[ad_1] Researchers have developed a new machine-learning model to detect  cancers that are in their early stages of disease by examining DNA fragments from cancer cells in the blood. A University of Wisconsin­–Madison research team was able to detect cancer in the bloodstream in most of the samples tested, it said.  Muhammed Murtaza, professor of surgery at the UW School of Medicine and Public Health based in Madison, Wisconsin, led the study, which was published recently in Science Translational Medicine, a medical journal from the American Association for the Advancement of Science, according to the study’s press release.   KIRSTIE ALLEY'S ‘RECENTLY DISCOVERED’ COLON CANCER BATTLE: WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT THE DISEASE "We’re incredibly excited to discover that early detection and monitoring of multiple cancer types are potentially feasible using such a cost-effective approach," said Murtaza in the press release.  Earlier detection of many cancers will lead to better ou

[ad_1] Beth Mooney scored an unbeaten 61 as Australia chased down 154 to win by four wickets with one ball remaining. -Dan Mullan/Getty Images In a thrilling encounter at Edgbaston, Beth Mooney guided the Australian women's cricket team to a dramatic T20 victory against England. The T20 world champions faced a formidable challenge as England came tantalizingly close to defeating them, only for Australia to chase down the target of 154 with just one ball to spare. As the match approached its nail-biting climax, England captain Heather Knight entrusted Sophie Ecclestone, considered the best bowler in the world, with the final over. Australia required five runs from it. Annabel Sutherland started the over by driving the first ball for four, but Ecclestone quickly recovered, saving the single with a diving effort. However, Sutherland's subsequent shot resulted in a tricky high catch taken by Amy Jones. The tension mounted as Georgia Wareham punched the next ball through cov

[ad_1] Many individuals use medicine to control their hypertension, which is excessive blood pressure that can lead to a heart attack or stroke. This form of high blood pressure, known as apparent resistant hypertension (aRH), demands extra medication and medical care. Researchers at Cedars-Sinai's Smidt Heart Institute discovered that, while aRH prevalence was lower in a real-world sample than previously assumed, it was still very frequent, impacting roughly one in every ten hypertension patients.  The findings were published today in the peer-reviewed journal Hypertension. Researchers observed that those with well-controlled aRH were more likely to be treated with a common medicine known as mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist, or MRA. "Apparent resistant hypertension is more common than many would anticipate," said Joseph Ebinger, MD, assistant professor of Cardiology in the Smidt Heart Institute and corresponding author of the study. "We also learned t

[ad_1] Comment on this story Comment It’s starting to be beach read season, which calls for addictively suspenseful, fast-paced books crammed with romance and action. But this spring, if you love science fiction and fantasy, four new books combine nonstop thrills with fascinating ideas that’ll keep you thinking long after you’ve devoured them. Nick Harkaway made his mark with bizarre romps like “The Gone-Away World” and “Angelmaker.” Now he’s changing things up with the gritty “ Titanium Noir ,” a hard-boiled detective story in the vein of Raymond Chandler, where detective Cal Sounder crashes like a wrecking ball through a world of privilege and secrets. In “Titanium Noir,” the ultrarich can stay young forever thanks to a miracle drug, but a side effect causes growth spurts that turns them into literal giants. Harkaway has a field day describing the enlarged bodies of the rich (though, alas, he occasionally spills over into fatphobia). Harkaway’s mastery of brutal fight scenes is

[ad_1] Comment on this story Comment When I left Houston in 2001 to move body, if not soul, to Washington, I insisted on a going-away party at Miss Ann’s Playpen, a neighborhood blues club on Dowling Street in the Third Ward. Miss Ann’s was my favorite place in town, maybe on Earth. It was where the community gathered every week, a bottle of Crown Royal on their table, to take the edge off with a Blue Monday jam session. It was where owner Bobby Lewis fried up fresh catfish for me one evening after I lost my job. It was where you could feel the ghost of Lightnin’ Hopkins, once the King of Dowling Street , still haunt the edges of the stage. Miss Ann’s is no more. It died years ago and has since been replaced by Club 3710, an upscale jazz lounge that sits on Emancipation Avenue, which is the name conferred upon the former Dowling Street once civic leaders could no longer stomach the idea of a Confederate officer with his own thoroughfare in the heart of the Third Ward.
