Acupuncture relieves pain in emergency patients: Study
Led by RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia, the study found acupuncture was as effective as pain medicine in providing long-term relief for patients who came to emergency in considerable pain.
Investigation tests drug to activate immune system, help fight cancer
The Efficacy and Metabolism of Azonafide Antibody-Drug Conjugates (ADCs) in Microgravity investigation seeks to activate immunogenic cell death within the cancer cells, which should kill the cancer and prevent the
Dryland cropping systems research addresses future drought and hunger issues

NSAIDs improve survival for certain colorectal cancer patients, study shows
The study further suggests that NSAIDs such as aspirin, ibuprofen and naproxen have a particularly advantageous effect when taken after diagnosis by colorectal, or CRC, patients without tumor mutation in
Quality of early family relationships affects children’s mental health
This doctoral study in the field of psychology set out to investigate, firstly, how families change and reorganise during the transition to parenthood and, secondly, the consequences the early family
Passive smoking in childhood linked to rheumatoid arthritis
In a second study, the preliminary results of a meta-analysis showed that smoking is associated with increased progression of structural damage to the spine in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS).
New relapse prediction tool reduces cost of rheumatoid arthritis treatment
A combination of the multiple-biomarker disease activity (MBDA) score and anti-citrullinated protein (ACPA) status allowed the categorisation of different levels of relapse risk, which in turn may be used to
Genes explain higher prevalence of cardiovascular disease in chronic immune-mediated inflammatory diseases patients
Specific genetic loci (different positions on the chromosome) previously identified as being associated with CVD risk in the general population have been found to be significantly increased in association with
New effective treatments for psoriatic arthritis patients
New agents working on different inflammatory aspects of PsA are needed in the treatment of PsA patients living with this chronic immune-mediated disease, which involves both joint and skin symptoms.
Researchers seek biomarker to assess spinal muscular atrophy treatment

Lack of ‘editing’ in brain molecules potential driver of cancer
In a paper published in Nature Scientific Reports, the researchers say the finding is a ‘small but important’ step in our understanding of brain cancer progression, and raises possibility of
Laying the foundations for hybrid silicon lasers
Producing semiconductor lasers on a silicon wafer is a long-held goal for the electronics industry, but their fabrication has proved challenging. Now, researchers at A*STAR have developed an innovative way
Making wires of polymers chains
As conventional silicon-integrated circuits reach their lower size limit, new concepts are required such as molecular electronics — the use of electronic components comprised of molecular building blocks. Shuo-Wang Yang
