Online education on atrial fibrillation can enhance clinical guideline use by more than 50%
An international study has shown that targeted online education on atrial fibrillation (AF) for health professionals can improve guideline-adherent care. This cluster-randomized controlled trial, published in Nature Medicine this week, was designed to test if structured online AF education for health professionals could improve the care that individual patients receive.

  • 2 months ago schedule
  • medicalxpress.com language

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cells are a promising cancer therapy that are made from the patient's own T cells, which are reprogrammed to fight their cancer. One of the limitations of CAR-T cell therapy is the ability of these cells to survive long enough to target the entire tumor.

When a house is hit by a hurricane, you must first remove the damaged parts before reconstruction can begin. The same applies to our muscles after injuries—and now researchers from Aarhus University and Steno Diabetes Center Aarhus have discovered who functions as the coordinator of this repair process.

An international study has, for the first time, revealed a strong and direct link between the rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and universal disinfection procedures applied to patients in intensive care units. Published in The Lancet Microbe, the study calls for a reassessment of health care guidelines on the widespread use of disinfectants.

  • medicalxpress.com language

Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are a group of disorders that typically arise in adulthood, especially after the age of 70, and their five-year survival rate is around 30%. MDS are characterized by defective maturation of blood cells in the bone marrow, leading to a range of health problems such as fatigue and recurrent infections. Without appropriate treatment, they may progress to acute myeloid leukemia, a much more severe disease.

Women with breast cancer who were also carriers of the BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation and received textured breast implants as part of their reconstructive surgery after mastectomy were 16 times more likely to develop breast-implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL), a rare T-cell lymphoma, compared to similar women without these genetic mutations, according to a study published today in Blood Advances.

In modern immunotherapy, modified immune cells are introduced into the body to attack tumors and other targets. Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have developed a method for tracking these cells in the body. This new approach could deepen our understanding of cellular therapies and help make future treatments safer.

Displaced aggression, such as lashing out at an unrelated individual after a frustrating experience, is a well-documented phenomenon in both humans and animals.

2.945. Scientists develop a foundational map of tumor cells for personalized brain cancer treatments

  • 2 months ago schedule
  • medicalxpress.com language

City of Hope researchers have co-led the first study to demonstrate that characterizing genetic material near chromosomes forecasts how mutated, cancer-causing genes reengineer DNA and alter the tumor microenvironment. The brain cancer research provides foundational knowledge that could one day improve the practice of precision medicine and allow oncologists to deliver more personalized therapies to cancer patients.

Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center researchers have identified a metabolic switch that determines whether intestinal stem cells become absorptive or secretory cells. Manipulating the enzyme OGDH either fuels cell expansion or redirects fate, with potential consequences for colitis recovery and regenerative therapy.

Stroke remains one of the leading causes of death, disability, increased economic burden and decreased quality of life around the world. Current stroke therapies are time-limited and largely focused on restoring blood flow, and there are few which address the secondary wave of inflammation that causes further injury in the hours and days after stroke.
