The lack of culturally safe health screening for people who are transgender and gender diverse (TGD) is putting them at greater risk of cancer going undetected, but nurse practitioners could be trained to help close the gap.
Certain drugs used to treat urinary symptoms due to an enlarged prostate may be associated with a reduced risk of dementia with Lewy bodies, according to a study published in the June 19, 2024, online issue of Neurology®, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.
Researchers at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and College of Medicine have found that the practical and brief SAGE test was easily incorporated into primary care providers’ visits. The free Self-Administered Gerocognitive Exam (SAGE) developed by Ohio State researchers is designed to detect early signs of cognitive, memory or thinking impairments. It evaluates a person’s thinking abilities and helps physicians to know how well their brain is working.
Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have found that safety interventions – such as walkers, grab bars, ramps and other home modifications – allow many stroke survivors to keep living independently in their homes and may reduce their risk of death.
A CHLA study finds that older and younger kids with cerebral palsy have comparable gait improvements after single event multilevel surgery.
The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center’s Research Highlights showcases the latest breakthroughs in cancer care, research and prevention. These advances are made possible through seamless collaboration between MD Anderson’s world-leading clinicians and scientists, bringing discoveries from the lab to the clinic and back.
A new study showcases a successful quality improvement program that significantly enhances surgical safety. By implementing a standardized handoff protocol, known as SHRIMPS, the study demonstrates how effective communication in operating rooms (OR) can reduce the risk of errors and improve patient care.
A team of researchers working with a weather model have uncovered new details of water availability in Arizona’s uplands and where that water comes from. The work may help in future planning of the Phoenix metropolitan area, as well as provide guides for coming precipitation seasons.
A multi-institutional study led by University of Illinois and Agroecosystem Sustainability Center scientists concluded that the variability pattern of soil moisture remained consistent across the growing and non-growing seasons in farm fields across the Midwest.
By leveraging geodetic GNSS receivers and a pre-trained decision tree algorithm, the research offers a cost-effective and efficient method to monitor and mitigate the adverse effects of scintillation on navigation accuracy.
