In the world of medical research, scientists have been looking for ways to tackle the devastating effects of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). This type of stroke can cause severe cognitive and neurological issues, and often has a high short-term mortality rate. Nimodipine (NDP) is a drug that has show
Did you know that universities rely heavily on federal grants to keep their research labs running? These grants have two main parts. One part directly covers the costs of conducting research, like salaries, equipment, and supplies. The other part, called indirect costs, covers everything else – from
Protein stability is a big deal in biology. Scientists need to know how proteins behave when heated, but traditional methods can be slow and expensive. Enter the new kid on the block: a microplate-based approach to intrinsic differential scanning fluorimetry (DSF). This method can test up to 384 sam
Chinese women have been facing an issue they call AUB-O. These women have 'normal' periods, except for the abnormal bleeding. They bleeding more than normal or at odd times. Tons of factors can change how a woman deals with this annoying issue. From all the experiences gathered, > you
Picture this: tomatoes are not just for salads anymore. These red gems are being transformed into a powerful weapon against cancer. Researchers face a tricky puzzle. Cancer treatments are evolving using tiny particles called small extracellular vesicles or sEVs from animals but it is a cess
Brain AVMs, which are tangled messes of arteries and veins, can cause serious brain bleeds even in young people. They are a significant reason for strokes in younger age groups. Managing these complicated messes, especially the high-grade ones, poses a tough challenge. Surgery to take these AVMs ou
In a major medical breakthrough, a 66-year-old man in Boston recently received a kidney transplant. This isn't just any kidney. It came from a pig! This was the fourth time a pig kidney was transplanted into a human in the U. S. And it's part of a new clinical trial approved by the Food and Drug Adm
Lymphoma is a type of cancer that affects the lymphocytes, a kind of white blood cell. Aggressive B-cell lymphomas are particularly challenging to treat. The usual way to see if treatment has worked is by using special scans like FDG-PET/CT. These scans show if there are any signs of cancer left. Bu
Metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) is a challenge for doctors. It is important to try to keep patients' quality of life while also extending their lives. Doctors also want to avoid harmful side effects. We have several treatments, but choosing the right one can be tricky, especially since differen
Deciding on medication during pregnancy is a tough call for doctors. Safe choices depend on accurate information; that is where doctors often face challenges. It involves tests to observe specific medications on pregnant mothers along with the babies inside them. The details uncovered from thes
