Hackensack Meridian Health offers cutting-edge treatment option for patients with carotid artery disease

Hackensack Meridian Health's academic medical centers, Hackensack University Medical Center in Hackensack, NJ and Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune, NJ, are just two of only a few hospitals in the country and two of only three hospitals in New Jersey to offer an innovative new treatment that dramatically reduces the risk of stroke in patients with blocked carotid arteries, the major blood vessels that deliver blood to the brain.

New modular platform offers robust biological approach that targets endless number of diseases

The biological complexity of cancer and other diseases demands a more formidable arsenal of therapies than currently available. Most therapeutic approaches ignore the dynamic molecular network of genes, targeting instead only very few selected disease-related genes.

New scientific statement reveals shared risk factors and cardiotoxic effects of cancer therapy

A new scientific statement issued today by the American Heart Association underscores the commonalities between cardiovascular disease and breast cancer among women, and it calls for more focus on research and specialized treatment where the diseases overlap.

Neurons get stretches of orderly drumroll-like rumblings speckled with strong impulses

A neuron firing deep in the brain might sound a little like: Drumroll...cymbal crash! Drumroll...cymbal crash! Repeat. With emphasis on "repeat," according to a new study.

Research can be first step in harnessing power of artificial intelligence to interpret medical scans

Researchers used machine learning techniques, including natural language processing algorithms, to identify clinical concepts in radiologist reports for CT scans, according to a study conducted at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and published today in the journal Radiology.

Breast cancer patients may be at increased risk of cardiovascular diseases

Breast cancer patients may be at an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases including heart failure and may benefit from a treatment approach that weighs the benefits of specific therapies against potential damage to the heart, according to a new scientific statement from the American Heart Association published in its journal Circulation.

Scientists decipher molecular structure of antipsychotic docked in its key receptor

Antipsychotic drugs - which transformed mental health care following their chance discovery in the mid-20th Century - may finally be poised for a long-overdue makeover incorporating structure-based design.

Standing for long periods of time could aid weight loss, finds study

Results from a new study by researchers at the Mayo Clinic suggest that standing for more than six hours during the day could help people lose weight.

Neuroscientists identify 'anxiety cells' in the brain's hippocampus

Do your palms sweat when you walk down a poorly lit street at night? That feeling may be traced to the firing of newly identified "anxiety" cells deep inside your brain, according to new research from neuroscientists at Columbia University Irving Medical Center and the University of California, San Francisco.

Study finds close connection between eye and cardiovascular damage in type 1 diabetes

In people with type 1 diabetes, high levels of blood glucose eventually can harm blood vessels in the eye, kidney, heart and other organs--but the damage may be inflicted by different biological mechanisms in different organs.

Researchers advance understanding of abnormal mineral accumulation in arteries

A team of researchers from McGill University has advanced the scientific understanding of abnormal mineral accumulation in arteries, a complication often seen in patients with chronic kidney disease and diabetes. Mineralized arteries may affect heart functions, leading to death in some instances.

Mount Sinai study uncovers potential link between poor diet and back injuries

In a first-of-its-kind study, Mount Sinai researchers have found a possible link between a poor diet and back injuries, especially in women.

Discovery of molecular nets may lead to new treatment approach for heart failure

Local researchers have discovered that a group of molecules, called chondroitin sulfate, normally found only in connective tissues such as the cartilage, accumulates and causes inflammation in the hearts of patients with heart failure.

Vigorous physical activity and fitness needed to cut heart disease risk in teenagers

Guidelines for teenagers should stress the importance of vigorous physical activity and fitness to cut the risk of heart disease, new research suggests. Current NHS guidelines say people aged 5 to 18 should do at least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity each day to improve their current and future health.

Vitamin D3 could prevent and repair cardiovascular damage, finds study

A new study by researchers at Ohio University found that Vitamin D3 could prevent and restore damage caused by several cardiovascular diseases.

Coronary artery bypass grafting provides better long-term outcomes in younger patients

Younger patients with severe coronary artery disease may experience better long-term outcomes when they are treated with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) instead of more popular and less invasive stenting procedures, according to a scientific presentation at the 54th Annual Meeting of The Society of Thoracic Surgeons.
