One of the most important factors to consider before buying a new pair of walking or running shoes is their level of arch support. It’s a feature podiatrists constantly talk about, as “proper arch support is important for providing stability and alignment, which will help support your body from the ground up,” said Dr. Janine Ferrigno-Taddeo, DPM, podiatrist and vice president of Millburn Podiatry Group, PC, in a previous EatingWell article.  This is especially true if you have conditions such as plantar fasciitis, chronic foot pain or fat pad atrophy, although this list could go on. Oftentimes, however, shoes that…

Although embryonic stem cells (ESCs) have been successfully derived from mice and rats, efforts to establish chimeric and germline-competent ESC lines in species beyond rodents have been unsuccessful. Now, new research has identified a key component to cultivating bird ESCs in the lab; a medium of egg yolk—and other key factors—allowed a USC Stem Cell-led team to successfully derive and maintain authentic ESCs from chickens and seven other bird species. These bird ESCs hold promise for applications ranging from studying embryonic development to producing lab-grown poultry to reviving endangered or even extinct birds. The study appears in the paper “Derivation…

Credit: chaikom/Getty Images An artificial intelligence tool developed by the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute (MCRI) and The Royal Children’s Hospital (RCH), Australia, can detect tiny, otherwise undetectable brain lesions in children with drug-resistant epilepsy, that could provide faster diagnosis, improved surgical planning, and better outcomes for young patients. Published in the journal Epilepsia, the technology combines MRI-based detection with positron emission tomography (PET) and AI to accurately detect bottom-of-sulcus dysplasia (BOSD), a form of focal cortical dysplasia (FCD). “Identifying the cause early lets us tailor treatment options and helps neurosurgeons plan and navigate surgery,” said the study’s first author Emma…

When Erica Barnell was an MD/PhD student at Washington University in St. Louis, she met a woman who had stage four colorectal cancer (CRC). The woman was only 52 years old—more than a decade younger than the median age of a person who receives a CRC diagnosis, which is 68 years old.1 She had not been screened for colon cancer because she couldn’t take time off work and was busy with her kids.Colon cancer screenings can help detect cancer early, which leads to better treatment outcomes than late detection. “There’s an ample window of opportunity to intervene,” said Paul Limburg,…
