Using previous research that shows that insomnia causes a decrease in blood flow in the front dorsal lobe of the brain, and correlates it with depression, the authors of a Japanese study recently published in the journal Open Medicine entitled 'Insomnia and depression: Japanese hospital workers questionnaire survey' seeks to establish a link between insomnia and depression.
According to a new study, researchers found key genes that are regulated by testosterone and that contribute to the risk for autism, generating important insight into how male hormones might contribute to the increased male susceptibility to ASD. The study published in Biological Psychiatry.
Researchers examined the study from the National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey to quantify emergency department visits by patients aged 45 years and older with diabetes.

A research published in Scientific Reports. for the first time, Ubogu and UAB colleagues describe the transcriptome of these specialized cells called endoneurial endothelial cells, finding 12,881 RNA transcripts that define the normal human blood-nerve barrier.
Each year in the U.S. some 200,000 babies, struggling to survive their early days in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), require umbilical cord catheters to take food and medicine. While these tiny tubes serve as a lifeline, they can also be a conduit for harmful bacteria to enter the bloodstream. The resulting infection, which affects roughly one in five babies with an umbilical cord catheter, means a longer and more expensive hospital stay and a significantly increased risk of developmental delays, or even death.
According to a new study, a telemedicine surveillance in high-risk older CHF patients determines a continuous and active contact between patients/caregivers, the Heart Failure Clinic, and family physicians, permitting an early evaluation of signs and symptoms of acute decompensation.
The debate is over. Dietary protein supplements significantly improve muscle strength and size when taken by healthy adults who lift weights, a determination reached by McMaster scientists who analyzed dozens of research studies.
In a research reported in JAMA Surgery, researchers said although primary gastrinomas of the liver are rare, they do occur and may metastasize to regional lymph nodes, thus warranting aggressive resection.
Researchers have investigated the association of clinical variables and quality of care measures with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR +) and albuminuria (Alb +) in 157,595 T2DM individuals participating to the Italian Association of Clinical Diabetologists ( AMD ) Annals Initiative, stratified by age.
In this study, researchers have evaluated the disease severity via the Severity Assessment of Hidradenitis Suppurativa score. The variation in both clinical appearance and responses to diverse treatment options emphasize the importance of an accurate, clinically relevant, yet easy-to-use scoring system in hidradenitis suppurativa.
For infants born at 33 weeks' gestation or earlier, Family Integrated Care (FICare) in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) is associated with improved infant and parent outcomes, according to a study published online in The Lancet Child & Adolescent Health.
According to authors of a systematic review, Use of epidural steroid injections (ESIs) “should be approached with prudence,” particularly in patients who are at risk for osteoporotic fractures, such as women of postmenopausal age. The study findings were published in the Pain Medicine
