Carbon stable isotope values yield different dietary associations with added sugars in children compared to adults

MyBlueDots1 month ago01 mins

New research from the Monell Chemical Senses Center and Temple University about nutritional biomarkers using carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios showed very different results in children versus adults, which points the way to better understanding the role of added sugars in overall dietary patterns across the lifespan.

Pregnant women are often uninsured and go without needed care in abortion-ban states, study shows

MyBlueDots1 month ago01 mins

Pregnant women are more often uninsured and have worse access to routine medical care in states that ban (or restrict) abortion care, according to a new study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine from researchers at Harvard Medical School, the City University of New York’s Hunter College, and other institutions. The researchers also link the deficiencies in pregnancy coverage and care to abortion-ban/restriction states’ skimpy Medicaid programs.

Combination therapy shows superior efficacy in reducing albumin in chronic kidney disease and type 2 diabetes patients

MyBlueDots1 month ago01 mins

New data from the CONFIDENCE trial demonstrates that combination therapy with finerenone and empagliflozin leads to significantly greater reductions in albuminuria than either agent alone in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D). The breakthrough study was presented today at the 62nd ERA Congress and published in the New England Journal of Medicine.

Addition of regional nodal irradiation does not decrease rates of invasive breast cancer recurrence, study finds

MyBlueDots1 month ago01 mins

Recent results from the NRG-NSABP B-51/RTOG 1304 clinical study showed that the addition of regional nodal irradiation (RNI) does not decrease the rates of invasive breast cancer recurrence in patients whose positive axillary nodes at presentation convert to negative following neoadjuvant chemotherapy. These results were recently published in the New England Journal of Medicine.

Daily walking patterns in COPD patients: Study shows deterioration in walking as disease progresses

MyBlueDots1 month ago01 mins

Walking is a fundamental activity for maintaining health. While numerous studies have assessed how much people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) walk, few have explored how they walk, especially in unsupervised, real-life settings.

First generative AI fully embedded in clinical radiology boosts productivity by 40% without compromising accuracy

MyBlueDots1 month ago01 mins

A first-of-its-kind generative AI system, developed in-house at Northwestern Medicine, is revolutionizing radiology—boosting productivity, identifying life-threatening conditions in milliseconds and offering a breakthrough solution to the global radiologist shortage, a large new study finds.

‘Master control switch’ protein that heightens neurodegenerative disease offers new treatment target

MyBlueDots1 month ago01 mins

UT Southwestern Medical Center scientists have identified a protein that appears to act as a master control switch for reactive gliosis, a prominent feature of many neurodegenerative diseases that is thought to contribute to their pathology. The researchers’ findings, published in Neuron, could eventually lead to new treatments for Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and Huntington’s diseases and other neurodegenerative conditions.

New findings reveal how the heart is organized from the earliest stages of embryonic development
