Study unravels the Role of miR-181 in Preeclampsia: A Potential Diagnostic Biomarker for Maternal and Fetal Health

Recent investigation into miR-181 expression levels aimed to determine its potential as a diagnostic biomarker for preeclampsia (PE) in women. Preeclampsia is a pregnancy-specific disorder characterized by hypertension and proteinuria, affecting approximately 2-8% of pregnancies and resulting in significant maternal and fetal complications. Recent studies have highlighted the dysregulation of microRNAs (miRNAs) in the pathology […]

RSV is a leading cause of serious respiratory illness in young children particularly in the first six months of life, responsible for millions of hospitalisations of children around the world every year. After successful […]

Ultra-low dose CT aids pneumonia diagnosis in immunocompromised patients: Study

Denoised ultra-low dose CT can effectively diagnose pneumonia in immunocompromised patients using only 2% of the radiation dose of standard CT, according to a study published today in Radiology: Cardiothoracic Imaging, a journal of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA). “For patients with weakened immune systems, lung infections can be life threatening,” said lead […]

Fremanezumab Shows Dual Efficacy in Treating Migraine and Comorbid Major Depressive Disorder: JAMA

Researchers have found in a new study that Fremanezumab proved effective in reducing symptoms of both migraine and comorbid major depressive disorder in patients suffering from both conditions. The study was conducted by Richard B. L. and fellow researchers published in JAMA Neurology. Although migraine and major depressive disorder (MDD) frequently co-occur, evidence for effective […]

Maternal diabetes increases risk of neurodevelopmental disorders among children: Lancet

A new study published in the journal of The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology showed that children with maternal diabetes have a higher chance of developing neurodevelopmental problems and perform worse in these domains. Diabetes in the mother may change how the fetus develops its brain. Thus, to synthesize and assess the existing data about the […]
