Lurie Children’s surpassed a hospital record in its recent fiscal year by performing a record 140 pediatric transplants, including, heart, kidney, liver and stem cell.
Lurie Children’s orthopedic surgeon-scientist is working to change this. His latest research aims to understand why these delays happen and to develop solutions to get young athletes the care t...
Researchers at the University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center have discovered a key reason why some cancers do not respond to immunotherapy: A metabolite transporter within the tumor microenvironment that blocks a key type of tumor cell death integral to immune response.
The American Joint Replacement Registry (AJRR) surpassed 4 million hip and knee arthroplasty procedures in its database in March, a milestone announced in the 11th edition of its Annual Report released today. Published by the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) Registry Program, the 2024 report analyzes more than 3.7 million of those procedures and reflects data submitted between 2012-2023 from 1,447 institutions across all 50 states and the District of Columbia. It marks an 18% growth in procedures from the previous year.
“Killer electrons” that travel at nearly light speed inside Earth's Van Allen belts — the zone that surrounds the planet and traps energetic charged particles — pose a major threat to equipment in space by causing malfunctions in electronics.
Researchers have taken direct images of the Wigner molecular crystal, a new quantum phase of an electron solid. The breakthrough may advance future technologies for quantum simulations.
One of the top worries about telehealth is that it will drive up the use of tests and scans that patients don’t need, wasting money and resources. In fact, a new study shows, low-value care didn’t rise faster at primary care practices that used telehealth the most.
In a study published November 7 in the journal Cell Reports Medicine, researchers from Tufts University School of Medicine and Vanderbilt University School of Medicine show that people with schizophrenia generate distinct neural patterns when asked to make decisions based on conflicting information. The work offers one of the first biological tests to assess whether someone is prone to inflexible thinking and, by monitoring changes in these patterns, a new way to measure whether treatments are working.
A Stony Brook University-led research team has created a computerized method in which photos of penguins in Antarctica taken by tourists can be analyzed by the technique to decipher the location of the photo, thereby indicating the location of penguins over time and providing a clue as to what is causing changes in their abundance and distribution.
A less wasteful way to train large language models, such as the GPT series, finishes in the same amount of time for up to 30% less energy, according to a new study from the University of Michigan.
