Alzheimer’s Breakthrough: Synthetic THC Pill Proves Effective in Clinical Trial

Patients tolerated synthetic THC (dronabinol) well, without the adverse effects commonly associated with existing Alzheimer’s agitation medications. A study conducted by researchers from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and Tufts University School of Medicine found that a pill form of dronabinol, an FDA-approved synthetic version of THC (the main ingredient in marijuana), reduces agitation in Alzheimer’s patients by an [...]

The Future of Rare Disease Treatment with Precision Medicine

Understanding rare diseases Rare diseases affect less than 5 people out of 10,000. However, this still amounts to about 7% of the world’s population, with over 10,000 such conditions. Almost all are genetic in origin, with a few being autoimmune or infectious. Most such patients undergo a diagnostic and therapeutic odyssey involving extensive and [...]

Doctors issue warning for upcoming ‘tripledemic

The term ‘tripledemic’ has hit headlines this week as the NHS begins its Covid and fluvaccine roll-out for vulnerable adults. As the cold weather sets in, many of us have experienced a decline in health, and this may be due to a trio of viruses that are currently circulating around the UK. Older people, care home residents and [...]

High levels of microplastics found in prostate tumors, possibly linked to take-out food

The presence of microplastics in prostate tumors points to potential health risks, and researchers are calling for urgent studies to explore how take-out food may be driving this exposure. In a recent study published in the journal eBioMedicine, researchers attempted to identify, characterize, and quantify microplastics (including their abundances and types) found in human prostate tissue. [...]

AI outperforms radiologists in brain tumor diagnosis

As artificial intelligence advances, its uses and capabilities in real-world applications continue to reach new heights that may even surpass human expertise. In the field of radiology, where a correct diagnosis is crucial to ensure proper patient care, large language models, such as ChatGPT, could improve accuracy or at least offer a good second opinion. [...]

Breakthrough Study Reveals Molecular Clues to Dementia Origins

Work could lead to the discovery of new therapeutic targets. For the first time, researchers have identified “molecular markers” linked to degeneration—detectable changes in cells and their gene-regulating networks—that are common across several types of dementia affecting different brain regions. Significantly, the UCLA-led study, published in the journal Cell, also discovered markers unique to specific forms of [...]

Better than blood tests? Nanoparticle potential found for assessing kidneys

In a study published July 29 in Advanced Materials, University of Texas at Dallas researchers found that X-rays of the kidneys using gold nanoparticles as a contrast agent might be more accurate in detecting kidney disease than standard laboratory blood tests. Based on their study in mice, they also found that caution may be warranted [...]

Greener nanomaterials could transform how our everyday stuff is made

Tiny nanoparticles are at the forefront of materials science—with special properties that make them great at absorbing light in solar panels, cleaning wastewater, and delivering drugs precisely. Some nanoparticles take the form of sheets or fibers. But nanomaterials all have one thing in common—their structure contains components with dimensions on the nanometer scale. That's more than 10,000 times smaller [...]

AI could predict breast cancer risk via ‘zombie cells’

Women worldwide could see better treatment with new AI technology, which enables better detection of damaged cells and more precisely predicts the risk of getting breast cancer, shows new research from the University of Copenhagen. Breast cancer is one of the most common types of cancer. In 2022, the disease caused 670,000 [...]
