Rajasthan will introduce Family Centered Care in district hospitals

Eli Lilly and Company (India), in collaboration with the Association of Physicians of India (API), on Friday announced the launch of 'API - Obesity Gurukul', a flagship Continuing Medical Education (CME) program aimed at enhancing physicians' clinical capabilities to address obesity, which is rapidly emerging as one of India's most pressing public health challenges.

Researchers are working to improve the way we use evolutionary modeling to understand drug resistance. The study uses a "fitness seascape" evolutionary model to predict whether an infection will develop antibiotic resistance. It found that inconsistent timing and missing early doses can lead to treatment failure.

People's immune systems deteriorate as they age, making cancer therapies that rely on immune cells difficult to implement. In a new study, researchers from the University of Lausanne (UNIL), the Lausanne University Hospital (CHUV), the Geneva University Hospitals (HUG), and the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL) show that age-related immune decline has a measurable impact on CAR-T cell therapy, one of the most advanced forms of cancer immunotherapy.

In a recent study, scientists from The Jackson Laboratory (JAX) and UConn Health not only show how cancer hijacks this tightly regulated splicing and rearranging of RNA but also introduce a potential therapeutic strategy that could slow or even shrink aggressive and hard-to-treat tumors. This discovery could transform how we treat aggressive cancers, such as triple-negative breast cancer and certain brain tumors, where current treatment options are limited.

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati, in partnership with leading institutions around the world, have devised an innovative multi-stage clinical trial method that aims to revolutionise personalised medical care.

For the first time, researchers have identified at least three unique subtypes of a rare type of bone cancer, potentially transforming clinical trials and patient care.

Aarhus University researchers have come up with a new technique that may represent a major advancement in the treatment of chronic renal disease. The technique has the ability to forecast how the illness will evolve, which may guarantee more effective and individualised care and lessen the frequency of hospital stays.

A Michigan Medicine study found that high systolic blood pressure (the top number on the blood pressure reading and how hard the heart pumps blood to the arteries) increases the risk of the two most common types of strokes over time.

A new study by the Centre for Cardiovascular Risk Reduction in South Asia (CARRS) has demonstrated significant long-term benefits of a multicomponent quality improvement (QI) strategy in managing type 2 diabetes in India and Pakistan.

"Long genes that become less active with age may be the central cause of aging in our bodies," said co-corresponding author Thomas Stoeger, assistant professor of medicine in pulmonary and critical care at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine and a member of the Potocsnak Longevity Institute. "Our finding advances the field by identifying a single phenomenon that connects most existing knowledge about aging and makes this underlying phenomenon measurable."
