A new study on heart disease risk factors found that green tea extract consumed for four weeks could reduce blood sugar and improve gut health, by reducing inflammation and decreasing the “leaky stomach.” Researchers say this is the first research to assess whether green tea’s antiinflammatory benefits may reduce the health risks associated with metabolic […]
Scientists from the National Institutes of Health have discovered that certain viruses can grow inside mice’s glands. One of these viruses is known to cause severe diarrheal diseases and spread through their saliva. Scientists from the National Institutes of Health discovered a new method of transmitting these viruses, which affect billions of people around the world […]
The Townsend Lab has developed a new open-source program called cancereffectsizeR that greatly enhances the ability of clinical analysts and data scientists to pinpoint specific mutations in genetic code that cause cancer. The software, created in the R platform (which is widely available), calculates the effect size of single-nucleotide variations in cancer. It also quantifies […]
The first U.S. implantation of the Reverse Hip Replacement system for Total Hip Arthroplasty has been completed Hip Innovation Technology, LLC, a medical device manufacturer that develops innovative orthopaedic devices to improve the quality of patient care and the quality of their lives, has announced the first U.S. implantation under FDA-approved Investigational Device Exemptions (IDE) […]
On January 06, 2023, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Leqembi (lecanemab-irmb) via the Accelerated Approval pathway for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. Leqembi is the second of a new category of medications approved for Alzheimer’s disease that target the fundamental pathophysiology of the disease. These medications represent an important advancement in the ongoing […]
A new NIH study sheds light on the gut’s role in colonizing staph. In a Phase 2 clinical study, a promising method to control Staphylococcus Aureus bacteria colonization was found to be safe and highly efficient. The Lancet Microbe reported that the new study found that Bacillus subtilis, a probiotic, significantly reduced S. The probiotic Bacillus subtilis reduced S. […]
Many dental clinics were forced to temporarily close or limit their capacity during the COVID-19 epidemic due to an increase in risk associated with aerosol treatments. Dentistry was deemed a high-risk profession for SARS-CoV-2 transmission because dental procedures required clinicians to work in close proximity with their patients’ mouths and nostrils. The new paper, published […]
Lipogems announced that the first patient would be enrolled into the ARISE U.S. FDA IDE Study by January 13, 2023. The study compares MicroFat injections with steroid ones for treating Knee Osteoarthritis. It’s a great time! “We screened this patient on December 30, 2022, and I’m proud to have enrolled the first patient,” stated Dr. YogeshMittal. He […]
NIH experts provide perspective on next-generation methods. It has been extremely difficult to create vaccines that offer long-lasting protection from influenza, coronaviruses and respiratory syncytial viruses (RSV). In a review article published in cell host & microbe by researchers at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, part of the NIH explores the challenges and outlines approaches […]
Imagine being able to slip in and out consciousness hundreds of time per day. You would be awake but not aware during these lapses. These highly disruptive episodes in children with absence seizures are called absence seizures. During brief staring spells children temporarily lose consciousness. EEG recordings can capture abnormal rhythms, but the neuronal causes of absence […]
