Cervical artery dissection is a tear in an artery in the neck that provides blood flow to the brain. Such a tear can result in blood clots that cause stroke. A new study has found almost a five-fold increase in the number of U.S. hospitalizations for cervical artery dissection over a 15-year period. The study … Read more
According to a recent study at the University of Jyväskylä, Finland, the impacts of everyday physical activity do not attenuate the accelerated hormonal bone loss that occurs during menopause. Effective bone-loading impacts are rare in everyday life. Future research should explore whether more targeted exercise can slow menopausal bone loss. The study suggests that impacts … Read more
A recent study published in Engineering has shed new light on the mechanisms underlying the metastasis of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). The research identified enolase 2 (ENO2), a crucial glycolytic enzyme, as a significant factor associated with lymphatic metastasis in HNSCC. HNSCC is an aggressive cancer with a relatively low 5-year overall survival … Read more
