Stress-mitigation techniques targeting parents have no effect on pediatric asthma outcomes

The patient-centered study's premise was straightforward: Since there is a definite link between parents' psychosocial stress levels and asthma suffered by inner city kids, if you provide stressed-out parents effective coping skills, would kids take their medicines more regularly and would their health improve?

New study reveals impact of race, gender and socioeconomic status on PCI outcomes

A first-of-its-kind study discovered that women and minorities who underwent a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are at a greater risk of experiencing recurrent cardiac events within the first year after their procedure compared to Caucasian men.

New spherical nucleic acid drug crosses blood-brain barrier to target brain tumors in animals

The first drug using spherical nucleic acids to be systemically given to humans has been developed by Northwestern University scientists and approved by the Food and Drug Administration as an investigational new drug for an early-stage clinical trial in the deadly brain cancer glioblastoma multiforme.

Scientists develop new method to clear antibiotic-resistant bacteria from the eyes

Scientists have developed a new method to clear antibiotic resistant bacteria from the surface of the eye – introducing a new strain of bacteria that preys on other microorganisms.

Simulation techniques improve brain death diagnostic, communications skills of neurologists

One of the most difficult skills a neurologist must learn is how to diagnosis brain death and communicate the bad news to family members.

Excellence of human olfactory abilities has been overlooked for centuries

It is commonly believed that we have a poor sense of smell relative to other mammals, most notably the dog. However, a review published today reports that, based on 14 years of study of the olfactory system, humans have an excellent ability to discern different odours. We are just sensitive to different scents compared with other mammals.

Scientists discover free C3d protein that mitigates tumor-induced immunosuppression

In the body, anti-cancer immunity is immobilized by stealth cancer forces. But a natural de-immobilizer has been identified - and it has a vendetta.

Study findings may help shed light on cause of systemic sclerosis

Americans and Norwegians with systemic sclerosis had higher levels of bacteria that can cause inflammation and lower levels of bacteria that are believed to protect against inflammation compared with healthy people, according to a new study by researchers from UCLA and Oslo University.

Researchers uncover structural details that make eye-targeting virus a better tool for future therapies

In their quest to replicate themselves, viruses have gotten awfully good at tricking human cells into pumping out viral proteins. That's why scientists have been working to use viruses as forces for good: to deliver useful genes to human cells and help patients who lack important proteins or enzymes.
