Men presented more severe carpal tunnel syndrome and were offered surgery more often than women

Males presented with more severe carpal tunnel syndrome and were offered surgery more often than females with the condition, according to work by researchers at Hospital for Special Surgery featured today in a poster presentation at the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons 2022 Annual Meeting.

WVU researcher unravels role of STAT5 protein in the development of multiple sclerosis

A human immune system is a lot like the board game Mouse Trap: it's a Rube Goldberg system of interacting parts. Only instead of a falling ball causing a tiny diver to leap into a tub - which, in turn, springs a trap on some plastic mice - proteins trigger other proteins to activate immune cells and direct them toward germs.

Substantial alteration in gut microbiome observed in children with with MIS-C and COVID

A team of scientists from Turkey has recently evaluated the diversity and composition of gut microbiota in children diagnosed with multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS-C) and acute coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). They have observed significant alteration in the gut microbiota composition in children with MIS-C. These changes are associated with autoimmunity, metabolic dysfunction, and obesity.
