Study Finds That Endometriosis Prognosis Worsens as CNS Metastasis Occurs

Endometriosis is a disorder that causes the tissue that lines the inside of the uterus to grow outside the reproductive organ. It is associated with menstrual irregularities and pain and is estimated to affect around 10% of American women of reproductive age. The condition develops into endometrial cancer when the endometrial cells grow out of control, leading to the development of a tumor. Unfortunately, there is no cure for endometriosis, and current treatments can only do so much to ease the condition’s symptoms so they don’t interfere with an individual’s day-to-day activities. Prior studies have found that patients with endometrial…

New Research Finds Thinning Retina May Signal Onset of Alzheimer’s

Alzheimer’s is a progressive neurological disease that causes brain cells to shrink and die. It is characterized by memory problems, visual-spatial issues and impaired judgment. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that around 5.8 million Americans have Alzheimer’s disease and similar dementias. Although there is no cure for Alzheimer’s disease, early diagnosis of the neurological condition can allow for treatment and a better quality of life. Researchers have long theorized that eyes, specifically the retina, can act as a window into the brain and allow physicians to diagnose Alzheimer’s during the early stages. Backed by a growing…

Study Finds Using Social Media May Negatively Affect Youths’ Mental Health

In 2004, Mark Zuckerberg launched Facebook, and within days, some 600 students had created their accounts on the social platform. Today, the number of users on the platform stands at 2.93 billion. Researchers theorize that the expansion of this social platform may have affected the mental well-being of youth. This is backed by CDC data, showing that between 2000 and 2007, the suicide rate among individuals aged between 10 and 24 was stable. However, in the period between 2007 and 2017, the rate increased by 57%. Given this trend, it is important to understand the relationship between the use of…

Scientists Discover Unexpected Way in Which Air Pollution Causes Cancer

Scientists have for the longest time believed that cancer begins to develop when cells in the body acquire more mutations and multiply at an abnormal rate. However, new research has shed light on how air pollution can cause cancer, a discovery that could completely change the understanding of how tumors develop. This study, which was conducted by scientists at the Francis Crick Institute in London, found that air pollution was awakening old damaged cells in the body instead of damaging healthy cells. The investigators, who are also based at University College London, were focused on finding what could trigger the…

New Study Finds Hypertension Accelerates Bone Aging

A new study has found that high blood pressure (hypertension) may accelerate bone aging, as observed in mice models. The research was presented during this year’s Hypertension Scientific Sessions conference, hosted by the American Heart Association. The researchers’ objective was to understand how high blood pressure contributed to osteoporosis and help find ways to decrease the risk of the bone disease and better protect individuals from experiencing fragility fractures later in life. For their study, the researchers examined inflammation linked to hypertension in mice. This led to the discovery that high blood pressure may be linked to osteoporosis. Hypertension and…
