Scientists have worked extensively hard to contain the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic caused by the rapid transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). They developed diagnostic kits for rapid detection of the virus and developed many pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical means to reduce transmission of the virus as well as the mortality rate. Study: From

Patients with Tourette syndrome (TS) are more likely to be assaulted or to perpetrate a crime, new research shows. Results of a large registry study show that compared to the general population, patients with TS were twice as likely to be assaulted and three times more likely to commit a crime.

An interdisciplinary team of researchers from the University of Missouri, Children’s Mercy Kansas City and Texas Children’s Hospital has used a new data-driven approach to learn more about persons with Type 1 diabetes, who account for about 5-10% of all diabetes diagnoses. The team gathered its information through health informatics and applied artificial intelligence (AI)
Children who experienced low blood sugar as newborns did not have different academic performance results 10 years later compared with those who did not have hypoglycemia, new results from the CHYLD study suggest, conflicting with previous findings on neonatal hypoglycemia and academic achievement. In this most recent report of the study, in the 480 children
Public health experts aren’t quite clear on what the future holds for Covid-19 vaccines — but some say it’s looking more and more like these shots could be needed on a yearly basis, similar to how flu shots are recommended each fall. “In order to keep it under control, we likely will need some form
Third-party vendor physicians appear to be more much more likely than their system-employed counterparts to prescribe antibiotics during acute care telehealth visits for acute respiratory infection (ARI), according to a recent study in the Journal of Telemedicine and Telecare. As health systems expand their direct-to-consumer (DTC) virtual care, the quality of that care seems to
People who got infected with COVID-19 have a greater risk of developing type 2 diabetes than those who have not contracted the novel coronavirus, researchers said in a new study. What Is Type 2 Diabetes? This is the type of disease that occurs when there is an impairment in how the body regulates and uses
Genetic testing of saliva samples identifies the SARS-CoV-2 virus more quickly than testing of nasal swabs. The research is published March 21 in Microbiology Spectrum, a journal of the American Society for Microbiology. “That is important because people can spread COVID-19 before they know that they have it,” said coauthor Donald K. Milton, M.D., DrPH,
“The story of dying in the 21st century is a story of paradox.” This is the opening line of a report recently published in The Lancet, in which the Lancet Commission experts tackle what is, for many, a very sensitive topic: the end of life.

Ordering? Authorizing? Supervising? Interpreting? These are the headers that are attached to orders in our electronic medical record, which have historically let you know who ordered a test, who approved its being ordered, who was the supervising physician for the case — in the case of trainee cases — and, in the case of radiology
WASHINGTON – Research on standardized microbiome-based therapies designed to prevent the recurrence of Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) is moving “with a lot of momentum,” according to one expert, and modulation of the gut microbiome may even enhance responses to immunotherapy and/or abrogate toxicity, according to another. Several products for prevention of CDI recurrence are poised

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have unquestionably revolutionized the care of patients with malignant melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer, and other types of cancer. But about 40% of patients with cancer treated with ICIs will experience immune-related dermatologic adverse events that can range from mild rashes and hair and nail changes to uncommon but life-threatening complications,
It’s hard to see progress when you’re in the middle of it, but often, when you look back, you’ll see you’ve come a lot further than you think. When it comes to the evolution of mental health support, attitudes, and stigma, there’s still a long way to go, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t celebrate

PHOENIX — Selinexor (Xpovio) improved outcomes when used as maintenance therapy for patients with advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer who responded to front-line chemotherapy, a researcher reported. In the placebo-controlled, phase III ENGOT-EN5/GOG-3055/SIENDO study, patients in the audited intention-to-treat population who received selinexor experienced a 30% reduction in the risk of disease progression or death
