Breast cancer patients experience more severe CIPN symptoms with paclitaxel

Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) – nerve pain, tingling, or numbness in the hands or feet – is a common side effect of certain cancer treatments, including two drugs frequently used to treat cancer – the taxanes paclitaxel and docetaxel.

Scientists develop new immuno-therapeutic approach to target brain metastatic melanomas

Acting as a team, twin stem cells activate the immune system to suppress tumor growth and prolong survival in representative preclinical models.

New insights into how axons grow could lead to effective therapies for blindness, paralysis

Injuries to the nerves can blind or paralyze because adult nerve cells don't regenerate their connections. Now, a team of UConn School of Medicine researchers report in Development that at least a small population of nerve cells exist in everyone that could be coaxed to regrow, potentially restoring sight and movement.

Breaking barriers to improve access to quality information about lupus

In general, there is an issue around the quality of information about lupus on the internet. Rumors, unchecked data, and unconfirmed research all contribute to confusion and anxiety, and can lead to people taking the wrong actions for themselves and their disease.

Factors associated with diagnostic delay in Familial Mediterranean Fever

EULAR – The European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology – held its 2023 annual congress in Milan, Italy. One of the abstracts chosen for presentation in the scientific session on Rheumatic and Musculoskeletal diseases (RMDs) in children and young people, focused on the factors associated with diagnostic delay in FMF, using data from the Juvenile Inflammatory Rheumatism (JIR) cohort.

AI interpretations of MRI images could provide more accurate RA prediction

Early inflammatory arthritis is often undifferentiated, but it may develop into established RA or another arthropathy.

Cardiovascular comobidities in RA patients

The increased cardiovascular risks in RA include acute coronary syndromes (ACS). The extent to which DMARD-induced remission could reduce the risk of ACS in RA versus rates in the general population – and whether there are DMARD-specific beneficial effects on ACS risk – remain unknown.

Important discovery could lead to new treatments for obesity and related diseases

Researchers at the University of East Anglia and the University of Cambridge have made an important discovery in the race to find treatments for obesity and related diseases, such as diabetes.

A deeper look into axial spondyloarthritis: Prevalence, diagnosis, and treatment

There is a large diagnostic delay for people with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA). In 2008, the SPACE cohort started to assess the prevalence of axSpA – and the reliability of an early diagnosis in people with chronic back pain (CBP).

Autoantibodies against 'synaptic adhesion protein' can cause schizophrenia-related changes

Links have been reported between schizophrenia and proteins produced by the immune system that can act against one's own body, known as autoantibodies.

Babies experiencing hypoxia due to sleep apnea tend to develop hypertension in adulthood

Newborn babies who experience low levels of oxygen in their body tissues (hypoxia) due to sleep apnea, for example, tend to develop respiratory problems and hypertension (high blood pressure) in adulthood, and these problems may persist for the rest of their lives.

Environmental enrichment may reduce early accumulation of amyloid plaques in Alzheimer's mouse model

About two-thirds of the risk for Alzheimer's disease (AD) is thought to arise from genetic influences, but about a third could be influenced by environment and lifestyle, opening the door for behavioral interventions that could delay or prevent pathophysiological changes that occur with AD.
