A large-scale study has identified dozens of blood proteins linked to prostate cancer risk, some shared across populations, some unique to specific groups.
An evidence-based web-app helped children with epilepsy to fall asleep on average 16.5 minutes earlier.
Sleep apnea is a disorder characterized by repeated obstructions or collapses of the upper airway during sleep. These interruptions to breathing reduce the amount of oxygen in the blood. Stroke patients are at high risk, as they experience poorer sleep quality and have a higher prevalence of sleep disorders, such as insomnia and respiratory problems.
An artificial saliva in the form of a mouthwash, produced with the CANECPI-5 protein extracted from sugarcane and modified in a laboratory, can aid in treating teeth in patients with head and neck cancer. In these cases, radiotherapy very close to the mouth can destroy salivary glands and compromise saliva production, which is essential for controlling bacteria and disease.
A McGill University research team has developed a painless, automated way to deliver in vitro fertilization (IVF) hormones using a light-activated microneedle patch, an innovation that could ease one of the most stressful parts of fertility treatment and open new possibilities for other diseases that require frequent, time-sensitive injections.
In earlier work, a team led by researchers at the Broad Institute and Mass General Brigham discovered a key cell type underlying fibrosis in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Now, in a new study published in Nature, the team has characterized the crosstalk between this and other types of cells that leads to fibrosis.
Past research has found that exposure to bright lights and high levels of noise can alter both physiological processes and human behavior. For instance, an elevated or limited exposure to bright lights and noise has been found to influence people’s sleeping patterns, circadian rhythm, mood, metabolism, stress levels and mental performance.
