Research examines the roles of cytokines during SARS-CoV-2 infection in rhesus macaques

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers in the United States assessed the role of two cytokines, interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) and interleukin-10 (IL-10), in regulating immune cell responses and inflammation early during severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection in rhesus macaques.

One year later, 40% of patients with COVID pneumonia still had lung problems

A recent study published in the journal Respiratory Research found impaired lung function and dyspnea amongst severe COVID-19 pneumonia survivors one year post-infection. Meanwhile, many COVID-19 patients developed fibrotic-like sequelae as an aftermath of the infection-associated mild or severe pneumonia.

AI used to identify pancreatic cancer in CT scans

In a recent study published in the journal Radiology, researchers in Taiwan developed a deep learning (DL)–based computer-aided detection (CAD) tool to detect pancreatic cancer on contrast-enhanced abdominal computed tomography (CT) scans.

SARS-CoV-2 RNA and antibody detection in infected mothers’ breast milk

In a recent study published in the Journal of Medical Virology, Italian researchers investigated the presence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) ribonucleic acid (RNA) and antibodies (Abs) in the milk of breastfeeding mothers with SARS-CoV-2 infections.

Air pollution may trigger arrhythmias in healthy adolescents

Breathing particulate matter (i.e., tiny particles suspended in the air) air pollution may trigger irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias) in healthy teenagers, according to new research published today in the Journal of the American Heart Association, an open access, peer-reviewed journal of the American Heart Association.

New drug marks cancer cells for destruction by the immune system

Tumor cells are notoriously good at evading the human immune system; they put up physical walls, wear disguises and handcuff the immune system with molecular tricks.

Deep learning tool highly effective at detecting pancreatic cancer on CT

An artificial intelligence (AI) tool is highly effective at detecting pancreatic cancer on CT, according to a study published in Radiology, a journal of the Radiological Society of North America.

Study identifies mechanism behind 'cytokine storm' in COVID-19 patient lungs

A new study by HSS Research Institute scientists identifies a mechanism by which SARS-CoV-2 induces the inflammatory response in COVID-19 patient lungs, so-called "cytokine storm", that can lead to lasting tissue damage and poor patient outcomes.

False positive monkeypox tests in low-risk patients with no exposures

Researchers reported three monkeypox diagnoses presenting atypical rashes.

Research supports use of FFP2/3 masks for HCWs caring for COVID-19 patients

In a recent study posted to the medRxiv* preprint server, researchers in the United Kingdom assessed the aerobiology of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in United Kingdom (UK) hospitals and the impact of aerosol-generating procedures (AGP).

Novel tests detect common cancer signals across over 50 types of cancer

Cancer doctors, care providers and payers need to get ready for a major shift in early cancer detection that will affect almost every stage of cancer diagnosis and treatment. New data supporting the accuracy of multi-cancer early detection (MCED) blood testing (1), presented at the ESMO Congress 2022, have major implications for future cancer care provision, said Fabrice André, ESMO 2022 Scientific Co-Chair.

Study provides a potential game-changer in assessing treatment response in pancreatic cancer patients

The statistics for pancreatic cancer are sobering. With a five-year survival rate of only 9%, incidence of the most common type, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), is growing and projected to be the second cause of cancer deaths by 2030.

New CT technology paired with deep learning denoising enables better detection of multiple myeloma bone disease

New CT technology paired with artificial intelligence (AI)-based noise reduction offers superior detection of bone disease associated with multiple myeloma at lower radiation doses than conventional CT, according to a new study published in Radiology, a journal of the Radiological Society of North America.

Myocarditis cases among young males after COVID-19 vaccines remain rare and mild, study finds

A new study from Israel found that the risk of developing myocarditis among males ages 16 to 19 years was about 1 in 15,000 after third dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, and the cases were rare and mild, according to new research published today in the American Heart Association's flagship journal Circulation.
