NIH-funded researchers and Google show machine learning can be applied to biomedical research.

For J.R. Bourne, a day at the beach rekindles good and bad memories.

When a serious disease or illness arises, treating the condition is just one aspect of caring for the patient. By identifying and treating the psychosocial, social, and spiritual issues related to a disease — what is called “supportive care” — providers are able to better connect with patients and work to deliver better outcomes.

The future of health begins with YOU! The mission of the All of Us Research Program is simple: we want to speed up health research and medical breakthroughs.

In a new study, researchers identified genetic subtypes of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) that could help explain why some patients with the disease respond to treatment and others don’t.

A new study led by researchers at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC – James) has identified combinations of gene mutations that predict whether an older person with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) might achieve complete remission when treated with standard chemotherapy.

On Wednesday, April 25, MELT, at 4105 Fourth Ave. South, will host Dine for a Cure, a fundraising effort in which local restaurants partner with the Young Supporters Board of the University of Alabama at Birmingham Comprehensive Cancer Center to raise money for cancer research at UAB.

Researchers at the National Institutes of Health worked with 15 patients from around the world to uncover a genetic basis of “dripping candle wax” bone disease.

The Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) announced Monday that the number of maternal deaths in Texas in 2012 was actually less than half of what was previously reported.

Since the managed care debacle of the 1990s, billions of dollars have been spent in time and resources to improve and measure the quality of patient care.

The research community now has a new framework toward developing a biologically-based definition of Alzheimer’s disease.

Many cancers start with the flip of a switch. For example, the most common mutation in human cancers affects a small signaling protein called K-Ras, which helps tell our cells when to grow and divide; when K-Ras is mutated, its normal on-off mechanism gets stuck in the “on” position, leading to cancer.

The “informal” costs of caregiving for Americans with heart disease and stroke are projected to more than double by 2035, according to a new analysis.

Despite the proven efficacy of smoking cessation medications, some doctors hesitate to prescribe them because of suspected side effects such as heart attack and stroke.
