Distrust can lead people to put up walls. For communities of color, past abuses, such as the Tuskegee Experiment, left them wary of scientific research. That distrust has been further fueled by the on-again, off-again relationship some researchers have offered these communities. Keen at first to engage them to gain data for their studies, some

Significant reductions in cigarette use were found among U.S. adults with major depression, substance use disorder, or both from 2006 to 2019, according to a new analysis of nationally representative survey data published today in JAMA. The study was conducted by researchers at the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), part of the National Institutes

Children with autism spectrum disorder tend to experience gastrointestinal issues, such as constipation and stomach pain, at a higher rate than their neurotypical peers. Some also experience other internalizing symptoms at the same time, including stress, anxiety, depression and social withdrawal. Until now, no studies have examined the causal relationship between gastrointestinal symptoms and internalizing

Many over-the-counter dietary supplement products—particularly those used for sexual enhancement and weight loss—are tainted with undisclosed pharmaceutical ingredients. That is the key finding of my recently published review in the Journal of Clinical Pharmacology. My assessment of the Food and Drug Administration’s Health Fraud Product Database turned up 1,068 unique dietary supplement products marketed between

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers conducted an in vitro analysis to assess the host cell furin-mediated cleavability of spike (S) protein of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Omicron (B.1.529) variant. They evaluated two S gene mutations, namely, P681H and N679K for their contribution to the furin

Hay fever is a nuisance at the best of times: a runny nose, an insatiably scratchy throat and eyes that feel like you’ve used hot sauce as eye drops – not to mention, the 15 sneezes per minute when you have a particularly bad episode. Now imagine experiencing all of those awful symptoms while you’re

CN Bio, a leading Organ-on-a-chip Company (OOC) that designs and manufactures single- and multi-organ microphysiological systems (MPS), today introduced its PhysioMimix™ ‘in-a-box’ reagent kit for Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), the most severe form of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Previously only accessible via its contract research services, CN Bio’s best-in-class NASH in vitro model supports the

The hulking Hickory Hollow Mall — a full 1.1 million square feet of retail space in southeastern Nashville — was once the largest shopping center in Tennessee. But like many malls, it’s been in a downward death spiral for more than a decade. Now the mammoth complex surrounded by acres of parking is on track

Among those hospitalized during the pandemic, both COVID-19 patients and those tested for SARS-COV-2 but negative, had higher rates of antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections compared to patients hospitalized before the pandemic, according to a study evaluating the pandemic's impact on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in 271 hospitals across the USA, to be presented at this year's European

(Reuters) – The U.S. drug regulator on Monday granted the first full approval for treating COVID-19 in children aged 28 days and older to Gilead Sciences Inc’s drug remdesivir. The move comes months after the agency expanded the drug’s emergency use authorization to also include children below 12 years of age weighing at least 3.5

After childbirth, some women who received an epidural for pain will develop a debilitating headache. But minority women are less likely than white moms to receive the treatment that can provide relief, according to a new study. Researchers also found that even when women from minority groups received this care, it was more likely to

In a recent study posted to the medRxiv* preprint server, researchers assessed the effectiveness of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines against COVID-19 infections and related hospitalizations.

Back in Autumn 2017, I just didn’t feel right. I’d barely had a night of sleeping properly in weeks and my mood swings were awful. Little did I know that trying to get to the bottom of it would cost me thousands – and years of my life. My eldest son had just started school,

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, the researchers investigated the impact of Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine-induced antibodies against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spike (S) glycoprotein. The BCG vaccine has been effectively used to vaccinate over 130 million children in almost 154 countries against tuberculosis (TB) every year. Various

A new study on Chile's national COVID-19 vaccination program, to be presented at this year's European Congress of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases (ECCMID 2022, Lisbon 23-26), and published in The Lancet Global Health, shows that giving a different type of vaccine (heterologous) for the third or 'booster' dose than was received for the first

Scientists have analyzed the full genetic blueprints of more than 18,000 cancer samples, finding new patterns of mutations that could help doctors provide better, more personalized treatment. Their study, published Thursday in the journal Science, isn’t the first to do such comprehensive “whole genome” analyses of cancer samples. But no one has ever done so
