Researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Adams School of Dentistry have launched a clinical trial to test whether mouthwash can reduce a person’s risk of spreading coronavirus. Laboratory experiments have shown mouthwash can quickly kill coronaviruses, but there’s no evidence mouthwash can prevent the virus from infecting people. The Adams School […]
Use of a cosmetic laser invented at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) may improve the effectiveness of certain anti-tumor therapies and extend their use to more diverse forms of cancer. The strategy was tested and validated in mice, as described in a study published in Science Translational Medicine. Immune checkpoint inhibitors are important medications that boost […]
Researchers have created a mathematical model that can determine the impact of the immune system on tumor evolution. The information gained from using this model may be able to be used to predict whether immunotherapy is likely to be effective for a patient’s cancer, helping to guide treatment decisions. Immune cells recognize tumors by detecting […]
People living with mental health disorders who benefit from medication may try several types before finding a solution that helps manage their symptoms. But what if a simple blood test could help doctors understand what medication might work best for patients at the start of their treatment? That’s an idea gaining traction and the focus […]
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a common medical condition in which blood clots develop in the deep veins of the body, often in the legs, thigh or pelvis. These clots can break loose and travel to the lungs and can cause a life-threatening pulmonary embolism (PE). Proximal DVT, which refers to a clot in the […]
Personalized medicine—delivering therapies specially tailored to a patient’s unique physiology—has been a goal of researchers and doctors for a long time. New research provides a way of delivering personalized treatments to patients with neurological disease. Researchers at the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital (The Neuro) of McGill University and the Ludmer Centre for Neuroinformatics and […]
