Inside the high-stakes battle over vaccine injury compensation, autism, and public trust
Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has floated a seismic idea: adding autism to the list of conditions covered by the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.
Common food additives may trigger childhood asthma
Researchers utilize metabolomics to investigate the mechanisms underlying the association between food additives and childhood asthma.
Reproductive health agencies call for a major shift in diagnosis and treatment of postpartum hemorrhage
Through landmark new guidelines released today, leading reproductive health agencies are calling for a major shift in how postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is prevented, diagnosed and treated.
Study offers rare insight into experiences of children raised by cardiothoracic surgeons
A new study published in The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, a journal from The Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS), offers rare insight into what it’s like to grow up as the child of a cardiothoracic (CT) surgeon mother, revealing a powerful blend of challenges, inspiration, and resilience.
Study shows dementia patients exposed to pollution had longer telomeres
Researchers studying a Swedish aging cohort found no overall link between air pollution and telomere shortening, a key marker of biological aging. Intriguingly, dementia patients exposed to higher pollution showed longer telomeres, though results were statistically non-significant.
New research explores pre-diagnostic indicators of dementia
A new study from Finland shows that low labor market participation for non-retirement related reasons may be an early indicator of dementia already years before the first evident symptoms occur. The study also identified other social markers that may be indicative of dementia up to ten years before a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease, frontotemporal dementia […]
Pioneering 3D printing technique makes realistic surgical models
Researchers at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities have successfully 3D printed lifelike human tissue structures that can be used for medical training for surgeons and doctors.
Genetic modification enhances “living drugs” for blood cancers
CAR T cells are patient-derived, genetically engineered immune cells. They are “living drugs” and constitute a milestone in modern medicine. Equipping T cells, a key cell type of the immune system, with a “chimeric antigen receptor” (CAR) enables them to specifically recognize and attack cancer cells.
