Measuring Up: Scientists Spot Genes Linked to Height
THURSDAY, Oct. 13, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- The answer to how tall a child will be is typically an estimate based on an average of the parents’ heights.But an Australian study that included more than 5 million people has found that more than 12,000 genetic variants influence height.“Eighty percent of height differences between people are determined by genetic factors,†said researcher Loic Yengo of the University of Queensland Institute for Molecular Bioscience. “The 12,000 variants that we found explain 40% of height differences, meaning we’ve opened the door for DNA to be used to predict height more accurately than ever before,†he explained in a university news release.About 600 researchers worked on what was described as the largest-ever genome-wide association study...
Gene Therapy Helps Those With Rare Form of Blindness See...
13 October 2022
THURSDAY, Oct. 13, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- An experimental gene therapy offers hope for rapid improvement in the night vision of adults who have a congenital form of childhood-onset blindness, researchers report.In this ongoing clinical trial at the Scheie Eye Institute in the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, in Philadelphia, researchers delivered AAV gene therapy (when an adenovirus is used to ferry genetic material to targeted cells) into the retina of one eye for each of the study patients.The patients have Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA). This congenital blindness is caused by mutations in the GUCY2D gene.The patients in the study showed large increases in visual function within days of being treated. These increases were in functions involving...
Former 'Real Housewife' Teddi Mellencamp Has Stage 2...
12 October 2022
WEDNESDAY, Oct. 12, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Teddi Mellencamp, a former star of TV's “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,†announced Tuesday that she has a repeat case of melanoma on part of her back where she previously had the skin cancer.Mellencamp, 41, said doctors advised her the current cancer is stage 2, TODAY reported. “Despite my anxiety, I listened to the doctors and went in for my 3-month skin check last week since my previous melanoma. They said I had another abnormal spot near my last one so they did a biopsy. I got the call this morning: Stage 2 melanoma,†Mellencamp wrote on Instagram.Mellencamp expects to see her oncologist next week to have the spots removed. They will make a plan for additional testing and biopsies of other spots the dermatologist already...
Kidney Stones Can Be Excruciating. New Treatment Blasts...
12 October 2022
WEDNESDAY, Oct. 12, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- A new ultrasound treatment for kidney stones might provide pain-free relief while the patient is awake, researchers say.Kidney stones are often excruciatingly painful. In most cases, patients are told to just ride it out, sometimes for weeks, in the hope the stone will eventually pass through the urinary tract — from kidney to bladder — on its own. But for roughly one in four patients that never happens, triggering surgical intervention.However, a small new study suggests there may be another way: a non-surgical and minimally painful treatment that enlists two types of ultrasound to zap “ureteral stones,†causing them to break up, dislodge and reposition in order to make passing the stones easier and faster. “The two-pronged...
FDA Approves New Bivalent COVID Booster for Use in Children
12 October 2022
WEDNESDAY, Oct. 12, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- The new bivalent COVID-19 booster is now approved for children as young as 5 years old, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced Wednesday.The bivalent booster shot includes one part that protects against the original strain of the COVID-19 coronavirus, and another part that targets the highly transmissible Omicron strain.Moderna’s bivalent vaccine is authorized for children down to 6 years old, while Pfizer-BioNTech’s vaccine is approved for children as young as 5.In both cases, the booster shot should be given at least two months after children have either finished the primary series of two shots or have gotten a booster shot.“Vaccination remains the most effective measure to prevent the severe consequences of COVID-19,...
Group of Brain Cells in Dish Can Play Computer Game Pong
12 October 2022
WEDNESDAY, Oct. 12, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Scientists have taught a brain cell culture living in a laboratory dish to play the vintage table-tennis video game Pong.It’s the first demonstration that a collection of lab-grown brain cells can be taught to perform goal-directed tasks, the Australian researchers report.They call the culture of 800,000 brain cells “DishBrain,†and they next plan to see how medicines and alcohol affect its Pong skills.“DishBrain offers a simpler approach to test how the brain works, and gain insights into debilitating conditions such as epilepsy and dementia,†said Dr. Hon Weng Chong, chief executive officer of biotech start-up Cortical Labs.DishBrain is based on mouse cells taken from embryonic brains and human brain cells derived from stem...
Scientists Transplant Human Brain Cells Into Rat Brains, a Boon to Research
12 October 2022
WEDNESDAY, Oct. 12, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Human brain tissue has been successfully transplanted into the brains of rats using a cutting-edge experimental procedure, say researchers. They envision the achievement as a promising new frontier in medical research.Groups of living human nerve cells have become integrated into the brains of laboratory rats, creating hybrid brain circuits that can be activated through input from the rats’ senses, the scientists reported Wednesday.Further, experiments have shown that the human tissue forms a two-way connection within the rat brain, also sending out signals that can potentially alter the rat’s behavior, the researchers said.This procedure transforms rat brains into a biological living laboratory that could revolutionize research into...
AHA News: How Job Burnout Can Hurt Your Health – And What to Do About It
12 October 2022
WEDNESDAY, Oct. 12, 2022 (American Heart Association News) -- Too many times, the realization comes too late."When people have a major medical event like a heart attack or stroke, they retrospectively go back and say, 'Oh, I was really stressed, maybe that's why this happened to me,'" said Dr. Ian Kronish, associate director of the Center for Behavioral Cardiovascular Health at Columbia University Irving Medical Center in New York. "But they don't think beforehand that they'd better take care of that stress for their health."There are many causes of stress, but experts say one leading factor has increased significantly in recent years: work-related burnout."Burnout is real, and we're seeing a lot of it these days," said Dr. Tené Lewis, associate professor of epidemiology at the...
