Ovarian cancer is relatively rare. However, it's often fatal in later stages of the disease. The cancer begins in the ovaries and spreads to the abdomen and pelvis if it isn't diagnosed and treated early. It primarily affects older women; about half of those diagnosed are age 63 or older.
Proteomics International has launched PromarkerEso at the ISDE World Congress in Brisbane (18–20 September). PromarkerEso is a world-first protein biomarker-based blood diagnostic that can rule out esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). A paper on the technology was also published in the journal Proteomes.
A researcher at the Hackensack Meridian Center for Discovery and Innovation (CDI) and physician-scientist colleagues from Hackensack Meridian Health have shown how a critical pathway is fundamental to the immune system.
Two things changed Lupita Nyong'o's life in 2014. She won an Academy Award and she was diagnosed with uterine fibroids.
Health insurance giant Anthem wanted $1,800 from Lauren Gonzalves for hospital nursery services after the birth of her son. But it had been two years since the Concord mother gave birth, she had already paid her out-of-pocket maximum and she believed her policy covered the care for which Anthem repeatedly sought payment.
Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar, in collaboration with Sri Sri Institute of Advanced Research and Fortis Escort Heart Institute, report that rhythmic breathing in Sudarshan Kriya Yoga (SKY) produces measurable shifts in brain rhythms associated with deep relaxation. The team finds that SKY practice increases theta and delta brain activity while reducing alpha power.
A new drug has shown unprecedented promise in lowering blood pressure and preventing the progression of kidney disease for people with hard-to-treat hypertension. The medication, baxdrostat, reduces the levels of a hormone that drives high blood pressure and could transform hypertension care.
Long COVID is associated with abnormal uterine bleeding, but not impaired ovarian function, according to a paper published in Nature Communications. The study identifies potential mechanisms for this relationship that could inform future therapeutic targets.
Gene expression governs whether neuroblastoma tumor cells exist in either the adrenergic (differentiated and sensitive to treatment) or mesenchymal (less differentiated and therapy-resistant) cell state. Tumors may switch between states, confounding treatment efforts. A study from St. Jude Children's Research Hospital indicates that the extent of this plasticity is underreported, but there is a way to circumvent this challenge therapeutically.
Students' anxieties over participating in activities or completing tasks can be managed by increasing their motivation toward positive goals they want to achieve, a study has shown.
University of Massachusetts Amherst researchers and scientists at Embr Labs, a Boston-based start-up, have developed an AI-driven algorithm that can accurately predict nearly 70% of hot flashes before they're perceived. The work, featured in the journal Psychophysiology, will be incorporated into the Embr Wave, a wearable wrist device clinically proven to manage hot flashes.
Nearly 3 in 10 adults in the United States have experienced lower back pain in any three-month period, making it the most common musculoskeletal pain. Back pain remains one of the leading causes of disability worldwide, affecting millions and often leading to chronic discomfort, missed work and invasive procedures.
The development of many psychiatric disorders, including depression, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, is known to be in great part influenced by genetics. Past research has identified various genes that appear to be associated with an increased risk of developing specific disorders, while also uncovering structural patterns commonly observed in the brains of affected individuals.
QUT researchers have created a prototype electronic device using a material made from seafood waste, paving the way for safe, flexible and sustainable wearable health sensors.
Researchers from Queen Mary University of London have developed and validated a new tool that could help GPs detect ovarian cancer earlier and improve patient outcomes cost-effectively.
What if your smart watch could sense when you're about to raid the fridge, and gently steer you toward a healthier choice instead?
Tulane University researchers have developed an enhanced CRISPR-based tuberculosis test that works with a simple tongue swab, a potential breakthrough that could allow easier, community-based screenings for the world's deadliest infectious disease.
The U.S. is in the midst of an opioid epidemic; overdose deaths from synthetic opioids such as fentanyl have increased more than 100-fold since 1999. Medications like buprenorphine, methadone and naltrexone can all help treat opioid use disorder (OUD), curbing relapse, overdoses and death. But many barriers exist to people with OUD getting these medications, from providers not receiving adequate training to people with OUD feeling too stigmatized to find a specialist.
More than 5 million Americans are living with permanent TBI-related disability related to traumatic brain injury, which can severely impact quality of life. Unfortunately, people with TBI are often socially stigmatized because of their disability.
