Scientists use inactive virus to safe-deliver spasticity-reversing spinal genes12:34 Muscle spasticity is a common and often debilitating consequence of spinal cord injury that can significantly affect mobility and quality of life. Spasticity is a condition in which muscles become abnormally stiff or tight because of disrupted nerve signaling, often causing exaggerated reflexes, involuntary muscle spasms and difficulty with movement. Type 2 diabetes elevates periodontitis risks regardless of glycemic control12:02 Persons with diabetes have an increased risk of periodontitis (gum disease) and tooth loss. The risk of inflammation and bone loss at dental implants was also higher. These are the findings of a thesis at the University of Gothenburg. Moderate alcohol consumption linked to premature death and chronic illness12:01 Even what many Americans consider moderate drinking is linked to an increased risk of death, disability, and chronic diseases such as cancer and heart disease, according to a new study published in the Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs. New non-invasive tool lowers cancer DNA tracking threshold to 5%12:01 Blood tests have proved to be a promising tool for detecting and monitoring cancer. Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology and the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, have now developed a new method that makes it possible to analyze samples containing as little as 5 per cent cancer DNA in the blood, compared with the 15–20 per cent required today. This method could lead to better cancer care and improved monitoring of tumor progression. Cellular map of healthy pancreas reveals origins of deadly tumors10:57 Scientists at the Free University of Brussels (VUB) have taken a major step forward in pancreatic cancer research. By mapping a healthy pancreas in detail down to the cellular level, they discovered that specific, rare cells in the healthy organ already bear strong similarities to the most aggressive tumor cells. Traveling for cosmetic surgery may carry hidden infection risks10:57 A CDC review highlights serious infection risks linked to cosmetic surgery tourism, emphasizing the need for improved safety and infection control measures. Pharmacist prescribing could unlock $1 billion in savings; free 10 million GP visits and prevent 30,000 hospitalizations annual10:57 New national modelling identifies pharmacist prescribing as a practical, scalable reform to improve access to care at a time when GP workforce shortages are projected to worsen. The best meal timing for blood sugar may be earlier dinners10:57 A randomized study of adults with obesity suggests that when you eat may matter as much as what you eat. Fathers shape childhood obesity risk long before birth10:25 New research highlights fathers' influence on childhood obesity risk through sperm changes, lifestyle, and parenting, urging inclusive prevention strategies. Protein repair defects linked to hidden heart failure7:44 Researchers in the del Monte Lab at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) are the first to observe defects in the protein repair system associated with the peculiar, misfolded protein plaques previously observed in patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (IDCM ). |
