Cardiologists and radiation oncologists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis pioneered the use of radiation therapy, a cancer-fighting technique, to treat patients with ventricular tachycardia, a potentially fatal abnormal heartbeat.
Researchers discovered how genetic abnormalities in particular types of brain cells may lead to the inflammatory response found in Alzheimer's disease.
The research team discovered that low-dose radiation therapy appears to enhance heart function in various forms of heart failure after analysing the cardiac effects of radiation in a small number of these individuals and modelling the effects of low-dose radiation in mice with heart failure.
Diets high in fibre, including those that contain broccoli sprouts or other cruciferous vegetables, may help mice with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) live longer and feel better.
According to research, laser epilation, also known as laser hair removal, reduced the risk of recurrence in patients with pilonidal disease, an inflammatory, painful, and sometimes chronic or recurring condition.
Researchers at Nemours Children's Health, Delaware Valley, found that laser epilation, also called laser hair removal, decreased the risk of recurrence in patients with pilonidal disease, an inflammatory, painful, and occasionally chronic or recurring condition.
The researchers investigated the interactions between mice and their immune systems, as well as the broccoli sprout diet, microbes within the Crohn's-afflicted gut, and how those microbes would use an inactive compound in the broccoli sprouts to make an anti-inflammatory compound in the gut.
CRS is an inflammatory disease that lasts at least 12 weeks and can cause nasal congestion, nasal discharge, difficulty breathing through the nose, face pain, and even loss of sense of smell.
Researchers have discovered a low-cost anti-inflammatory hydrogel that could one day be used to treat persistent skin lesions such as those observed in diabetics.
In a new study, mice with immune systems that had been trained against the microbial protein flagellin did not experience the usual harmful repercussions of taking food additive emulsifiers, pointing to a potential new way to combat numerous chronic inflammatory illnesses.

In a new study, mice with immune systems that had been trained against the microbial protein flagellin did not experience the usual negative consequences of consuming food additive emulsifiers, pointing to a potential new strategy to battle many chronic inflammatory disorders.
