Hip implants with a delta ceramic or oxidised zirconium head and highly crosslinked polyethylene liner or cup had the lowest risk of revision during the 15 years after surgery, a new study led by the University of Bristol has found.
Los fibromas uterinos son una condición común que afecta hasta al 80% de las mujeres a lo largo de su vida. Casi la mitad de estas mujeres experimentarán síntomas que afectarán su calidad de vida y fertilidad, incluido dolor intenso y anemia. Los fibromas uterinos son la principal razón para realizar la extirpación del útero a través de la histerectomía. Sin embargo, los investigadores de Mayo Clinic recomiendan alternativas de tratamiento mínimamente invasivas a la histerectomía en un artículo invitado sobre práctica clínica publicado en la New England Journal of Medicine.
Researchers at WashU Medicine have identified a possible way to make glioblastoma cells vulnerable to different types of immunotherapy. The strategy, which they demonstrated in cells in the lab, forces brain cancer cells to display targets for the immune system to attack. Their study was published in Nature Genetics.
Husker engineer Eric Markvicka is developing a new approach for detecting acute exacerbations of chronic conditions.

Researchers at the University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center have discovered a key reason why some cancers do not respond to immunotherapy: A metabolite transporter within the tumor microenvironment that blocks a key type of tumor cell death integral to immune response.
The American Joint Replacement Registry (AJRR) surpassed 4 million hip and knee arthroplasty procedures in its database in March, a milestone announced in the 11th edition of its Annual Report released today. Published by the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) Registry Program, the 2024 report analyzes more than 3.7 million of those procedures and reflects data submitted between 2012-2023 from 1,447 institutions across all 50 states and the District of Columbia. It marks an 18% growth in procedures from the previous year.
“Killer electrons” that travel at nearly light speed inside Earth's Van Allen belts — the zone that surrounds the planet and traps energetic charged particles — pose a major threat to equipment in space by causing malfunctions in electronics.
Foster comes to WHOI after an extensive national search and brings a wealth of experience and a strong commitment to academic excellence and innovation.
Researchers have taken direct images of the Wigner molecular crystal, a new quantum phase of an electron solid. The breakthrough may advance future technologies for quantum simulations.
One of the top worries about telehealth is that it will drive up the use of tests and scans that patients don’t need, wasting money and resources. In fact, a new study shows, low-value care didn’t rise faster at primary care practices that used telehealth the most.
In a study published November 7 in the journal Cell Reports Medicine, researchers from Tufts University School of Medicine and Vanderbilt University School of Medicine show that people with schizophrenia generate distinct neural patterns when asked to make decisions based on conflicting information. The work offers one of the first biological tests to assess whether someone is prone to inflexible thinking and, by monitoring changes in these patterns, a new way to measure whether treatments are working.
Ivan Vujkovic-Cvijin, PhD, is a pioneer in the study of the gut microbiota and the surprising ways these microorganisms living in our digestive tracts affect our overall health. His discoveries have been featured in Nature, Science Translational Medicine, Cell Reports and other top scientific journals.
A Stony Brook University-led research team has created a computerized method in which photos of penguins in Antarctica taken by tourists can be analyzed by the technique to decipher the location of the photo, thereby indicating the location of penguins over time and providing a clue as to what is causing changes in their abundance and distribution.
Surgeons at the forefront of trauma and critical care surgery discussed at a recent news conference the urgent need to make quick access to blood more widely available to injured patients before they arrive at a hospital.
