    Investigadores de Mayo Clinic recomiendan alternativas a la histerectomía para los fibromas uterinos, según un estudio
    Mayo Clinic

    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 make glioblastoma cells visible to attacking immune cells
    Washington University in St. Louis

    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.

    Does More Virtual Care Mean More Low-Value Care? Study Suggests No
    Michigan Medicine - University of Michigan

    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.

    People with schizophrenia show distinct brain activity when faced with conflicting information
    Tufts University

    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.
