Summary: Researchers have developed a two-step workflow using a new blood-based p-tau217 biomarker to improve the accuracy of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) diagnosis. The first step uses a diagnostic model that combines plasma p-tau217 with age and the APOE e4 gene to identify high-risk patients. The second step involves confirmatory testing only for those with uncertain […]

All patients underwent both CTA and ICA before TAVR, but the authors blinded themselves to ICA results to focus on the effectiveness of CTA. CTA coronary reconstruction was used to assess each patient’s left main coronary artery, proximal left anterior descending coronary artery, proximal left circumflex coronary artery, and proximal right coronary artery. At that […]

Vitamin C and other antioxidants stimulate the formation of new blood vessels in lung cancer tumors, a new study from Karolinska Institutet published in The Journal of Clinical Investigation shows. The discovery corroborates the idea that dietary supplements containing antioxidants can accelerate tumor growth and metastasis. We’ve found that antioxidants activate a mechanism that causes […]
The problem with the plan was fratricide, among other wanton cellular murders. Saar Gill and Carl June, cell therapy researchers at the University of Pennsylvania, wanted to make a single treatment that could tackle virtually all blood cancers. It was an audacious goal. advertisement Most cell therapies, such as CAR-T, involve removing a patients’ T […]
MELBOURNE, Australia — A blood cancer drug could potentially be the key to curing HIV. Australian researchers found that the cancer drug venetoclax can not only attack hibernating HIV cells but also delay the virus’s resurgence. Currently, the “silent” HIV cells, medically referred to as latent infection, are the reason HIV remains in a patient’s […]
