Times of transition, such as pregnancy and children starting school can be significant periods of stress and vulnerability within families. Studies have generally found that high levels of anxiety and depression in parents are linked to poorer behavioral and cognitive outcomes in children.
New cancer drug shows promise targeting genetic weakness in tumors
Imagine the body’s cells are well-behaved students in the classroom. The “teachers” are tumor suppressor genes, and they make sure cells follow the rules. But when tumor suppressor genes are away, cells may go astray.
High metabolism is an early sign of Alzheimer’s disease, finds study
An early phase in the process of developing Alzheimer’s disease is a metabolic increase in a part of the brain called the hippocampus, report researchers from Karolinska Institutet in a study published in Molecular Psychiatry. The discovery opens up for new potential methods of early intervention.
Cigarette style warning labels could reduce people’s meat consumption
Cigarette-style graphic warning labels could reduce people’s meat consumption, according to new research.
Trust is the most important factor for British South Asians when taking part in genetic research to tailor medications
Researchers from Queen Mary University of London have gathered detailed insights from the British South Asian community that could lead to more successful implementation of genetic testing to help tailor the use of routine medications. Their findings are published in The Pharmacogenomics Journal and indicate key issues that could affect the take up of this new type of genetic testing among patients.
Proof-of-concept study shows fossil fuels responsible for heart arrhythmias in mammals
One of the most common byproducts of the burning of fossil fuels, phenanthrene, causes heart arrhythmias in mice, proving for the first time it is toxic to mammals.
Next-generation influenza B vaccines provide broad and long-lasting protection against flu viruses in preclinical tests
Recent preclinical results indicate novel next-generation vaccine candidates developed at Cleveland Clinic protect against multiple strains of influenza and last longer than vaccines currently in use.
First-of-its-kind multimodal robot for post-stroke ankle-foot telerehabilitation
The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) has achieved another breakthrough in rehabilitation device development. The Mobile Ankle-foot Exoneuromusculoskeleton is the first-of-its-kind multimodal robot for ankle-foot rehabilitation specifically designed for stroke patients with hemiplegia, which helps improve the motor function of their lower limb and walking ability.
New position statement supports permanent standard time
