Drug Combo Taking on Triple-Negative Breast Cancer

In the hunt for novel treatments against an aggressive form of breast cancer, researchers combined a new protein inhibitor with a chemotherapy drug to create a powerful combination that resulted in cancer cell death.

Non-Invasive Imaging Predicts Cancer Malignancy

A new study by Osaka University scientists shows that non-labeling multiphoton microscopy (NL-MPM) can be used for quantitative imaging of cancer that is safe and requires no resection, fixation or staining of tissues. The report is expected to simplify and reduce the time of cancer diagnosis, and can be read in Scientific Reports. To diagnose [...]

Cancer Relapse Linked to Body’s Own Immune System

Cancer cells that survive after treatment may use the body’s own immune system to wake themselves up and fuel their growth, a new study shows. The research sheds new light on how the immune system loses its ability to keep cancer in check, leading to the patient relapsing. And the researchers found that immunotherapy could [...]

New Concern Over Undetected ​Vision Problems in Younger Kids

Farsighted younger kids have a harder time paying attention and that could put them at risk of slipping behind in school, a new study suggests. An estimated four to 14 per cent of preschoolers have moderate farsightedness, or hyperopia, but it often goes undetected in younger children. When moderate farsightedness is found, glasses aren’t always [...]

Novel Software Can Recognise Eye Contact in Everyday Situations

New software detects using only a single camera whether one or even several people establish eye contact with a target object. ‘Until now, if you were to hang an advertising poster in the pedestrian zone, and wanted to know how many people actually looked at it, you would not have had a chance,’ explained Andreas [...]

New Promise for Treating and Preventing Perimenopausal Depression

A new study suggests that transdermal estradiol could be the key to not only treating existing perimenopausal depression, but also possibly preventing it, and the chances that it will benefit your mood are greater the more stress you’re under. The study results are being presented during the North American Menopause Society (NAMS) Annual Meeting in [...]

Trial Aims to Reduce Complications Caused by Delivery of Bigger Babies

A nationwide study of 4,000 pregnant women is to determine if delivering bigger babies earlier will prevent serious complications during labour and beyond. The clinical trial, led by a partnership between University of Warwick, University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire (UHCW) NHS Trust, and the Perinatal Institute, will help decide if inducing an earlier birth is [...]

New Womb Findings Could Provide Clues to Miscarriage

Identifying the precise time when the four chambers of the heart develop opens up the possibility that doctors could eventually be able to monitor babies during this critical phase of their development. The lead investigator – Dr Eleftheria Pervolaraki, from the University of Leeds – hopes that the findings will mean that doctors would be [...]

Telephone Consultations May Not Reduce GP Workload

Telephone consultations to determine whether a patient needs to see their GP face-to-face can deal with many problems, but a study led by researchers at the Cambridge Centre for Health Services Research (University of Cambridge and RAND Europe), found no evidence to support claims by companies offering to manage these services or by NHS England [...]

Chronic Migraine Cases are Amplified by Jawbone Disorder

In a study, researchers at the University of São Paulo’s Ribeirão Preto School of Medicine (FMRP-USP), in Brazil, finds that the more frequent the migraine attacks, the more severe will be the so-called temporomandibular disorder (TMD). The temporomandibular joint acts like a sliding hinge connecting the jawbone to the skull, therefore the disorder’s symptoms includes [...]
