Long COVID Study Suggests Immune System Response At Root Of Symptoms
LOADINGERROR LOADING Scientists may be on the path to understanding long COVID after identifying a change in blood proteins found in people with extended symptoms from the virus. A study published by the journal, Science, on Thursday found that patients experiencing long COVID symptoms had proteins that indicated part of their immune systems remained active […]
Tool Predicts PsA Progression From Psoriasis, No Fancy Biomarkers Needed
A risk-prediction algorithm was modestly accurate for identifying patients with psoriasis who are likely to progress to psoriatic arthritis (PsA), researchers reported. Based on patients’ demographics and clinical presentations routinely assessed during office visits, the model was about 72% effective in predicting 1-year risk of progression, and 75% effective (using slightly different input data) for […]
Scientists chart how exercise affects the body: A new study maps the genes and cellular pathways that contribute to exercise-induced weight loss
Exercise is well-known to help people lose weight and avoid gaining it. However, identifying the cellular mechanisms that underlie this process has proven difficult because so many cells and tissues are involved. In a new study in mice that expands researchers’ understanding of how exercise and diet affect the body, MIT and Harvard Medical School […]
Researchers identify biomarker panel that could help predict gestational diabetes in early pregnancy
UCLA researchers have taken the initial step in identifying what may be an effective way to detect gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) earlier in pregnancy, potentially improving diagnosis and treatment for what is the most common disorder of pregnancy. The study is published in the peer-reviewed journal PLOS ONE. Gestational diabetes causes blood sugar levels to […]
Diagnosing sports-related concussions may be harder than thought: Study raises questions about common concussion assessment tool
The tool being used to diagnose concussions might be overestimating the condition and wrongly identifying symptoms like fatigue and neck pain caused from intense exercise and not a brain injury, according to Rutgers researchers. This new research raises new questions about the Sport Concussion Assessment Tool (SCAT), a questionnaire widely used along with other methods […]
Climate drove 7,000 years of dietary changes in the Central Andes: Only under the Inca Empire did sociopolitical factors dampen local climate’s influence on diet
What a person eats influences a person’s health, longevity and experience in the world. Identifying the factors that determine people’s diets is important to answer the bigger questions, such as how changing climates will influence unequal access to preferred foods. A new study led by University of Utah anthropologists provides a blueprint to systematically untangle […]
