Clinicians and other professionals trying to stop the opioid crisis in the United States need all the tools they can to accurately identify communities at risk of large increases in deaths from opioid use and prevent deaths. A study led by a team of computer scientists at Stony Brook University and published in npj Digital […]
Complex cognition and behavior, in animals and humans alike, hinges on information flowing across a network of deeply interconnected brain cells. For scientists, the scale of that network posed a major obstacle to better understanding the mechanics of cognition, because available imaging tools were historically incapable of tracing how neurons fire in sync from the […]
Researchers from Tel Aviv University compared treatment with a dedicated protocol of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) to the pharmacology (drugs) treatment available today for patients suffering from fibromyalgia as a result of a traumatic brain injury (TBI). The researchers found that the dedicated hyperbaric oxygen therapy is much more effective in reducing pain than the […]

In a recent study published in the journal PLoS Biology, researchers from the University of Xiamen, China, explored the role of the hypothalamic menin in driving aging and associated cognitive decay. Study: Hypothalamic Menin regulates systemic aging and cognitive decline. Image Credit: SciePro / Shutterstock Background Aging is characterized by the progressive deterioration of physiological functions, leading […]
In a recent study published in the journal Science Translational Medicine, researchers in France perform a longitudinal follow-up assessment of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spike (S) glycoprotein-specific immunological memory among unvaccinated and vaccinated coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) convalescents, as well as COVID-19-naïve vaccinees. Study: Prior SARS-CoV-2 infection enhances and reshapes spike protein–specific memory induced […]
The study covered in this summary was published on researchsquare.com as a preprint and has not yet been peer reviewed. Key Takeaway The recent findings revealed no statistically significant difference in 3-year disease-free survival (DFS) between women who underwent microwave ablation and women who underwent conventional breast-conserving surgery for T2 primary invasive breast cancers. Why […]
In July 2022, the New York City Sheriff’s Office executed a search warrant for a large fenced-in lot on Staten Island with trailers, a bus and an RV parked in the space. On the lot, they discovered groups of Huskies living in unhealthy and unsanitary conditions. The dogs were reported to be running around, apparently searching for […]
Fiber intake is associated with a lower risk of developing cognitive decline in those old people with the apolipoprotein E ApoE ε4 genotype, regarded as a genetic risk factor linked to the development of Alzheimer’s disease. This is stated in a study conducted by the Research Group on Biomarkers and Nutritional and Food Metabolomics of […]
Clinical trials are the backbone of evidence-based medicine. This is where new drugs and treatments are tested on humans for the first time. The results of such trials are therefore highly relevant. But unfortunately many clinical trial results from German universities are not published at all or are registered too late—and if they are published, […]
