UC Davis MIND Institute researchers used machine learning to crunch 10,000 autoantibody pattern combinations to identify maternal biomarkers associated with a sub-type of autism. The findings have implications for early diagnosis and intervention.
During the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, nearly one in four families responded that they would be unlikely to bring their child to the Emergency Department if they had an emergency condition, according to a survey from Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago published in the journal Academic Emergency Medicine. Greater hesitancy to seek emergency care was found in families living in under-resourced communities, those who rely on public insurance and in families who are Black, Latinx or Asian.
A study led by researchers at the UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center found shortening a traditional 45-day course of radiation to a five-day course delivered in larger doses is safe and as effective as conventional radiation for men with high-risk forms of prostate cancer.
Man's best friend might actually belong to a woman.
They are among the largest predators ever to walk the Earth, but experts have discovered that some baby tyrannosaurs were only the size of a Border Collie dog when they took their first steps.
Scientists have shown where bird species would exist in the absence of human activity under research that could provide a new approach to setting conservation priorities.
One of the greatest mysteries in the universe is why the matter and anti-matter from the Big Bang did not all annihilate into pure energy. One scenario suggests a hypothetical, extremely rare nuclear decay where an atomic nucleus decays by emitting two electrons, creating additional matter. This paper reports on recent progress on related experiments.
What care do veterans need when recovering after suicide attempts? The answer may be different for women compared to men veterans, reports a qualitative study in Medical Care, part of a special issue devoted to new research on suicide risk and prevention in women. The journal is published in the Lippincott portfolio by Wolters Kluwer.
Humans are among the few species that lack overt physical indicators of female fertility. One explanation for concealed ovulation in human females is that hiding fertility from males helps females secure resources from males for raising children. A new model developed by a team of evolutionary scientists casts doubt on this idea, showing that females might have evolved to conceal ovulation from one another, not from males.
A nuclear war could trigger an unprecedented El Niño-like warming episode in the equatorial Pacific Ocean, slashing algal populations by 40 percent and likely lowering the fish catch, according to a Rutgers-led study. The research, published in the journal Communications Earth & Environment, shows that turning to the oceans for food if land-based farming fails after a nuclear war is unlikely to be a successful strategy – at least in the equatorial Pacific.
A new study from Indiana University researchers finds that most high-school age youth are willing to wear masks to help prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus, but that more education is needed on how to wear masks properly and on the importance of consistent commitment to public health guidelines.
DALLAS – Jan. 25, 2021 – Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) cells are missing a surface protein that triggers an immune response, allowing them to hide from one of the body’s key cancer defenses, a new study led by UT Southwestern researchers suggests. The findings, reported online today in Cancer Research, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research, could lead to new treatments for SCLC, which has no effective therapies.
Researchers from Cornell University and the National Park Service have pinpointed and confirmed the location of the remnants of a wooden fort in Alaska – the Tlingit people’s last physical bulwark against Russian colonization forces in 1804 – by using geophysical imaging techniques and ground-penetrating radar.
A new study finds that older cancer patients are less likely to have optimal results following their cancer operation if they live in an area highly affected by social challenges, especially if they are racial-ethnic minorities.
In a recent study, researchers from Rutgers University explored the therapeutic response to Tamoxifen, a drug that blocks the activity of estrogen to the breast, in estrogen-receptor (ER) positive breast cancer by using a computational framework to predict treatment resistance based on behavior of molecular pathways.
A UVA physician’s software that monitors patients to predict clinical problems is helping COVID patients.
在美国的男性和女性中，每年大约有150万例的心脏病发作和中风事件。性别和年龄在很大程度上影响着谁会出现心脏病发作、治疗心脏病发作的方法以及心脏病发作患者的最终出院后结果。妙佑医疗国际(Mayo Clinic) 研究人员在妙佑医疗国际学报(Mayo Clinic Proceedings) 上发表的研究结果中讨论了这些性别和年龄差异。
مدينة روتشستر، ولاية مينيسوتا - يواصل الباحثون دراسة آثار فيروس كورونا المستجد (كوفيد-19) على القلب، ومنها التهاب عضلة القلب - وهو التهاب مركّز في عضلة القلب. وتشير الأبحاث الجديدة الصادرة عن مايو كلينك (Mayo Clinic) إلى أن التهاب عضلة القلب قد لا يكون مسؤولًا عن الإصابة القلبية في العديد من حالات فيروس كورونا المستجد (كوفيد-19).
Los investigadores continúan estudiando los efectos de la COVID-19 sobre el corazón, incluida la miocarditis, que es una inflamación concentrada en el músculo cardíaco. Los nuevos estudios de Mayo Clinic plantean que en muchos casos de COVID-19, la miocarditis podría no ser la responsable de los daños cardíacos.
En Estados Unidos, anualmente se suscitan alrededor de 1,5 millones de ataques cardíacos en hombres y mujeres. El sexo y la edad tienen mucho que ver con quién sufre un ataque cardíaco, con los métodos usados para tratarlo y con el resultado obtenido después de la hospitalización de las víctimas.
