Over the last two decades, strides in cancer prevention, earlier detection, and novel treatments have reduced overall cancer mortality; however, cancer health disparities (CHD) persist among demographically diverse and intersecting populations.
The Surgical Infection Society (SIS), the premier organization dedicated to promoting surgical infection control and science, is proud to announce the launch of its Annual Meeting 2024. The event will take place from Wednesday, June 5, through Friday, June 7, in Miami, Florida.
Inside of Science Hall at Canisius University sits the Institute of Autism Research, also known as the IAR. The institute's work is dedicated to understanding autism and helping individuals and families affected by autism.
Studies from multiple UChicago experts show that while GLP-1RA drugs are extremely effective for weight loss and Type 2 diabetes treatment, there's no one-size-fits-all solution and physicians and patients have to consider issues like cost and side effects.
Healthcare teams and researchers have documented an increase in mental health issues since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. UChicago experts explore these trends and discuss how biological and societal factors alike can contribute.
Researchers used a machine learning model to predict personalized oxygenation targets. Data analysis revealed that mortality rates were lower for patients who received the oxygen level predicted to be most beneficial for them.
In recognition of her work breaking down language barriers around the world by creating Spanish-language educational content about lung cancer for patients and caregivers, Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center's Dr. Estelamari Rodriguez has been honored as GRACE Patient Educator of the Year.
Patients with Cushing’s syndrome who are recovering from surgery and wear a headband that tracks brain activity while they meditate may have less pain and better physical functioning compared with patients not using the device, suggests a study being presented Monday at ENDO 2024, the Endocrine Society’s annual meeting in Boston, Mass.
The type of weight loss surgery women undergo before becoming pregnant may affect how much weight their children gain in the first three years of life, suggests a study being presented Monday at ENDO 2024, the Endocrine Society’s annual meeting in Boston, Mass.
Some women who experience menopause early—before age 40—have an increased risk for developing breast and ovarian cancer, according to research being presented Monday at ENDO 2024, the Endocrine Society’s annual meeting in Boston, Mass.
Exposure to some endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) that harm the thyroid gland has increased over the past 20 years among U.S. women of childbearing age and pregnant women, especially among those with lower social and economic status, a new study finds. The results will be presented Monday at ENDO 2024, the Endocrine Society’s annual meeting in Boston, Mass.
LA JOLLA, CA—Scientists at La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI) have developed a new computational method for linking molecular marks on our DNA to gene activity. Their work may help researchers connect genes to the molecular “switches” that turn them on or off. This research, published in Genome Biology, is an important step toward harnessing machine learning approaches to better understand links between gene expression and disease development.
Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis have paired cutting edge statistical data science with machine learning to yield a better pathway to recovery for spine surgery patients.
For survivors of strokes, which afflict nearly 800,000 Americans each year, regaining fine motor skills like writing and using utensils is critical for recovering independence and quality of life. But getting intensive, frequent rehabilitation therapy can be challenging and expensive.
BMI OrganBank™ is developing novel organ preservation systems with potential to significantly reduce the waitlist for lifesaving organ transplants. Data generated by Duke University research partners using their OrganBank Transport device demonstrated successful 24-hour preservation of DCD kidneys that are often discarded today because of concerns about organ viability.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has long sparked controversy with its proposals to regulate laboratory developed tests (LDTs) as medical devices.
