Kessler Foundation receives a major federal grant from the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR), which funds an Advanced Rehabilitation Research Training (ARRT) Project in Rehabilitation Neuroscience and Engineering.
In a study, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have described that influenza-related deaths in the United States have ranged from a low of 12,000 in 2011–12 to 56,000 in 2012–13. This year's influenza outbreak is already the most widespread on record since health officials began keeping track about a dozen years ago, with millions of Americans being infected by emerging and current strains such as the dominant H3N2.
Researchers from the University of Louisville School of Medicine, was concerned to see if depressive symptoms might also affect patients' health outcomes. Many patients diagnosed with head and neck cancer experience symptoms of depression, which can make it difficult for them to manage treatment side effects, quit smoking, or maintain adequate nutrition or sleep habits. The study got published in CANCER, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Cancer Society.
In this study, researchers are designing and building proteins that can fold and mimic the chemical processes that sustain life. Now they have confirmed that at least one of their new proteins can catalyze biological reactions in E. coli, meaning that a protein designed entirely from scratch functions in cells as a genuine enzyme. The study published the paper in Nature Chemical Biology.
An ingredient commonly found in toothpaste could be employed as an anti-malarial drug against strains of the malaria parasite that have grown resistant to one of the currently used drugs. The discovery was described in a study published in the journal Scientific Reports.
According to a study published in the journal PLOS Medicine, many healthcare providers in China–especially those at village clinics and township health centres–fail to correctly manage tuberculosis (TB) cases.
According to new research from scientists at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, part of the National Institutes of Health, Beneficial bacteria on the skin of lab mice work with the animals' immune systems to defend against disease-causing microbes and accelerate wound healing . The study findings were published in the Cell .
According to this study, researchers have revealed incredible images of how the DNA code is read and interpreted revealing new detail about one of the fundamental processes of life. They used an advanced form of electron microscopy called Cryo-EM, for which the Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded in 2017, to zoom in and capture images of the reading mechanism in extraordinary concept. The study published in the journal Nature could open new approaches to cancer treatment.
In a new study, the researchers have reported that Mactanamide may have a significant role in the inhibition of osteoclast differentiation. Mactanamide is a new fungistatic diketopiperazine containing the uncommon amino acid d-2, 6-dihydroxyphenylalanine, has been first isolated from the mycelium of an undescribed marine fungus of the genus Aspergillus sp. from the surface of the brown marine alga Sargassum sp.
A new study, published in the journal Gastroenterology, has identified a cellular mechanism causing inflammatory changes in regulatory T cells that can lead to severe viral hepatitis. Research on this mechanism will help further understand the nature of various inflammatory diseases and lead to the development of relevant clinical treatments.
Hospital systems — and not necessarily only the primary ethnic population of those hospitals — may contribute to disparities involving palliative care for patients after ischemic stroke and intracerebral hemorrhage, a new study published in the journal Critical Care Medicine reports.
The Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) has published appropriate use criteria (AUC) for somatostatin receptor PET imaging in neuroendocrine tumors. The study findings were published in The Journal of Nuclear Medicine
