This finding underscores the need to reduce plastic usage, especially with hot foods, to minimize health risks. 2. A New Drug to Reduce Heart Attacks and Strokes The newly approved drug Sotagliflozin (Inpefa) has shown promise in reducing heart attacks and strokes among patients with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease. ...
Clinical trials are the backbone of modern medicine, responsible for bringing innovative, safe, and efficient treatments to market after rigorous testing and evaluation. However, the conventional process of conducting these trials has often been long, expensive, and fraught with inefficiencies¹. The advent of predictive analytics is reshaping the landscape of clinical trials, ushering in a ...
Discover how matched tumor-normal sequencing can help clinical researchers detect the somatic origin of variants with certainty. In the era of precision oncology, it has become increasingly common for patients diagnosed with cancer to undergo tumor sequencing. Identifying the mutations that make up a tumor’s genomic landscape can help guide selection of targeted therapies and inform ...
MMPs are involved in pathological processes such as hypertension, eclampsia, vascular inflammation, atherosclerosis, coronary syndromes and myocardial infarction, cerebral ischemia and ischemic stroke, peripheral arterial disease, aneurysms, chronic venous disease, etc. MMPs can be used as biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets for certain vascular ...
Introducing ozone to water effectively neutralizes harmful microorganisms, minimizing the need for chemical interventions and reducing the risk of disease outbreaks.. 3. Algae Management: Algae blooms can wreak havoc on aquatic ecosystems, leading to oxygen depletion and unsightly appearances. ...
Its domestic approval is based primarily on DESTINY Breast03, which has shown that trastuzumab (T-DXd), in contrast to Ado-trastuzumab Emtansine (T-DM1), is effective in treating HER2-positive unresectable and/or metastatic breast cancer in patients previously treated with trastuzumab and taxane. Reduced the risk of disease progression or death by 72% (hazard ...
GLP-1 agonists and SGLT-2 inhibitors in combination with or without metformin (as required for glycemic management) have also been recommended by multiple guidelines as appropriate initial treatment for type 2 diabetes patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) or those at high risk for ASCVD, heart failure and/or chronic kidney ...
However, short- and long- term side effects are possible with this reconstructive procedure, including pain when kneeling, reduced strength in the hamstring or quad muscles and a possible risk of disease transmission when donor tissue is used. Unlike many other ligaments in the body, the ACL does not have the natural ability to heal on its own. ...
Replacing the torn ligament through ACL reconstruction is the most common treatment for this injury but can sometimes result in side effects such as pain when kneeling, reduced strength in the hamstring or quad muscles, and the risk of disease transmission when donor tissue is used. There is also an increased concern of developing long-term arthritis. ...
Owens notes that the harvesting of a healthy tendon can sometimes result in kneeling pain or reduced strength in the hamstring or quad muscles, to name some of the possible side effects. There is also a risk of disease transmission when using donor tissue. “Surgeons have always been interested in healing the ACL, but the technology to do so did not ...
The ClarityDX Prostate® test uses a proprietary machine-learning algorithm that combines data from biological and clinical biomarkers to generate a risk score for clinically significant prostate cancer, defined as Gleason grade group 2 or higher, on prostate biopsy. ...
This September marks four years since the 2018 Food and Drug Administration clearance for clonoSEQ to detect and monitor minimal residual disease (MRD) in bone marrow from patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and multiple myeloma (MM). ...
EDMONTON, AB, June 30, 2022 /CNW/ - Nanostics Inc., a precision health diagnostics company, today announces positive data from a pre-biopsy clinical validation study of its ClarityDX Prostate® test designed to improve the accuracy of detecting clinically significant prostate cancer in men that are at risk of the disease. The ClarityDX Prostate® test uses ...
Nanostics’ ClarityDX Bladder test uses extracellular vesicle detection technology and machine-learning model analysis to identify the most potent disease predictors for the early detection of bladder cancer. “Strategic investments in digital health are enabling Alberta to become more globally competitive towards increasing health and economic benefits for our ...
Recent Study Concludes that Periodontitis was Associated with Tongue Cancer In a recent study, the gum disease periodontitis was associated with an increased risk of developing tongue cancer. ...
Even moderate gum disease contributed an increased risk of cancer, including blood, kidney and lung cancers in smokers as well as non-smokers. Risk of Kidney Cancer, Leukemia and Lung Cancer Increase with Gum Disease An American and British research team at Harvard University and the Imperial College in London examined the ...
SNP Array in Clinical Diagnosis Accurate identification and definition of genome aberrations can influence classifications of disease, patient risk stratification and clinical management options for a variety of genetic diseases, such as tumors. ...
Below, we break down how sugar impacts the brain, including its effect on cognitive function, mood, and disease risk. ...
By now, you are likely aware of many of the well-established risks associated with smoking cigarettes, such as cancer, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and stroke. ...
Genetics (i.e., mutations) are considered to be the main factor predisposing to the etiology of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), but they account for only a few changes in RA disease risk, and in contrast to genetics, the environment may have an important impact on epigenetic properties associated with disease etiology. ...
