Study reveals how cancer immunotherapy may cause heart inflammation in some patients By Leah Eisenstadt November 6, 2024 Breadcrumb Home Study reveals how cancer immunotherapy may cause heart inflammation in some patients Myocarditis is driven by a different immune response than the anti-tumor one, suggesting that the serious complication could one day be managed without halting cancer therapy.
Hydrogen, a promising fuel, has extensive applications in many sectors. However, its safe and widespread use necessitates reliable sensing methods. While tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS) has proved to be an effective gas sensing method, detecting hydrogen using TDLAS is difficult due to its weak light absorption property in the infrared region.
Thomas M. Geiger, Radosław P.

Current irreversible LSD1 inhibitors are all synthesized by covalently binding to the flavin adenine dinucleotide cofactor, which often have side effects due to the high affinity for a var
Elevidys sales have increased since the FDA made a controversial choice to expand the therapy's use. Now, Sarepta is abandoning a successor to its drug Exondys 51, citing an “evolving" treatment landscape.
TUESDAY, Nov. 5, 2024 -- The omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids in fish oil supplements might help protect people from cancer, a new study claims.Study participants with higher levels of omega-3s had lower rates of colon, stomach, lung and other.
When people have an audience watching them, it can change their performance for better or worse. Now, researchers have found that chimpanzees' performance on computer tasks is influenced by the number of people watching them. The findings suggest that this 'audience effect' predates the development of reputation-based human societies, the researchers say.
Clinical trial data management is increasingly challenging as studies grow in complexity. Quickly accessing and analyzing study data is vital for assessing trial progress and patient safety. In this paper, we explore real-time data access and analysis for proactive study management. We investigate using adverse event (AE) data to monitor safety and discuss a clinical analytics platform that supports collaboration and data review workflows.
