Medical Xpress / Hip replacement beats exercise-only care for moderate-to-severe hip arthritis in yearlong trial
Total hip arthroplasty leads to the best outcomes in the treatment of moderate-to-severe hip osteoarthritis, according to a new study published in The Bone & Joint Journal by the University of Eastern Finland and Kuopio University ...
Medical Xpress / Seeing keratoconus earlier with light polarization and AI
Keratoconus is a progressive eye disease that weakens and thins the cornea, the clear front surface of the eye. In its early, subclinical stage, the cornea can still appear normal on routine exams. Yet this is when accurate ...
Medical Xpress / Proteins found in cancer extracellular vesicles could guide drug development
Cancer cells release tiny biological packages called extracellular vesicles (EVs) that help tumors grow and spread. A team led by Cedars-Sinai Health Sciences University investigators has now connected certain proteins carried ...
Science X / Atlantic bluefin's comeback reveals an ocean-spanning mix that could upend how this iconic fish is managed
Atlantic bluefin tuna, the largest of all tuna species, declined precipitously toward commercial collapse in the early 2000s after decades of overfishing. The species has since rebounded across most of its range, a recovery ...
