Injuries associated with alcohol use disorders may increase the risk of death in the next year

When people are injured severely enough to require treatment at the hospital and they are either intoxicated or have an alcohol use disorder, they have a fivefold increased risk of dying in the next year, according to a new study in the Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs.

Study finds spike in endocarditis among patients with cocaine or opioid use disorder from 2011 to 2022

The incidence rate of infective endocarditis - a rare but often fatal inflammation of the heart valves - among patients with cocaine use disorder or opioid use disorder increased from 2011 to 2022, with the steepest increase occurring from 2021 to 2022, a new study reports.

People with Alzheimer’s and Down syndrome may benefit from participating in Alzheimer’s clinical trials

Amyloid plaques — protein clumps that are one of the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease—occur at roughly the same level in the brains of people with Down syndrome who have Alzheimer's as they do in people with forms of hereditary, early-onset Alzheimer's, according to research funded by the National Institutes of Health.

How human cell atlases provide the missing links between genes, diseases and therapies

A Nature Medicine journal perspective article describes the potential of cell atlases in shaping the future of medicine. Providing the missing link between genes and diseases, single-cell atlases make it possible to develop more precise and specific diagnostic tools by understanding the mechanisms of complex diseases.
