Thyroid eye disease (TED) is a complex, debilitating autoimmune disease that causes orbital inflammation and tissue remodeling, leading to proptosis, diplopia, and even vision loss in severe cases. TED can cause facial disfigurement and severely impact the patient’s quality of life. Although the course of TED was established more than 60 years ago, effective treatments […]

Japanese encephalitis virus is spreading in Australia
The deadly mosquito-borne virus, Japanese encephalitis, is sweeping across Australia, where the youngest patient is four months old. Eighteen people have been infected, so far. Two men have died. Japanese encephalitis is a disease of the brain. Severe cases are rare and experts have said that fewer than 1% of people who contract the mosquito-borne […]
Remote Patient Monitoring Goes Mainstream, And Healthcare Transformation Follows
The pandemic fast-tracked healthcare’s adoption of remote patient monitoring. Some believe it is here to stay. Here are some critical success factors that pioneering healthcare organizations need to consider when implementing RPM. Where are we now? Remote patient monitoring (RPM) is looking to move into the mainstream of healthcare as organizations look to build on […]
Longer Sleep Periods May Help Prevent Development of Obesity
Conventional wisdom used to be that one’s weight is determined purely by nutrition and activity level. However, we now understand body weight to be more than simply a function of behavior. Genetics, socioeconomic status, community environment, stress, and overall health all play a role in one’s weight. Additionally, how well or poorly you sleep can […]
Midlife chronic conditions (multimorbidity) linked to increased dementia risk later in life
A large study of UK adults has found that having two or more chronic conditions (multimorbidity) in middle age is associated with an increased risk of dementia later in life, with this risk increasing in tandem with increased number of chronic conditions. The study, published in the BMJ , by researchers from the Université de Paris and University […]

Immune cells alter genetic decoding in cancer
Hundreds of cancer-linked genetic play a different role in causing disease than scientists had expected. Tumor suppressor genes have long been known to block cell growth, preventing cancerous cells from spreading. Mutations in these genes, scientists believed, thus allow tumors to flourish unchecked. Now, Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator Stephen Elledge’s team has uncovered a […]
Stool tests might help spot early pancreatic cancer
Stool samples could soon be analysed to help detect pancreatic cancer after scientists identified microorganisms that appear to place individuals at greater risk of developing the illness. In a study of 136 people, scientists found that 27 different microbes were abundant in the stool samples of those diagnosed with the most common form of pancreatic cancer. This “microbial profile” consistently […]
Why is Artificial intelligence (AI) adoption in health care lagging?
Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies have improved rapidly over the past decade, largely driven by advances in machine learning, which is closely related to data science and statistical prediction. Several aspects of the health care system involve prediction, including diagnosis, treatment, administration, and operations. This connection between machine learning’s capabilities and needs of the health care […]
