Knowing how to spot trustworthy health information can help you make informed choices about your own health and the health of those around you鈥攁nd avoid the real risks of taking health fiction as fact. We asked communication researchers how to assess whether a piece of health information is the real deal.
COVID infection has been linked to higher risk of autoimmune disorders, including rheumatoid arthritis and type 1 diabetes. Scientists used advanced data analysis and machine learning to identify viral proteins that are more likely to trigger autoimmunity.
A novel oral combination drug therapy evaluated at Huntsman Cancer Institute could treat and prevent melanoma spreading to the brain. Brain metastasis is the main cause of death from melanoma.
Gut microbes shape pancreas development in infancy, leading to long-term changes in diabetes risk, new research in mice has found. The results could ultimately help doctors reduce the risk of type 1 diabetes鈥攐r potentially even restore lost pancreatic function in adulthood鈥攚ith microbes that help the pancreas heal.
Much remains unknown about the risks and benefits of medical cannabis, and as use rates spike, research is urgently needed to understand the full health, social, and even environmental impacts of these medications.
The federally funded program aims to improve cancer care for rural and frontier residents in the Mountain West, bringing the latest in cancer care by providing access to clinical trials.
The potentially protective gene, CNTN2, is altered in asymptomatic family members of people with the seizure disorder. Similar genetic alterations decrease seizure severity in fruit flies with the disorder.
Researchers at Huntsman Cancer Institute have found that fewer sessions of higher dose vaginal cuff brachytherapy work just as well as more frequent, lower-dose treatments for endometrial cancer patients.
Through a combination of anesthesiology, veterinary science, and advanced imaging, the team identified the cause of the sea lion鈥檚 reduced activity as advanced spinal disease and determined an appropriate treatment to alleviate his symptoms.
The study identified specific neurotransmitters and brain cells that are involved in alcohol-induced insomnia. This work could ultimately lead to targeted treatments for alcohol-related sleep loss, helping people recover from alcohol use disorder.
The introduction of two da Vinci 5 systems enhances surgery precision and safety, decreasing recovery times for patients. This innovative technology strengthens Huntsman Cancer Institute鈥檚 role as a leader in robotic surgical care.
The analysis of almost 10,000 pregnancies has discovered previously unidentified combinations of risk factors linked to serious negative pregnancy outcomes, finding that there may be up to a tenfold difference in risk for infants who are currently treated identically under clinical guidelines.
A new study published in the Journal of General Internal Medicine reveals that infection with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, significantly increases the rate of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) among COVID-19 survivors.
Vaping is often marketed as a healthier alternative to smoking or a tool to quit smoking. But it鈥檚 not a safe habit鈥攖he health effects of vaping can be irreversible and sometimes deadly. Research is revealing an increasing number of health risks, including permanent damage to your teeth and gums.
The microbiome is a vast community that changes how we digest food, how we respond to disease threats, and even how we think. But scientists are just scratching the surface of how our microscopic roommates affect our health.
Huntsman Cancer Institute joins other institutions through myeloMATCH, a program that matches patients with clinical trials that specifically target their disease.
Huntsman Cancer Institute researchers have identified a gene variant found in a high-altitude Andean population that may predict severity of diseases and responses to treatments for patients with certain types of blood cancer.
