| Viruses in the gut may warn of a deadly disease in preterm infants Posted: 25 Apr 2022 02:21 PM PDT Medical researchers explore the galaxy of viruses present in the gut, known as the gut virome. They find that some preterm infants undergo marked alterations in their pattern of gut viruses shortly before developing a serious and often fatal disease known as necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). |
| Posted: 25 Apr 2022 12:43 PM PDT New research results demonstrate how inflammation from a COVID-19 infection during pregnancy could potentially impact long-term infant health, including infant growth and brain development. A new study describes how infants of mothers who had a COVID-19 infection during pregnancy had significant elevations in inflammatory blood markers, also known as cytokines, at the time of delivery. |
| Wireless device to provide new options for colorectal cancer treatment Posted: 25 Apr 2022 11:42 AM PDT A team is developing an intracavity device that will allow doctors to eliminate leftover cancer cells during surgery, reducing the need for additional treatments such as chemotherapy. |
| Being in nature: Good for mind, body and nutrition Posted: 25 Apr 2022 10:59 AM PDT Researchers have investigated how nature relatedness -- simply feeling connected with the natural world -- benefits dietary diversity and fruit and vegetable intake. |
| Study: Economic burden of PTSD 'staggering' Posted: 25 Apr 2022 10:59 AM PDT A new study finds that the national economic burden of PTSD goes beyond direct health care expenses and exceeds the costs of other common mental health conditions, such as anxiety and depression. The researchers estimated the cost of PTSD at $232.2 billion for 2018, the latest year for which data were available at the time of the study. |
| Study reviews COVID-related hospital visitation limits and family stress Posted: 25 Apr 2022 10:59 AM PDT Efforts by hospitals to protect people from COVID-19 by restricting them from visiting family members in ICUs may have contributed to a significant increase in stress-related disorders, according to new research. The study reports that nearly two-thirds of those restricted from visiting were suffering from stress-related disorders three months after their family member was hospitalized. |
| A new era of mitochondrial genome editing has begun Posted: 25 Apr 2022 09:11 AM PDT A new era of mitochondrial genome editing has begun. Scientists successfully achieve A to G base conversion, the final missing piece of the puzzle in gene-editing technology. |
| Omicron prompted spike in COVID cases in pregnant women, but fewer hospitalizations Posted: 25 Apr 2022 09:10 AM PDT Women who were pregnant during the recent Omicron surge were diagnosed with COVID-19 at a much higher rate than during previous phases of the pandemic, but were less likely to develop severe illness, a study has found. |
| Living kidney donor surgery is low risk for most patients Posted: 25 Apr 2022 05:57 AM PDT The risk of major complications for people who donate a kidney via laparoscopic surgery is minimal. That is the conclusion of a 20-year study of more than 3,000 living kidney donors. Only 2.5% of patients in the study experienced major complications, and all recovered completely. |
| Researchers identify key regulators of urinary concentration in the kidney Posted: 25 Apr 2022 05:57 AM PDT The kidney carries out important functions via microscopic functional units called nephrons. Researchers are investigating which factors control the formation and function of specific segments of the nephron, called the distal nephron. Their findings could have implications in the treatment of kidney diseases. |
| Scientists discover how salt in tumors could help diagnose and treat breast cancer Posted: 24 Apr 2022 05:32 PM PDT Researchers have developed a technique using sodium magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to detect salt levels in breast cancer tumors in mice. Imaging salt levels could be a vital new tool to help diagnose and monitor breast cancer, the researchers say. |
