In a surprising discovery, researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) identified a mechanism that protects the brain from the effects of hypoxia, a potentially lethal deprivation of oxygen. This serendipitous finding, which they report in Nature Communications, could aid in the development of therapies for strokes, as well as brain injury that can result from ca...
The findings are published online in the Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics.

Birth before 32 weeks of gestation is classed as very preterm (VP) and those born weighing less than 1500g are classed as very low birthweight (VLBW). Research has previously found that those who were born VP or VLBW had lower cognitive performance in childhood. In the paper, 'Association of Very Preterm Birth or Very Low Birth Weight with Intelligence in Adulthood: An...

In a Perspectives piece published in Science on May 14, 2021, they call for a “paradigm shift” in combating airborne pathogens such as SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, demanding universal recognition that respiratory infections can be prevented by improving indoor ventilation systems. “Air can contain viruses just as water and surfaces do,” said co-author She...
West Virginia University researcher Jennifer Mallow is trying to answer these questions. In a new project, she and her colleagues completed a systematic review of studies that dealt with telehealth and chronic conditions. They found that – in general – telehealth services benefitted patients more if they continued for about a year, rather than ending after six months o...
Scientists at Sanford Burnham Prebys have identified a set of human genes that fight SARS-CoV-2 infection, the virus that causes COVID-19. Knowing which genes help control viral infection can greatly assist researchers’ understanding of factors that affect disease severity and also suggest possible therapeutic options. The genes in question are related to interferons, th...
The nose is a common site for skin cancer, and in many such patients, removal of the cancerous lesions will result in cartilage defects. At present, surgeons will remove cartilage from a rib and implant it in the nose in an attempt to correct such defects, but this approach has significant drawbacks. “When the surgeons restructure the nose, it is straight. But when it a...
