What Pigs and Squirrels Can Teach Us About Managing Pain
Over the past several decades, there have been many supporting studies of the health-promoting effects of an optimistic personality. Much research has been done on the connection between a high level of optimism and good health, described well in clinical psychologists Burel R. Goodin and Hailey W. Bulls’ 2014 research paper, appropriately titled, “Optimism and the Experience of Pain: Benefits of Seeing the Glass as Half Full.” The authors state that optimism “is linked to both enhanced physiological recovery and psychosocial adjustment to coronary artery bypass surgery, bone marrow transplant, post...

What Are Some Risks For Offspring of Assisted Reproductive Technologies?
Discussion
“ART [assisted reproductive technologies] includes all fertility treatments in which either eggs or embryos are handled. The main type of ART is in vitro fertilization (IVF). IVF involves extracting a woman’s eggs, fertilizing the eggs in the laboratory, and then transferring the resulting embryos into the woman’s uterus through the cervix.” In Europe 2-6% of all births are due to some type of ART and ART occurs in 2% of US births. In 2021 in the US, there were 91,906 live births and 97,128 live born infants due to ART. ART is an enabling medical treatment for subfertile or infertile pati...

Identifying new potential in cancer-killing T cells
When Joanina Gicobi began her Ph.D. degree five years ago at Mayo Clinic Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, she was interested in thinking creatively about ways to improve cancer treatment. In particular, she was curious about the body's natural ability to fight tumors: Could that process be improved? In the laboratory of Haidong Dong, M.D., Ph.D., sh e joined efforts to learn more about the T cells that are part of an inherent cancer-killing immune response. Joanina Gicobi,… (Source: News from Mayo Clinic)

Pacific Heart, Lung & Blood Institute Is Dissolving
The Pacific Heart, Lung & Blood Institute in Los Angeles, California, will be permanently closing after more than two decades of work to develop treatments for rare cancers such as mesothelioma as well as diseases of the heart, lungs, and blood.
Since 2002, the mission of the nonprofit organization has focused on creating hope through research and education. The Pacific Mesothelioma Center, which has been a division of the PHLBI since 2012, has been working to improve the lives of mesothelioma patients by sharing information about malignant pleural mesothelioma and conducting research in hopes of finding a cure.

Lunit unveils clinical study results showing prognostic insights for colon cancer
Lunit reported results of a South Korean clinical study showing how its Lunit SCOPE IO tissue analytics software helped predict the prognosis of patients with stage II-III colon cancer who were treated with curative surgery and adjuvant therapy. Lunit SCOPE IO is a deep learning-based tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) analyzer comprised of two complementary learning models developed for cell detection and tissue segmentation. It analyzes the tumor microenvironment based on hematoxylin and eosin analysis, a common laboratory technique used in research to provide a detailed view of tissue architecture, and provides AI-base...
