New research focuses on restoring movement after spinal cord injury

People with spinal cord injuries often experience life-long movement impairment or paralysis, for which there is no cure. When coupled with rehabilitative exercise, electrical spinal cord stimulation can help restore some movement, though the mechanisms of how the nerves in the spinal cord recover are unknown.

Bronchodilators do little to help people without COPD but have smoking-related respiratory symptoms

Researchers supported by the National Institutes of Health have found that dual bronchodilators - long-lasting inhalers that relax the airways and make it easier to breathe - do little to help people who do not have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but who do have respiratory symptoms and a history of smoking.

Clinical trial shows efficacy and safety of belimumab in East Asian adults with lupus nephritis

This prespecified subgroup analysis of East Asian adults who participated in a phase 3 clinical trial of belimumab added to standard therapy vs. placebo added to standard therapy for lupus nephritis shows earlier and more sustained improvement in kidney outcomes with the addition of belimumab.
