As of 2021, 8.3% of adults had major depressive disorder (MDD) and 19.1% had anxiety disorders (AD), and the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated these statistics. https://medicalxpress.com/news/2025-02-automated-voice-analysis-multiple-mental.html Tue, 04 Feb 2025 11:00:05 EST news657796081 Russian scientists have proposed a new promising rapid way to diagnose breast cancer. It will spot the disease based on a blood test that takes between 15 and 20 minutes. The solution can be adapted to spot other diseases, too. Once that is accomplished, it could even enable simultaneous screening for multiple diseases. https://medicalxpress.com/news/2024-01-combination-photonic-sensors-microfluidics-cancer.html Wed, 31 Jan 2024 11:04:04 EST news625921441 A new formulation developed by University of South Australia scientists to treat antimicrobial-resistant bacterial infections in diabetic foot ulcers could also be used to kill the COVID-19 virus circulating in air conditioning systems. https://medicalxpress.com/news/2021-11-cold-plasma-ionised-gas-treatment.html Thu, 11 Nov 2021 09:58:15 EST news555847093 Singing may be the next-generation, noninvasive approach to determining the health of a patient's thyroid. https://medicalxpress.com/news/2021-01-stiffness-tissue-patient-thyroid-presence.html Tue, 12 Jan 2021 11:00:02 EST news529655734 For the past 70 years, the best indicator of life expectancy for a patient with glioblastoma (GBM)—the most common and the most aggressive brain cancer—has simply been age at diagnosis. Now, an international team of scientists has experimentally validated a predictor that is not only more accurate but also more clinically relevant: a pattern of co-occurring changes in DNA abundance levels, or copy numbers, at hundreds of thousands of sites across the whole tumor genome. https://medicalxpress.com/news/2020-05-genome-wide-pattern-tumors-brain-cancer.html Fri, 15 May 2020 11:20:41 EDT news508760435 Sudden cardiac death accounts for approximately 10% of natural deaths, most of which are due to ventricular fibrillation. Each year, it causes 300,000 deaths in the United States and 20,000 in Spain. Researchers have demonstrated for the first time that the transition to calcium alternans, an arrhythmia associated with increased risk of sudden death, has common features with the magnetic ordering of metals. This new finding improves our understanding of the physical causes of sudden death and will advance the design of drugs to prevent it. The article, titled "Calcium Alternans is Due to an Order-Disorder Phase Transition in Cardiac Cells," was published in the scientific journal Physical Review Letters. https://medicalxpress.com/news/2015-04-physics-decipher-sudden-death.html Fri, 17 Apr 2015 10:05:06 EDT news348483890
