Financial strain is an important factor in making health care decisions for low-income individuals, who often forgo care for basic needs like food and rent, researchers in UT Southwestern's Center for Patient-Centered Outcomes Research (PCOR) found.
Alison Brooks presented a research abstract about the impact of concussions on lower extremity injuries in high school athletes at the 27th Annual Meeting of the American Medical Society for Sports Medicine in Lake Buena Vista, FL.
New research led by the Murdoch Children's Research Institute (MCRI), has combined gene editing technology with stem cell kidney regeneration to correct a patient's gene mutation
A study estimates that the human nervous system is a complex structure that sends electrical signals from the brain to the rest of the body, enabling us to move and think. Unfortunately, when brain cells are damaged by trauma or disease they don't automatically regenerate. This can lead to permanent disability. The study was published in the journal Cell.
According to a new study, the status of lymph nodes rather than the status of the primary tumor following preoperative chemotherapy or chemoradiation therapy is the most important factor that determines if esophageal cancer patients will survive
Young parents who have less education and care for more than one child are more likely to have persistent symptoms of depression that linger six months after their newborn is discharged from the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), according to a Children's National Health System research presentation during the Pediatric Academic Societies 2018 annual meeting.
Major cardiac events were fewer at 5 years in patients receiving a radial artery graft as the second conduit in coronary bypass surgery (CABG) vs. a saphenous-vein graft (SVG) in a patient-level meta-analysis of randomized trials. The study is published in the New England Journal of Medicine
According to a study, the researcher examines that the most abundant class of brain nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. A structural understanding of the protein, found in neurons, could lead to new ways to treat nicotine addiction from smoking and vaping. The study was published in Nature.
New research led by investigators at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine and University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center suggests that the location of immune cells in the body determines whether the development of heart disease.
The APOE gene, the strongest genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease, may play a more prominent role in disease development among women than men, according to new research from the Vanderbilt Memory and Alzheimer's Center
Patients with isolated hip fracture can be in the operating room (OR) within 48 hours of presentation, which can lead to improved outcomes if a multidisciplinary team is focused on this goal, new research shows.
According to a study, researcher declines that the most abundant molecule in cell membranes is the lipid phosphatidylcholine (PC, commonly known as lecithin), the enzymes responsible for synthesizing it are essential. They used computer simulations to gain insights into how one of these enzymes activates and shuts off PC production. These results could help researchers understand that small changes in this enzyme can lead to conditions like blindness and dwarfism. The study was published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry.
