Placing defibrillator pads on the chest and back, rather than the usual method of putting two on the chest, increases the odds of surviving an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest by more than two-and-a-half times, according to a new study.Continue ReadingCa… Continue reading New defib placement more than doubles odds of surviving cardiac arrest
Researchers have found that getting a vaccine booster shot in a different arm from the one you got the first in may improve the body’s immune response up to four-fold. While they exclusively studied responses to the COVID-19 vaccine, they suspect this … Continue reading Getting vaccines in different arms improves effectiveness, study finds
Using neuroimaging data of nearly 12,000 participants, researchers have confirmed there is a need for a ‘whole brain approach’ to diagnosing, researching and treating attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, Sc… Continue reading ADHD affects connectivity across the whole brain, study confirms
Scientists have discovered how a unique kind of cell death, due to iron toxicity, creates a snowball effect that advances cognitive decline. With this finding, a whole new approach to treatment could be developed.

The gold standard for storing lungs for transplant procedures has been to pack them in ice in coolers, which keeps them at roughly 4 °C (39 °F). But a look back at lung transplant research has revealed that there’s an even better temperature at which t… Continue reading Lung storage technique offers ‘paradigm shift’ for transplants
In addition to causing myriad health problems, injury and death, the harmful use of alcohol contributes to significant social and economic loss for individuals, families, and society. A new study has found that medication used to treat skin conditions … Continue reading Psoriasis medication a promising new treatment for problem drinking
In what’s described as a breakthrough decades in the making, scientists at Oregon State Health & Science University (OHSU) have revealed the inner ear architecture that converts vibrations into sound, in near-atomic detail. The discovery for the first … Continue reading Hearing discovery reveals ear architecture that turns vibration into sound
More and more, we’re hearing about scaffolding-like materials that are used to help heal bone injuries. A new one is claimed to be particularly versatile, as it’s inspired by Lego building blocks.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Oregon H… Continue reading Lego-inspired bioscaffolding could better heal broken bones
The CRISPR gene-editing tool has been used inside the human body for the first time. In a new clinical trial, scientists at the Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU) are testing the technique as a treatment for a genetic mutation that causes blin… Continue reading First in-body CRISPR human trial targets hereditary blindness
