  • Earlier measles vaccine could help curb global outbreak

    Earlier measles vaccine could help curb global outbreak

    The global measles outbreak must trigger an urgent debate into whether a vaccine should be recommended earlier to better protect against the highly contagious disease during infancy, a new review states.

    The systematic review, led by Murdoch Children’s Research Institute (MCRI), found vaccinating children from as early as four months of age for measles warranted serious discussion given that only 30 per cent of babies in low- and middle-income countries were protected by maternal antibodies…

    By contrast, about six out of 10 LGBTQ adults said gay and lesbian people are generally accepted in the US. 

    A new poll by the Pew Research Centre has found that transgender people experience less social acceptance in the United States than those who are lesbian, gay or bisexual, according to LGBTQ adults.

    About six out of 10 LGBTQ adult participants in the poll said there is “a great deal” or “a fair amount” of social acceptance in the US for gay and lesbian people, according to…

    Resetting the fight-or-flight response | ScienceDaily

    Being cut off in traffic, giving a presentation or missing a meal can all trigger a suite of physiological changes that allows the body to react swiftly to stress or starvation. Critical to this “fight-or-flight” or stress response is a molecular cycle that results in the activation of Protein Kinase A (PKA), a protein involved in everything from metabolism to memory formation. Now, a study by researchers at Penn State has revealed how this cycle resets between stressful events so the body…

  • Traditional diagnostic decision support systems outperform generative AI for diagnosing disease

    Traditional diagnostic decision support systems outperform generative AI for diagnosing disease

    Medical professionals have been using artificial intelligence (AI) to streamline diagnoses for decades, using what are called diagnostic decision support systems (DDSSs). Computer scientists at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), a founding member of the Mass General Brigham healthcare system first developed MGH’s own DDSS called DXplain in 1984, which relies on thousands of disease profiles, clinical findings, and data points to generate and rank potential diagnoses for use by clinicians….

  • All-in-one model reconstructs complex liver architecture

    All-in-one model reconstructs complex liver architecture

    The liver has a unique structure, especially at the level of individual cells. Hepatocytes, the main liver cells, release bile into tiny channels called bile canaliculi, which drain into the bile duct in the liver periportal region. When this bile drainage system is disrupted, it causes liver damage and disease. Because of this unique architecture, liver disease investigation has been limited by the lack of lab-grown models that accurately show how the disease progresses, as it is…

  • When climate disasters hit, they often leave long-term health care access shortages

    When climate disasters hit, they often leave long-term health care access shortages

    Immediate recovery efforts receive the most attention after severe natural disasters, yet new data from researchers at Drexel University and the University of Maryland suggests these climate events often also leave a critical long-term — and often unaddressed — problem in declines in access to health care.

    The team found a statistically significant link between severe natural disasters, such as heatwaves, droughts, floods and wildfires, and loss of health care infrastructure — including…
