Study explores histopathological, serological, and clinical characteristics of PASC in patients with mild COVID-19

Researchers investigated the clinical, histopathological, imaging, and serological characteristics of post-acute sequelae of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) (PASC) in patients with mild COVID-19.

New method for determining the need for coronary stents, bypass surgery more effective than angiogram

A new method for determining whether patients with heart disease need coronary stents or bypass surgery is more effective than the angiogram, which is currently used, according to research from UTHealth Houston Heart & Vascular.

Study identifies a urinary biomarker to reveal early-stage Alzheimer’s disease

Could a simple urine test reveal if someone has early-stage Alzheimer’s disease and could this pave the way for large-scale screening programs? A new study in Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience certainly suggests so. The researchers tested a large group of patients with Alzheimer’s disease of different levels of severity and healthy controls with normal cognition to identify differences in urinary biomarkers.

Powerful imaging tool creates 3D atlas of the spectrum of tuberculous and COVID-19 lung lesions

Gross anatomy reveals three-dimensional shapes of pathology at a large scale. Histology, in contrast, reveals the microscopic anatomy of biological structures. But that magnification comes at a cost - histology shows only two-dimensional shapes because it studies small, flat slices of stained tissue.

New machine learning fusion model for better diagnosis of ovarian lesions

Although ovarian cancer is the deadliest type of cancer for women, only about 20% of cases are found at an early stage, as there are no real screening tests for them and few symptoms to prompt them.

Frequent surveillance imaging not linked to better outcomes following lung cancer surgery

Regular postsurgical screening is critical for patients with lung cancer, the United States' second most prevalent type of cancer and leading cause of cancer deaths.

Machine learning pinpoints the most accurate timelines for predicting Alzheimer's progression

A Cornell-led collaboration used machine learning to pinpoint the most accurate means, and timelines, for anticipating the advancement of Alzheimer's disease in people who are either cognitively normal or experiencing mild cognitive impairment.

Cryo-electron tomography helps visualize platelet deformation due to SARS-CoV-2 spike protein

Researchers used cellular cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) to demonstrate the role of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spike (S) protein in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-triggered severe coagulopathies.

Possibility of the first fluid biomarker that reflects brain pathology in primary tauopathies

Addressing this gap in research, a recent Nature Medicine study hypothesized that 4R isoform-specific MTBR-tau species accumulate in the patient’s brain of specific subtypes of 4R tauopathies.

Low-dose CT screening improves survival rate of lung cancer patients

Diagnosing early-stage lung cancer with low-dose computed tomography (CT) screening drastically improves the survival rate of cancer patients over a 20-year period, according to a large-scale international study being presented by Mount Sinai researchers at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America.

Researchers to develop brain imaging radiotracers for better understanding of Alzheimer's, autism

Emory researchers are on the cusp of seeing in real time how brain diseases like Alzheimer's and autism spectrum disorder affect a patient's brain function.

Quantifying the risk of surgery‐related aphasia after brain tumor removal

Can surgeons quantify the risk of aphasia when removing a brain tumor? To find out, researchers at Klinikum rechts der Isar of the Technical University of Munich (TUM) are analyzing the brain as a network. In a current study with 60 patients, they already achieved an accuracy rate with three quarters of their predictions.

Inhibitory neuron dysfunction emerges as a modulable mechanism of hyperexcitability

A small group of brain cells linked in a circuit is responsible for setting off whole-brain seizures in a rare form of epilepsy affected by blood sugar levels, a study led by UT Southwestern researchers suggests. The finding, published in Science Translational Medicine, could lead to new treatments for other metabolic disorders in the brain, the authors said.
