Alcohol advertising is everywhere—on TV, bus shelters, and social media. As a parent, keeping track of what your child sees can seem impossible. So, should we be concerned about children being exposed to alcohol ads?

New genetic clues explain speed of insulin depletion in patients with type 1 diabetes

MyBlueDots2 weeks ago01 mins

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune condition where the immune system destroys insulin-producing β-cells in the pancreas. Yet, not all patients lose insulin function at the same pace. Understanding this variation is especially important in Japanese populations, who tend to experience faster and more complete loss of insulin secretion than their Western counterparts.

Video consultations are faster, cheaper and more sustainable for patients, research reveals

A video consultation between patient and surgeon is just as good as a physical visit to the outpatient clinic to discuss a major operation. This is evident from research by Amsterdam UMC, which demonstrated that a video consultation is just as good as a physical consultation in terms of information uptake.

New study suggests PTSD is important mental health comorbidity for veterans with diabetes

MyBlueDots2 weeks ago01 mins

Nearly one in four U.S. adults over the age of 65 have diabetes. Older veterans are highly impacted by this disease, due in part to risk factors incurred during their military service, such as exposure to Agent Orange and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Diabetes requires active and ongoing daily self-management and increases the risk of developing other chronic health conditions, which negatively impact functioning and disability.

First described 60 years ago, chronic myoclonus following cerebral anoxia is now known as Lance-Adams syndrome. This is a severe disorder whose mechanisms were, until now, poorly understood. Geoffroy Vellieux, Vincent Navarro, and their colleagues at the Paris Brain Institute now show that this condition originates in the motor cortex. Their findings are published in the journal Neurology.

Sounding the alarm: Survey shows men are unaware of ‘young man’s disease’

A survey commissioned by The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center—Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC—James) focused on Americans’ perceptions of testicular cancer. The results suggest more can be done to educate the public about the disease, which affects nearly 10,000 adults in the United States each year, according to the American Cancer Society.

Research challenges link between loneliness and mortality for older adults receiving home care

Study indicates racial differences in tumor collagen structure may impact cancer prognosis

MyBlueDots2 weeks ago01 mins

In cancer care, accurate tools for predicting whether a tumor will spread (metastasize) can help patients receive the most appropriate treatments. But existing prediction methods don’t always work equally well for everyone. In particular, Black patients with breast or colon cancer often experience worse outcomes than white patients, despite receiving similar care.

Psilocybin provides benefit for people with cancer and major depression, clinical trial reveals

MyBlueDots2 weeks ago01 mins

New results from a clinical trial reveal that a single dose of psilocybin—a naturally occurring psychedelic compound found in mushrooms—can provide sustained reductions in depression and anxiety in individuals with cancer suffering from major depressive disorder. The findings are published in Cancer.
