Cytoskeletal proteins work synergistically in the cell cortex to form intracellular networks

Investigators have discovered that two cytoskeletal proteins which were previously thought to function independently actually interact and form cytoskeletal networks within the cell surface, according to findings published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

New ML models show high accuracy in predicting complications after abdominal hernia repair

Machine learning (ML) models developed by surgeons at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston have shown a high level of accuracy in predicting which types of patients are most likely to have a hernia recurrence or other complications.

Researchers design RNA molecules for delivering therapies directly to beta cells

Investigators at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine have designed RNA molecules that home to human pancreatic beta cells, the cells that produce insulin and are destroyed in patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

Researchers demonstrate how a narrow-spectrum antibiotic selectively targets C. diff

Most antibiotics are double-edged swords. Besides killing the pathogen they are prescribed for, they also decimate beneficial bacteria and change the composition of the gut microbiome.

Researchers develop novel device to “cleanse” the blood of chemotherapeutic drugs

For patients with cancer, the tumor-killing power of chemotherapeutic drugs is a double-edged sword. While many cancer drugs kill tumor cells, they can also harm healthy cells as they travel throughout the bloodstream.

Cryo-EM imaging of a key immune protein reveals previously unrecognized binding site

Imaging at near-atomic resolution of a key immune protein commonly known as STING has revealed a previously unrecognized binding site that appears to be pivotal for launching immune attacks, UT Southwestern scientists report in a new study.

Study explores incidence of cardiac impairment a year after SARS-CoV-2 infection

Researchers used cardiac magnetic resonance to show the one-year trajectory of cardiac impairment in long coronavirus disease patients.

Researchers explore the link between immunoglobulins and blood profile in severe SARS-CoV-2 patients

A new study illustrated the association of immunoglobulins with blood characteristics in COVID-19 patients.

Sonographers take 64% more time to scan for endometriosis than routine pelvic ultrasounds, study shows

A new study released by the University of South Australia shows that it takes sonographers 64 per cent more time to scan comprehensively for endometriosis compared to routine pelvic ultrasounds – time that private providers are not subsidised for in Medicare ultrasound rebates.

Patients treated with edoxaban after TAVR do not find reduction in mini strokes, blood clots in the brain

Patients treated with the blood thinner edoxaban for six months after a heart valve replacement procedure experienced fewer symptomless blood clots inside the heart valve replacement than patients who were treated with two antiplatelet drugs, according to data presented at the American College of Cardiology's 71st Annual Scientific Session.

Tech glitches at one VA Site raise concerns about a nationwide rollout

Spokane, Washington, was supposed to be the center of the Department of Veterans Affairs’ tech reinvention, the first site in the agency's decade-long project to change its medical records software. But one morning in early March, the latest system malfunction made some clinicians snap.

Addition of alirocumab to high-intensity statin treatment reduces key measures of plaque vulnerability

Compared with a placebo, the addition of the injectable cholesterol-lowering drug alirocumab to high-intensity statin treatment in patients who have had a heart attack resulted in twofold greater reductions in three key measures of plaque vulnerability that signal risk for future cardiac events, according to research presented at the American College of Cardiology's 71st Annual Scientific Session.

Recommendations to prevent, manage interference in patients with implanted cardiac devices

Recommendations on the prevention and management of interference caused by medical procedures in patients with implanted electronic cardiac devices is published today in EP Europace, a journal of the European Society of Cardiology and presented at EHRA 2022, a scientific congress of the ESC.
