Blood donations urgently needed for hospital patients in wake of back-to-back climate disasters and critical summer shortfall The American Red Cross national blood supply has fallen to critically low levels—dropping nearly 25%– since early August, and potentially threatening the medical care of patients with an emergency need for blood, or those living with critical conditions […]
It can take years for people living with chronic fatigue syndrome to receive a formal diagnosis, and they are a favored few. Experts suggest up to 91 percent of people in the US remain undiagnosed, living without medical support for a condition that robs them of energy, brain-power, and a care-free life. But those statistics […]

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 […]

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 […]
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, […]
