A 1976 Supreme Court decision said that while the Constitution requires that incarcerated people receive health care, the quality of the care doesn’t need to be top-notch, only “reasonably adequate.”

Intestinal immune system gives new clues to mechanism behind food tolerance and allergies

MyBlueDots1 week ago01 mins

With every bite of food we take, our intestinal immune system must make a big decision. Tasked with defending us from foreign pathogens, these exquisitely sensitive cells somehow distinguish friend from foe—destroying invaders while tolerating food and helpful bacteria. How the gut separates the good from the bad has long puzzled scientists.

Advanced ultrasound cannot discern who would benefit from beta-blocker treatment after myocardial infarction

MyBlueDots1 week ago01 mins

A new study by researchers at Karolinska Institutet and Södersjukhuset shows that advanced ultrasound imaging analyses cannot identify patients who would benefit from beta-blocker treatment after a myocardial infarction. The study, published in the European Heart Journal—Cardiovascular Imaging, is a follow-up to the previous REDUCE-AMI study.

IKEA study finds compressed work schedules can help employees switch off from work, but do not reduce burnout symptoms

MyBlueDots1 week ago01 mins

Condensing workweeks into fewer days to enjoy more days off, what are the implications for employee well-being? New longitudinal research from Ghent University at IKEA Belgium challenges policymakers’ assumptions about the benefits of compressed work schedules, revealing both their potential and limitations in promoting workplace well-being.

Nerve stimulation therapy can be improved by synchronization with the body’s natural rhythms

MyBlueDots1 week ago01 mins

Some health problems, including chronic pain, inflammation and neurological diseases, can be treated by nerve stimulation, for example, with the help of electrodes that are attached to the ear and activate the vagus nerve. This method is sometimes referred to as an “electric pill.”

Brain receptor study offers hope for preventing epilepsy after traumatic brain injury

MyBlueDots1 week ago01 mins

A new international study has unveiled critical insights in understanding post-traumatic epilepsy (PTE), a condition that can develop following traumatic brain injury. Published in Theranostics, the study highlights the important role played by a receptor in the brain called P2X7. It suggests how we could both reduce epilepsy risk and predict which patients are most at risk of developing PTE by targeting this receptor.

A high-resolution ‘map’ reveals the structural and functional complexity of endogenous NMDA receptors in the brain

MyBlueDots1 week ago01 mins

In a study published in Cell, a research team led by Zhu Shujia from the Center for Excellence in Brain Science and Intelligence Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), along with Li Yang from the Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica of CAS, has dissected the assembly and architecture of endogenous N-methyl-ᴅ-aspartate receptors (eNMDARs) in the adult mammalian cerebral cortex and hippocampus.
