Tratar un cáncer cerebral se vuelve complicado cuando comienza a crecer, y un tipo frecuente, conocido como glioma, tiene una baja tasa de supervivencia a cinco años. En un nuevo estudio publicado por Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, investigadores de Mayo Clinic informan sobre una nueva plataforma quirúrgica utilizada durante las cirugías que proporciona información importante para la toma de decisiones sobre el tratamiento del tumor en cuestión de minutos.

Poor diet continues to take a toll on American adults. In a study from the Food is Medicine Institute at the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University published today in the Annals of Internal Medicine, researchers found that diet quality among U.S. adults improved modestly between 1999 and 2020. However, they also found that the number of Americans with poor diet quality remains stubbornly high. Most notably, disparities persist and, in some cases, are worsening.
