Medical Xpress / Eye-surgery laser could be adapted for other organs, say scientists
Scientists in Scotland have shown that a type of laser already similar to the one currently used in routine eye surgery could one day help surgeons remove unwanted tissues, such as tumors, with unprecedented accuracy.
Medical Xpress / Project adds more than 1,000 new African genomes to global science
A newly published paper in Nature describes the complex process of launching a nine-country collaboration in Africa to significantly expand scientists' understanding of human genetic diversity. This can reveal new insights ...
Medical Xpress / New therapy combination yields high remission rates in early-stage Hodgkin lymphoma
Patients with early-stage Hodgkin lymphoma had impressive response rates when treated with a novel combination of therapies—brentuximab vedotin and nivolumab combined with chemotherapy drugs doxorubicin and dacarbazine—according ...
Medical Xpress / Inflammation gives mutated blood stem cells an edge in cancer development
A Northwestern Medicine-led study published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation has uncovered why older individuals with specific genetic mutations face a heightened risk of developing serious blood cancers.
Medical Xpress / ADHD medication use rises sharply across Europe, driven by growth among adults
The use of medications for Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) has increased substantially across Europe over the past decade, with the steepest rises seen among adults—particularly women—according to a large ...
Medical Xpress / Alachua County's bystander CPR rates save lives, study finds
Two minutes into cardiac arrest—when the heart stops pumping and blood ceases to flow to the body's organs—brain cells begin to die. It only takes another five minutes for irreversible neurological damage to occur.
Medical Xpress / Study links gambling addiction to altered brain networks for self-control and reward
A new doctoral dissertation shows that gambling disorder is linked to brain networks involved in self-control and brain reward functions. By combining several brain imaging methods, the research provides new biological insight ...
Medical Xpress / Different types of brain tumors: What they are, how they present and what to expect
Brain tumors are abnormal growths of cells in or around the brain. They can be primary (originating in the brain) or secondary (metastatic, spreading to the brain from cancer elsewhere).
