Researchers at Northwestern University have developed a sensor that can monitor transplanted organs for signs of rejection. Patients who receive transplants require immunosuppressive medication to ensure that their body does not reject the transplanted tissue, but this can still happen, sometimes years after the initial transplant. Current methods to monitor for immune rejection involve taking biopsies or monitoring blood markers, but these techniques are invasive and blood markers may not show

Dani gave this talk at the Irish Association of Emergency Medicine Annual Scientific Conference in October 2023 Once upon a time, there were two beautiful people, Barbie and Ken. Through the play and make-believe of many children, they enjoyed a romance spanning many decades.

Scientists at Purdue University have developed a microRNA therapy designed to slow tumor growth. The technology takes advantage of the tendency of several cancer types to express an excess of surface receptors that bind folate (vitamin B9) and draw it into the cell interior. By attaching the microRNA strand to a folate molecule, the researchers could target it to cancer cells.

Researchers at the University of Cincinnati have developed a lateral flow assay that can detect bacterial toxins from Porphyromonas gingivalis , the causative bacteria for gingivitis. The technology could make it easier and faster to identify early-stage gingivitis, which can lead to periodontitis and eventual tooth loss, as well as contributing to a variety of other diseases such as stroke and heart disease.

The Curious Clinicians

OCTOBER 19, 2023

Why can a ketogenic diet help control seizures in epilepsy? Many forms of dietary therapy make intuitive sense. 18th-century sailors with scurvy were treated with lime juice and other sources of the missing vitamin C. Patients with diabetes mellitus are counseled to avoid foods with a high glycemic index. And those with chylothoraces, where a chylous (fatty fluid) leak into the pleural space causes an effusion, are told to consume low-fat diets to reduce chyle flow and help prevent fluid from re

Researchers at the University of Bath in the United Kingdom have developed a shape-shifting ball that can inflate and deflate in response to someone’s breath. The idea is an advancement of many techniques designed to help people de-stress and manage their mental health, which all focus on awareness of the breath. For instance, mindfulness meditation often requires people to focus on their own breath, which can help to reduce anxiety and stress, but maintaining this focus is difficult.
