Evaluating the Seven Components of Wisdom

In this interview, we speak to Professor Dilip Jeste about what 'wisdom' actually is, how it can be assessed, and what this can mean for our health.

Study finds chimeric mRNA induces potent and broadly acting neutralizing antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 variants

Researchers explored strategies to develop an mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccine that could elicit safer and wider protection against SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern.

Engineered SARS-CoV-2 immunogens elicit broadly neutralizing antibodies

New research describes a novel approach whereby SARS-2 antigens were analyzed for conserved sites that may be targeted by broadly neutralizing antibodies that will confer immunity to other Sarbecoviruses.

Study isolated largest panel of β-CoV broadly neutralizing antibodies to date

Researchers isolated a large panel of broadly neutralizing antibodies from COVID-19 recovered-vaccinated donors.

Association of benzodiazepines with SARS-CoV-2 positivity and clinical outcomes in three patient groups

A new study has evaluated the association of BZD use with the clinical outcomes of SARS-CoV-2 positive patients.

Long COVID symptoms in families a year after SARS-CoV-2 infection or household exposure

A new study has analyzed symptoms up to one year of post-acute COVID-19 infection.

Anti-Müllerian hormone plays an active role in polycystic ovary syndrome

High levels of anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) have traditionally been thought of as merely a passive byproduct of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), but a new preclinical study by Weill Cornell Medicine researchers suggests that the hormone plays an active role in the disorder and may contribute to problems with ovulation and fertility.

'Dual eligible' patients may have poorer outcomes, higher spending even in the highest-quality hospitals

They're old enough to qualify for Medicare, and their incomes are low enough to qualify them for Medicaid.

Study provides insights into how early life events can affect brain wiring patterns

A new study of brain development in mice shortly after birth may provide insights into how early life events can affect wiring patterns in the brain that manifest as disease later in life – specifically such disorders as schizophrenia, epilepsy and autism.

Active compound in Chinese herbs prevents colon cancer in mice

The active compound in Chinese herbs called emodin can prevent colon cancer in mice, according to researchers at the University of South Carolina School of Medicine.

Effective treatment for obstructive sleep apnea may reverse biological age acceleration

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) affects 22 million people in the U.S. and is linked to a higher risk of hypertension, heart attacks, stroke, diabetes and many other chronic conditions.

Researchers exploit cancer cells' appetite for iron to treat tough tumors

Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco, have successfully leveraged an FDA-approved drug to halt growth of tumors driven by mutations in the RAS gene, which are famously difficult to treat and account for about one in four cancer deaths.

More people should receive palliative care consultations after severe stroke

Only 20 percent of patients being treated in the hospital for severe stroke received a palliative care consultation, and only 43 percent of patients who died in the hospital met with a palliative care team, according to a new study from Regenstrief Institute and Indiana University.

Novel radioligand therapy shown to increase survival of metastatic prostate cancer patients

A novel prostate cancer treatment - 225Ac-PSMA-617 radioligand therapy - has been shown to increase the progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) patients, according to research published by The Journal of Nuclear Medicine.

Cedars-Sinai scientists identify potential new therapy for COVID-19

Investigators at Cedars-Sinai have identified a potential new therapy for COVID-19: a biologic substance created by reengineered human skin cells.

Serious mental illness associated with increased cardiovascular risk in young adults

An analysis of nearly 600,000 adults in the U.S. found that those diagnosed with bipolar disorder, schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder may have a higher risk of cardiovascular disease at younger ages compared to adults not diagnosed with one of those serious mental illnesses, 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.
