NIH study reveals racial and gender disparities in survival rates from bystander CPR

A National Institutes of Health (NIH)-supported study has found race- and sex-based differences in the increased chances of survival from people who received bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Average survival benefits for cardiac arrest, when the heart suddenly stops beating, could be three times as high for white adults compared to Black adults […]

UK initiative aims to transform MND research through health data collaboration

MND is a devastating disease affecting the motor neurones in the brain and spinal cord, leading to progressive muscle weakness and paralysis. Despite decades of research, several scientific challenges continue to impede the development of effective therapies for the thousands of people living with MND in the UK. The MND Research Data Catalyst is a […]

Blocking nidogen-2 enhances chemotherapy efficacy in pancreatic cancer

Researchers at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research have identified a potential new therapeutic target for pancreatic cancer, one of the most lethal cancer types with limited treatment options. Published in the journal Science Advances, the study shows that blocking the molecule nidogen-2 enhanced the effectiveness of chemotherapy and reduced the cancer’s spread in mouse […]

Eye-tracking technology offers earlier, more accurate autism diagnosis

Nearly 3% of all children in the United States are diagnosed with autism, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But a collaborative team of researchers at Indiana University and Purdue University are finding ways to make the right diagnosis sooner. The number of children needing autism evaluations exceeds the capacity of specialists trained […]

Researchers produce advanced multidimensional maps of gene regulation networks in the brain

A consortium of researchers has produced the largest and most advanced multidimensional maps of gene regulation networks in the brains of people with and without mental disorders. These maps detail the many regulatory elements that coordinate the brain’s biological pathways and cellular functions. The research, supported the National Institutes of Health (NIH), used postmortem brain […]

AI program can help identify signs of childbirth-related PTSD

Researchers have adapted an artificial intelligence (AI) program to identify signs of childbirth-related post-traumatic stress disorder (CB-PTSD) by evaluating short narrative statements of patients who have given birth. The program successfully identified a large proportion of participants likely to have the disorder, and with further refinements-;such as details from medical records and birth experience data […]

New classification of tuberculosis aims to improve focus on the early stages of disease

A new way to classify tuberculosis (TB) that aims to improve focus on the early stages of the disease has been presented by an international team involving researchers at UCL. The new framework, published in The Lancet Respiratory Medicine, seeks to replace the approach of the last half century of defining TB as either active […]

Prioritizing biologically motivated approaches in Mendelian randomization studies

Mendelian randomization, a powerful tool in medical research, helps us understand whether certain factors truly cause disease. This technique uses genetic variations as “natural experiments” to reveal cause-and-effect relationships. However, choosing the proper genetic variations is crucial for accurate results. Think of a train network where the genetic variation is the starting point, the exposure […]

Study shows how CBT rewires the anxious child’s brain

Researchers at the National Institutes of Health have found overactivation in many brain regions, including the frontal and parietal lobes and the amygdala, in unmedicated children with anxiety disorders. They also showed that treatment with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) led to improvements in clinical symptoms and brain functioning. The findings illuminate the brain mechanisms underlying […]
