The Ross Procedure, a highly specialized option for aortic valve replacement, is associated with significant long-term durability and excellent outcomes in a wide range of adult patients with aortic valve disease. These are the results of a new study led by Mount Sinai heart surg

Researchers at Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) have identified a specialized population of immune cells that plays a central role in driving abnormal tissue growth in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), offering new insight into disease progression and potential treatment strategies. T

The availability of genetic testing for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) for people with a family member diagnosed with the disease is expected to greatly increase the number of clinic visits to specialized ALS centers over the next decade, according to a study published in Ne

Chronic pain can affect work, everyday life and quality of life. Patients with chronic pain do not have access to specialized rehabilitation on equal terms. Education, age, sex and region of birth appear to play a role, particularly in combination, according to a study from the U

Through interdepartmental collaboration, a young woman's quality of life and ability to walk were restored following the laparoscopic removal of a rare, benign tumor of neurological origin in the lesser pelvis, known as a schwannoma (also called a neurinoma). In the Central and E

Researchers at Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) have uncovered a critical link between the immune system in early life and its function in adulthood. The study, published in Science Immunology, identifies a new role for specialized skin immune cells, called Langerhans cells, in

Most people favor one hand, and that hand tends to be the better one for writing, throwing and managing chopsticks. The long-standing view is that the dominant hand is "born" more capable, its skills rooted in a brain hemisphere specialized for motor control. A new study in PNAS

Researchers from the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ), the HI-STEM* Stem Cell Institute and Heidelberg University Hospital (UKHD) have developed "HemaGuide," an AI assistant that supports physicians in making difficult treatment decisions. In extensive testing, the system has

A new study finds public specialized gambling addiction treatment services are underused in Quebec, pointing to a need to better reach people with a gambling disorder. Researchers at McGill University and the Douglas Research Center followed more than 2,300 people with a gambling

The human brain contains billions of neurons, specialized nerve cells that communicate with each other via electrical and chemical signals. Every neuron is made up of its body (i.e., soma), where most cellular processes occur; a long projection called an axon that sends signals t

Almost everyone carries Candida albicans. The yeast colonizes human mucous membranes—for example, the oral mucosa and the intestine—usually silently, without causing any problems. The immune system learns early on how to deal with it. It develops specialized immune cells known as
