Whooping cough cases are rising, and doctors are bracing for yet another tough year.

DGIST Department of New Biology Professor Yea Kyungmoo and his research team have developed a next-generation exosome-based drug-delivery technology to effectively treat metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), an incurable metabolic disease, in collaboration with Professor Baek Moon-chang of Kyungpook National University School of Medicine.

Shruti Gupta, MD, MPH, and David Leaf, MD, MMSc, of the Renal Division, Department of Medicine at Brigham and Women’s Hospital are the first and senior authors, respectively, of a paper published in JAMA Oncology, “Intravenous Magnesium and Cisplatin-Associated Acute Kidney Injury: A Multicenter Cohort Study.”

A novel combination therapy offers better outcomes for patients with KRAS G12C metastatic colorectal cancer that have stopped responding to chemotherapy, according to a Phase 3 clinical trial by researchers at City of Hope.

A study published in BMC Nutrition demonstrates that providing medically tailored meals (MTM) to patients with heart failure (HF) and malnutrition risk following hospital discharge significantly improves their nutritional status and keeps hospital readmission rates well below local and national averages.

Bad habits such as smoking, heavy drinking and lack of exercise must be tackled as early as possible to boost the odds of a happy and healthy old age.

Every breath we take, every meal we eat, and every environment we encounter leaves a molecular fingerprint in our bodies—a hidden record of our lifelong exposures. In this week’s edition of the journal Science, leading researchers in the field of exposomics explain how cutting-edge technologies are unlocking this biological archive, ushering in a new era of disease prevention and personalized medicine. The scientists lay out a roadmap to overcome technical and logistical challenges and realize the field’s full potential.

Running a marathon is no small feat. Athletes can expect to cover between 50-60,000 steps, burn over 3,000 calories and expel multiple liters of sweat to keep cool.

Fewer babies are being born in the U.S., and experts are worried what that portends for the future.

The restricted mean survival time (RMST) analysis technique was introduced in health care research about 25 years ago and since then has become widely used in economics, engineering, business and other professions.
