A first-of-its-kind survey found that a significant number of young men have used erectile dysfunction medications (EDM) such as Viagra(TM) -- many in conjunction with other recreational drugs, and most without consulting their physician.
Study suggests that overweight or obesity in pregnancy is linked to lower vitamin D levels in both the mother and the newborn
Challenging the longstanding practice of keeping all children with head injuries in the hospital overnight, new research from Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital suggests that patients with simple skull fractures can be sent home safely if they have no evidence of brain injury and no neurological symptoms.
Some pediatric surgeons perform so few rare and complex procedures once they finish their surgical training that they may have a hard time maintaining operative skills in the long run, according to a new study led by researchers at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago. The study, to be published March 30 in JAMA Surgery, did look at how well patients fared based on the number of procedures their surgeons had performed. However, the authors say, the findings are alarming because there is strong evidence linking the frequency and number of surgeries performed to a surgeon’s skill level and patient outcomes.
Learning difficulties and behavioral problems during childhood can lead to suboptimal social and educational outcomes among young adults with childhood epilepsy even when their seizures are well under control and their disease in remission, according to findings from a study led by researchers at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago.
Working with human breast cancer cells, a team of scientists from Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago have successfully turned off a misbehaving protein that fuels the growth of a particularly aggressive, drug-resistant form of the disease known as triple-negative breast cancer. In a set of lab experiments, the team managed to neutralize the protein, called Nodal, a growth factor already known for its role in early embryonic development.
Research from Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago conducted in mice shows the drug hydrocortisone — a steroid commonly used to treat a variety of inflammatory and allergic conditions — can also prevent lung damage that often develops in premature babies treated with oxygen.

A handheld, lightweight scanner — similar to the barcode reader at a store checkout — that uses white light instead of dangerous ionizing radiation can safely and reliably capture the upper body anatomy of children with chest deformities, according to pediatric surgeons from Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago.
Elimination of the food that triggers atopic dermatitis, or eczema, is associated with increased risk of developing immediate reactions to that food, according to the results of a large-scale study recently published in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology. Immediate reactions to the culprit food range from hives to life-threatening anaphylaxis.
