Gut Microbiome

Gut microbiome and Cancer: A Promising Frontier in Prevention and Treatment

While cancer remains a formidable challenge, recent research has shed light on a surprising ally in the fight against it: our gut microbiome. The trillions of microbes residing in our intestines, collectively known as the gut microbiome, play a crucial role in overall health, including digestion, metabolism, and immune function. Emerging evidence suggests that the […]

Prostate Cancer

PSA tests may cause overdiagnosis of prostate cancer in Black men

Researchers now hypothesize that Black men may have naturally larger levels of the antigen in their blood than White men, but this does not suggest a higher risk of prostate cancer. A new British study reveals that the PSA test, which has long been used to detect prostate cancer, may lead to overdiagnosis in Black

Bird Flu

Bird flu found in sea mammals, increasing the risk to humans.

According to a new study, bird flu has changed so that it can move more easily between birds and marine mammals, increasing the risk to humans. Four sea lions, one fur seal, and a tern discovered dead in Argentina tested positive for the avian influenza virus H5N1, according to researchers. Furthermore, genetic investigation found that

Helpful gut bacteria seem to reduce allergic disease in kids.

Scientists are investigating “cocktails” of beneficial microbes as therapy in infants because the appropriate combination of gut bacteria may prevent later allergic reaction. Around 2007, I stopped sending my kids to school with peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. when was around the time when people began talking about a major increase in the number of

Sarcoidosis

Researchers introduce Rapid Blood Test for Swift Sarcoidosis Diagnosis.

A study has developed a diagnostic tool for sarcoidosis, a chronic inflammatory illness characterized by the growth of small lumps known as granulomas in the lungs and other organs, which can be used to detect the condition swiftly and economically. The technology, which uses a simple blood test, may enable the use of more intrusive

Head and Neck Cancer

Potential Genetic Marker Improves Survival in Head, Neck Cancer

UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center researchers discovered for the first time that a gene commonly associated with massive axonal neuropathy, a rare and severe neurological disorder, also inhibits aggressive tumor cell proliferation in head, neck cancer. The scientists discovered that when a specific genetic variant (GAN gene exon 8 SNP T allele) of the
