause aggressive disease at a young age. The discovery paves the way for genetic testing programs that could help identify at-risk families and support

Links between genetics and cognition change across childhood

Rare DNA changes are most strongly linked to cognition in early childhood, but the link fades as children age, while common DNA changes show stronger links later in childhood, a new study finds. The research was reported July 10 in Nature Human Behaviour by researchers at the Wel

New non-invasive treatment shows promise for twin pregnancy complications

An innovative experimental procedure that uses high-energy sound waves to treat a rare and serious pregnancy condition called twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) is safe, according to an early-stage research trial involving U.K. and European patients.
