A new study published in the journal Nature explores the structure of the chloride channel TMEM16A. The study reported the molecular structure of the protein is a potential target for the development of drugs against cystic fibrosis.
A new study published in the journal The BMJ revealed that young emergency doctors who were playing adventures video games, were able to distinguish better than text-based learning at priming real doctors, when patients need to be transferred to a severe trauma care.
A new technology, catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) was developed by scientists to assess RNase H activity. In the future, the findings might contribute to AIDS treatment since RNase H is integral for the proliferation of retroviruses. The study findings are published in the journal Nanoscale.
A new study published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases, revealed that sepsis patients who receive prolonged antipseudomonal beta-lactam infusion are at lower risk of mortality. The infusion, specifically in the ICU settings could be highly effective with minimum side effects. A previous meta-analysis published in the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases indicated the association of extended infusion and lower mortality, said Dr. Konstantinos Z. Vardakas from Alfa Institute of Biomedical Sciences, Athens.
Researchers from Georgia State University used mid-infrared spectroscopy to analyze blood serum derived from experimental mice. They differentiated mice with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and subcutaneous melanoma from healthy mice and between these two tumorous conditions. The study findings published in the journal Scientific Reports.
A new study from Yale University found that Medicare placed few restrictions on the prescription of opioids, despite federal guidelines recommended such restrictions. The researchers said the study outcomes emphasized an untapped opportunity for Medicare formularies to restrict opioid prescription. The study findings are published in the Annals of Internal Medicine.
A new study published in the journal Neurobiology of Aging, may be key to improving the clinical care for patients with Alzheimer's disease. The hyperbaric oxygen therapy in Alzheimer's patient could improve the symptoms, Tel Aviv University researchers found.
According to a new study, Natural killer cells recognize and bind to a viral protein on the surface of infected inner ear cells. This study is published in PLOS Pathogens. For determining the significance of an interaction between NK cells and m157, researchers experimented on mice. They used old developed techniques to mimic many features of CMV-induced hearing loss in children.
Researchers from Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania study put brakes on mutations that drive some diseases. DNA sequences between mitochondria within a single cell were hugely different. The DNA sequence lightens many disorders underlying mechanisms that start with accumulated mutations in individual mitochondria. The findings were published in Cell Reports.
The American Pain Society scrutinized the patient-doctor conversation to identify how best practices linked to opioid tapering, a reduction in opioid-dose. The physician should inform the benefits of tapering, based on their unique clinical situations and histories. The study was published in The Journal of Pain.
A new study has shown that fungal yeast infections (candidiasis) have analyzed from around the world. They revealed secrets about the microbe reproduction and caused disease. Researchers studied the genetic code of 33 separate strains of the yeast Candida glabrata, which is the second most common cause of candidiasis.
A study issued in JCI Insight provides a better understanding of multiple hereditary exostoses (MHE) mechanism and offers a new treatment strategy to subdue the development of the bone tumours.
