The researchers from the University of Liverpool and Oxford Institute for Radiation Oncology, identifies the specific cellular process that helps cancer cells damaged as a result of proton beam therapy, repair themselves. The study was published online in The Red Journal.
In a new study published in the British Journal of Ophthalmology, researchers said there has been a steady rise in the incidence of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the eyelid in England since 2000. They believe that behavioral changes and medical advances may underlie the increase.
When patients experience biochemical recurrence, the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level rises. However, there is no visual evidence of disease on conventional scans. A new study presented at the Genitourinary Cancers Symposium (GUCS) shows that adding an imaging agent (18F-fluciclovine) to the positron-emission tomography (PET)/CT scans provides more information, and this has a substantial impact on clinical decisions for such patients.
Increasing evidence has linked autism spectrum disorder (ASD) with dysfunction of brain cerebellum, but the details have been unclear. In a new study published in Molecular Psychiatry , at Boston Children's Hospital used stem cell technology to create cerebellum cells known as Purkinje cells from patients with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). The lab-grown cells showed several characteristics that may help explain how ASD develops at the molecular level.
According to a new doctoral dissertation at Aalto University, an emotional state affects the operation of the entire brain instead of individual emotions being localized only in specific regions in the brain.
A new study published today in the BMJ has reported that people over 65 years old may be increasing their stroke risk by taking anticoagulants for an irregular heartbeat if they also have chronic kidney disease.
A new study results have shown open perspectives for the development of aleurone as a complementary prebiotic selectively targeting colon butyrate producers.
The Uttarakhand government has been administering polio drops to children every day at entry points on the Nepal border for the last four years, officials said.
Patients who underwent esophagectomy after neoadjuvant therapy for esophageal cancer survived significantly longer than those who refused surgery, according to study results presented at the Annual Meeting of The Society of Thoracic Surgeons.
As the national conversation about marijuana legalization continues, an important question is how changing marijuana policy may influence the use of other substances, such as alcohol.
Using self-sampling followed by HPV testing, more than twice as many women at risk of developing cervical cancer could be identified and offered preventive treatment. This is shown by researchers at Uppsala University in the first randomized study in the world comparing two ways of identifying cervical cancer, published today in the British Journal of Cancer.
American diplomats who were posted to Havana were reported to have symptoms similar to concussions suffered after a head injury. This was despite the fact that none of them had had any head trauma. Initially, it was speculated that they could have been victims to a “sonic attack” to their brains. However, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) ruled out any such involvement last month.
