A reconfigurable “body-on-a-chip” model could transform drug development by simultaneously measuring compound efficacy and toxicity, for both target cells and other organs, such as the heart and liver. These findings, published in Science Translational Medicine, demonstrate the ability of a body-on-a-chip model to truly revolutionize biomedical research and personalized medicine through more accurate and efficient preclinical testing without the use of animal studies. from https://medicalxpress.com/news/2019-06-human-on-a-chip-cancer-drug-efficacy-toxicity.html from From https://johnher1.blogspot.com/2019/06/human-on-chip-model-tests-cancer-drug.html from https://johnher1.wordpress.com/2019/06/20/human-on-a-chip-model-tests-cancer-drug-efficacy-and-toxicity-for-therapeutic-index/ from https://helentyler1.blogspot.com/2019/06/human-on-chip-model-tests-cancer-drug.html

Researchers have devised a novel method to glean training information for machine-learning models, including those that can analyze medical images to help diagnose and treat brain conditions. from https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/06/190619134834.htm from From https://johnher1.blogspot.com/2019/06/from-one-brain-scan-more-information.html from https://johnher1.wordpress.com/2019/06/20/from-one-brain-scan-more-information-for-medical-artificial-intelligence/ from https://helentyler1.blogspot.com/2019/06/from-one-brain-scan-more-information.html Scientists at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center have identified an expression pattern of 14 genes at the time of diagnosis that predicts two year, transplant-free survival in children with biliary atresia – the most common diagnosis leading to liver transplants in children. from From https://johnher1.blogspot.com/2019/06/researchers-identify-genes-linked-with.html from https://johnher1.wordpress.com/2019/06/20/researchers-identify-genes-linked-with-survival-in-children-with-biliary-atresia/ from https://helentyler1.blogspot.com/2019/06/researchers-identify-genes-linked-with.html Memories are stronger when the original experiences are accompanied by unpleasant odors, a team of researchers has found.

This means the simple, sensible lifestyle choices: stay fit, stay lean, don’t smoke, and so on. If you don’t do this, then you’ll have a shorter and less pleasant life. You’ll spend much more on medical expenses. It is worth the effort to evade those outcomes. But don’t believe that you are going to beat the odds on longevity in any exceptional way just because you took good care of your health. You’ll likely beat the odds in a minor way, but two thirds to three quarters of the healthiest people in the world die before reaching age 90. That fraction only increases for everyone else, as today’s open access paper well illustrates.

In fact, the requirement had only a limited chance for success as nearly 97% of Arkansas residents ages 30-49 who were eligible for Medicaid — those subject to the mandate — were already employed or should have been exempt from the new law, according to the study published Wednesday in the New England Journal of Medicine. Yet the state’s mandate — the first of its kind in the nation — resulted in 18,000 of the 100,000 targeted people falling off the Medicaid rolls. And despite administration officials’ statements that many of them may from https://khn.org/news/study-arkansas-medicaid-work-requirements-hit-those-already-employed/ from From https://johnher1.blogspot.com/2019/06/study-arkansas-medicaid-work.html from https://johnher1.wordpress.com/2019/06/20/study-arkansas-medicaid-work-requirement-hits-those-already-employed/ from https://helentyler1.blogspot.com/2019/06/study-arkansas-medicaid-work.html |
