Race, social determinants of health, and the quality of diabetic eye care

2024-09-12
About The Study: This study found that certain social determinants of health affected monitoring for diabetic retinopathy similarly for Black and white patients with diabetes while others affected them differently. Patients living in rural communities, Black patients with preexisting diabetic retinopathy, and Hispanic white patients were not receiving eye care in accordance with clinical practice guidelines, which may contribute to worse outcomes.  Corresponding Author: To contact the corresponding author, Dustin D. French, PhD, email dustin.french@northwestern.edu. To access the embargoed ...

Molecular, socioeconomic, and clinical factors affecting racial and ethnic disparities in colorectal cancer survival

2024-09-12
About The Study: This single-center cohort study identified substantial overall survival disparity and differing frequencies of driver gene variations by race and ethnicity. Socioeconomic status had the largest contribution but accounted for less than one-third of the disparity, with substantial contribution from tumor molecular features. Further study of the associations of genetic ancestry and the molecular pathogenesis of colorectal cancer with chemotherapy response is needed.  Corresponding ...

Catalyzing environmental cleanup: A highly active and selective molecular catalyst and electrified membrane

Catalyzing environmental cleanup: A highly active and selective molecular catalyst and electrified membrane
2024-09-12
Connecticut, U.S.A -- Some chemicals create environmental problems; others, fortunately, can help clean them up.   Chemists from Yale University and their colleagues have developed an electrochemical catalyst and membrane that offers an efficient and sustainable way to treat water contaminated with trichloroethylene (TCE), a common and persistent environmental pollutant. Their findings highlight the potential for advanced electrochemical treatments in environmental remediation and open the door for further innovations in the field.   Their results were published in Carbon Future ...

Dual-feedback healing mechanism redefining anti-oxidation coatings in fiber reinforced composites

Dual-feedback healing mechanism redefining anti-oxidation coatings in fiber reinforced composites
2024-09-12
Fiber-reinforced ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) have been the primary choice for radome materials in hypersonic vehicles due to their high toughness, strength, and other advantageous properties. However, oxidation by oxygen in the atmospheric environment at elevated temperatures remains a significant obstacle to their further development. Thermal protection coatings offer a crucial avenue to mitigate this issue. Nonetheless, inherent material differences or fiber orientations within CMCs can lead to disparate thermal expansion rates between the matrix and fibers during temperature variations, inevitably ...

Development strategies for using carbon-based catalysts in CO2 conversion

Development strategies for using carbon-based catalysts in CO2 conversion
2024-09-12
One of the primary drivers of climate change, CO2 emissions, have reached over 35 million tons worldwide. With global annual temperatures still rising, reducing CO2 emissions has become a necessity. To turn this necessity into an opportunity, researchers have been working to find ways to capture the CO2, thereby reducing emissions and then converting that CO2 into valuable chemicals and fuels.    One of the difficulties in working with CO2 is that it is very thermodynamically stable. To overcome this, additional ...

Breakthrough research extends hope for gastric cancer patients with peritoneal metasis

Breakthrough research extends hope for gastric cancer patients with peritoneal metasis
2024-09-12
Gastric cancer remains a formidable adversary, ranking as the fifth most common cancer and the third-leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, with over 1,000,000 new cases and close to 770,000 deaths each year. In Singapore, gastric cancer ranks among the top 10 causes of cancer-related deaths and claims about 300 lives each year.   The peritoneum, the lining of the abdominal cavity, is frequently involved in advanced-stage cancers, including gastric, colon, pancreatic, and ovarian cancers. For gastric cancer, the peritoneum ...

Genetic carriers for sickle cell disease have higher risks of blood clots across diverse ancestries

Genetic carriers for sickle cell disease have higher risks of blood clots across diverse ancestries
2024-09-12
National Institutes of Health (NIH) researchers and collaborators have found that being a carrier for sickle cell disease, known as having sickle cell trait, increases the risk of blood clots, a risk that is the same among diverse human populations that may not traditionally be associated with sickle cell disease. The study provides estimated clinical risks for people with sickle cell trait, which can inform clinical practice guidelines. Researchers examined the largest and most diverse set of people ...

Study finds unique pattern of blood clots in sickle cell trait, but low overall clot risk

2024-09-12
(WASHINGTON – September 12, 2024) The risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE), or blood clots, in individuals with sickle cell trait (SCT) is higher than in individuals without the trait. However, the risk is lower than for those with heterozygous factor V Leiden (FVL), according to a study published today in Blood Advances that analyzed genetic data from 23andMe research participants. More than 100 million people worldwide and approximately 7% of Black individuals in the United States have SCT. Unlike sickle cell disease, ...
