Exposure to air pollution associated with more hospital admissions for lower respiratory infections

MyBlueDots5 months ago01 mins

Air pollution is a well-known risk factor for respiratory diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, its contribution to lower respiratory infections —those that affect the lower respiratory tract, including the lungs, bronchi and alveoli—is less well documented, especially in adults.

Just a few hours of yoga can greatly reduce stress

Ten years of research on yoga as a stress-reducing activity provides a clear answer: A little effort offers real health benefits.

Unraveling the spread of Candida auris, a drug-resistant fungal pathogen

MyBlueDots5 months ago01 mins

In just a decade, the drug-resistant fungal pathogen Candida auris (C. auris) has emerged as one of the most formidable threats to health care settings worldwide. Nowhere in the United States is this threat more pronounced than the New York-New Jersey (NY-NJ) metro area, which accounts for nearly 20% of the nation’s cases.

Case study: Bartonella and Babesia co-infection in family associated with neurological illnesses

MyBlueDots5 months ago01 mins

In a new case study, researchers from North Carolina State University found that a family suffering from illnesses that included neurological symptoms were co-infected with both several Bartonella species and Babesia divergens-like MO-1. The study presents more evidence of these co-infections in humans and further support for stealth Babesia and Bartonella pathogens as a cause or cofactor in neurological and neuropsychiatric symptoms.

Meditation found to induce changes in deep brain areas associated with memory and emotional regulation

MyBlueDots5 months ago01 mins

Researchers using intracranial electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings from deep within the brain found that meditation led to changes in activity in the amygdala and hippocampus, key brain regions involved in emotional regulation and memory.

Smart patch combines real-time health monitoring and drug delivery

MyBlueDots5 months ago01 mins

A DGIST research team, led by Professor Kyung-In Jang, has developed a smart patch capable of real-time biometric signal monitoring and drug delivery. This patch integrates various sensors and a drug delivery system into a single unit using a foldable structure, enabling real-time cardiovascular health monitoring and immediate drug administration when necessary. The research team expects this technology to be widely applicable across multiple medical fields, including glucose management, pain relief, and chronic disease treatment.

Preeclampsia prediction models lose accuracy after initial 48 hours, study finds

MyBlueDots5 months ago01 mins

The existing prediction models for severe complications of preeclampsia are most accurate only in the two days after hospital admission, with deteriorating performance over time, according to a study published February 4 in the open-access journal PLOS Medicine by Henk Groen of University of Groningen, the Netherlands, and colleagues.

Scientists design an effective treatment strategy to prevent heart injury caused by a class of anticancer drugs

MyBlueDots5 months ago01 mins

A team of scientists at the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares (CNIC), working in collaboration with international partners, has designed a strategy for preventing the cardiotoxic effects of anthracyclines, a widely used class of anticancer drugs.

Luteolin, an antioxidant in vegetables, may contribute to the prevention of hair graying

MyBlueDots5 months ago01 mins

Graying hair is a hallmark of aging, often considered an inevitable part of growing older. However, recent research from Nagoya University in Japan led by Masashi Kato and Takumi Kagawa suggests that an antioxidant might suppress this process. The researchers identified luteolin, an antioxidant found in vegetables including celery, broccoli, carrots, onions, and peppers, as being a potential anti-graying agent. Their findings pave the way for potential applications in human hair care.

How healthy stem cells turn into oral cancer

MyBlueDots5 months ago01 mins

Nearly 60,000 people are diagnosed with oral cancer in the U.S. every year, according to the American Cancer Society, and the rate of new cases continues to rise. Now, researchers at University of California San Diego have discovered how healthy stem cells are transformed into cancer stem cells in the earliest stages of the disease.
