Watch: Their baby died. The medical bills haunted them.

Born with a congenital heart defect and other medical issues, Sterling Raspe lived just eight months. In that time, she needed dozens of medical procedures and often required round-the-clock care in the neonatal intensive care unit.

DNA metagenomic analyses of clinical samples from Monkeypox virus-infected individuals

Researchers analyzed genomic sequences of MPXV obtained from 18 patients who contracted MPXV infection between June and July 2022.

Study on the lung-function trajectories in COVID-19 patients

A new study analyzed the data from a prospective longitudinal cohort follow-up study of COVID-19 survivors over two years after infection.

Researchers compare end-of-life care in persons with and without dementia

Researchers have known that race and ethnicity play a role in the intensity of medical care at the end of life, but the difference is more pronounced among individuals with dementia, the researchers found.

Gut microbiome likely to contribute to HIV infection

New UCLA-led research suggests certain gut bacteria -- including one that is essential for a healthy gut microbiome – differ between people who go on to acquire HIV infection compared to those who have not become infected.

Alzheimer’s researchers highlight the need for inclusive clinical trials

Enrolling representative populations in clinical trials for Alzheimer's disease is critical for finding treatments that will be safe and effective for all patients. African Americans and Latinos are disproportionately affected by this disease yet are substantially underrepresented in trials of promising therapies. For example, an analysis of data from more than 100 clinical trials testing new treatments for Alzheimer's disease found that only 12% of participants were of any non-White race or Hispanic ethnicity.

Activating digital resilience needs to be undertaken as a “collective endeavor”: study

Helping children become more 'digitally resilient' needs to be a collective effort if they are to learn how to "thrive online", according to new research led by the University of East Anglia.

Patients with scleroderma have reduced levels of Cathepsin L

Much of the research on scleroderma, a connective tissue disease that causes scarring, or fibrosis, has focused on the increased number of proteins promoting fibrosis in these patients. A Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) research team took a different tact and measured the levels of an antifibrotic protein, Cathepsin L, in these patients.

Study reveals the role of autophagy in competitive elimination of cancer cells

Elimination of transformed cells that can initiate cancer is necessary to maintain tissue integrity. In a new study, scientists from Tokyo University of Science show how this mechanism is regulated by the cellular process “autophagy.”

Researchers find link between metabolism and dementia-related brain measures

Every three seconds, someone in the world is diagnosed with dementia. And while there is no known cure, changes in the brain can occur years before a dementia diagnosis.

Increased risk for all-cause dementia in people who abstain from alcohol

Alcohol abstinence increases the risk for dementia in later life, according to a recent study published in the journal Addiction. Furthermore, neuroimaging records suggest that even low alcohol consumption levels could harm brain health, as does the dose-response relationship between alcohol use and systemic diseases, such as metabolic diseases and certain cancers.

Study: One-third of Alzheimer’s disease family caregivers experience persistent depression symptoms

More than 60% of family caregivers of individuals with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) experienced at least mild depressive symptoms already at the time the individual with AD was diagnosed. In one third of them, depressive symptoms worsened during a five-year follow-up.

Bioactive compounds derived from Ganoderma lucidum exhibit anti-SARS-CoV-2 activity

Scientists have identified lucidenic acid A, one of the bioactive compounds of Ganoderma lucidum, as a potential inhibitor of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) host cell entry. The study has recently been published in the journal Food and Chemical Toxicology.
