A New Mechanism; Males Are At High Risk For Neurodevelopmental Disorders Compared To Females
Researchers have recently begun to realize that biological sex plays a key role in disease risk. Depression and anxiety affect females more, while neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism spectrum disorders, early-onset schizophrenia, and attention deficit hyperactivity, affect more males
Pediatric Hospitalization For Gun Injuries Increased Rates In Urban Areas
Urban areas have higher overall pediatric hospitalization rates for firearm injuries, with the highest rates for urban 15- to 19-year-olds, according to a study published online July 2 in Pediatrics
A study On Smoking And Delayed Shinbone Healing
In adults, tibia (shinbone) fractures are usually fixed through the surgical implantation of a slender metal rod called an intramedullary nail in the hollow space within the bone. This treatment is generally effective for tibial fractures. However, in 10% to 15% of cases, the bone fails to heal in a timely manner, resulting in a nonunion—or arrested healing
Vision Loss Is Associated With Mental Decline
A new study sheds light on how vision loss is linked to mental decline in seniors. For the study, University of Miami researchers analyzed health data from more than 2,500 adults, aged 65 to 84, who were followed from about 1993 to 2001
Census Fails To Find Link Between Assisted Reproduction and Ovarian Cancer
Following concerns over many years that hormonal stimulation of the ovaries necessary for IVF may increase the risk of ovarian cancer, a nationwide cohort study from Denmark has now concluded that any perceived increase in risk is actually a statistical bias resulting from vigilant diagnosis at the time of treatment
New Nuclear Medicine Technique Helps To Find Brain Disease
A new molecular imaging method can monitor the success of gene therapy in all areas of the brain, potentially allowing physicians to more effectively tackle brain conditions such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, and multiple sclerosis
Research Found Link Between Age And Brain Aging
A recent study finds that such feelings, called subjective age, may reflect brain aging. Using MRI brain scans, researchers found that elderly people who feel younger than their age show fewer signs of brain aging, compared with those who feel their age or older than their age
New Test To Predict Diabetic Kidney Disease Before It Occurs
A new test developed by researchers from The University of Western Australia that can reliably predict the onset of diabetic kidney disease for up to four years in advance has been given the green light for use
FDA Recommends Plazomicin (Zemdri) for UTI
Achaogen Inc said on Tuesday U.S. health regulators cleared its antibiotic Zemdri (plazomicin) to treat adults with complicated urinary tract infections but declined approval for treating bloodstream infections
Exposure to Paint, Varnish, Other Solvents Increases Risk of Multiple Sclerosis
People who have been exposed to paint, varnish and other solvents and who also carry genes that make them more susceptible to developing multiple sclerosis (MS) may be at much greater risk of developing the disease than people who have only the exposure to solvents or the MS genes, according to a study published in the July 3, 2018, online issue of Neurology, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology
ClinGen Panel Evaluated Validity of Genes Which Is Tied To Brugada Syndrome
In the case of Brugada Syndrome (BrS), a serious genetic condition that causes a disruption of the heart's normal rhythm and predisposes a patient to sudden arrhythmic death, many clinical laboratories have based their test design and diagnostic reporting on the literature implicating 21 genes with the condition
