UC San Diego Health is one of only two centers in the world to use the novel radiation technology that significantly reduces treatment times with enhanced accuracy. The innovative radiotherapy system, called Halcyon™, was manufactured by the Varian Medical Systems that enables the patients at UC San Diego Health to receive next generation of radiation therapy.
The research team from the University of Waterloo and the Sunnybrook Research Institute developed a novel technology to detect melanoma skin cancer earlier using artificial intelligence (AI).
Researchers from the University of California, Davis, for the first time have revealed that a combination of breast milk and a probiotic organism, B. infantis, could result in lasting changes in the gut microbiome. The study was published in mSphere.
The 60-year Stirling County Study showed that depression is linked to increased risk of early death despite increased awareness about mental illness. The study outcomes were published in CMAJ (Canadian Medical Association Journal).
Dr. Andreas Ramming, a rheumatologist, with his team identified an immune system cell – innate lymphoid cells- that could be used in a targeted attempt to control the inflammatory response in arthritis patients. These findings have been published in Nature Medicine.
A recent review published in Pediatrics revealed that white children were two times more likely to receive antibiotics for viral infection treatment in pediatric emergency departments when compared to minority children.
The researchers of the study examined the characteristics of patients who fail to keep appointments with their doctors, sometimes on several occasions. This is estimated to cost the NHS millions of pounds a year which means patients do not get the medical care they need. The findings of the study were published in The Lancet Public Health.
Researchers discovered mini-brain to show the development of human brain by generating organoids – distinct, 3D brain regions in a laboratory. In the study available in Cell Stem Cell, Yale researchers induced early phase stem cells that generated organoids and then merged two kinds of organoids from different brain regions showed the proper balance of excitatory and inhibitory neurons maintained by developing the brain.
A study led by the researchers at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, suggests that universal screenings of newborns for hearing loss are not sufficient to develop language skills of children who are deaf and hard of hearing.
According to the researchers, about 40% of children with a hearing loss have the capacity for higher language levels. The study was published in the Journal of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics.
The study available in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute reported that the experiment used immune cell ‘hotspots’ in and nearby the tumors recognized more risk of relapsing of breast cancer in females within a decade of diagnosis and identified that females with a greater hotspots number were more likely to relapse breast cancer than females with lesser hotspots number.
The scientists from Edinburgh found a new technique by which the algae could produce vast quantities of feed as well as fuel. With the aid of the gene-editing technique, the yield of products produced by the algae was increased. The study is published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences and was funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council and Scottish Bioenergy.
A study revealed that in northern England premature deaths were 20% more than in southern England and showed that North-South divide in deaths among mid aged adults elevated since the mid-90s and has now reached alarming levels of 29-49% in 2015.
The study published in the BMJ’s Journal of Epidemiology & Community Health used records from the Office of National Statistics of the English population from 1965 to 2015.
