It all began with the question, “Has your butt been getting enough attention?” Though that may seem unorthodox, it led researchers to discovering a treatment that may help prevent anal cancer in people with HIV/AIDS. It’s still featured on their study’s website, with this further explanation: “You get your viral load checked, your T-cell count

In a recent study published in the Jama Network Open journal, researchers investigated the impact of in utero exposure to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on the neurodevelopment of infants. It is still unclear if a mother’s severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection affects her offspring’s neurodevelopment. However, the robust immune activation observed in
Treating precancerous anal lesions in people with HIV reduced their risk of developing anal cancer by more than half compared with active monitoring, according to results from the ANCHOR study. In the randomized phase III trial of more than 4,500 individuals with anal high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL), nine of those assigned to treatment with
All 21 members of the FDA’s Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee voted “yes” in response to the question: Based on the totality of scientific evidence available, do the benefits of the Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine when administered as a 2-dose series (25 micrograms each dose) outweigh its risks for use in infants and children
With heavy news cycles, it’s easy to see how staying informed can come at a cost to your mental health.

Nobody fully understands why people go off food in response to infection, early pregnancy and some chemotherapies for cancer. A flurry of research published in recent years has narrowed down the search for the culprit mechanism, and Cancer Research UK-funded researchers have just found another piece of the puzzle… Cachexia, sometimes described as a metabolic
Having shown that diet can influence gene expression, science is starting to find out more about how this happens. According to an article recently published in Food and Chemical Toxicology, a diet supplemented with or deficient in methionine, an essential amino acid abundant in eggs, meat and seafood, affects the expression of genes associated with
Cancers begin when changes in genes called mutations cause cells to start multiplying uncontrollably. Mutations can be the result of damage to DNA caused by external agents, like UV light or chemicals in cigarettes, or caused by ‘mistakes’ when DNA is replicated in cells before they divide. Cancer cells can have large numbers of these

The study covered in this summary was published on researchsquare.com as a preprint and has not yet been peer reviewed. Key Takeaways Whereas an elevated neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio has been previously associated with increased risk for mortality in patients with cancer, the current study suggests it is also a predictor of risk for cardiotoxicity from anthracycline

Determining how SARS-CoV-2, the virus causing COVID-19, moves from an early stage of infection, when patients are largely asymptomatic, into a later stage when people may experience life-threatening inflammation in the lungs, is a critical step in understanding how to target and treat the disease more efficiently. But that transition process is complex and cannot
In the mid-16th century, surgical education was that of a true apprenticeship. The student learned through direct observership and imitation of a skilled, elder surgeon. It wasn’t until the beginning of the 20th century that surgical education evolved into a formalized and structured program. William Osler, MD, CM, introduced the concepts of specialty clerkships and
