Wissenschaftlern und Medizinern der Westsächsischen Hochschule Zwickau (WHZ), des Heinrich-Braun-Klinikums Zwickau (HBK) und des Universitätsklinikums Magdeburg ist es gelungen, Hirntumorzellen durch die Behandlung mit physikalischem Plasma abzutöten. Durch das Verfahren soll es möglich werden, Hirnhauttumore restlos zu entfernen. Hirntumore stellen sowohl Patienten als auch die behandelnden Ärzte vor große Herausforderungen. Durch ihr verdrängendes oder invasives Wachstum können sie erhebliche neurologische Beschwerden nach sich ziehen und unter Umständen auch das Leben bedrohen. Die komplette Entfernung eines Hirntumors ist leider nicht immer, ohne die Gesundheit des Patienten zu gefährden, möglich. Verbliebene Tumorreste erhöhen aber die Wahrscheinlichkeit eines erneuten Tumorwachstums. Genau an diesem Punkt setzen Prof. Dr. Maik Fröhlich von der Westsächsischen Hochschule Zwickau (WHZ) und die Mediziner PD Dr. Michael Luchtmann und Dirar Aldabek vom Heinrich-Braun-Klinikum Zwickau (HBK) sowie Prof. Dr. Christian Mawrin und Peter John vom Institut für Neuropathologie des Universitätsklinikums… 

In this preliminary descriptive report from an ongoing randomized clinical trial, one additional high-grade cancer per 196 men and one low-grade cancer per 909 men were detected among those randomized to be invited to undergo a single prostate cancer screening intervention compared with those not invited to undergo screening. These preliminary findings from a single round of screening should be interpreted cautiously, pending results of the study’s primary mortality outcome.

Recurrent Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) can be prevented for up to nine years in more than half of people given an oral spray-based vaccine and is a potential alternative to antibiotic treatments, finds research. Initial results from the first long-term follow-up study of the safety and effectiveness of the MV140 vaccine for recurrent UTIs are presented this weekend at the European Association of Urology (EAU) Congress in Paris. They show that in both men and women with recurrent UTIs, 54% of study participants remained UTI-free for nine years after the vaccine, with no notable side effects reported. Full results of the study are expected to be published by the end of 2024.

Exposure to secondhand smoke – even at small amounts – is linked with greater risk of a serious heart rhythm disorder, according to research presented at EHRA 2024, a scientific congress of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC). The likelihood of atrial fibrillation increased as the duration of passive smoking lengthened. “The dangers of secondhand smoke were significant regardless of whether individuals were at home, outdoors, or at work, indicating that exposure universally elevates the risk of atrial fibrillation,” said study author Dr. Kyung-Yeon Lee of Seoul National University Hospital, Seoul, Republic of Korea. “We should all make every effort to avoid spending time in smoky environments. The findings should also drive policymakers to further curb smoking in public areas and support smoking cessation programmes to improve public health.” https://esc365.escardio.org/EHRA-Congress/sessions/10100

An experimental treatment could further lower triglycerides in the blood, according to a placebo-controlled and double-blind trial led by researchers at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, a founding member of the Mass General Brigham healthcare system. Results were presented at the 2024 American College of Cardiology’s Annual Scientific Session & Expo and simultaneously published in the New England Journal of Medicine. The trial randomized 154 adults on lipid-lowering therapy with moderate or severe hypertriglyceridemia to receive either 50mg olezarsen, 80mg olezarsen or placebo. Olezarsen is an antisense oligonucleotide that inhibits APOC3, a gene associated with higher levels of triglycerides, by targeting its mRNA. The subcutaneous medication was administered every four weeks, for a period of a year. Olezarsen reduced triglyceride levels by 49% at the 50mg dose and 53% at the 80mg dose, compared with placebo. The experimental drug also reduced…
