More women than ever are carrying babies conceived with someone else's egg—but few are told that this might carry greater health risks.
A recent study led by Paul DeCaen, Ph.D., associate professor of Pharmacology, has identified novel molecular mechanisms by which genetic mutations in the PKD2 gene cause the most common form of polycystic kidney disease, according to findings published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
A new Briefing Paper, Diet in Pregnancy, published by the British Nutrition Foundation, combines the findings of academic research and recommendations from authoritative institutions into a roadmap for good nutrition for parents and their babies, from preconception through pregnancy.
A new Yale study has found a promising target for treating the brain fog that can follow COVID-19 and offers new insight into a hypothesis about the origin of Alzheimer's disease.
Racial/ethnic and socioeconomic disparities contribute to frequent emergency department visits for seizures, according to a study published online July 5 in Epilepsia.
As Central Texas begins to recover from the devastating floods that swept through the region, families are facing more than just physical damage. The emotional toll—especially on children—can be profound and long-lasting.
Researchers at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST; Saudi Arabia) have announced the development of a new deep learning tool, deepBlastoid, to study models of human embryo development in artificial laboratory conditions. The KAUST scientists showed that deepBlastoid can evaluate images of the models equally to expert scientists but 1000 times faster.
"Precision medicine" has become increasingly popular in the last decade as an avenue for cancer therapy, where treatment strategies are tailored to a specific patient based on the unique characteristics of their disease and their personal background. These unique disease characteristics (called "phenotypes") help guide physicians in choosing the most effective treatments.
University of Kentucky Markey Cancer Center researcher Weisi Yan, M.D., Ph.D., recently shared his work on radiation therapy at a major international conference, showcasing how new techniques could better protect patients' immune systems while fighting cancer.
How does friendship affect the human brain and influence behavior? In a new JNeurosci paper, Jia Jin and colleagues, from Shanghai International Studies University, present their work examining how close relationships influence consumer behavior and neural activity.
Because unpleasant withdrawal symptoms fuel nicotine addiction's high relapse rate, targeting their underlying mechanisms with treatments may promote continued abstinence from the drug.
Patients with higher-severity alopecia areata (AA) have a higher prevalence and incidence of comorbid atopic dermatitis (AD), according to a study published online June 26 in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology.
Research presented today at the Society of NeuroInterventional Surgery's (SNIS) 22nd Annual Meeting included three studies that explored the differences in treatment and recovery options for patients across racial, gender and socioeconomic lines in a large telestroke network in Pennsylvania and a university medical center in Rhode Island.
Each year, more than 30 million people globally receive surgery to correct cataracts. As many people age, the crystalline lenses in their eyes become cloudy and obstruct their vision, but a simple and safe form of surgery where the crystalline lens is replaced with an artificial lens—known as an intraocular lens—can restore clarity and lead to a vast improvement in quality of life.
The UK government's 10-year health plan promises a radical digital transformation of the NHS. A key part of this change is said to come from developing the NHS app, which is being hailed as a "doctor in your pocket."
A multidisciplinary guideline panel convened by the American Association of Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology (AABIP) and the Early Detection & Screening Committee of the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) has determined that guided-bronchoscopy sampling provides tissue of comparable adequacy for comprehensive biomarker testing to percutaneous (CT-guided) biopsy, while delivering a superior safety profile—especially when contemporary navigational technologies are employed.
New research from The University of Texas at Austin suggests that exercising more frequently—ideally every day—could improve sleep quality, particularly the kind of deep, restorative sleep that supports better mood and mental health.
Observational studies of psychiatric diseases such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and major depression have long tied viral infections with behavioral symptoms in these disorders, but scientists have been unable to find direct evidence of suspected viruses in the brain. Experts say that's possibly because viruses may not get directly inside the brain, but may target the brain lining instead.
A new study has found clear evidence of inappropriate prescribing of antipsychotic treatments to children and young people (CYP) and low levels of aftercare monitoring by GPs and also raises concerns about the clarity of best practice guidelines across different care settings and the completeness of data available to researchers.
