Many patients with early-stage breast cancer receive costly, inappropriate testing
“Although ASCO Choosing Wisely guidelines recommend against routine surveillance testing, including advanced imaging for asymptomatic individuals with early-stage breast cancer who have undergone treatment, these costly procedures are frequently performed,”

Safe space for illegal drug consumption in Baltimore would save $6 million a year
It would also reduce overdose deaths, HIV and hepatitis C infections, overdose-related ambulance calls and hospitalizations — and bring scores of people into treatment, they found. Carefully monitored “safe consumption”

New way to control light with electric fields
“Our method is similar to the technique used to provide the computing capabilities of computers,” says Linyou Cao, an assistant professor of materials science and engineering at NC State and
Controlling 3-D behavior of biological cells using laser holographic techniques
Conventional optical manipulation techniques called “optical tweezers,” have been used as an invaluable tool for exerting micro-scale force on microscopic particles and manipulating three-dimensional (3-D) positions of particles. Optical tweezers
Unveiling the quantum necklace
The quest for these states begins with a doughnut, or rather, a doughnut-shaped container housing a rotating superfluid. This superfluid, which is a fluid that moves with no friction, is
Two genetic variants in bicuspid aortic valve development
In a new Nature Communications study, the Michigan Medicine-led group found two genetic variants associated with the condition. Bicuspid aortic valve is moderately heritable, yet experts are still figuring out
CRKL in 22q11.2; a key gene that contributes to common birth defects
Congenital genitourinary birth defects, whether they occur as part of a syndrome such as DiGeorge syndrome or as isolated congenital abnormalities, are among the most common types of birth defects.
Cellular stress in the brain may contribute to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
“Nearly 75 percent of obese adults experience non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. However, its underlying causes are unclear,” said Colin Young, Ph.D., senior author and assistant professor of pharmacology and physiology

Losing sleep over climate change
The study was led by Nick Obradovich, who conducted much of the research as a doctoral student in political science at the University of California San Diego. He was inspired
Preliminary: BRCA variations may work alongside COMT variation to reduce breast cancer
The data set looked at women who volunteered for non-cancer related clinical trials, leading researchers to believe they have not developed cancer or have a family history of cancer. “Not
The perils of publishing location data for endangered species
The authors highlight how increasingly, as in other fields experiencing so-called “dual use” dilemmas, researchers who publish on rare species with the goal of aiding conservation inadvertently end up fueling
