There's a new player in the fight against some of the most aggressive forms of uterine cancer. Uterine serous carcinoma and carcinosarcoma are known for being tough to treat and having poor survival rates. These cancers are types of endometrial cancer, which starts in the lining of the uterus. Docto
Gene therapy is making huge strides in tackling genetic neuromuscular diseases. These diseases, which include conditions like spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) and Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), are caused by faulty genes. Recently, a type of virus called adeno-associated virus (AAV) has been used t
Imagine tiny, powerful helpers from the sea, fighting inflammation and boosting energy in your joints. These are not superheroes, but microalgae-derived extracellular vesicles (SP-EVs) from Spirulina platensis. These little guys are packed with antioxidants and energy-boosting compounds, making them
Systemic sclerosis, or SSc, is a tricky condition. It's a rheumatologic disorder that affects multiple systems in the body. It's like a three-headed monster: immune dysregulation, vascular dysfunction, and multi-organ fibrosis. It's not just one thing going wrong, it's a whole bunch of things. Imag
Heavy metals like copper and lead are big troublemakers in wastewater. They can cause serious health issues and environmental damage. So, scientists are always looking for better ways to remove these nasty pollutants. One promising method is called capacitive deionization (CDI). This process uses sp
Chronic migraines are a real pain, literally. They can last for weeks or even months. People who suffer from them often try different treatments to find relief. One study looked at combining two treatments: atogepant and onabotulinumtoxinA. The goal was to see if this combo could help control chroni
Lung cancer is a tricky disease, and one type, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), can be even trickier. Why? Because it can have different mutations, and these mutations can affect how well treatments work. Two of these mutations are called KRAS G12C and KRAS G12D. They are not the same and can beh
Migraines are a big deal, affecting around 14. 4% of people worldwide. This means nearly one in seven individuals is dealing with this painful condition. The goal was to understand who gets migraines and how it impacts their healthcare needs. First, let's talk about the numbers. Migraines are more
Alzheimer's disease is a tough opponent, but scientists are finding new ways to fight it. Gold nanoparticles, tiny particles made of gold, are proving to be a powerful tool in the battle against this neurodegenerative disease. These nanoparticles can be loaded with afzelin, a natural compound found
People with rheumatic diseases often take rituximab, a medicine that can make them more likely to catch COVID-19. Doctors wanted to see if a new treatment, tixagevimab-cilgavimab, could help. This combo was tested on patients already taking rituximab. The goal was to find out if it could stop COVID-
