Como os adultos com doença cardíaca congênita podem reduzir riscos? Estudo descobre que o monitoramento cardiológico ao longo da vida é essencial
Mayo Clinic

A insuficiência cardíaca é um problema de saúde potencialmente urgente para jovens adultos com doença cardíaca congênita (ACHD). Ela é frequentemente negligenciada e pouco tratada, apesar de as hospitalizações para esse problema continuarem aumentando. A pesquisa da Mayo Clinic revela que jovens adultos nos Estados Unidos que vivem com doença cardíaca congênita têm maior risco de morte ou complicações cardiovasculares após a hospitalização por insuficiência cardíaca. Entretanto, os dados do estudo publicados na revista médica Journal of the American Heart Association também descobriram que os pacientes que receberam cuidados cardiológicos recentes e antes da hospitalização por insuficiência cardíaca tinham menos probabilidade de morrer.

كيف يمكن للمصابين بمرض القلب الخلقي تقليل مخاطر المرض؟ الدراسة وجدت أن مراقبة صحة القلب طوال حياتهم له أهمية كبرى
Mayo Clinic

مدينة روتشستر، ولاية مينيسوتا – يشكّل فشل عضلة القلب مصدر قلق صحي ربما يكون مُلحًا بالنسبة للبالغين الشباب المصابين بمرض القلب الخلقي (ACHD) الذي يتم تجاهله وعدم التعامل معه بجدية في كثير من الأحيان، برغم استمرار تزايد عدد الحالات المحتجزة في المستشفيات بسبب هذا المرض. تبين الأبحاث الصادرة من مايو كلينك أن البالغين الشباب في الولايات المتحدة الذين يعيشون بمرض القلب الخلقي مُعرضون بشكل متزايد لخطر الوفاة أو لمضاعفات أمراض القلب والأوعية الدموية بعد احتجازهم في المستشفى للعلاج من فشل عضلة القلب. ومع ذلك، تبين بيانات الدراسة المنشورة في مجلة جمعية القلب الأمريكية أيضًا أن المرضى الذين كانوا يتلقون مؤخرًا رعاية طبية لأمراض القلب قبل احتجازهم في المستشفى لتلقي علاج فشل عضلة القلب كانوا أقل عُرضة للوفاة.

‘Junk DNA’ No More: Johns Hopkins Investigators Develop Method of Identifying Cancers from Repeat Elements of Genetic Code
Johns Hopkins Medicine

Repeats of DNA sequences, often referred to as “junk DNA” or “dark matter,” that are found in chromosomes and could contribute to cancer or other diseases have been challenging to identify and characterize. Now, investigators at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center have developed a novel approach that uses machine learning to identify these elements in cancerous tissue, as well as in cell-free DNA (cfDNA) — fragments that are shed from tumors and float in the bloodstream. This new method could provide a noninvasive means of detecting cancers or monitoring response to therapy. Machine learning is a type of artificial intelligence that uses data and computer algorithms to perform complex tasks and accelerate research.

Grounding zone discovery explains accelerated melting under Greenland’s glaciers
University of California, Irvine

Irvine, Calif., March 13, 2024 – Researchers at the University of California, Irvine and NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory have conducted the first large-scale observation and modeling study of northwest Greenland’s Petermann Glacier. Their findings reveal the intrusion of warm ocean water beneath the ice as the culprit in the accelerated melting it has experienced since the turn of the century, and their computer predictions indicate that potential sea level rise will be much worse than previously estimated.
