Researchers harness cancer cells' carbon monoxide to produce anticancer drug8:23 What if we could use a cancer's own byproduct to make drugs that destroy tumor cells from the inside? That is exactly what Katsunori Tanaka and his team have done at the RIKEN Pioneering Research Institute (PRI) in Japan. Dual-targeted therapy shows promise against metastatic triple-negative breast cancer7:51 A new preclinical study suggests that attacking triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) in two ways at once can kill cancer cells, slow tumor growth and limit the cancer's spread. Researchers at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC – James) developed the approach. Electronic implant lowers blood glucose and reduces weight in mice7:51 Type 2 diabetes is becoming increasingly common worldwide. Unlike type 1 diabetes, it is often linked to obesity, a sedentary lifestyle and excess energy intake over many years. Brain-computer interface enables unresponsive ICU patients to control sounds7:18 Unresponsive ICU patients in a new Columbia study were able to raise and lower the frequency of a beeping tone with their minds, via noninvasive EEG electrodes that recorded and translated their brainwaves. Postpartum recovery may influence long-term maternal aging and health7:18 Jesse Poganik, PhD, of the Division of Genetics within the Department of Medicine at Mass General Brigham, is the senior author of a paper published in Trends in Endocrinology & Metabolism, "The Postpartum Recovery Window as a Determinant of Maternal Aging." Stephen Albright, formerly of Mass General Brigham, is the lead author. Study links recreational cannabis legalization to rising heart attack admissions5:43 Legalization of recreational cannabis in the US is associated with a rise in hospital admissions for cardiovascular disease, finds an analysis of more than 50 million patient discharge records, published in the open access journal BMJ Open. Standardized protocol enables safer kidney biopsies in high-risk patients5:42 Results from a prospective study reveal that with standardized precautions, even high-risk patients may safely undergo a kidney biopsy, a cornerstone of kidney diagnostics that is often perceived as dangerous in certain vulnerable patient populations. Social determinants of health may increase kidney failure risk after critical illness5:42 New research indicates that certain individual- and neighborhood-level social determinants of health may increase the risk of developing post-discharge kidney failure in patients who developed acute kidney injury while in intensive care. Potassium binder helps dialysis patients manage dietary restrictions5:42 Dietary potassium restriction is important for managing hyperkalemia, or high blood potassium levels, in individuals on maintenance hemodialysis, but it imposes a substantial day-to-day burden. Fruits and vegetables may be a better option to improve kidney disease outcomes5:42 In people with chronic kidney disease (CKD), oral sodium bicarbonate is a standard treatment for metabolic acidosis (too much acid buildup in the body), but results from a recent clinical trial indicate that dietary acid reduction with base producing fruits and vegetables may be a better option. |
