(Press-News.org) About The Study: The findings of this study suggest that the consequences of structural racism extend beyond inequities in health care to drive disparities in breast cancer outcome. Additional research is needed with more comprehensive social and environmental measures to better understand the influence of social determinants on aggressive estrogen receptor-positive tumor biology among racial and ethnic minoritized women from disadvantaged and historically marginalized communities.

Disparities in mentorship and implications for surgical resident education and wellness
2024-04-03
About The Study: In a survey study of residents of all accredited general surgery programs, one-third of trainees reported lack of meaningful mentorship, particularly non-white or Hispanic trainees. Although education and wellness are multifactorial issues, mentorship was associated with improvement; thus, efforts to facilitate mentorship are needed, especially for minoritized residents.

Intelligent liquid
2024-04-03
Researchers from the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have developed a programmable metafluid with tunable springiness, optical properties, viscosity and even the ability to transition between a Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluid.
The first-of-its-kind metafluid uses a suspension of small, elastomer spheres — between 50 to 500 microns — that buckle under pressure, radically changing the characteristics of the fluid. The metafluid could be used in everything ...
New Sylvester study targets major risk factor for gastric cancer
2024-04-03
MIAMI, FLORIDA (April 3, 2024) – What if we could eliminate a major risk factor for stomach cancer in Black, Asian, Latino and other vulnerable populations? A new study from Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine shows the feasibility of reaching out to high-risk communities with free, accessible testing and treatment for Helicobacter pylori bacterium infection – a major risk factor for gastric cancer.
Shria Kumar, M.D., a physician-scientist at Sylvester, sees patients with gastric cancer in her ...
New Jurassic fossil findings provide insights into the development of the middle ear in mammals

New Jurassic fossil findings provide insights into the development of the middle ear in mammals
An international team of palaeontologists has made a significant discovery in fossils that offer key information about the evolutionary shift from the jaw joint bones to those of the middle ear in early mammals.
The findings published today in the prestigious journal Nature provide a clearer insight into the evolution of hearing in mammaliaforms.
The fossils, from the Jurassic Period, are of two different ...
JAMA paper: In people with opioid use disorder, telemedicine treatment for HCV was more than twice as successful as off-site referral
2024-04-03
BUFFALO, N.Y. – People with opioid use disorder who have hepatitis C virus (HCV) were twice as likely to be successfully treated and cured from HCV if they received facilitated telemedicine treatment at their opioid treatment program (OTPs) than if they were referred off-site to another provider. Those are the findings published today by a University at Buffalo team of researchers in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA).
The study is one of only a few randomized controlled ...
Genetic analysis reveals true origin of chronic kidney disease in undiagnosed patients
2024-04-03
Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU) researchers discover that known genetic variants might account for a large portion of chronic kidney diseases of unclear origin
Tokyo, Japan – Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is extremely prevalent among adults, affecting over 800 million individuals worldwide. Many of these patients eventually require therapy to supplement or replace kidney functions, such as dialysis or kidney transplant. While most CKD cases originate from lifestyle-related factors or diseases such as diabetes and hypertension, the underlying ...
Jurassic shuotheriids reveal earliest dental diversification of mammaliaforms
2024-04-03
Palaeontologists have presented a new insight into the initial dental variations across mammaliaforms, providing a fresh perspective on the evolutionary past of these ancient beasts.
The discovery, involving a team of international researchers including Professor Patricia Vickers-Rich from the Monash University School of Earth, Atmosphere and Environment, is published today in the renowned journal Nature.
The research, conducted by a group of palaeontologists from prestigious institutions in New York, China and Australia, examines the tooth structure of the Jurassic ...
Novel high entropy alloy nanoparticle catalysts for growing high-density carbon nanotubes
2024-04-03
High entropy alloys (HEAs) have attracted significant attention in various fields due to their unique properties such as high strength and hardness, and high thermal and chemical stabilities. Unlike conventional alloys, which typically incorporate small quantities of one or two additional metals, HEAs constitute a solid solution of five or more metals in equal atomic ratio. This unique composition results in unique and complex surface structures that contain many different active sites suitable for catalytic reactions. As a result, in recent years, HEA nanoparticles (NPs) have been extensively studied for their catalytic potential.
However, despite their ...
COVID-19 vaccination as effective for adults with common mental disorders as for those without
2024-04-03
INDIANAPOLIS – A large multi-state electronic health record-based study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC’s) VISION Network has found that COVID-19 vaccines are as effective for adults with anxiety or depression or mood disorders as for individuals without these common diagnoses. This is one of the first studies to evaluate COVID-19 mRNA vaccine effectiveness for those living with mental illness.
While vaccination provided similar protection regardless of psychiatric diagnosis (none, one or multiple ...
Columbia University begins construction on New York City’s first all-electric biomedical research building
2024-04-03
NEW YORK, NY (April 3, 2024) – Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons (VP&S) will begin construction on New York City’s first all-electric university research building in May. The new biomedical research building in Washington Heights is designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox (KPF) and will house eight stories of laboratories and research facilities, collaboration corners, living walls, and community engagement spaces.
The new biomedical research building will become the center of Columbia’s efforts to gain new understanding of diseases and develop next-generation ...
