Follicular lymphoma (FL) is a type of blood cancer and a form of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Thanks to new breakthroughs in treatment, about 80% of FL patients have a survival rate of more than 10 years. The other 20%, however, experience a rapidly recurring or more aggressive version. Researchers from the University of Missouri School of Medicine may have found a way to identify patients at risk of relapse without the need for imaging and follow-up tests. We found over 10 genetic or molecular markers unique to patients whose FL cancer relapsed early. These biomarkers are usually genetic mutations, and…

If you’ve spent years—or even decades—trapped in the cycle of dieting, you probably know what it’s like to treat your body like a high-maintenance project. One factor that fuels this cycle is the fact that we have learned to view our bodies from outside in. When we’re on this hamster wheel, we often ask ourselves questions like, “How do I look in these jeans? Is my stomach flat enough? Does this angle make me look ‘healthy’?” I see this phenomenon every day in my clients and there is a name for it: self-objectification. While self-objectification is the silent thief of…
Scientists at Oregon Health & Science University have discovered a previously unknown system of internal “trade winds” that help cells rapidly move essential proteins to the front of the cell, reshaping the way researchers understand cell migration, cancer spread and wound healing. The discovery, published today in Nature Communications, reshapes what researchers thought they knew about how cells direct proteins to the right place at the right time. For decades, biology textbooks have taught that free-floating proteins inside cells move primarily by diffusion, drifting randomly until they reach their destination. But the new study shows that cells don’t leave this…

JLab Luxury HeadphonesThere are certain things that you don’t realize quietly let you down every day until you finally replace them, and for me, it was my audio. From headphones that wouldn’t stay in during practice to speakers that didn’t really fill the room like I wanted, I was constantly adjusting something, fixing something, or settling for something that was just fine. It wasn’t a huge problem in itself, but over time it started to affect my routine more than I realized. I also like to mix technology like this with my daily posts for easy lifestyle inspiration. Once I…

Family physicians who report feeling burned out are nearly 1.5 times more likely to change practices or stop practicing medicine altogether compared to their peers who don’t report burnout, according to a study by Weill Cornell Medicine researchers. Burnout can include emotional exhaustion, withdrawal from patients and colleagues, and a sense that work is no longer meaningful. The findings, published March 30 in JAMA Internal Medicine, also highlight the implications for patients: People who lose their family doctor may be more likely to visit the emergency room, spend more on health care and be less satisfied with their care than…
