Avoidant grievers unconsciously monitor and block mind-wandering contents, study shows

People who are grieving a major loss, such as the death of a spouse or a child, use different coping mechanisms to carry on with their lives. Psychologists have been able to track different approaches, which can reflect different clinical outcomes.

New AUC published for lumbar puncture and spinal fluid analysis in Alzheimer's diagnosis

In preparation for more tools that detect and measure the biology associated with Alzheimer's and other dementias earlier and with more accuracy, an Alzheimer's Association-led Workgroup has published appropriate use criteria for lumbar puncture (spinal tap) and spinal fluid analysis in the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease.

Researchers receive $1.2 million grant to test potential treatment for metastatic breast cancer

A team of Medical University of South Carolina Hollings Cancer Center researchers received a three-year, $1.2 million grant from the U.S. Department of Defens to test a potential therapeutic antibody that could block breast cancer growth with fewer side effects, opening up potential for future drug development.

Study shows possibility of using PET imaging to manage chronic liver diseases

While liver biopsies are powerful and reliable, they are also invasive, painful, limited and subject to complications. These effects may soon be a thing of the past for some patients thanks to new research showing PET imaging with the 18F-FAC radiotracer can be used as a non-invasive substitute. The study is featured in the October issue of The Journal of Nuclear Medicine.

Study reveals how dangerous bacterium shares its genetic information

Bacteria are very sneaky in their efforts to develop resistance to antibiotics. Some strains of bacteria package up the genetic instructions for how they defend themselves and cause disease, and pass this information on to neighbouring, naïve, bacteria - essentially gifting their colleagues with the defences they need to survive against our medical armoury of antibiotics.
