According to this study, researchers showed a new test designed to better measure levels of troponin, a protein released when the heart muscle is damaged, could help emergency department physicians provide faster diagnosis and appropriate treatment. When diagnosing a heart attack, accuracy and timing are everything. This study published in JAMA Cardiology.
In a new study in rats, researchers have demonstrated that is possible to restore insulin sensitivity and glucose homeostasis by modulating electrically the carotid sinus nerve, the sensitive nerve that connects the carotid body with the brain. This study is published in Diabetologia the journal of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes [EASD].
In the study, the UCLA team offered that despite the dense stroma associated with desmoplastic melanoma tumors, patients may still respond well to anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1 therapies due to the high frequency of mutations induced by prior sun damage characteristic of this type of cancer. More than two-thirds of people with a rare type of melanoma responded positively to treatment with anti-PD-1 immunotherapies.
According to long-term study, researchers said the findings underscore the need for radiologists to play a role in the care continuum for these patients. Emergency radiologists are seeing a high prevalence of patients with complications related to opioid use disorders.
In this study, Researchers declared that doctors had warned not to sneeze forcefully by Pinching your nose while clamping your mouth shut to contain a forceful sneeze isn't a good idea. This is published in the journal BMJ Case Reports. One young man managed to rupture the back of his throat during this maneuver, leaving him barely able to speak or swallow, and in considerable pain.
According to researchers, Space can damage satellites and endanger astronaut health — though, luckily for life on Earth, the planet is blanketed by a protective magnetic bubble created by its magnetic field. This bubble, called the magnetosphere, deflects most of the harmful high-energy particles. The study has been recently published in a paper in Nature Communications.
Researchers from Rutgers University, scientists have invented a highly effective method to detect tiny tumors and track their spread, potentially leading to earlier cancer detection and more precise treatment. A new method is better than magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and other cancer surveillance technologies. This study published in Nature Biomedical Engineering.
A new study, published in Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine, suggest that systematic bright light exposure can improve sleep for fatigued people who have been treated for cancer.
A new "research impact ranking" provides a more objective approach to assessing and comparing research productivity at US orthopedic departments, according to a study in the November Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma (JOT), published by Wolters Kluwer.
The FDA said in a news release that after safety labeling changes are made, opioid contatining products will no longer be indicated for use to treat cough in any pediatric population and will be labeled for use only in adults aged 18 years and older.
German scientists have developed a novel nuclear medicine test that can determine whether a kidney transplant patient has developed the infection in the transplanted tissue. The study, which utilizes positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MRI), is presented in the The Journal of Nuclear Medicine.
The Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology (CJASN) is including Patient Voice editorials that will accompany certain journal articles in an effort to provide patients the opportunity to share practical health consumer perspectives.
