FLASH radiotherapy may hold promise as a potential treatment for tough-to-kill tumors

FLASH radiation treatment – which delivers therapeutic doses of radiation in a fraction of a second – may hold promise as a potential treatment for tough-to-kill tumors, a first-in-human study in a small number of people with bone cancer suggests.

Treating high-risk, asymptomatic bone metastases with radiation may reduce pain, extend survival

Treating high-risk, asymptomatic bone metastases with radiation may reduce painful complications and hospitalizations and possibly extend overall survival in people whose cancer has spread to multiple sites, a phase II clinical trial suggests.

Genetic signature predicts tumor metastases and patient survival in clear cell kidney cancer

Among patients with kidney cancer, the activity of four specific genes in the cancer cells seems to be able to predict the risk of the tumor spreading and the patient's chances of survival.

New findings point to specific genes linked with increased risk of frozen shoulder

Frozen shoulder, or adhesive capsulitis, is a common cause of shoulder pain and immobility. New findings point to specific genes associated with an increased risk of this condition, reports The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery.

$Over-the-counter aspirin effective in preventing blood clots following surgery to repair bone fractures$

Over-the-counter aspirin effective in preventing blood clots following surgery to repair bone fractures

Patients who have surgery to repair bone fractures typically receive a type of injectable blood thinner, low-molecular-weight heparin, to prevent life-threatening blood clots, but a new clinical trial found that over-the-counter aspirin is just as effective.

Potent antibiotic-loaded bone-cement could be used to treat bone infections

Each year, 700,000 people die due to antibiotic resistance. A growing global population unfortunately generates a growing resistance to established antibiotic treatments - a threat that has been met with insufficient funding and dwindling inspiration, as commercial incentives for developing new antibiotics have fallen.

Changes in the skin microbiome may contribute to development of GVHD after stem cell transplant

Organ damage occurs in up to 70 percent of patients in the first few months following stem cell transplant. The precise reasons for this potentially life-threatening reaction have long been the subject of scientific research.

Multidirectional sports can build stronger bones in young athletes

Young athletes who participate in multidirectional sports, instead of specializing in a unidirectional sport like running, can build stronger bones that may be at less risk for bone injuries as adults, according to a new study from Indiana University researchers.

Study finds geographical differences in PCOS symptoms among black and white women

Women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in Alabama may be more likely to have excessive hair growth and insulin resistance, whereas women with PCOS in California may be more likely to have higher testosterone levels, according to new research published in the Endocrine Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism.
