Multifunctional YHM shows promise for diagnosis and treatment of orthotopic glioma

Glioma is an intracranial malignant tumor that still poses a major clinical challenge due to its highly invasive nature, low cure rate, and high mortality rate.

AI tool could capture subtle, early signs of pancreatic cancer in CT scans

An artificial intelligence (AI) tool developed by Cedars-Sinai investigators accurately predicted who would develop pancreatic cancer based on what their CT scan images looked like years prior to being diagnosed with the disease.

Free fatty acid-binding pocket found to be preserved across spike proteins of beta coronaviruses

Researchers assessed the binding pocket of linoleic acid, an essential free-fatty acid in the receptor-binding domains of the spike protein of beta-coronaviruses.

AI-based system improves bladder cancer treatment response assessment

In a small but multi-institutional study, an artificial intelligence-based system improved providers' assessments of whether patients with bladder cancer had complete response to chemotherapy before a radical cystectomy (bladder removal surgery).

Advanced microscopy reveals exciting insights into dynamic ultrastructure of the heart

What happens below the cellular level when the heart contracts and relaxes has long been unexplored. Thanks to new ultra-high-resolution electron microscopy techniques, scientists can now watch the heart beating – almost at a molecular level.

SARS-CoV-2 Delta-Omicron recombinant identified in a transplant patient treated with Sotrovimab

Researchers described a case of co-infection with SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern, Delta and Omicron.

Researchers explore the link between immunoglobulins and blood profile in severe SARS-CoV-2 patients

A new study illustrated the association of immunoglobulins with blood characteristics in COVID-19 patients.

Patients treated with edoxaban after TAVR do not find reduction in mini strokes, blood clots in the brain

Patients treated with the blood thinner edoxaban for six months after a heart valve replacement procedure experienced fewer symptomless blood clots inside the heart valve replacement than patients who were treated with two antiplatelet drugs, according to data presented at the American College of Cardiology's 71st Annual Scientific Session.

Addition of alirocumab to high-intensity statin treatment reduces key measures of plaque vulnerability

Compared with a placebo, the addition of the injectable cholesterol-lowering drug alirocumab to high-intensity statin treatment in patients who have had a heart attack resulted in twofold greater reductions in three key measures of plaque vulnerability that signal risk for future cardiac events, according to research presented at the American College of Cardiology's 71st Annual Scientific Session.

The effects of severe COVID-19 on the lungs after one year

While short-term lung damage has been reported in patients hospitalized with pneumonia caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), there is little data on the more chronic sequelae of this condition. A new research paper summarizes data from patients seen one year from discharge.

AI-enabled tool may make it easier to predict heart attack risk

Investigators from Cedars-Sinai have created an artificial intelligence-enabled tool that may make it easier to predict if a person will have a heart attack.

The significance of bedside lung ultrasound on predicting COVID-19-related hospitalization in children

A recent study demonstrated the significance of bedside lung ultrasound on predicting COVID-19-related hospitalization in children.

Quantum dots can quantify specific types of cells inside deep tissues of the body

To accurately diagnose and treat diseases, doctors and researchers need to see inside bodies. Medical imaging tools have come a long way since the humble x-ray, but most existing tools remain too coarse to quantify numbers or specific types of cells inside deep tissues of the body.

Trial reveals effectiveness of axi-cel as first-line treatment for high-risk lymphoma

Results from the ZUMA-12 trial led by researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center showed that first-line treatment with axicabtagene ciloleucel (axi-cel), a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy, achieved a high rate of complete response in patients with high-risk large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL).
