Researchers have created a small molecule that prevents or impedes tooth cavities in a preclinical model. The inhibitor blocks the function of a key virulence enzyme in an oral bacterium, a molecular sabotage that is akin to throwing a monkey wrench into machinery to jam the gears.
B-Line Medical’s SimCapture and LiveCapture products are in use at 14 of 20 U.S. News & World Report best hospitals
The American Thoracic Society is extremely disappointed with the Department of Transportation’s decision to withdraw an advance notice of a proposed rule regarding screening commercial truck drivers and train engineers for sleep apnea. Abundant evidence indicates that undiagnosed or untreated sleep apnea is the root cause of many preventable fatal and non-fatal driving-related accidents.
Researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have developed a new measurement for the volume and activity of beta cells, the source of the sugar-regulating hormone insulin.
It is that time of year for kids returning to school to get vaccinated before the school year starts. But the controversy over the HPV vaccine continues to rage as it has since its introduction in the U.S. in 2014.
Researchers have developed a new methodology for identifying disease-causing genetic mutations in the non-coding region of the genome. This portion of the genome has remained uninterpretable until now.
The American College of Radiology (ACR) developed 3 new guidance documents and revised 32 others to advance the science of radiology and improve the quality of service to patients.
Millions of people die every year from dehydration as a result of exposure and illness. In humans, even the most minor dehydration can compromise the kidneys causing lifelong, irreparable issues or even death. However, some animals living in desert environments are able to survive both acute and chronic dehydration. While these animals, like cactus mice, have evolved over time to deal with environmental stressors like dehydration, researchers at the University of New Hampshire have found it’s not the physical makeup that is helping them survive, but rather their genetic makeup.
This week, in a pair of papers published in Cell, researchers turned to an ant species — the Indian jumping ant -- that does not behave like most ants. In this species any female worker can change into a “pseudo-queen,” in the absence of the true queen and establish dominance on her colony. The teams genetically engineered this species in different ways using now-famous CRISPR technology that dramatically changed their social and reproductive behavior.
Cancer immunotherapies that block two different checkpoints on T cells launch immune attacks on cancer by expanding distinct types of T cell that infiltrate tumors, researchers from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center report in the journal Cell.
• Birmingham committed to the “90:90:90” principle, whereby 90 percent of people living with HIV will know their HIV status, 90 percent of those who know their status will be engaged with clinical care and on anti-HIV therapy, and 90 percent of those on treatment will achieve full viral suppression • Paris Declaration confirms 13th city to commit to being a Fast-Track City in the effort to end the spread of HIV/AIDS • HIV/AIDS research powerhouse, UAB stands behind commitment of city to end the spread of the disease
A third of insured people with cancer end up paying more out-of-pocket than they expected, despite having health coverage, researchers at the Duke Cancer Institute have found.
Together with the NCCN Guidelines for Patients®: Colon Cancer, these free resources aid in decision-making for patients with colon and rectal cancers.
The American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) recently welcomed Margarita Valdez as its assistant director of congressional relations, a key position on its government relations and advocacy team.
Parents can make sure their children get the new school year off to a healthy start by getting checkups for them during the summer break.
A routinely used hospital tool can predict which liver transplant recipients are more likely to do poorly after surgery, according to a study led by Cedars-Sinai. The findings could help doctors identify which patients should receive physical therapy or other targeted interventions to improve their recovery.
Neil R. Malhotra, MD, an assistant professor of Neurosurgery and Orthopaedic Surgery and the vice chairman of operations in the department of Neurosurgery, performed the first endoscopic percutaneous lumbar spinal nerve decompression and discectomy in Pennsylvania
Many of the 4.7 million dog bites that take place each year happen in the summer, when both dogs and children are outdoors and interacting more.
Vanderbilt University Medical Center is one of nine centers across the United States to participate in the EXPAND Heart Pivotal Trial, which has the potential to change the way donor hearts are preserved and transported to recipients.
