Millennials lead the escalating interest in marijuana and cannabinoid compounds for managing pain – with older generations not far behind – and yet most are unaware of potential risks. Three-quarters (75%) of Americans who expressed interest in using marijuana or cannabinoids to address pain are under the impression they are safer or have fewer side effects than opioids or other medications, according to a nationwide survey commissioned by the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA).

对Kardiozive Brno 2030研究数据的初步分析发现，养宠物有利于保持心脏健康，尤其是养狗。该研究旨在验证养宠物（尤其是养狗）与心血管疾病风险因素及心血管健康之间的联系。该研究成果已在Mayo Clinic Proceedings: Innovations, Quality & Outcome上发表。

A University of Texas at Dallas physicist has teamed with Texas Instruments to design a better way for electronics to convert waste heat into reusable energy. Silicon in the form of nanoblades can harvest thermoelectric energy at a greatly increased rate while remaining mass-producible when combined with integrated circuits.

قد يساعد امتلاك حيوان أليف على التمتع بقلب صحي، خاصة إذا كان هذا الحيوان الأليف كلبًا، وذلك وفقًا للتحليل الأول للبيانات من دراسة كارديوفيز برنو لعام 2030. تتناول الدراسة العلاقة التي تربط بين امتلاك حيوان أليف، وخاصة الكلب، وعوامل خطر التعرض لأمراض القلب والأوعية الدموية وصحة القلب والأوعية الدموية. وقد نُشرت هذه النتائج في Mayo Clinic Proceedings.

Ter um animal de estimação pode ajudar a manter o coração saudável, principalmente se esse animal de estimação for um cachorro, de acordo com a primeira análise dos dados do estudo Kardiozive Brno 2030.

A new study suggests there may be genetic explanations for why some children with poor language also have poor mental health.

بالنسبة لمرضى السكري، يعتبر تناول الأدوية ومراقبة نسبة السكر في الدم جزءًا من إيقاع حياتهم اليومية. ومع ذلك، وفقًا لبحث جديد صادر عن Mayo Clinic، فعلى الأرجح أن أكثر من 2.3 مليون مريض بالغ في الولايات المتحدة يتم علاج بشكل مكثف أكثر من اللازم. وقد تسبب هذا في حدوث آلاف من الزيارات إلى قسم الطوارئ ومرات دخول المستشفى بسبب نقص السكر في الدم (انخفاض نسبة السكر في الدم) التي كان من الممكن الوقاية منها.

Tener una mascota puede ayudar a conservar la salud cardíaca, especialmente cuando esa mascota es un perro, dice el primer análisis de datos del estudio Kardiozive Brno 2030. El estudio examina la relación entre tener una mascota —específicamente, un perro— y los factores de riesgo para enfermedades cardiovasculares y la salud cardiovascular misma.

A new study, published in the journal Clinical Psychological Science, suggests that the time adolescents are spending on their phones and online is not that bad.

Researchers at the University of Health Sciences, Medical Informatics and Technology (UMIT, Hall, Austria) and the University of the Balearic Islands (Palma de Mallorca, Spain) have confirmed the analgesic effects of social support – even without verbal or physical contact.

Para pessoas que têm diabetes, tomar as medicações e monitorar o açúcar no sangue faz parte do ritmo de seu cotidiano. Entretanto, de acordo com a nova pesquisa da Mayo Clinic, mais de 2,3 milhões dos pacientes adultos nos Estados Unidos são provavelmente tratados de forma intensa demais. Isso causou milhares de visitas potencialmente evitáveis aos departamentos de emergência e hospitalizações por hipoglicemia (baixa de açúcar no sangue).

Researchers found that patients with early rheumatoid arthritis (RA) may see less disease activity and higher remission rates after biologic therapy plus methotrexate (MTX) rather than either treatment alone.

A Ludwig Cancer Research study has uncovered a novel vulnerability in tumors that are driven by a common cancer gene known as MYC. Such cancers, it found, are highly dependent on the cell’s machinery for making fats and other lipids.

A personalized approach to cancer treatment has become more common over the last several decades, with numerous targeted drugs approved to treat particular tumor types with specific mutations or patterns. However, this same personalized strategy has not translated to radiation therapy, and a one-size-fits-all approach for most patients is still common practice. Moffitt Cancer Center researchers hope to change this mindset for radiation treatment with the development of a genomically-based model that can optimize and personalize a radiation dose to match an individual patient’s needs.

Mayo Clinic in Florida’s new Discovery and Innovation Building opened on Thursday, Aug. 22. Here, pioneering technology will increase the number of lungs available for transplant. The 75,000-square-foot building also will house an innovative Life Sciences Incubator that connects entrepreneurs with resources to bring medical solutions to market.

The newly developed “STROKE Perception Report” is a valid and reliable tool for evaluating the quality of hospital care for acute stroke, reports a study in the Journal of Neuroscience Nursing, official journal of the American Association of Neuroscience Nurses. The journal is published in the Lippincott portfolio by Wolters Kluwer.

In patients with morbid obesity, losing 20 pounds before knee replacement surgery (arthroplasty) leads to fewer hospital days and other outcome improvements, reports a study in the August 21, 2019 issue of The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery. The journal is published in the Lippincott portfolio in partnership with Wolters Kluwer.

Researchers at Rutgers and other institutions have discovered how muscle contraction (bronchospasm) in the airway, which cause breathing difficulty in people with asthma, occur by creating a microdevice that mimics the behavior of the human airways.

The study, published in the journal Nature Biomedical Engineering, could lead to new treatment strategies for respiratory diseases, said co-author Reynold Panettieri, director of the Rutgers Institute for Translational Medicine and Science.

New research from the University of Notre Dame adds nuance to the broadly accepted view that the crane was not in use until 515 B.C. by demonstrating how forerunners to the machine were experimented with as early as 700-650 B.C.
