A new study by researchers in the University of Minnesota College of Science and Engineering’s St. Anthony Falls Laboratory found that popular wakesurf boats require a greater distance from the shoreline and other boats compared to more typical recreational boats. This distance is needed to reduce the potential impact of their larger waves.
Minnesota has the lowest age-adjusted heart disease mortality in the U.S.; yet, African American adults 35 to 63 have nearly double the rate of death from cardiovascular disease, compared to their white counterparts.
There’s good news for women with multiple sclerosis (MS)—researchers now say the disease may not flare up again right after pregnancy as they had long believed, according to a preliminary study released today that will be presented at the American Academy of Neurology’s 71st Annual Meeting in Philadelphia, May 4 to 10, 2019. Most people with MS have the relapsing-remitting form of the disease, where symptoms flare up, then go into periods of remission.
People who report an elevated number of depression symptoms may be more likely to have a stroke years later than people with no depression symptoms or a low number of depression symptoms, according to a preliminary study released today that will be presented at the American Academy of Neurology’s 71st Annual Meeting in Philadelphia, May 4 to 10, 2019.
For people with multiple sclerosis (MS), drinking around 290 calories per day of soda or other sugar-sweetened beverages, or the equivalent of about two cans of non-diet soda, may be tied to more severe symptoms and a higher level of disability compared to people with MS who seldom consume sugar-sweetened beverages, according to a preliminary study released today that will be presented at the American Academy of Neurology’s 71st Annual Meeting in Philadelphia, May 4 to 10, 2019. People who seldom drank sugar-sweetened beverages consumed an average of seven calories in sugar-sweetened beverages per day, or the equivalent of one-and-a-half cans of non-diet soda per month. Soda and other sweet beverages were the only type of food that was related to MS symptoms in the study.
It may seem counterintuitive, but having some extra body fat may be linked to an increased chance of surviving a stroke, according to a preliminary study released today that will be presented at the American Academy of Neurology’s 71st Annual Meeting in Philadelphia, May 4 to 10, 2019.

Medical marijuana may bring relief to older people who have symptoms like pain, sleep disorders or anxiety due to chronic conditions including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, neuropathy, spinal cord damage and multiple sclerosis, according to a preliminary study released today that will be presented at the American Academy of Neurology’s 71st Annual Meeting in Philadelphia, May 4 to 10, 2019. The study not only found medical marijuana may be safe and effective, it also found that one-third of participants reduced their use of opioids. However, the study was retrospective and relied on participants reporting whether they experienced symptom relief, so it is possible that the placebo effect may have played a role. Additional randomized, placebo-controlled studies are needed.

Playing professional soccer may be linked to an increased risk of developing amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), according to a preliminary study released today that will be presented at the American Academy of Neurology’s 71st Annual Meeting in Philadelphia, May 4 to 10, 2019. The study also found that soccer players may develop the disease 21 years earlier than people in the general population do.
While drugs that lower blood pressure and cholesterol have been shown to be beneficial for heart health, a new study has found that two such drugs may not provide a similar benefit to the brain. The study, published in the February 27, 2019, online issue of Neurology®, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology, found that when older people took candesartan plus hydrochlorothiazide to lower blood pressure or rosuvastatin to lower cholesterol, or a combination of the two, the drugs did not slow decline in thinking and memory.

جاكسونفيل، فلوريدا - اكتشف فريق من الباحثين في Mayo Clinic أن المرضى الأمريكيين من أصل إسباني الذين يعانون من مرض ألزهايمر يميلون إلى البقاء على قيد الحياة لفترة أطول بكثير مقارنةً بالمجموعات الإثنية والعرقية الأخرى، وفقًا لإحدى الدراسات التي أُجريت في مرض ألزهايمر والخرف: مجلة جمعية ألزهايمر. وقد تبين أن الأمريكيين من أصل إسباني يتعايشون مع المرض في المتوسط 12 عامًا بدءًا من وقت ظهور الأعراض.
Leprosy has a history that has spanned centuries and societies across the globe. Yet, it continues to be a problem — even in the modern era. Sufferers from the chronic and infectious skin disease still face the social stigma and lack of medical care that people have endured since the origins of the disease itself. Although leprosy can be treated, the World Health Organization reported 216,108 cases in 2016, with some of these patients seeking treatment at Mayo Clinic's Rochester campus.
Keeping physically and mentally active in middle age may be tied to a lower risk of developing dementia decades later, according to a study published in the February 20, 2019, online issue of Neurology®, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology. Mental activities included reading, playing instruments, singing in a choir, visiting concerts, gardening, doing needlework or attending religious services.

Healthy white blood cells, called “T-cells,” play a crucial role in how the body fights follicular lymphoma. That's according to the results of a study led by Mayo Clinic hematologists Zhi Zhang Yang, M.D., and Stephen Ansell, M.D., Ph.D., that was published in Cell Reports. T-cells are a key part of the immune system and protect the body by fighting infections and cancer.

Hispanic-Americans were found to live an average of 12 years with the disease from the time of the onset of symptoms.
As células-tronco pluripotentes induzidas, o trabalho intenso de muitos projetos médicos regenerativos, começam como células diferenciadas que são reprogramadas para células-tronco pluripotentes por meio da exposição a uma série complexa de coquetéis genéticos. Pesquisadores da Mayo Clinic agora relatam que usando o vetor do vírus do sarampo eles reduziram o processo de multivetor de quatro fatores de reprogramação para um único processo de vetor de “um ciclo”.
تبدأ الخلايا الجذعية متعددة القدرات المستحثة، التي تعد العمود الفقري للعديد من مشروعات الطب التجديدي، كخلايا متباينة يتم إعادة برمجتها إلى خلايا جذعية متعددة القدرات عن طريق التعرض لمجموعة معقدة من مزيج من الجينات. أفاد باحثو Mayo الآن باستخدام ناقل فيروس الحصبة؛ فلقد قاموا بتقليص العمليات المتعددة الناقلات ذات عوامل إعادة البرمجة الأربعة إلى عملية ناقلات فردية "دورة واحدة". يقولون إن العملية آمنة ومستقرة وأسرع ويمكن استخدامها للترجمة السريرية. تظهر النتائج في مجلة Gene Therapy.

Mayo Clinic的研究人员已经确认,与仅考虑食物的营养构成相比,一种基于个体的遗传、微生物菌群和生活方式的个体化饮食对于控制血液葡萄糖(血糖)水平更加有效。该研究结果发表在2月8日出版的《美国医学会杂志》网络开放版上,研究表明,对于类似的食物,每个人的身体反应有所不同,这是因为每个人都有自己独特的肠道微生物群——一个由上万亿细菌在消化道内形成的复杂群落。
Numares and Mayo Clinic Laboratories have announced a collaboration to develop clinical diagnostic tests that will measure clusters of risk factors as opposed to individual biomarkers. The unique testing will use nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) technology, focusing on cardiovascular disease, kidney disease and liver cancer — among a few other specific diseases.
Induced pluripotent stem cells, the workhorse of many regenerative medicine projects, start out as differentiated cells that are reprogrammed to pluripotent stem cells by exposure to a complex set of genetic cocktails.
University of Minnesota medical researchers and engineers have developed a way to study cancer cells which could lead to new and improved treatment. They have developed a new way to study these cells in a 3D in vitro model (i.e. in a culture dish rather than in a human or animal).
Pesquisadores da Mayo Clinic confirmaram que uma dieta individualizada com base na genética, microbioma e estilo de vida de uma pessoa é mais eficaz no controle dos níveis de glicose (açúcar) no sangue do que uma dieta que considera somente a composição nutricional do alimento.
