UT Southwestern discovers a two-step screening for heart failure prevention in patients with diabetes

A two-step screening protocol that combines clinical risk assessment with biomarker testing can more effectively identify which patients with Type 2 diabetes need medication to prevent heart failure, according to a study led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers.

MGH study identifies key proteins linked to pregnancy hypertension disorders

Preeclampsia and other hypertensive disorders of pregnancy-;which are characterized by high blood pressure with or without organ dysfunction during the second half of pregnancy-;carry considerable short- and long-term risks for both the mother and child. Treatment options (other than expedited delivery) remain limited.

Mount Sinai study provides a mechanistic explanation for variations in individual responses to drugs

Mount Sinai researchers have shown for the first time that a person's beliefs related to drugs can influence their own brain activity and behavioral responses in a way comparable to the dose-dependent effects of pharmacology.

Existing beta blocker investigated as novel sickle cell therapy

A beta blocker typically used to treat heart problems, hemangioma, migraines and anxiety could be a new therapeutic for patients with sickle cell disease. Researchers led by Ankit A. Desai, MD, associate professor of medicine at the Krannert Cardiovascular Research Center (KCVRC) at Indiana University School of Medicine, have been awarded a $3 million grant by the U.S. Department of Defense to evaluate the efficacy of this drug.
