U.S. foreign aid cuts could result in over 10 million additional tuberculosis (TB) cases and 2.5 million more deaths in the next years, across 26 countries with high TB burden, found a study by Center for Modeling and Analysis, the U.S., and Stop TB Partnership, Switzerland published in PLOS Global Public Health.

When Spencer Gibson arrived at the University of Alberta four years ago to assume his new role as the Dianne and Irving Kipnes Endowed Chair in Lymphatic Disorders in the Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry, he knew the task ahead of him was a monumental one.

Almost nine out of 10 cases are ischemic strokes, caused by restricted blood flow in the brain, and the current gold-standard treatment that breaks up blood clots must be delivered within four and a half hours of symptoms appearing.

Living with type 2 diabetes (T2D) may double the risk of developing sepsis—with those aged younger than 60 years and men particularly susceptible, according to a long-term community-based study in Australia, being presented at this year's Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD), Vienna (15–19 Sept).

A microsimulation model was used to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of two glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1RAs), semaglutide and tirzepatide, for patients with osteoarthritis and obesity compared with usual care, diet and exercise, and weight loss surgeries.

Gaslighting could happen to anyone who trusts the wrong person, a McGill University researcher says. Willis Klein, a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Psychology, was part of a team from McGill and the University of Toronto that developed a new theoretical model with which to understand how manipulators are able to make their targets question their sense of reality over a period of time.

Not all products are equally beneficial for everyone. Some are double-edged swords—used appropriately, they can be lifesavers; but used in the wrong hands or the wrong way, there can be significant risks involved.

Imagine you are developing antibodies—drugs precisely aimed at a target, for example a viral protein or onco-marker. You test a series of antibodies and find that some work, while others do not.

Mobile integrated health (MIH) can help heart failure patients transition from the hospital to home, and may offer additional benefits to women and younger patients, say Columbia Nursing researchers in a report in JAMA Internal Medicine.
