These advances are made possible through seamless collaboration between MD Anderson’s world-leading clinicians and scientists, bringing discoveries from the lab to the clinic and back.
At a glance: Study in mice reveals rapid release of dopamine is not needed for initiating movement but is important for activities related to reward-seeking and motivation. The findings help explain why the widely used Parkinson’s drug levodopa improves movement-related symptoms but often fails to ameliorate some cognitive ones. The work may inform the development of new therapies that restore both slow and fast dopamine action to treat multiple symptoms.
Despite having no greater chance of developing problems after high risk cardiovascular surgery, women are more likely than men to die from postoperative complications, a University of Michigan-led study suggests. The quality of a hospital where the procedure was performed did not affect the disparity between sexes. Researchers say the "failure to rescue" is an issue for the entire United States health care system.
Batteries power everything from smartphones to electric vehicles, with their performance hinging on the critical interface between the electrode and electrolyte. Penn State and industry researchers have developed a method to observe this interface at a higher resolution, which could potentially reveal new ways to improve battery efficiency and lifespan.
The October issue of AJG highlights new clinical science and reviews on insurance barriers to care in IBD and CRC screening, a follow-up strategy for small HCC, and the role of bowel prep quality in colonoscopy findings and CRC deaths.
Ozarks Healthcare has announced a strategic partnership with Avo, (formerly known as AvoMD) to integrate Avo's advanced AI clinical decision support platform into its MEDITECH Electronic Health Record (EHR) system. Ozarks Healthcare, a comprehensive system including a 114-bed acute care hospital and various specialty clinics, will implement Avo's cutting-edge technology to enhance clinician workflows and improve patient care across its facilities.
Alaska’s Iliamna Lake harbor seals have been difficult to study because of their remoteness. They weren’t even identified as harbor seals until 2013. Now, a new genetic study has found significant differences, indicating that the Iliamna seals may represent a unique, endemic form of harbor seal. Findings suggest they may be evolutionarily, reproductively, and demographically distinct from other Pacific harbor seal populations sampled across the Pacific, including Japan, the Commander Islands, other parts of Alaska, and California.
The Hubble Space Telescope has provided a dramatic and colorful close-up look at R Aquarii, one of the most rambunctious stars in our galaxy, weaving a huge spiral pattern among the stars.
A new study by researchers at the UNC School of Medicine has identified a new biological function of 2’3’-cGAMP in the control of cell migration and cancer metastasis. This research also provides further insights into statin drugs that block cell migration.
