Quitline coaching over the phone helped almost half of young people who vape ditch the habit, potentially improving their health and decreasing the chances they’ll transition to cigarettes, according to a new Ohio State study.
A majority of U.S. adults hope to avoid political discussions during the holidays and, in some cases, family members they disagree with, according to a survey by the American Psychological Association.
Smokers with myelodysplastic syndromes or a precursor condition had elevated levels of genetic mutations linked to the disease. The study also found that heavier smokers accumulated more mutations, and long-term smokers were more likely to show disease progression.
Patients with multiple myeloma are living longer thanks to a host of new immunotherapies and targeted drugs. But there is still no cure for the disease. Physician-scientists at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center are working to change that, and will present research findings at the 2024 annual meeting of the American Society of Hematology (ASH).
Three clinical trials led by researchers from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center demonstrated significant positive results from novel triplet therapies in the treatment of relapsed or refractory and newly diagnosed leukemias. The results were presented at the 66th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting and Exposition. More information on all ASH Annual Meeting content from MD Anderson can be found at MDAnderson.org/ASH.
Where did Earth’s water come from? It’s a fundamental scientific question that has never been answered. In fact, NASA reports that we can only observe and understand 5% of the universe — with a whopping 95% remaining a complete mystery because of unobservable dark matter and dark energy.
About a third of patients with diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL), a fast-growing form of lymphoma, will see their disease advance or recur following treatment. Seeking a new treatment strategy that might boost the effectiveness of existing DLBCL therapies, a team from Roswell Park has been working to understand the underlying mechanisms of the targeted chemotherapy venetoclax. Their findings, to be presented during a talk today at the 66th annual meeting of the American Society of Hematology (ASH) in San Diego, California, provide strong preclinical evidence that adding venetoclax to standard treatment may improve outcomes in patients with treatment-resistant B-cell lymphomas.
As the school year winds up, thousands of Aussie kids are looking forward to the summer holidays. But hand-in hand with this freedom comes an abundance of screentime, unhealthy snacks, and a lack of routine, and it has the potential to affect children’s physical and mental health.
Community leaders and entrepreneurs are among the newest members of Cal State Fullerton’s Philanthropic Foundation Board of Governors, the nonprofit auxiliary organization established to build and strengthen CSUF’s relations with the community and encourage advocacy, investment in and support of the university.
A study sheds new light on how Toxoplasma gondii parasites make the proteins they need to enter a dormant stage that allows them to escape drug treatment.
Dave Grabaskas, Paul Romano, Ben Lindley and April Novak are recognized by American Nuclear Society on Nuclear News’ highly selective list of rising stars in nuclear research
Adult patients with newly diagnosed malignancy-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (mHLH) – a rare, aggressive hyperinflammatory condition – who were treated with the first-in-class monoclonal antibody, ELA026, experienced a 100% response rate and an improved survival rate at two months, according to researchers from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.
More than just a holiday gathering, this free, family-friendly event marked the culmination of a year-long appeal that raised $255,000 to provide 1,350 life-saving cancer screenings in our Borderplex community. Every dollar from event sponsorships will directly support cancer screenings and diagnostics, emphasizing the transformative impact of early detection and care.
The way hydrocarbon molecules interact with light can affect the production of nitrous acid in the atmosphere. In this study, researchers used an ultrafast electron camera to image the motions of hydrocarbon molecules at ultrafast, ultrasmall scales. They identified a proton transfer step followed by an out-of-plane twisting motion as key components of energy relaxation after molecules interact with light.
Sapna Chitlapilly Dass, Ph.D., assistant professor in microbial ecology and microbiome interactions, Department of Animal Science, is studying the ongoing threat of emerging pathogens that can necessitate prompt deployment of medical countermeasures for life-saving interventions.
Jian-ping Chen, Jefferson Lab Hall A and C Staff Scientist and SoLID Project Manager, and his team created a 3D-printed model of the Solenoidal Large Intensity Device (SoLID) project. Here’s why.
Almost a third of all new electronic data being generated is produced by health care systems. This immense quantity of data has the potential to transform our understanding of biology and drastically enhance health care. But it remains a largely untapped resource, its size and complexity vastly outstripping human intuition.
Researchers at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and the Children’s Oncology Group (COG) found that larotrectinib, an oral drug that stops cancer-cell growth, was highly effective in pediatric patients with newly diagnosed infantile fibrosarcoma (IFS) or other solid tumors that have a neurotrophic receptor tyrosine kinase (NTRK) gene fusion without a known acquired resistance mutation. The study, published today in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, is the first COG trial to test precision medicine in a front-line setting across all different types of solid tumors based on a genetic biomarker rather than histology. It is poised to redefine the approach to treatment for newly diagnosed fibrosarcoma and other solid tumors with the NTRK gene fusion, potentially reducing or eliminating the need for these patients to receive chemotherapy.
