Women with endometriosis are four times more likely to develop ovarian cancer, and those with more severe cases are at an even greater risk.
Two studies from Michigan Medicine may provide hope for patients with irritable bowel syndrome struggling to implement the traditional low-FODMAP diet. The resulting papers— “FODMAPs aren’t created equal: Results of a randomized reintroduction trial in patients with irritable bowel syndrome” and “Is a Simplified, Less Restrictive Low FODMAP Diet Possible? Results from a Double-Blind, Pilot Randomized Controlled”—both appeared in Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology.
A group of coffee producers has filmed an extremely rare small carnivore, the Amazon weasel (Neogale africana), near their shade-grown plots as part of a citizen science monitoring program. This species has never previously been recorded in Bolivia.
The UW Medicine-led research focuses on delivering a series of protein packets inside a shuttle vector to replace the defective DMD gene within the muscles. The added genetic code will then start producing dystrophin, the protein lacking in patients with muscular dystrophy.
New sociological research looks into how and why people sometimes avoid strong ties when facing personal issues. Authors find avoidance is not rare. It is neither limited to specific intimates, nor limited to specific topics. Isolation might be less a matter of having no intimates than of having repeatedly to avoid them.
Tackling brain cancer is complicated, but groundbreaking new research could help add another tool to the cancer-fighting arsenal. A team from Georgia Tech and Virginia Tech published a paper in APL Bioengineering in May that explores a new option that could one day be used to target glioblastoma, a deadly and fast-growing brain tumor.
Saint Louis University School of Medicine researchers led by Krista Lentine, M.D., Ph.D., professor of medicine, will assess how the use of genetic testing may mitigate racial disparities in the health outcomes of people with chronic kidney disease, including organ donors and transplant recipients.
Electroencephalograms, or EEGs, are tests used to visualize brain activity and diagnose seizures in patients with epilepsy. Research from Michigan State University shows that while practitioners value EEGs for the information they provide, patients value EEGs in ways that far outweigh the test’s clinical utility to practitioners.
Hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating, is a common medical condition that affects an estimated 15.8 million people in the U.S. It is normal to sweat when you overheat, or your nerves get the best of you. However, if you find yourself sweating profusely even without engaging in physical activity or exposure to high temperatures, you may have hyperhidrosis.
Hosein Foroutan is on a mission to reduce the uncertainty regarding climate change. While many people think of the effects of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, there are other aspects of climate change that are less familiar to the general public. Foroutan, associate professor in civil and environmental engineering and an affiliated faculty of the Global Change Center in the Fralin Life Sciences Institute, wants to bring these impacts to the forefront.
