Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy is a type of treatment for melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, which blocks proteins on tumor or immune cells that prevent the immune system from killing cancer cells. While this treatment has shown some clinical success in patients with advanced stages of melanoma, its efficacy depends on reliable predictors of a patient's response […]

New research from the University of Plymouth has shown that affordable robot pets can potentially improve the well-being of care home residents and people with dementia. Led by the University’s Center for Health Technology, the study adds to the evidence that robot pets can assist in the challenges of supporting an aging population in which dementia is becoming more common. […]

Drug overdose deaths rose significantly during the COVID-19 pandemic, but more so among Blacks and American Indian and Alaska Native people. The results underscore the “urgency of expanding prevention, treatment, and harm reduction interventions tailored to specific populations, especially American Indian or Alaska Native and Black populations, given long-standing structural racism and inequities in accessing these services,” the researchers note. […]

While it’s common knowledge that COVID-19 brought a new set of financial challenges to the healthcare industry, a study of California hospitals digs deeper and reveals that safety-net hospitals were much harder hit than non-safety-net hospitals ― and that government assistance programs played a critical role in keeping these struggling hospitals afloat. From the first quarter of 2020 to the […]

For teenager Sadie Tessmer, taking showers can feel like ‘being doused in gasoline and set on fire’.  The 14-year-old has an ultra-rare water allergy that affects just one in every 230 million people.   Sadie was diagnosed with aquagenic urticaria, a condition which causes a person’s skin to develop red itchy hives after exposure to water, four months ago. The allergy […]

Scientists have long known that temperature changes impact the incidence of heart attacks. However, most of the research done so far has been in temperate climates, where temperatures range widely. Now, a team of researchers has investigated how the narrow temperature ranges of a tropical climate impact the incidence of a specific type of myocardial infarction (the medical term for […]

Non-invasive sensors laid on the skin’s surface to measure bioelectrical activity could offer a better alternative for patients suffering with poor gut health. Stefan Calder, a recent Ph.D. graduate at the Auckland Bioengineering Institute (ABI), at Waipapa Taumata Rau, University of Auckland is the lead and joint-first author for two papers published in prestigious scientific journals this month on gut […]

New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) researchers have unveiled a new lab technique they say represents a "paradigm shift" in how pharmaceutical laboratories test and produce new protein-based drugs, such as therapeutic monoclonal antibodies being developed to treat a variety of diseases, from cancers to infectious diseases. Researchers say their electrochemistry-based approach, described in the journal Analytical Chemistry, could allow […]
