First metatarsophalangeal arthrodesis procedures are a common surgical intervention used to treat pain associated at the first metatarsophalangeal joint associated with degenerative changes.The treatment involves fusing the joint of the big toe to correct the effects of arthritis and prevent any further deformation of the joint.
New research from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign has linked multiple types of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS, also known as “forever chemicals”) with increased risk of cardiovascular diseases in postmenopausal women. Specifically, the study reveals how PFAS chemicals interact with pro-inflammatory pathways in older women, providing potential explanations for the increased risk.
A new initiative funded by The University of Texas System and the state of Texas seeks to improve care for trauma patients, including both service members and civilians.
In an era where sustainable energy is paramount, a groundbreaking study provides critical insights into battery health management. It meticulously examines the design, optimization, fault detection, and recycling of Lithium-ion, Lead Acid, and Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries—crucial components for the next generation of portable devices, electric vehicles, and renewable energy systems.
A new Harvey L. Neiman Health Policy Institute study found that from 2014 to 2023 the number of medical practices with affiliated radiologists decreased 14.7% even though the number of radiologists increased 17.3%. As such, the average number of radiologists per practice increased from 9.7 to 17.9 over the study.
The foundation recognized Slamon for his seminal contributions to cancer research that helped shape the field of precision medicine in breast cancer and paved the way for the development of other targeted therapies in oncology.
Below are summaries of recent Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center research findings and other news. March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, contact our media team to set up interviews.
A team of researchers from the Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine has developed a new method for target DNA sequence amplification, testing and analysis called AMPLON.
Over 200 of the top vended laundry store owners and investors came together May 20-22 at PGA National Resort in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., for Excellence in Laundry, the premier industry event produced by CLA.
Researchers developed Schiff base crystals with unique bending, twisting, and acid-induced deformations, enabling adjustable color emission from green to deep red via protonic acid vapor. These crystals can be reconfigured through reversible protonation, offering new opportunities for flexible, lightweight optoelectronic devices and tuners.
By: Bill Wellock | Published: June 5, 2024 | 8:43 am | SHARE: When students leave classrooms for summer vacation, minds wander from books to barbecues, pencils to pools, standardized tests to being stressed less.That shift in attention contributes to summer learning loss, a challenge for educators who will have to teach new material to students when the next school year begins.

Students participate in 15th annual lake cleanup in Cooperstown, NY
Exploring the ongoing potential of the technical overlap between astronomy and medicine, experts from the U.S. National Science Foundation’s National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) and the medical imaging field presented to an audience of around 2,000 at the prestigious International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (ISMRM) Conference in Singapore.
Older Americans may be missing out on a wide range of programs and services that could help them meet their needs or assist their aging loved ones, a new poll suggests. Most older adults don’t know about important public resources for older adults and their caregivers, either by name or general description.
Safety tips to prevent accidental exposures and injuries
Recent study has uncovered the pivotal role of chromosomal inversions in suppressing recombination and preserving key genotypes in cabbage. This discovery is set to revolutionize our understanding of plant genetics and breeding strategies, offering a pathway to enhance crop traits and resilience.
A rare conifer, Cupressus gigantea, has an unexpectedly lower genetic load despite its dwindling population size. This study explores the evolutionary strategy behind its survival, focusing on the purging of deleterious mutations that contribute to its enduring legacy in the face of climate change and habitat fragmentation.
Car tires contain hundreds of chemical additives that can leach out of them. This is how they end up in crops and subsequently in the food chain. Researchers at the Center for Microbiology and Environmental Systems Science at the University of Vienna and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem have now detected these chemical residues in leafy vegetables for the first time. Although the concentrations were low, the evidence was clear, a finding that is also known for drug residues in plant-based foods.
