Researchers describes that young patients with type 1 diabetes from ethnic minorities are more like than their white peers to have markers of a poor prognosis, which in turn may explain their worse longer-term outcomes. The study was published in Diabetes Care.
A sizable percentage of elderly patients with blood-related cancers such as leukemia and multiple myeloma are apt to show signs of diminished cognitive functioning, a decline that may impact their survival, a new study by investigators at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) indicates.
A new study published in the journal Neuron suggest that high-resolution functional magnetic resonance imaging of the brain can be used to show some of the underlying causes of differences in memory proficiency between older and younger adults, and which may indicate early stages of diseases such as Alzheimer's and dementia.
According to study, researchers invented Groundbreaking discoveries regarding the onset of cholera are paving the way for a future, fast-acting antidote for cholera epidemics. The study was published in the journal PLOS Pathogens and ACS Infectious Disease.
Michigan State University scientists are engineering a virus-like particle, known as Qβ, that will generate anti-cancer immune responses in the body and potentially be used as a new vaccine for the treatment of cancer.
Researchers from The Forsyth Institute, a global leader in oral health research, today announced they have added over 80 species to generate the expanded Human Oral Microbiome Database (eHOMD), an online index of microbial species present in the mouth and respiratory tract, including the nasal passages and throat. The database is now home to 772 species and has put Forsyth researchers on the forefront of identifying and capturing the full genomic information of all species that comprise the human oral and upper respiratory tract microbiome.
A new study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology suggests that older adults with heart disease who regularly exercise, even a little bit, may live longer than they would without any physical activity.
The National Eye Institute, part of the National Institutes of Health, projects the number of Americans affected by glaucoma will more than double between 2010 and 2050, from 2.7 million to 6.3 million.
According to this study, researchers examined the cost of ageing are of concern to us all, especially when considering the likelihood of developing wrinkles. They are not only a hallmark of ageing but also play a fundamental role, they will physically interact with many products and devices, from moisturiser cream and make up to razor and the fabrics of our clothes.
In this study, Circadian clocks regulate the behaviour of all living things. They have now taken a closer look at the clock's anatomical structures and molecular processes in the honeybee. Chronobiology is the discipline that examines these and other questions about the circadian clocks of all living organisms from protozoans to humans. The study published in the journal Open Biology of the Royal Society.
Research has linked childhood abuse to many adverse health outcomes in adulthood, including premature mortality, but according to new Northwestern University research, supportive relationships in midlife can partly compensate for the mortality risks linked to childhood abuse. "Midlife self-reported social support as a buffer against premature mortality risks associated with childhood abuse" was published in Nature Human Behaviour.
According to study, researchers evaluated that when heart failure patients receive a heart pumping device known as a left ventricular assist device (LVAD), their caregivers seem to suffer. The study was published in the Journal of the American Heart Association (JAHA).
