A machine learning model used by Yale University researchers has identified various elements associated with a higher risk of physician turnover, a disruptive and costly problem in the healthcare industry.
A small but significant metabolic difference between human and mouse lung tumor cells has been discovered by Weill Cornell Medicine researchers, explaining a discrepancy in previous study results and pointing toward new strategies for developing cancer treatments.
An interdisciplinary collaboration 10 years in the making used a materials science approach to “fingerprint” the calcium mineral deposits known as microcalcifications that reveal pathological clues to the progression of breast cancer and potentially other diseases.
Surgical masks are not inferior to N95 masks for preventing the spread of COVID-19 to health-care workers, says a study led by McMaster University researchers.
Infections that can’t be treated with antibiotics are a global health crisis and experts are calling for the Canadian government to use COVID-19 resources to address the “silent pandemic” of superbugs.
An enzyme that drives the growth of an often-lethal childhood brain cancer may hold the key to a future treatment, says a McMaster University-led study.
A new screening tool identified roughly half of primary care patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD) who could benefit from available treatments, according to a nationwide study.
An experimental contraceptive drug candidate developed by Weill Cornell Medicine investigators temporarily stops sperm in their tracks and prevents pregnancies in preclinical models.
MicroRNA (miRNA) molecules in pancreatic islets have been thought to play important roles in Type 2 diabetes, but until now scientists have not confidently identified which miRNAs are associated with the disease in humans.
Surgery that removes only a portion of one of the five lobes that comprise a lung is as effective as the traditional surgery that removes an entire lobe for certain patients with early-stage lung cancer, a new study has found.
Trial shows viral suppression is not achieved through increased case management alone
A new systematic review and meta-analysis by an international group of researchers has found giving a blood thinning drug (thrombolysis) before treatment to remove a clot from the brain - known as thrombectomy procedure - to stroke patients,
People at risk of heart disease are more likely to be prescribed relevant medications if they see the same GP over time (known as continuity of care) but not more likely to take their medications (known as adherence), according to researchers at the University of Bristol.
Are you an adult aged between 18 and 64 who sleeps 7-9 hours a day? Or are you over 65 and sleep 7-8 hours a day?
New research - which studied genomic changes in different types of brain cell - has yielded a potentially surprising result: many of the changes in Alzheimer’s disease are in brain cells other than neurons, the cells that actually die as the disease progresses.
In cancer stem cell and animal models, rebecsinib reversed overactive protein splicing of ADAR1 protein that drives cloning capacity and immune evasion by many malignancies.
UCLA researchers say the approach could help tackle cancer, antibiotic resistance, food-related disorders
A Yale-led study examines the potential environmental benefits of more carefully selecting patients for prostate biopsy in a way that can also spare low-yield and potentially harmful procedures.
Measuring the patient’s perspective of recovery after cardiac surgery is challenging. During the initial recovery phase, clinicians struggle to collect information about sleep patterns, mental health, and other symptoms from their patients.
Delirium is a transient but serious condition that complicates as many as one in five hospitalizations, and those living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are especially at risk.
