This recommendation was prompted by the recent increase in colorectal cancer cases in individuals who are below 50. These changes, which were published on JAMA Network, align with recommendations from the American Cancer Society. Colorectal cancer is sometimes referred to as rectal cancer, colon cancer or bowel cancer. It usually begins in the rectum or colon, which make up part of the large intestine. Most cases of…

Study Finds That Sleep Apnea Increases Risk of Sudden Death

Research conducted by Penn State College of Medicine has discovered that individuals who are diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea have a higher risk of sudden death in comparison with individuals who don’t have sleep apnea. Estimates show that more than one billion people globally suffer from this chronic sleep disorder. The disorder causes a blockage of airflow when an individual is sleeping. This disturbance can also manifest as non-refreshing sleep, heavy snoring, fatigue and excessive daytime sleepiness. The study was published in “BMJ Open Respiratory Research.” The researchers conducted a systematic literature review and identified more than 20 studies focusing…

Molecular Approaches May Help Accurately Diagnose Lesions in Drug-Resistant Focal Epilepsy

A recently published review has discovered that considering genetic data for individuals who are suffering from drug-resistant focal epilepsy has led to the definition of novel illness entities and enhanced clinical decision making. Drug-resistant focal epilepsy, as defined by the International League Against Epilepsy, usually occurs when an individual has failed to stay free of seizures with sufficient trials of 2 ASMs (anti-seizure medication). The disease is often caused by brain lesions such as glioneural tumors. These drugs must have been specifically chosen for the individual’s type of seizures and tried in combination with other seizure medications or on their…

Study Looks Into Mutations That Cause Resistance to Cancer Therapies

A study conducted by researchers from UT Southwestern has discovered that mutating genes to create proteins that drive cancer using a virus may allow scientists to better understand the resistance that develops to the cancer treatments used to target them. The researchers’ findings were published in “Cancer Research,” with the scientists noting that their discovery could assist in better understanding the interaction between treatments and their target proteins, as well as in the development of treatments that bypass resistance. Dr. Ralf Kittler from the Eugene McDermott Center for Human Growth and Development, who is the research leader, stated that the…
