A new study led by Dr. Maram Khazen from The Max Stern Yezreel Valley College and Prof. Adam Rose from the Faculty of Medicine at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem sheds light on how primary care teams can encourage more temporally regular (TR) follow-up visits for patients with chronic health conditions.
Machine learning algorithms utilizing electronic health records can effectively predict two-year dementia risk among American Indian/Alaska Native adults aged 65 years and older, according to a University of California, Irvine-led study. The findings provide a valuable framework for other health care systems, particularly those serving resource-limited populations.
In a recent study, precancerous pancreatic lesions and some pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) tumors harboring KRAS mutations had higher-than-normal expression of the FGFR2 protein, and FGFR2 inactivation delayed KRAS-mutated PDAC development in mice.
An international team led by researchers from the Universitat Rovira i Virgili (URV) has developed an innovative piece of equipment in the field of medical technology: an intelligent device capable of monitoring the temperature of the skin continuously and accurately. The device uses a thermoelectric system that works without batteries or an external power supply to detect temperature variations associated with inflammation and infection. The results of the project have been published in the journal Advanced Science.
Lung cancer screening has the potential to catch lung cancer early and save lives—but only if people get screened. Although lung cancer screening is recommended in the U.S. for certain individuals with a history of smoking, only 18% of eligible individuals in the U.S. get screened. One suggested explanation has been that those eligible are resistant to receiving preventive health care, but a new study published in JAMA and led by researchers at Mass General Brigham indicates otherwise.
As the world’s population rapidly ages, a new study led by researchers at the Yale School of Public Health finds that people living with dementia are struggling at an alarming rate. Heightening the sense of despair was an additional finding that this lack of care has persisted for years.
Researchers at the University of Kentucky analyzed different factors that could explain the high mortality rates of colorectal cancer in Appalachian Kentucky.
Elite athletes have shared their worries about their sports career after pregnancy.
Researchers have gained a new understanding of how the brain processes reward and risk information. A study by neuroscientists Raymundo Báez-Mendoza from the German Primate Center (DPZ)—Leibniz Institute for Primate Research in Göttingen and Fabian Grabenhorst from the University of Oxford shows how nerve cells in the amygdala not only encode the probability and magnitude of rewards, but also dynamically process this information to predict value and risk.
A new study has identified the protein ADAMTS5 as playing a crucial role in the spread of ovarian cancer cells, offering a potential new target for future treatments.
