Cancer patients frequently experience metabolic dysfunction leading to severe weight loss correlating with a poor prognosis. Causes for this dysfunction include malnutrition and cachexia, a systemic inflammation affecting brain mechanisms regulating satiety and hunger.
Doctors and pharmacists treating people with blood thinners can reduce the rate of inappropriate dosing — as well as blood clots and strokes that can result from it — using an electronic patient management system, a study suggests. Direct oral anticoagulants can be incorrectly prescribed up to 20% of the time.
A new study reveals the surprisingly convergent evolution in the inner ear of mammals. An international research team led by Nicole Grunstra from the University of Vienna and Anne Le Maître from the Konrad Lorenz Institute (KLI) for Evolution and Cognition Research (Klosterneuburg) showed that a group of highly divergent mammals known as Afrotheria and distantly related, but ecologically very similar mammals independently evolved similar inner ear shapes. The study has just been published in the prestigious journal Nature Communications.
Machine learning algorithms significantly outperform human judgment in detecting lying during high-stakes strategic interactions, according to new research from the University of California San Diego’s Rady School of Management. The study can have major implications for the spread of misinformation, as machine learning could be used to bolster efforts to reduce fictitious content on major platforms like YouTube, Tik-Tok and Instagram.
Two labs at the University of Utah’s Department of Chemistry joined forces to improve imaging tools that may soon enable scientists to better observe signaling in functioning cells and other molecular-scale processes central to life.
الأشخاص الذين لديهم فرط في خلايا الدم البيضاء المستنسخة، أو الخلايا الليمفاوية، التي تعيق أجهزتهم المناعية - وهي حالة تُسمى كثرة الخلايا الليمفاوية وحيدة النسيلة - قد يكونوا أكثر عرضة للإصابة بالعديد من المضاعفات الصحية، ومنها الورم الميلانيني، وهو شكل من أشكال سرطان الجلد. نُشرت النتائج التي توصل إليها علماء مايو كلينك في ورقة بحثية جديدة في مجلة علم الأورام السريري.
As Utah’s Great Salt Lake shrinks, exposing more of its playa, concerns grow about the dust the dry lakebed emits. University of Utah scientists find sediments in the exposed lakebed show elevated 'oxidative potential,' indicating greater risk to human health.
Blueprint MedTech is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) technology incubator program that is part of the NIH Blueprint for Neuroscience Research and for the past two years has provided funding and expertise to fast-track the development of therapeutic and diagnostic devices for disorders that affect the nervous or neuromuscular systems.
Understanding and controlling heat flow is critical for many applications, especially for electronics. As these devices become smaller, the interfaces between materials often become the bottleneck to removing heat.
Babies born with a narrowed blood vessel now have a device specifically designed for them, thanks to research conducted in the Smidt Heart Institute and Guerin Children’s at Cedars-Sinai.
Pessoas com uma superabundância de glóbulos brancos clonados, ou linfócitos, que prejudicam o seu sistema imunológico — uma condição chamada linfocitose monoclonal de células B (LMB) — podem apresentar um risco elevado de desenvolver várias complicações de saúde, incluindo o melanoma, uma forma de câncer de pele.
Research by the University of Pittsburgh shows that state and federal appropriations allowing Pennsylvania to treat abandoned mine drainage works to both successfully and cost effectively clean up acidic water. But their research also shows funding is insufficient for long-term treatment for mine drainage and other abandoned mine hazards
Researchers at UC Davis and UCLA have created models for four sarcoma subtypes using stem cells. The findings may lead to new therapies.
A flexible screen inspired, in part, by squid can store and display encrypted images like a computer—using magnetic fields rather than electronics. The research is reported in Advanced Materials by University of Michigan engineers.
In thousands of simulations, STRIDE produced much more accurate travel times than the standard slope-only models. STRIDE also chose to use established roads and trails to avoid patches of forest or dense vegetation. In contrast, the slope-only model sent rescuers through dense vegetation, dangerous scree fields and forested areas.
On the morning of Wednesday, September 4, 2024, Hackensack Meridian Hackensack University Medical Center became the first hospital in the world to treat patients with Aquablation® therapy using the new HYDROS™ Robotic System.
Peter Boumgarden, director of Olin Business School’s Koch Family Center for Family Enterprise at Washington University in St. Louis, discusses Vice President Kamala Harris’ plan to expand the small business tax credit and other ways in which the government can support existing small businesses.
