Hormones contribute to sex disparities in bladder cancer, study shows

Hormones contribute to sex disparities in bladder cancer, study shows

AIHBA / By

Male sex hormones interfere with the body’s ability to fight bladder cancer, likely explaining why males experience higher cancer rates and more deadly disease, according to a new study co-led by a Cedars-Sinai Cancer investigator. These findings, published in Science Immunology, could represent a significant step toward unraveling why disparities in cancer incidence, prognosis and […]

Novel PET imaging agent detects earliest signs of Alzheimer's disease

Novel PET imaging agent detects earliest signs of Alzheimer's disease

AIHBA / By

A new highly selective PET imaging agent can detect the presence of overexpressed monoamine oxidase-B (MAO-B) in cognitively unimpaired individuals with high beta amyloid (Ab) — one of the earliest signs of Alzheimer’s disease — according to research published in the October issue of The Journal of Nuclear Medicine. The radiotracer, 18F-SMBT-1, allows for a

'Coolsculpting' inventors develop new non-surgical method for targeting fat

AIHBA / By

How cool is this: the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) laboratory that invented cryolipolisis or “Coolsculpting,” a popular non-surgical method for reducing fat under the skin, is developing a new form of the technology that can selectively reduce fat almost anywhere in the body using a safe, injectable ice solution or “slurry.” The technology, not yet

How breast cancer arises

AIHBA / By

In what may turn out to be a long-missing piece in the puzzle of breast cancer, Harvard Medical School researchers have identified the molecular sparkplug that ignites cases of the disease currently unexplained by the classical model of breast-cancer development. A report on the team’s work is published May 17 in Nature. “We have identified

The technology that can detect rapid pressure changes inside your heart

The technology that can detect rapid pressure changes inside your heart

AIHBA / By

Researchers at the University of East Anglia have used cutting-edge imaging technology to measure acute pressure changes inside the heart. The state-of-the-art technology uses magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to create detailed images of the heart. Using the new technology, the team discovered that pressure inside the heart goes up when given a specific medication for

High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) can control prostate cancer with fewer side effects

AIHBA / By

In recent years, a new treatment strategy known as focal therapy (partial gland ablation) has emerged for prostate cancer considered to be “intermediate risk” — mostly, small tumors confined to one area of the prostate. At Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK), researchers have been working closely with an advanced focal therapy approach known as

Brain-belly connection: Gut health may influence likelihood of developing Alzheimer's

AIHBA / By

Could changing your diet play a role in slowing or even preventing the development of dementia? We’re one step closer to finding out, thanks to a new UNLV study that bolsters the long-suspected link between gut health and Alzheimer’s disease. The analysis — led by a team of researchers with the Nevada Institute of Personalized

Battery-free, light-powered pacemaker may improve quality of life for heart disease patients

AIHBA / By

Atrial fibrillation — a form of irregular heartbeat, or arrhythmia — leads to more than 454,000 hospitalizations and nearly 160,000 deaths in the United States each year. Globally, it is estimated that approximately 60 million people are affected by the condition. Pacemakers are lifesaving devices that regulate the heartbeats of people with chronic heart diseases
