| Mental illness associated with increased death from cardiovascular disease Posted: 19 Apr 2022 11:07 AM PDT Compared to the general population, people with severe mental illness, including schizophrenia, have higher levels of cardiovascular-related mortality, and that association has become stronger over recent decades, according to a new study. |
| New approach against chronic inflammation: Treating mice with so-called 'nanobodies' Posted: 19 Apr 2022 08:24 AM PDT Researchers have succeeded in mitigating chronic inflammation in mice using customized 'mini-antibodies.' These nanobodies enabled them to dissolve molecular complexes in tissue that normally activate the immune system. The nanobodies produced may in future help to slow down unwanted inflammatory reactions that cause diseases such as arthritis or neurodegeneration. |
| Cross-racial study of 1.87m vets shows wide disparities in dementia Posted: 19 Apr 2022 08:24 AM PDT In what is believed to be the largest study to date on race and dementia, researchers tracked health and demographic data from close to two million veterans. It compared rates of dementia across five racial groups and showed significant race-based variations in the incidence of the condition. |
| Study reveals new therapeutic option for head and neck carcinomas Posted: 19 Apr 2022 07:32 AM PDT The various manifestations of head and neck carcinomas rank sixth in frequency worldwide and are fatal for about half a million people every year. In a quarter of cases, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) and, currently, is not always treatable. A research team has now discovered a possible new therapeutic option. |
| Psychiatric symptoms in Alzheimer´s disease Posted: 19 Apr 2022 07:32 AM PDT In addition to memory problems and other cognitive symptoms, most people with Alzheimer's disease also suffer from mental health issues. It has long been unclear whether these occur because of tissue changes in the brain, or whether they represent psychological reactions to cognitive symptoms. |
| A better way to reduce child maltreatment Posted: 19 Apr 2022 07:32 AM PDT A first-of-its-kind national study has found that a special program adopted in many states to help some families at risk of child maltreatment has been surprisingly successful. |
| Novel treatment effective for sidewall brain aneurysm, study finds Posted: 19 Apr 2022 07:32 AM PDT A novel mesh plug that has been traditionally used to treat brain aneurysms occurring where the blood vessels branch out was found to be equally effective in treating aneurysms on the side of the vessel, according to a new study. |
| Fruit snack or edible? Study finds some cannabis products look like popular snacks Posted: 19 Apr 2022 06:23 AM PDT Some cannabis edibles look remarkably like popular snack foods and may be easily confused for them, finds a new study. |
| Study finds infertility history linked with increased risk of heart failure Posted: 18 Apr 2022 01:49 PM PDT A woman's reproductive history can help predict her future risk of heart disease. |
| What food sector needs to know about how to reduce sodium Posted: 18 Apr 2022 01:49 PM PDT Sodium is an essential micronutrient, but the amount we need is small. Three slices of bread or one teaspoon of table salt will do it, and chances are your daily sodium intake is far greater. More than 90% of Americans consume too much sodium, which can lead to hypertension, high blood pressure, and increased risk of heart disease and stroke. A new article provides a comprehensive review of scientific literature on sodium reduction strategies in food production. |
| Genetic analysis provides insights into the cause of hydrocephalus, or 'water on the brain' Posted: 18 Apr 2022 12:21 PM PDT Genetic studies of children with hydrocephalus ('water on the brain') combined with mouse models indicate that in certain genetic subtypes, the condition arises due to abnormal neurodevelopment that disrupts mechanical stability of the brain. Treatment strategies need to optimize brain development beyond the current standard of simply draining brain fluid. |
