Cancer is not just a physical battle. It also takes a toll on the mind and spirit. Many people with cancer find comfort in spirituality. But how can healthcare workers best support this need? A recent study looked at different ways to help cancer patients explore their spirituality. The study found
Researchers have found that certain gene patterns can show how severe an infection might be. These patterns can also hint at the chances of dying from any cause. This is big news because it means we might be able to change some risks by adjusting our lifestyle or getting treatment. The study looked
Researchers wanted to see which surgery works better for kids born with a rare eye condition called aniridia that often leads to glaucoma. They looked at two common surgeries: trabeculectomy and glaucoma drainage device (GDD) implantation. First, they gathered data from many studies. They found tha
Cancer is a tricky foe, always finding ways to dodge treatments. One type, Ewing sarcoma, often affects young people. It's caused by a gene fusion called EWS::FLI1. This fusion acts like a commander, driving cancer cells to multiply uncontrollably. Scientists made a surprising find. EWS::FLI1 disru
Cancer is tricky. It hides and grows, making it hard to treat. But what if we could send tiny, smart helpers to find and fight cancer cells? That's the idea behind a new type of nanoparticle. These aren't just any nanoparticles. They're designed to stay calm and inactive while traveling through the
Cancer is a sneaky foe, but scientists are fighting back with clever tools. One such tool is a special kind of antibody designed to target multiple myeloma, a type of blood cancer. These antibodies are like smart missiles, programmed to seek out and attack cancer cells. Here's how they work: The an
Researchers recently took a closer look at how Tai Chi affects people dealing with psychosis. They wanted to see if this mind-body practice could help with symptoms, thinking skills, and overall well-being. Tai Chi is known for helping with stress and anxiety, but its role in serious mental illnesse
Researchers have found that the time of day can make a big difference in how badly noise hurts your hearing. They looked at cells in the inner ear and found that immune cells called macrophages play a big role in this. When the ear is exposed to loud noises, these macrophages get more active, espec
Cancer treatment is expensive. Radiation therapy is a common treatment, but not everyone pays the same price. This is a big problem. Why does this happen? One reason is location. Where you live affects how much you pay. In some areas, radiation therapy costs more than in others. This is unfair, but
Researchers have been digging into the lives of 19th-century migrants to South Australia. They used a special way of looking at things called a Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS) framework. This helps them see how different factors connect and affect each other. It's like putting together a puzzle with
