“The independent research groups, led by Prof. Scott W. Lowe and Christina Curtis,respectively, have uncovered a similar definitive pathway in the progression of gastric cancer (GC) initiated with loss of the TP53 gene, representing a milstone in understanding the early stages of this deadly disease”. Dr. Zhaocai Zhou, head of a GC laboratory from Fudan University, stated.
For many children with asthma, May is a peak season — their condition is at its worst, often due to seasonal allergies, pollen or poor air quality that come with this time of year.
A recent American Academy of Dermatology survey of more than 1,000 U.S. adults revealed that outdoor workers — like those who work in construction, landscaping, emergency medical services, and postal delivery — are far more likely to get sunburned and tanned, putting themselves at increased risk for skin cancer, compared to the average American.
Rural Americans are less likely to initiate care for substance use disorders and to receive ongoing care compared with those who live in urban areas. When they do access care, people who live in less populated areas are more likely to have to go outside their provider network to receive treatment, which comes with higher out-of-pocket costs.
Researchers at the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy and the UNC School of Medicine have engineered a probiotic yeast that enhances probiotic absorption in the gut and has the ability to suppress and even reverse inflammation in animals.
In a whirling geopolitical landscape of new nuclear weapons, hypersonic weapons, drones and satellites, the U.S. is hustling to test new kinds of radars aimed at detecting evolving threats. Many of these tests take place in a simulated research environment created at Sandia National Laboratories.
The Hunt School of Nursing commencement ceremony celebrated the achievements of 76 graduates who are completing the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree now or in the Summer. Seventy-three graduates are from the Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing program and three are from the RN to BSN program.
Albert Einstein College of Medicine has appointed nationally recognized education leader Yoon Kang, M.D., as its inaugural vice dean for education, following a national search.
On World Asthma Day 2024 the message is clear: "Asthma Education Empowers." The Forum of International Respiratory Societies (FIRS), of which the American Thoracic Society is a founding member, stresses the crucial role of education in empowering people with asthma to manage their condition effectively and to know when to seek medical assistance.
Through BGSU Online, Herschend employees will be able to enroll in the one-of-a-kind Resort and Attraction Management program and can continue working while completing their degree
In women of childbearing age, cannabis use may increase the risk of adverse reproductive and perinatal health outcomes. A study in a sample of 20,234 women ages 18 to 49 by disability status showed that about 60% of women with disabilities who used cannabis in the past 12 months perceived no risk of harm from weekly cannabis use.
Research from a West Virginia University scholar of rural Appalachia shows how even the most marginalized communities can assert power and create change when they come together to form coalitions.
