Patient-led surveillance shows promise for melanoma care: Melanoma patients using their smart phone to submit images of lesions to their specialists appears to be a safe and convenient form of follow-up after treatment. University of Queensland and University of Sydney researchers assessed data from 100 patients who used their phone, had a partner help with […]

Knee joint osteoarthritis injections “no better than placebo”: Injections of platelet-rich plasma are no better than placebo for helping reduce knee pain in people with knee joint osteoarthritis, an Australian clinical trial led by researchers at the University of Melbourne, University of Sydney and Monash University has found. Knee joint arthritis affects more than two […]

Prompt initiation of antiretroviral therapy reduces cancer risk in HIV patients: HIV patients have an increased risk of developing skin and mucosal cancers, even though HIV is no longer detectable in their blood due to antiretroviral therapy. A new study by MedUni Vienna’s Department of Dermatology, the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Rare and Undiagnosed Diseases […]

Almost every human cell teems with a potpourri of tiny powerhouses: mitochondria. Up to thousands of them. These organelles use oxygen to convert the nutrients from the food you eat into a form of energy the body can use. The brain consumes a lot of this energy — about 20 percent. Could changes in mitochondria, […]
