In a study published today in The Lancet Child & Adolescent Health, researchers in the Pediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network (PECARN) created a highly accurate cervical spine injury prediction rule. When applied, the rule decreases the use of CT by more than 50% without missing clinically significant injuries or increasing normal X-ray use.
Massachusetts patients now have increased access to safe, affordable anesthesia care. The state is the latest to opt out from federal regulations that require physician supervision of Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs), also known as nurse anesthesiologists or nurse anesthetists.
In their pursuit to discover the mechanism behind how RVCL does its damage, researchers found some clues to the DNA damage theory of aging
Researchers at Sanford Burnham Prebys, with collaborators, illuminate how the fibrotic tumor microenvironment creates an inhospitable milieu for anti-tumor immunity, not just by creating a physical barrier but through metabolic changes that suppress the anti-tumor function of responding immune cells.
Study finds that mesalamine, a common anti-inflammatory drug, can fight the fungus Candida albicans in the gut, potentially preventing the risk of invasive candidiasis in patients with blood cancers.

A team of Ochsner Health cardiologists recently published an article in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) Cardiology comparing two treatment strategies for patients with atrial fibrillation and obesity.
Deep brain stimulation procedures use electrical pulses to disrupt tiny portions of the brain and halt epileptic seizures or disease-related tremor. The therapy is invaluable, but the basic technology has not advanced in decades.
Wistar scientists have built upon BTE technology to develop new and improved recombinant and synthetic DNA versions of therapeutic antibodies that target CA9, called Persistent Multivalent T Cell Engager (CA9-PMTE), that shows promise in pre-clinical models as a potent, long-lasting treatment against ccRCC.
RadiologyInfo.org, a leading source of medical imaging information for the general public, has introduced a new series of articles and videos to help patients understand their radiology exam reports.
According to preliminary data from a multi-institution Phase III trial led by researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, intensity modulated proton therapy (IMPT) achieved similar clinical outcomes and offered significant patient benefits when compared to traditional intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) as part of chemoradiation treatment for patients with oropharyngeal (head and neck) cancer.
Thousands of American teens and their families are helping scientists learn more about the growth and development of the brain and its impacts on behavior, mental health and much more, through a national study called ABCD that also includes thousands of other young people nationwide.
The Select Medical Institute of Physical Therapy and Movement at Harrisburg University will build pathways to expand the physical therapy workforce while providing career advancement opportunities for students and continuing education for professionals.
