Neuroscience research suggests that adult male rodents and humans perform better than females on spatial tasks. These are tasks that involve the ability to understand and remember the spatial relationships between different objects in space. Past findings also suggest that males have a lower threshold for the long-term potentiation (LTP) of synapses in the CA3

Thyroid cancer is the most common type of endocrine cancer in children. Because it is bilateral—affecting both sides (lobes) of the thyroid—in more than one third of pediatric patients, initial treatment typically involves a total thyroidectomy, the surgical removal of the entire thyroid gland. However, removal of only the affected lobe—a lobectomy—has come to be
A recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server observed that peptide-based vaccination against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) failed to protect mice against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), albeit eliciting T cell responses. Study: SARS-CoV-2 peptide vaccine elicits T-cell responses in mice but does not protect against infection or disease. Image Credit: neative/Shutterstock Background

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – In patients with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC), changes in Holter exam findings after diagnosis were associated with the risk of sustained ventricular arrhythmias within a year, researchers say. “These findings…provide a new tool to dynamically monitor the risk of life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias in patients with ARVC during follow-up,” Dr.

Intensive treatment for patients with Crohn's disease showed no safety differences compared to the current standard of care, according to a trial published in the journal Gastroenterology. The findings offer some additional flexibility for treating patients with Crohn's disease, according to Stephen Hanauer, MD, the Clifford Joseph Barborka Professor of Medicine in the Division of
By appraising a score of genomic and epidemiological data, as well as the activity on social media of early patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Wuhan, independent research groups have determined that the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was arguably initially present in the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market – spilling over to
Health information exchanges increase patient referrals among participating doctors, but that increase may be at the expense of physicians who aren’t part of the exchange, according to a new University at Buffalo School of Management study. Forthcoming in Management Science, the research analyzes the impact of health information exchanges on patient referral patterns. Referrals are
Only one currently authorized antibody treatment retains its activity against all Omicron subvariants, according to new research by scientists at Columbia University and the University of Hong Kong. The study also shows that the effectiveness of mRNA vaccines is reduced against all three subvariants of Omicron. The findings were published in Nature on March 2
If a pregnant woman catches COVID, it’s very rare for the virus to be passed through the placenta to the fetus. But it’s long been known that a mother’s antibodies can cross the placental barrier to the baby and can also be transferred via breast milk after the baby is born. This is why it’s

PARIS (Reuters) – French drugmaker Sanofi and its British partner GlaxoSmithKline are seeking regulatory approval for their COVID-19 vaccine to be used as a booster, as well as a standalone two-dose shot, after several setbacks. The companies said on Wednesday they intended to submit data to regulators from a late-stage trial of the vaccine, and
A recent study suggests that exercising after getting a vaccine can boost antibodies. Iowa State University researchers found that light- to moderate-intensity exercise immediately after a flu or COVID-19 shot may increase protection against infection. Study participants produced more antibodies over the next 4 weeks post-vaccination, and they did not report increased side effects from

A study tracking COVID-19 survivors found them more likely to develop mental health issues than other people over the year following diagnosis. The researchers saw an increased risk even for those whose COVID-19 was mild enough that they did not require hospitalization. Conditions the researchers investigated included anxiety, depression, opioid use, and cognitive decline. Researchers
Editor’s note: Find the latest COVID-19 news and guidance in Medscape’s Coronavirus Resource Center.

That 42% represents
Patients treated for Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) face a five-year recurrence rate of 40%—markedly higher than the recurrence rates for melanoma and other skin cancers, according to research published today in JAMA Dermatology. Additionally, in the study cohort of more than 600 patients, 95% of MCC recurrences happened in the first three years, suggesting that
