A revised approach to how emergency services respond to patients in motor vehicle collisions (MVCs) could help to save lives, according to new research. In 2021 a total of 127,967 casualties and 1,560 deaths were caused by MVCs in England. Of these, more than 7,000 patients needed to be assisted to leave their vehicle, in […]

Cleveland Clinic researchers have uncovered genomic characteristics of breast cancers associated with PTEN hamartoma tumor syndrome (PHTS) that differentiate them from sporadic breast cancers. The findings, published in the American Journal of Human Genetics, have important implications for the personalized management of PHTS-related breast cancers. While most cancers are sporadic, meaning they arise due to […]

British health authorities said Friday the monkeypox outbreak across the country may be peaking and that the epidemic’s growth rate has slowed. The U.K.’s Health Security Agency said in a statement there were “early signs that the outbreak is plateauing,” with 2,859 cases detected since May. No deaths have been reported. Last month, authorities estimated […]

In a recent study published in the bioRxiv* preprint server, scientists conducted severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) sero-surveillance in wild rodents across Europe. Study: Serological surveillance for wild rodent infection with SARS-CoV-2 in Europe.

Cardiovascular diseases remain a leading cause of death around the world. A primary contributor to these afflictions is high blood pressure, or hypertension. While treatments exist for the condition, which affects tens of millions of Americans, these remedies are not without side effects, and some variants of the disorder are treatment-resistant. The need for more […]

A new study in which young and old mice were surgically joined such that they shared blood circulation for three months showed that the old mice did not significantly benefit in terms of lifespan. In contrast, the young mice that were exposed to blood from old animals had significantly decreased lifespan compared to mice that […]

Karla Garcia said her son’s social media addiction started in fourth grade, when he got his own computer for virtual learning and logged on to YouTube. Now, two years later, the video-sharing site has replaced both schoolwork and the activities he used to love—like composing music or serenading his friends on the piano, she said. […]

Mount Sinai researchers have achieved an unprecedented understanding of the genetic and molecular machinery in human microglia—immune cells that reside in the brain—that could provide valuable insights into how they contribute to the development and progression of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The team’s findings were published in Nature Genetics. Working with fresh human brain tissue harvested […]

It is of great significance to estimate the urban cycle area and the sylvatic cycle area of ZIKV worldwide and predict its future trends based on observed records, historical “bioclimatic” variables, population data, and estimated vector distribution data. ZIKV has been expanded in 86 countries. There was much evidence that supported the linkage between sylvatic […]
