For many people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or COPD, a steroid inhaler is a daily necessity to keep their airways open and help them to breathe. Now, a new UBC analysis shows that these medicated devices may also reduce patients’ risk of lung cancer by as much as 30%. Outcomes for people The researchers…
The study find that the a common polymorphism and a rare variant combination in hepatitis C genotype 3 that are responsible for a reduced response to Sovaldi, according to a study published in Gastroenterology. “Studies on [Sovaldi] ‘resistance’ have been hampered by the extraordinary efficacy of the drug, which has led to very few treatment…
The price tag for physician burnout runs at $4.6 billion annually when the costs associated with turnover and reduced clinical hours are tallied. To sharpen the discussion around physician burnout, Shasha Han, MS, of the National University of Singapore, and coauthors perform a cost-consequence analysis. The team, which include researchers from Stanford University and the…
P16/Ki-67 dual stain testing has higher sensitivity and specificity compared with Pap testing for triage of HPV-positive women, according to results from a recent study published in JAMA Internal Medicine. “Cervical cancer screening is shifting from primary Papanicolaou cytologic testing to primary HPV testing worldwide,” Nicolas Wentzensen; MD, PhD, MS, of the division of cancer epidemiology and…
Research study proving that virus is the most often spreading by close contact with bodily fluids of people exhibiting symptoms; and with objects such as sheets that have been contaminated. Health care are often at risk; and burial practices that call for close contact with victims can spread the disease. For example, virus like Ebola…
Ionizing radiation constitutes a health risk to imaging scientists and study animals. Therefore Both PET and CT produce ionizing radiation. CT doses in pre-clinical in vivo imaging typically range from 50 to 1,000 mGy and biological effects in mice at this dose range have been previously described. Because [18F]FDG body doses in mice have been…
This study enroll companion Brownian dynamics simulations to help explain details of our experimental observations using a parameter coarse-grained model of von Willebrand. By using single-molecule flow experiments performing confocal microscopy and a microfluidic device;for shear rates up to 20,000 and present results for the shear-induced unraveling and elongation of tethered von Willebrand factor multimers. But…
The researches find the that Eye Institute describes a molecular pathway that helps our eyes see continuously in bright light. The findings help answer a longstanding question about mammalian vision: but Why don’t our eyes become less sensitive when they’re bombarded with bright light? The research; therefore conducted in mice, reveals that a special molecule;…
The researches find that the Ketamine is a promising medication that brings hope to patients struggling with severe depression, offering potential therapeutic effects for those who are non-responsive to standard antidepressants. The dissociative anesthetic is currently use by physicians and veterinarians to cause fast-acting insensitivity to pain during medical procedures. Potential therapeutic effects It is…
Cells depend on Parkin to help get rid of damaged mitochondria. But in some studies, parkin depends on other proteins, including one called MITOL that has not previously been linked to Parkinson’s disease, to direct it to those damaged mitochondria. The finding might help improve experimental therapies for Parkinson’s that aim to boost Parkin activity.…
The study find that the team of health-care investigators is piloting a new medical delivery system that uses a “surgical strike” approach to solve pandemic problems Researchers from Western; therefore Institut Pasteur de Madagascar; Stony Brook University (New York); and the Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute have led the first global test to the…
The study find that the combination with rituximab for previously treated follicular lymphoma (FL) and previously treat marginal zone lymphoma (MZL); both of which are also know as indolent non-Hodgkin lymphomas. non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) expect to be diagnose in 2019 in the United States; approximately 20% are likely to be follicular lymphomas. Rituximab for previously treated No…
