Cart is empty Hormone therapy may be associated with menopause and fertility treatment, but now an SDU-led research team reports that certain intestinal hormones seem to have a beneficial effect on the processes behind the formation of scar tissue in the liver (liver fibrosis).
International team uses AI platform to find dual targets for aging and cancer
An international research team is the first to use artificial intelligence (AI) analysis to identify dual-purpose target candidates for the treatment of cancer and aging, the most promising of which was experimentally validated. The findings were published in the journal Aging Cell.
Study: Proposed law would expand methadone access, but gaps would remain
The federal Modernizing Opioid Treatment Act, or MOTA, would expand methadone access to an additional 14% of census tracts in the U.S., according to new research from the University of Pittsburgh published recently in Health Affairs Scholar.
Evidence of cerebral microstructural reorganization in symptomatic children following mild traumatic brain injury
A new study published in the Journal of Neurotrauma shows that children with persistent symptoms following mild traumatic brain injury had evidence of ongoing cerebral microstructural changes.
Study finds vitamin B12 is a key player in cellular reprogramming and tissue regeneration
Vitamin B12 is a well-known micronutrient that has long been acknowledged for its essential role in maintaining nerve function, supporting red blood cell production, and facilitating DNA synthesis, all vital processes for overall health. Researchers led by Dr. Manuel Serrano at IRB Barcelona have now revealed that vitamin B12 also plays a pivotal role in cellular reprogramming and tissue regeneration. The findings have been published in the journal Nature Metabolism
New study reveals molecular causes of rare neurological condition in children
A new study involving University of Portsmouth researchers has uncovered key molecular defects underlying a rare developmental brain condition in children.
Exercise may reduce heart failure risk for people with depression or anxiety
Physical activity may reduce the risk of heart failure among people with depression or anxiety more so than in people without the mental health conditions, according to new research.
‘AI virtual patients’ diagnostic application breaks spatial and geographical barriers for medical training
With the rapid development and extensive applications of generative artificial intelligence (AI) technology across various sectors, Dr. Michael Co Tiong-hong from the LKS Faculty of Medicine, the University of Hong Kong (HKUMed), and Dr. John Yuen Tsz-hon from the Department of Computer Science, HKU, have jointly developed Hong Kong’s first “AI virtual patients” diagnostic application for training medical students.
Young people less likely to study at university if mother has maternal depression, finds study
Young people whose mothers experienced periods of depression during their lifetime were less likely to study at university, new research led by the University of Bristol has found. The study is published in the Journal of Affective Disorders.
Developing models that predict poor clinical outcome in COVID-19 patients
Using basic information on 380,081 patients in the Basque Autonomous Community infected by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, collaboration between mathematicians from the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) and medical staff from the Galdakao-Usansolo Hospital has led to the proposal of a set of risk scales that are very easy to calculate, have a high predictive capacity and also function with the omicron variant. These scales may be of use in primary care, emergency departments and hospital admissions.
