The researchers developed an exosome-based drug delivery system which employed synergistic miRNA-based autophagy inhibition and 7-coumarin-based chemotherapy for ovarian cancer therapy.
Rush University Health System, on the West Side of Chicago, has physicians, researchers and others available to speak to health issues, such as health equity, mental health care for veterans, climate change, abortion and maternal mortality.
Researchers at The University of Texas at El Paso will undertake a new study that could lead to improved nicotine cessation treatments for women. The work is supported by a new $2.5 million grant from the National Institute on Drug Abuse, part of the National Institutes of Health.
Giving probiotics to pregnant mice can enhance both the immune system and behavior of the mothers and their offspring, according to a new study led by The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and College of Medicine.
Endometriosis affects more than 11% of women of reproductive age in the U.S. and 190 million women worldwide. The average time to diagnose endometriosis is seven years after the onset of symptoms. These circumstances may cause life-altering consequences such as chronic pain, infertility and quality of life.
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen may be a simple way to reduce the risk of postoperative delirium. Combining two common blood tests may help doctors identify pregnant women who are at higher risk for life-threatening preeclampsia.
Researchers at the Indiana University Melvin and Bren Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center have completed the most extensive mapping of healthy breast cells to date. These findings offer an important tool for researchers at IU and beyond to understand how breast cancer develops and the differences in breast tissue among genetic ancestries.
A new Harvey L. Neiman Health Policy Institute study found the geographic distance to facilities providing breast MR or ultrasound was more than 2.7 times further than the distance to a mammography center. Given new breast density guidelines, now approximately one in two women (those who have dense breast tissue) are recommended to have supplemental breast cancer screening by breast MR or ultrasound due to their relatively higher breast cancer risk. The research, published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, measured distance to the nearest facility offering mammography, breast MR and/or breast ultrasound for 29,629 ZIP codes. The researchers compared distance between imaging types to reveal the relative extent of this barrier to access and to inform approaches to mitigate disparities.
Pregnant and postpartum women with depression and anxiety have a slightly better chance of getting psychotherapy these days, a new study finds. And they are paying less of their own money when they do. A new analysis looks at the impact of two major health policies.
Women with the common reproductive and metabolic condition polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) face a greater risk of developing bulimia, binge eating disorder and disordered eating, according to new research published in The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism.
From costing society an estimated $11 trillion to hindering new discoveries in medicine and preventing access to effective interventions, underrepresentation of women, older adults and minorities in clinical research has several significant consequences, according to recent analyses commissioned by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine.
The U.S. Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) has awarded the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) a $2 million grant over five years.
A study led by Jeffrey S. A. Stringer, MD, FACOG, professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the UNC School of Medicine, has shown that an AI-enabled, low-cost handheld ultrasound device can estimate gestational age as accurately as expert sonographers, potentially revolutionizing pregnancy care in low-resource settings where healthcare personnel have little ultrasound training.
Recent research has shown that immigration policies – often viewed as forms of structural racism – affect the social, economic, and health prospects for Latiné communities in the United States. In the past decade, there has been an increase in restrictive immigration policies from both political parties, which can substantially impact the well-being of individuals, families, and communities.
Many women approach menopause with anxiety about the future. You’ve probably heard about it being a stressful time full of hot flashes, weight gain, and plummeting sex drive. The good news? Menopause is having a moment. That means heightened awareness, more resources dedicated to improving women’s health, and open discussions to ensure you get the information you need.
An artificial intelligence method to detect biomarkers in tumor biopsies promises to cut weeks and thousands of dollars from cancer detection, extending the benefits of precision oncology to underserved and under-resourced patients.
