Myotonic dystrophy (DM) is inherited (passed from parent to biological child). Mutations (changes) in the DMPK gene cause myotonic dystrophy type 1, while mutations in the CNBP gene cause type 2. Similar changes in the structure of the DMPK and CNBP genes cause myotonic dystrophy type 1 and type 2. In each case, a segment of DNA is abnormally repeated many times, forming an unstable region in the gene. The more times the DNA is abnormally repeated, the more severe the symptoms of DM are. Scientific evidence suggests that excess messenger RNA generated from the abnormal DNA repeats is toxic and…

Medicines Options include: Medicines that target gene changes and improve how the CFTR protein works. These are called cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CTFR) modulators. Antibiotics to treat and prevent lung infections. Anti-inflammatory medicines to lessen swelling in the airways in the lungs. Mucus-thinning medicines, such as hypertonic saline, to help cough up mucus. This can improve lung function. Medicines breathed into the lungs called bronchodilators. These can help keep airways open by relaxing the muscles around the bronchial tubes. Pancreatic enzyme capsules taken…

Various studies have explored the reliability with which humans can visually detect gazes from other individuals. It is theorized that the ability to precisely detect the target of a starer's gaze has conferred an evolutionary advantage by improving threat detection capabilities, as well as facilitating nonverbal communication. Compared to the eyes of other animals, the uniquely visible and well-defined sclera and iris of human eyes provides further evidence of its evolutionary importance for the species, and are thought to have developed as humans became more reliant upon complex communicatio…

Documents known as the Torture Memos came to light a few years later. These documents, prepared by the United States Department of Justice in the months leading up to the 2003 invasion of Iraq, authorized certain "enhanced interrogation techniques" (generally considered to involve torture) of foreign detainees. The memoranda also argued that international humanitarian laws, such as the Geneva Conventions, did not apply to American interrogators overseas. Several subsequent U.S. Supreme Court decisions, including Hamdan v. Rumsfeld (2006), overturned Bush administration policy, ruling that the …

On the AI front, we're still in our infancy. Our use of AI has been mainly limited to surgical planning, where AI and sometimes 3D printing are used to create a model of the patient’s heart in advance of the procedure. This helps us visualize how a new valve might fit in the heart and how we can achieve the best results—by planning ahead. In the future, AI may help us perform safer surgeries. It may guide the surgeon as they operate, something like when you are driving a car, where you are still in control, but the car will tell you if you’re too close to another car and need to slow down. Sim…

Question Does consumption of caffeinated coffee have a beneficial, detrimental, or neutral effect on the risk of recurrent atrial fibrillation (AF) episodes? Findings In this multicenter randomized clinical trial including 200 patients with persistent AF undergoing cardioversion, the risk of recurrent AF was significantly lower in the group allocated to coffee consumption (47%) compared with the abstinence group (64%).
