An anatomical study examines the image of human tissues, Confocal laser endomicroscopy (pCLE) provides real-time histologic imaging of human tissues at a depth of 60–70 μm during endoscopy. pCLE of the extrahepatic bile duct after fluorescein injection demonstrated a reticular pattern within fluorescein-filled sinuses that had no known anatomical correlate.
In a new study, researchers reveal both the widespread distribution and broad-spectrum resistance potential of D-stereospecific peptidases, providing a potential early indicator of antibiotic resistance to non-ribosomal peptide antibiotics. The study was published in the journal Nature Chemical Biology.
For cystocele repair, laparoscopic mesh sacropexy (LS) is safer and better preserves sexual function than does transvaginal mesh repair (TVM), according to a randomized trial from France.
According to a study, the researcher examines that Blunt cannula subcision (BCS) is more effective than Nokor needle subcision (NNS) for acne scar treatment. The study was published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology.

Researchers have tried to address the main stress factors encountered in space and their impact on the human body as well as the possible lessons learned with space exploration about human health on Earth. They have also tried to discuss the challenging issue of human adaptation to the space environment.
Biologists have discovered evidence for a new path of evolution and with it a deeper understanding of how quickly organisms such as viruses can adapt to their environment. The researchers say their findings, which address longstanding mysteries of how genes acquire new functions and how mutations arise to ease transmission from one host to another, could be applied to investigations of viral diseases such as Zika, Ebola and bird flu.
A study determines the flight attendant on a flight from Rwanda to Turkey made the announcement no one wants to hear and an Emergency Medicine resident at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, jumped into action. The study was published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
A new study suggested that a diet free from red meat significantly reduced the risk of a type of colon cancer in women. University of Leeds researchers assessed if red meat, poultry, or vegetarian diets were associated with colon and rectal cancer.
In a new study, researchers evaluate that people suffering from hay fever often choose the wrong medication for their seasonal sniffles. With flowers, trees, and grasses springing back to life, folks with allergies will start to complain of sneezing, runny noses, and watery, itchy eyes. They found that few are allergy aisle of their nearest drug store without advice from a doctor or pharmacist.
A public health research team at the Brown School at Washington University in St. Louis has taken one of the most effective diabetes intervention programs and made it more accessible by partnering with an existing home-visit organization dedicated to working with mothers of preschool-aged children.
According to a study, researchers determine that a 10-year mortality rate in elderly patients who receive surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) is considerable. Few data exist on long-term outcomes and structural valve degeneration (SVD) in consecutive unselected patients undergoing surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR). The study was published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
