| New study paves way to better understand and treat those suffering from long COVID Posted: 09 Jun 2022 10:20 AM PDT A new study links SARS-CoV-2 specific T cells to lung function and those who suffer from long-term COVID symptoms (PASC). |
| Heavy drinkers four times more likely to smoke in England, study finds Posted: 09 Jun 2022 10:19 AM PDT Those who are among the heaviest drinkers in England are four times more likely to smoke than the general population and should be prioritized by the government in its plans to achieve 'smoke-free' status by 2030, experts say. |
| Development of a user-friendly, hot-melt, wound-healing adhesive Posted: 09 Jun 2022 07:18 AM PDT Scientist have developed a hot-melt tissue adhesive (i.e., medical glue that is applied in a molten state) capable of healing operative wounds. This adhesive has excellent medical material properties in terms of its ease of use, adhesiveness to tissues, biocompatibility and ability to prevent postoperative complications. |
| Posted: 09 Jun 2022 05:22 AM PDT A new study shows that unvaccinated children mount a rapid immune response to SARS-CoV-2 which may contribute to less severe symptoms, but which may also limit the development of an immune 'memory' response to ward off future infections. |
| Phage therapy for mycobacterium infections: More than 50% success rate Posted: 09 Jun 2022 05:22 AM PDT The number of reported cases using viruses to treat deadly Mycobacterium infections just went up by a factor of five. Researchers report 20 new case studies on the use of the experimental treatment, showing the therapy's success in more than half of the patients. |
| Posted: 08 Jun 2022 01:14 PM PDT An analysis of data from university COVID-19 screening programs reveals omicron arrived earlier and took over more quickly than experts predicted. Data from university screening programs helped researchers alert hospitals about an imminent surge of omicron cases. The findings suggest university screening programs could be a valuable tool for surveillance of future infectious diseases. |
| Study identifies receptor that could alleviate need for chemo, radiation pre-T cell therapy Posted: 08 Jun 2022 01:14 PM PDT A research team has shown that a synthetic IL-9 receptor allows cancer-fighting T cells to do their work without the need for chemotherapy or radiation. |
| Social isolation is directly associated with later dementia Posted: 08 Jun 2022 01:14 PM PDT Interdisciplinary study shows changes to brain structures associated with memory and cognitive function are directly linked to social isolation. The data shows that socially isolated people are 26% more likely to develop later dementia. The study has implications for health and social care policy, in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. |
| High optimism linked with longer life and living past 90 in women across racial, ethnic groups Posted: 08 Jun 2022 01:14 PM PDT Higher levels of optimism were associated with longer lifespan and living beyond age 90 in women across racial and ethnic groups. |
| Nicotine-sired male offspring at risk of addiction behavior and memory impairments, study finds Posted: 08 Jun 2022 01:14 PM PDT In a new study, researchers have discovered that paternal nicotine taking is associated with addiction-like behaviors, cognitive deficits, and anxiety-like behaviors in male offspring. |
| Walking towards healthier knees Posted: 08 Jun 2022 01:14 PM PDT A new study reveals that walking for exercise can reduce new frequent knee pain among people age 50 and older diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis, the most common form of arthritis. Additionally, findings from the study indicate that walking for exercise may be an effective treatment to slow the damage that occurs within the joint. |
| Preventing adverse birth outcomes could boost education, income Posted: 08 Jun 2022 11:29 AM PDT Reducing the excess prevalence of low birthweight, preterm birth or small-for-gestational-age birth in low- and middle-income countries may lead to substantial long-term human capital gains when it comes to both long-term schooling and lifetime income gains, according to a new study. |
| A new study shows benefits to dispatching mental health specialists in nonviolent 911 emergencies Posted: 08 Jun 2022 11:29 AM PDT As cities test different approaches to handling 911 calls, a new study shows dispatching mental health specialists for nonviolent emergencies can be beneficial. In Denver, it reduced reports of less serious crimes and lowered response costs. |
| Stem cell research reveals detailed genetic roadmap of glaucoma Posted: 08 Jun 2022 08:25 AM PDT A new, detailed genetic roadmap of glaucoma will help researchers develop new drugs to combat the disease, by identifying potential target areas to stall or reverse vision loss. |
