The researches find that the older adults are less distracted by negative information even in the earliest stages of attention. USC researchers looked at “emotion-induced blindness,” which refers to distractions caused by emotionally arousing stimuli. In four experiments using a quickly presented sequence of images, they examined how older adults prioritize emotional information. They found…
The researches find that the Platelets tiny cells critical for blood clotting could be the key to protecting against brain damage occurring during pregnancy or around the time of birth. Information gained from the pre-clinical study led by Dr. Alison Farley and Dr. Samir Taoudi from the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute could ;enable doctors…
The study find that the drugs for hepatitis C reduce liver-related deaths by nearly 50% in patients with a history of liver cancer. The finding builds on a December 2018 study by the same researchers who found that antiviral drugs do not increase the risk of liver cancer recurrence, as was previously feared. Dr. Amit…
Scientists at Trinity College Dublin have announced a major breakthrough with important implications; for sufferers of a common eye disease dry Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) – which can cause total blindness in sufferers; and for which there are currently no approved therapies. Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of central retinal vision loss…
It turns out creating tiny injuries on your face with needles actually helps decrease the appearance of acne scars. Researchers from Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) have find that this process, called microneedling; so helps rejuvenation and decreases the inflammation and scarring that often plagues those with acne. The American Academy of Dermatology reports that…
A team of international scientists, including Melbourne researchers, has find blood samples can help gauge the severity of children’s brain injuries, indicating which children will recover and which will need ongoing support. The Murdoch Children’s Research Institute (MCRI), working with Canadian scientists; analyse blood from 158 children who present with head injuries at children’s hospitals in…
Two studies led by the Garvan Institute of Medical Research have revealed that nitrogen-bisphosphonates; drugs commonly prescribed for osteoporosis, reduced the risk of premature mortality by 34% in a cohort of over 6,000 individuals. This reduction in early mortality risk, significantly associated with a reduction in bone loss compared with no treatment. However, the findings…
The study identifying a molecular switch that impacts immune responses to viral infections, and whether or not protective antibodies are producing. Discovery that the immune system protects against different viruses via distinct pathways. Their findings could lead to better strategies to develop vaccines for previously hard-to-prevent viruses. Antibodies are an essential component of long lived…
