Taking a higher dose of folic acid during the first trimester of pregnancy was safe and associated with improved verbal abilities in children at age six as well as improved behavior skills, according to a preliminary study released today, March 4, 2025, that will be presented at the American Academy of Neurology鈥檚 77th Annual Meeting taking place April 5鈥�9, 2025, in San Diego and online.
Patients hospitalized with severe pneumonia who required ECMO had worse outcomes when their diagnosis included COVID-19, including higher mortality, longer hospital stays, higher costs of care and greater likelihood of being discharged to places other than home, according to a new study that examined six years of national inpatient data.
There鈥檚 nothing like a crisis to pull people together, and that鈥檚 exactly what COVID-19 did for hospitals and health care workers. As Corewell Health acknowledges the five-year anniversary of the pandemic, physicians and others reflect on how the crisis improved hospitals and changed those who work in them.
In December, Children鈥檚 Hospital Los Angeles treated its third patient with Hemgenix gene therapy鈥攁 young adult with hemophilia B. The first two patients were treated on the clinical trial that led to the drug鈥檚 approval by the Food and Drug Administration.International hemophilia expert Guy Young, MD, led CHLA鈥檚 participation in that trial, as well as the trial for Roctavian gene therapy, which is FDA approved for hemophilia A.
For patients undergoing nerve transfer surgery for facial palsy, Botox injections can improve facial symmetry by reducing overactivity of the muscles on the unaffected side, suggests a study in the March issue of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery庐, the official medical journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS). The journal is published in the Lippincott portfolio by Wolters Kluwer.
The Kuiper Belt object known as 148780 Altjira, already known to be a binary system shows signs of containing a third member in new Hubble observations.
Most obese patients grow resistant to satiety signals from the hormone leptin. A new study shows that leptin sensitivity can be restored in mice, leading to weight loss.
In the journal Chaos, researchers in Japan explore the likelihood that Earth鈥檚 climate, as affected by solar heat, plays a role in seismic activity. Using mathematical and computational methods, they analyzed earthquake data alongside solar activity records and surface temperatures on Earth and observed that when they included Earth surface temperatures into their model, the forecasting became more accurate, especially for shallow earthquakes. The findings suggest the transfer of solar heat to the surface of the Earth does affect seismic activity, however minutely, and that incorporating solar activity predictions into detailed Earth temperature models may help issue earthquake forecasts.
ORNL scientists recently sketched a road map for autonomous research laboratories.
Center will expand programs, training, and resources to promote strong family connections and early-childhood development
A modified bone marrow transplant procedure for sickle cell disease (SCD) co-developed at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, and the University of California, San Francisco, can cure the disease, a new study has found.
Using a powerful microscopy technique, a team led by researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center has gained insights into how the body uses vitamin K, an essential nutrient that plays a pivotal role in blood clotting and other physiological functions.
Findings could improve long-term outcomes for patients
Two experiment collaborations, the g2p and EG4 collaborations, combined their complementary data on the proton鈥檚 inner structure to improve calculations of a phenomenon in atomic physics known as the hyperfine splitting of hydrogen. An atom of hydrogen is made up of an electron orbiting a proton. The overall energy level of hydrogen depends on the spin orientation of the proton and electron. If one is up and one is down, the atom will be in its lowest energy state. But if the spins of these particles are the same, the energy level of the atom will increase by a small, or hyperfine, amount. These spin-born differences in the energy level of an atom are known as hyperfine splitting.
