Study uses pluripotent stem cell models to investigate stress response in PTSD patients

Stem cell-derived neurons from combat veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) react differently to a stress hormone than those from veterans without PTSD, a finding that could provide insights into how genetics can make someone more susceptible to developing PTSD following trauma exposure.

ACR TI-RADS, deep learning algorithm offer alternative strategies for evaluating thyroid nodules

According to an accepted manuscript published in ARRS' American Journal of Roentgenology (AJR), ACR TI-RADS and a deep learning algorithm trained on adult populations offer alternative strategies for evaluating thyroid nodules in children and younger adults, including guiding decisions to perform fine-needle aspiration.

Researchers explore how stress may increase appetite in obese and lean adults

In a series of experiments using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to measure brain activity across networks in the brain, Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers looked at how stress might increase appetite in obese and lean adults.

Physical exercise improves cardiorespiratory fitness, alleviates adverse effects of cancer treatment

During chemotherapy, physical exercise intervention is safe, improves long-term cardiorespiratory fitness, and alleviates some of the adverse effects of cancer treatment, according to a study published in JACC: CardioOncology.

Study: Health insurance companies may be overpaying for common radiology services

Health insurance companies may be overpaying for common radiology services, according to a study published in Radiology, a journal of the Radiological Society of North America.

High immune protein levels predict both heart failure and death

For years, cardiologists have zeroed in on a hormone called BNP as a gold standard to determine if patients with heart failure are at risk of severe illness or death. It's released by the heart in response to when the cardiac tissue stretches due to pressure.

Deep learning software helps to identify miniscule bacteria in microscopy images

Omnipose, a deep learning software, is helping to solve the challenge of identifying varied and miniscule bacteria in microscopy images.

BU researcher awarded $4.6 million U2C grant to develop innovative lung cancer biomarkers

Lung cancer screening by chest computed tomography (CT) can detect lung cancer earlier and make the disease less deadly; but even among nodules that are at intermediate risk, only a small minority are cancerous.

Multiple ischemic strokes and pulmonary embolism found in COVID-19 patient

In a new study, researchers described a case of a patient with acute respiratory failure and ischemic stroke.

Investigating plasma signatures of platelet-derived proteins in acute pulmonary embolism

In a new study, researchers determined plasma signatures of proteins related to or derived from platelets in acute isolated pulmonary embolism (iPE) and deep vein thrombosis-associated PE (DVT-PE), compared to isolated DVT (iDVT).

More frequent chest imaging may benefit certain colorectal cancer patients

Colorectal cancer patients with certain clinical characteristics may benefit from more frequent chest imaging to help identify and target cancer that has spread to the lungs, according to new research presented at the Scientific Forum of the American College of Surgeons (ACS) Clinical Congress 2022.

Surgical patients who use telemedicine more likely to show up for clinic visits

Surgical patients who use telehealth services are much more likely to show up for their initial clinic visit or follow-up appointment during the post-surgery period than those who rely on in-person visits only.

A rare case of Hashimoto encephalopathy after COVID vaccination

In a recent ‘Letter to the Editor’ published in the English edition of the journal Neurologandiacute, researchers reported the rare occurrence of Hashimoto encephalopathy in a recipient of the (COVID-19) vaccine Spikevax. Spikevax, research name mRNA-1273, is a COVID-19 vaccine based on the messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) technology.

Multi-center analysis shines light on invasive lobular carcinoma

A multi-center analysis of patients with invasive lobular carcinoma, or ILC -; the second most common histological subtype of invasive breast cancer in the U.S. -; showed that, despite its prevalence, ILC is detected later and has worse outcomes than the predominant subtype of invasive breast cancer, known as invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC), or no special type.

Exploring the use of chest CT-based imaging biomarkers for early-stage COVID-19 screening

In a new study, researchers demonstrated that vasculature-like signals (N) in chest computed tomography (CT) scans could serve as robust imaging biomarkers (IBs) of early-stage COVID-19 screening.
