Image: This infographic illustrates the connection between the brain, central nervous system and other organs and how they interact with a person\'s gut microbes to show different patterns from people with high blood pressure plus depression; high blood pressure without depression; depression with healthy blood pressure; or healthy subjects without depression or high blood pressure (Photo courtesy of Professor Bruce R. Stevens, PhD).

Gut Bacteria Linked to High Blood Pressure and Depression

The microbiome is the genetic material of all the microbes, bacteria, fungi, protozoa and viruses that live on and inside the human body. The number of genes in all the microbes in one person's microbiome is 200 times the number of genes in the human genome. More...

Vaping Illness Characterized by Lipid-Laden Cells in Lungs

Lung scans from patients with vaping illness look like a serious viral or bacterial pneumonia, but those tests come back negative. Instead, diagnosis has been based on exclusion of known causes of similar respiratory illnesses combined with knowing the patient has a history of vaping. More...

New Blood Test Helps Detect Brain Injury in Minutes

After traumatic brain injury (TBI), plasma concentration of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) correlates with intracranial injury visible on computerized axial tomography (CT) scan. Some patients with suspected TBI with normal CT findings show pathology on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). More...

Gout Increases Risk of Advanced Chronic Kidney Disease

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major public health epidemic, with at least 1 in 10 individuals having some degree of kidney impairment, contributing substantially to adverse clinical and economic outcomes. More...

Image: A major new study on the association between blood glucose levels, including HbA1c, and risks of organ impairment in people with type 1 diabetes can make a vital contribution to diabetes care (Photo courtesy of HealthEngine).

Blood Sugar Levels Affect Risks in Type 1 Diabetes

Type 1 diabetes is the predominant form of diabetes diagnosed in childhood and is characterized by increased blood glucose levels resulting from insulin deficiency. More...

CTC Purification Enables Identification of Cancer-Linked Genetic Arrangements

The use of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) as a surrogate tumor source for molecular profiling of disease offers a potential noninvasive diagnostic solution for understanding underlying tumor biology, guiding treatment interventions, and monitoring disease progression. More...

Proteinuria Contributes to Greater CKD Progression Risk in Men

Older men with chronic kidney disease had a 50% increased risk for progression to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) compared with women and this may be the result of higher levels of proteinuria. More...
