12 Innovations That Will Change Health Care and Medicine in the 2020s
Pocket-size ultrasound devices that cost 50 times less than the machines in hospitals (and connect to your phone). Virtual reality that speeds healing in rehab. Artificial intelligence that’s better than medical experts at spotting lung tumors. These are just some of the innovations now transforming medicine at a remarkable pace. No one can predict the future, but it can at least be glimpsed in the dozen inventions and concepts below. Like the people behind them, they stand at the vanguard of health care. Neither exhaustive nor exclusive, the list is, rather, representative of the recasting of public health and medic...

Alterations of the Gut Microbiota Associated With Promoting Efficacy of Prednisone by Bromofuranone in MRL/lpr Mice
This study addressed the effect of bromofuranone on the treatment of SLE with prednisone, since bromofuranone could regulate gut microbiota by inhibiting the AI-2/LuxS quorum-sensing. Remarkably, bromofuranone did not alleviate lupus but promoted the efficacy of prednisone in the treatment of lupus. The alterations in the gut microbiota, including decreased Mucispirillum, Oscillospira, Bilophila and Rikenella, and increased Anaerostipes, were associated with prednisone treatment for SLE. In addition, the increase of Lactobacillus, Allobaculum, Sutterella, and Adlercreutzia was positively associated with the bromofuranone-m...

The Current Evidence on the Association Between the Urinary Microbiome and Urinary Incontinence in Women
This study also found that Proteus DNA, a genus with many uropathogenic species (Drzewiecka, 2016), was more prevalent in women with OAB compared to asymptomatic controls (Curtiss et al., 2017). IC A recent study by Abernethy et al. suggested that the microbiome may play a role in IC (Abernethy et al., 2017). In this study, 16S rRNA analysis determined the microbiome of catheterized urine from women (n = 40) with IC was not dominated by a single genus and was less likely to contain Lactobacillus compared to asymptomatic women. Abernethy et al. also showed that L. acidophilus was associated with less severe scores on the ...

Myelodysplastic Syndrome-Associated SRSF2 Mutations Cause Splicing Changes by Altering Binding Motif Sequences
In this study, we characterized MDS-associated SRSF2 mutants (P95H, P95L, and P95R). We found that those mutants and wild-type SRSF2 proteins showed nuclear localization in HeLa cells. In vitro splicing reaction also revealed that mutant proteins associated with both precursor and spliced mRNAs, suggesting that the mutants directly participate in splicing. We established the human myeloid leukemia K562 cell lines that stably expressed myc-tagged wild-type or mutant SRSF2 proteins, and then performed RNA-sequence to analyze the splicing pattern of each cell line. The results revealed that both wild-type and mutants affected...

Combining Sparse Group Lasso and Linear Mixed Model Improves Power to Detect Genetic Variants Underlying Quantitative Traits
We present efficient algorithms for hyperparameter tuning and feature selection using stability selection. While controlling for confounders and constraining for sparse solutions, SGL-LMM also provides a natural framework for incorporating prior biological information into the group structure underlying the model. Results based on both simulated and real data show SGL-LMM outperforms previous approaches in terms of power to detect associations and accuracy of quantitative trait prediction. 1. Introduction Quantitative traits are important in medicine, agriculture, and evolution but, until recently, few polymorphism...

Study shows how exercise generates new neurons, improves cognition in Alzheimer's disease
A study by a Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) research team finds that neurogenesis -inducing the production of new neurons - in the brain structure in which memories are encoded can improve cognitive function in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease.Research team identifies way to mimic exercise's beneficial effects through pharmacologic and gene therapy."The lesson learned was that it is not enough just to turn on the birth of new nerve cells, you must simultaneously 'clean up' the neighborhood in which they are being born to make sure the new cells survive and thrive.Exercise can achieve that, but we found ways of mi...

Kink: The Love that Dare Not Speak Its Name, Even in Therapy
If you search, you’ll find that “BDSM Coach” is an actual job title on LinkedIn. The largest international convention in middle America is the International Mr. Leather contest, which brings together over 20,000 kinky attendees from all over the world. Nearly six million members belong to Fetlife, a Facebook-like online social network for folks into fetishes. Even Harvard University has a formally recognized student-run BDSM club. So why does it seem that so many psychotherapists did not get the memo on working in a culturally competent way with this established sexual subculture? “The fact is kinky desires were &#...
