New type of CT scan lights up the obvious cause of hypertension

Doctors at Queen Mary University of London and Barts Hospital, and Cambridge University Hospital, have led research using a new type of CT scan to light up tiny nodules in a hormone gland and cure high blood pressure by their removal. The nodules are discovered in one-in-twenty people with high blood pressure.

The 2022 U.S. RSV surge consisted of a variety of pre-existing viruses

In a recent study posted to the medRxiv* preprint server, researchers investigated whether the upsurge in respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infections during the autumn season of 2022 occurred due to the emergence of a novel, highly transmissible RSV strain or whether multiple pre-existing RSV strains were responsible for the increase in RSV case counts during the period.

Newly revised classification tool for standardized diagnostic reporting of melanocytic lesions

With the growing number of skin biopsies performed annually for suspected melanoma, a simple, easily understood standardized classification system for melanocytic lesions is increasingly important to aid pathologists and clinicians who examine millions of tissue samples each year and to alleviate patient confusion and anxiety.

Immune system B-cells may be better in predicting HER2-positive breast cancer treatment response

Researchers at UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center and colleagues have found that measuring activation of immune-system B cells may be better than measuring either T-cell activation or the total number of immune cells in and around a tumor, called tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), in predicting whether HER2-positive breast cancer responds to treatment.

Why do some people develop persistent lung sequelae after severe COVID-19?

Clinical presentation following severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) ranges from mild self-limiting illness to severe respiratory failure. Many studies have analyzed the early acute phases of coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19), but few focused on the longer-term sequelae following infection.

Researchers show how motor memory is consolidated during sleep

When the Golden State Warriors' Steph Curry makes a free throw, his brain draws on motor memory. Now researchers at UC San Francisco have shown how this type of memory is consolidated during sleep, when the brain processes the day's learning to make the physical act of doing something subconscious.
