by NYU Langone Health Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain The combination of an experimental mRNA vaccine with an immunotherapy reduced the likelihood of melanoma recurring or causing death by 44% when compared to immunotherapy alone, a new clinical trial shows. Led by researchers at NYU Langone Health and its Perlmutter Cancer Center, the randomized phase 2b trial involved men...
by European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases Credit: CC0 Public Domain Metagenomic sequencing can provide rapid and actionable antimicrobial resistance predictions to treat bloodstream infections much faster than conventional laboratory tests, and has the potential to save lives and better manage the use of antibiotics, according to new research being presented at this year’s European...

Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) across time points versus VRFC (0–24 h (TP1), 24–48 h (TP2), and >48 h (TP3)) in monocytes (A), neutrophils (B), and whole blood (C). Venn diagrams of the numbers of DEGs at each time point are shown on the left, and on...

by Enrique Rivero, University of California, Los Angeles Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain New UCLA research suggests that a novel machine-learning technique known as “causal forest” was about five times more efficient than the current clinical practice of treating patients with high blood pressure. Under current practice, physicians treat patients with high blood pressure under the assumption that people at...

by European Society of Cardiology Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain A region-wide study in more than 50,000 patients with atrial fibrillation has found reduced risks of stroke and transient ischemic attack in those who started statins within a year of diagnosis compared with those who did not. The findings are presented at EHRA 2023, a scientific congress of...
