Chemists at Saint Louis University, in collaboration with scientists at the College of Charleston and the NSF/NASA Center for Chemical Evolution, found that deliquescent minerals, which dissolve in water they absorb from humid air, can assist the construction of proteins from simpler building blocks during cycles timed to mimic day and night on the early Earth.
Researchers developed 3D human tissue culture models of pediatric and adult brain cancers in a brain-mimicking microenvironment, that includes brain-derived extracellular matrix – providing support for surrounding neural tissue. The development is a significant advancement for the study of brain tumor biology and pharmacological response.
Metal complexes show a fascinating behavior in their interactions with light, which for example is utilized in organic light emitting diodes, solar cells, quantum computers, or even in cancer therapy. In many of these applications, the electron spin, a kind of inherent rotation of the electrons, plays an important role. Recently, the chemists Sebastian Mai and Leticia González from the Faculty of Chemistry of the University of Vienna succeeded in simulating the extremely fast spin flip processes that are triggered by the light absorption of metal complexes. The study is published in the journal "Chemical Science".
Many admissions to the intensive care unit may be preventable, potentially decreasing health care costs and improving care, according to new research published online in the Annals of the American Thoracic Society.
A study published online on Friday, October 4, in The American Journal of Psychiatry found that deep brain stimulation (DBS) of an area in the brain called the subcallosal cingulate (SCC) provides a robust antidepressant effect that is sustained over a long period of time in patients with treatment-resistant depression—the most severely depressed patients who have not responded to other treatments
当曾接受冠状动脉旁路移植术(CABG)的患者因胸痛复发而需要二次手术时，大多会施行经皮冠状动脉介入治疗(PCI)，俗称冠状动脉血管成形术及支架植入术。
La investigación sobre la anatomía patológica de la lesión pulmonar asociada al uso del cigarrillo electrónico está en etapas iniciales, pero, de acuerdo con un estudio llevado adelante por Mayo Clinic que se publicó en el The New England Journal of Medicine, las lesiones pulmonares por uso del cigarrillo electrónico posiblemente son producto de la intoxicación directa o del daño en los tejidos provocado por los vapores químicos nocivos.
• Compared with other pain medications, prescription opioids were linked with higher risks of death and hospitalization, particularly with higher doses. • The risk of death associated with opioids was highest among people with lower kidney function.
Cincinnati Children's will use a $28M federal grant to serve as the data coordinating center for the Rare Diseases Clinical Research Network. The network includes 20 groups of medical centers searching for improved treatments for hundreds of rare diseases.
A new nationwide clinical trial hopes to discover if patients that experience cardiac arrest survive more often and have a better recovery based on how long they have their body temperature cooled.
Being a teenager is hard enough, but Dr. Yishan Shen, an assistant professor in the School of Family and Consumer Sciences at Texas State University, has uncovered additional challenges for youths between 10 and 19 who are targets of bullying during contentious political campaigns.
A Baylor University researcher’s prototype smartphone app — designed to help parents detect early signs of various eye diseases in their children such as retinoblastoma, an aggressive pediatric eye cancer — has passed its first big test.
虽然研究显示药物辅助治疗可帮助阿片类药物成瘾者，但根据对目前阿片类药物成瘾医疗数据的综述，美国食品药品监督管理局(FDA)批准的三种药物未被充分利用。该综述发表在Mayo Clinic Proceedings的十月刊中。
New research from the University of Georgia suggests that knowing how to report a concussion—rather than knowing more about concussions—is a greater factor in prompting athletes to take action.
African-American infants are twice as likely to die in the first year of life than white infants, for reasons that are complex and not well understood. Results from a recent study suggest that specific abnormalities in the placenta from African-American preterm births may hold clues to the physical mechanisms behind racial disparities in preemie health outcomes.
A new study led by University of Chicago Medicine researchers suggests the faster a baby with congenital toxoplasmosis can be given a fluid-draining shunt to treat their hydrocephalus – even in cases of severe hydrocephalus – the better their cognitive outcome.
Research shows how transgender people who are also racial and ethnic minorities have a difficult time finding a health care setting where all aspects of their identity are welcome, understood and addressed
