Hip fractures, often a result of a fall, are the most serious type of osteoporotic fracture because they are accompanied by considerable pain, loss of muscle and bone strength, reduced mobility and independence with daily activities, and increased risk for future fractures and death. More than 200,000 American women every year experience hip fractures, and up to three-quarters of them never fully regain their ability to resume normal activities like walking, even after undergoing weeks of exercise rehabilitation.
A new, easily adopted, 3D-printed device will enable scientists to create models of human tissue with even greater control and complexity. An interdisciplinary group of researchers at the University of Washington and UW Medicine led the development of the device.
A "substantial number" of dementia cases in the U.S. could be eliminated by reducing cardiometabolic conditions such as heart attack, stroke and diabetes, according to a new study from Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix.
The U.S. saw a small increase in measles cases this week, an indicator that outbreaks are slowing down, though exposures at a busy airport in Colorado and a Shakira concert in New Jersey are keeping public health experts on their toes.
A case in which a sperm donor was later found to be carrying a cancer-causing pathogenic variant in his gametes has highlighted the problems of regulating gamete donation at the European and international level.
A test developed at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus that measures both prosthetic donning time and mobility in lower-limb amputation, shows that a prosthesis anchored to bone goes on faster than a traditional socket-style prosthesis. The finding is the first to validate the test as a tool to measure performance for lower-limb amputees using bone-anchored prostheses.
Outbreaks of bird flu in mammals more than doubled across the world last year, raising the risk that the virus could potentially spread between humans, an international agency warned on Friday.
North Macedonia said on Friday that two mpox cases were registered for the first time in the Balkan country.
A breakthrough study, led by scientists at Waipapa Taumata Rau, University of Auckland, has uncovered how daylight can boost the immune system's ability to fight infections.
Stroke is one of the leading causes of death and disability in the U.S. And while we often hear about risk factors like high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol levels, and smoking, there's another that often flies under the radar: stress.
New studies stemming from the Armamentarium consortium outline findings that advance tools based on Adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors. An announcement about the work explains how an AAV "acts like a shuttle capable of transporting specially designed DNA into the cell."
In a clinical pilot study, researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) have validated a novel, noninvasive method for measuring central venous pressure (CVP) using quantitative compression ultrasound (QCU). This study, published in BME Frontiers, marks a significant advancement in cardiovascular diagnostics, offering a promising alternative to traditional invasive catheterization and visual inspection methods.
Some people spring into action at dawn, while others prefer a slower start to their day. Whether you rise with a grin or a groan, scientists say your internal clock—known as the circadian rhythm—might influence that behavior and much more.
Recognizing that some people facing mental health issues are not turning to traditional providers for assistance, a Temple University associate professor has examined how artificial intelligence could be leveraged to help improve access to health care resources.
Millions of people across the world still lack access to basic eye care such as glasses, according to a new study led by Professor Rupert Bourne of Anglia Ruskin University (ARU).
Bone is a common site for metastasis of solid cancers, but histological and molecular features of bone metastases are not well understood. In a new study published in Cell Genomics, researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center use RNA sequencing to characterize bone metastases from eight cancer types. The findings identify three distinct immune ecosystem archetypes.
Dr. Simrit Parmar, an associate professor in the College of Medicine at Texas A&M University and founder of the clinical-stage biotech company Cellenkos Inc. in Houston, has invented a new cell therapy that shows strong promise for the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), aplastic anemia and other devastating diseases.
The combination of enzalutamide with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) significantly increases the chance of five-year survival for men with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer, according to a five-year follow-up of the global ARCHES study led by the Duke Cancer Institute.
Semaglutide belongs to a group of drugs called GLP-1R agonists and has been shown to effectively reduce food intake and body weight. The drug is already well established as part of the treatment for obesity and type 2 diabetes, but can cause side effects such as nausea and muscle loss.
