Cardiovascular Medicine: Opportunities for Learning at Yale

Annual Interventional Cardiology Symposium Friday, November 17, 2023, 7:00 AM – 5:00 PM located at 193 Whitney Avenue, New Haven, Connecticut. The Interventional Cardiology Symposium is a one-day educational event highlighting Yale’s Flagship Interventional Cardiology programs. There will be a focus on complex coronary interventions, peripheral vascular disease and structural heart disease. The symposium aims […]

Post-Acute Infection Syndromes Will Be the Focus of New YSM Center

Yale School of Medicine (YSM) officially launched its new Center for Infection & Immunity (CII), established within the Department of Immunobiology, on August 18. The COVID-19 pandemic and the prevalence of Long COVID have shed light on the urgent need to study post-acute infection syndromes. The mission of the new center will be to provide […]

Rheum Patients on HCQ: Stick With It or Face Heart Consequences

High levels of adherence to prescribed antimalarial drugs for lupus and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) was associated with markedly lower cardiovascular event rates in one Canadian province, researchers found. Rates for a composite of myocardial infarction, stroke, and venous thromboembolism was nearly 30% lower among patients with RA or systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) whose filled prescriptions […]

Nasopharyngeal Cancer Clinical Trial Pipeline Experiences Momentum: DelveInsight Estimates a Diverse Pipeline Comprising 28+ Companies Working in the Domain

The prevalence of Nasopharyngeal Cancer is increasing globally due to environmental, pathogen-mediated, and genetic factors as well as lifestyle factors, which is projected to expand the scope of the Nasopharyngeal Cancer market. Furthermore, the rising demand for effective treatment options and the increasing investments by the government and private sector to improve healthcare infrastructure are […]

Heart Risks Much Higher for Patients With Rare Sleep Disorder

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Individuals with idiopathic hypersomnia may face a greater likelihood of heart-related events, a retrospective cohort study suggested. Compared with matched controls without the rare sleep disorder, patients diagnosed with idiopathic hypersomnia had a twofold higher odds of having a history of cardiovascular disease (OR 2.26, 95% CI 2.14-2.38) or of experiencing a […]

Mutation rates and fitness consequences of mosaic chromosomal alterations in blood

Abstract Mosaic chromosomal alterations (mCAs) are common in cancers and can arise decades before diagnosis. A quantitative understanding of the rate at which these events occur, and their functional consequences, could improve cancer risk prediction and our understanding of somatic evolution. Using mCA clone size estimates from the blood of approximately 500,000 UK Biobank participants, […]

Quantifying fitness effects and mutation rates of mCAs in blood

An analytical method informed by clinical imaging data for estimating outlet boundary conditions in computational fluid dynamics analysis of carotid artery blood flow

Abstract Stroke occur mainly due to arterial thrombosis and rupture of cerebral blood vessels. Previous studies showed that blood flow-induced wall shear stress is an essential bio marker for estimating atherogenesis. It is a common practice to use computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations to calculate wall shear stress and to quantify blood flow. Reliability of […]

Civil Air Patrol Operation Pulse Lift supports Armed Services Blood Program Cadet Summer Training Blood Drives

The Armed Services Blood Program has worked with U.S. Army Cadet Command for over a decade, connecting lifesaving and selfless service. The ASBP blood drives held during Cadet Summer Training in Fort Knox, Kentucky, are always a success because of command support. The events of 2023 were no different, with the summer having another round of […]
