Researchers at University of Tsukuba have elucidated the molecular pathogenesis of multicentric carpotarsal osteolysis (MCTO), a rare hereditary disorder that frequently results in renal failure. Using a mouse model, they demonstrated that MCTO is caused […]
Clinicians use electroencephalography (EEG) to assess brain activity in epilepsy and sleep pathologies, and this powerful tool has shown promise for other conditions. Emerging evidence suggests that brain development, age, and the time of day […]
A clinical study shows that a symptom-based treatment for babies with neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome (NOWS)—a highly prevalent condition wherein opioid exposure during pregnancy leads to withdrawal after birth—could speed up their recovery. To treat […]
Delaying hepatitis B vaccination after birth increases infections among newborns and decreases their survival rates and quality of life, according to a new Cornell University study. The longer the delay, the study found, the higher […]
Cedars-Sinai Health Sciences University investigators have developed and successfully tested a new treatment for pregnant women with severe early preeclampsia, a leading cause of premature birth as well as maternal and fetal death. The early-stage […]
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection acquired at birth or during early infancy can lead to lifelong health complications, including chronic liver disease. Despite longstanding recommendations for prenatal screening, an estimated 12% to 16% of pregnant […]
A food coloring widely used in the U.S. and worldwide has been found to alter the balance of bacteria living in the gut and may cause low levels of inflammation. Researchers will present these findings […]
In a new study, researchers found that older adults with obesity had significantly decreased measures of lung function compared to those without obesity, and the results were consistent among men and women. These results could […]
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) affects millions of children, yet many go years without a diagnosis, missing the chance for early support that can change long-term outcomes even when early signs are present. In a new study, […]
Studying cognition by averaging data from many people’s brain scans hides how individuals use their brains, new Stanford Medicine research has shown. In particular, children who struggle with goal-oriented tasks show distinct patterns of brain […]
