Mashup Score: 1Which patient characteristics might contribute to poor recovery after hip replacement surgery? - 3 hour(s) ago
New research published in the Journal of Orthopaedic Research reveals that a patient’s muscle quality before total hip arthroplasty may predict their risk of suboptimal recovery after surgery.

Mashup Score: 15The antibiotic that takes the bite out of Lyme - 5 hour(s) ago
Piperacillin, an antibiotic in the same class as penicillin, effectively cured mice of Lyme disease at 100-times less than the effective dose of doxycycline, the current gold standard treatment. At such a low dose, piperacillin also had the added benefit of “having virtually no impact on resident gut microbes.”

Mashup Score: 5
A new study published in Evolution found that some rattlesnakes are producing simpler venoms containing fewer and more focused toxin families than complex venoms — a surprising discovery that challenges long-held ideas about how living alongside a variety of other species influences evolution in a world increasingly shaped by human activity.

Mashup Score: 1Astronomers discover a planet that’s rapidly disintegrating, producing a comet-like tail - 2 day(s) ago
A planet 140 light-years from Earth is rapidly coming apart due to its close proximity to its star. The roasting planet is effectively evaporating away: It sheds an enormous amount of surface minerals as it whizzes around its star.

Mashup Score: 1How activity in Earth’s mantle led the ancient ancestors of elephants, giraffes, and humans into Asia and Africa - 3 day(s) ago
What roils beneath the Earth’s surface may feel a world away, but the activity can help forge land masses that dictate ocean circulation, climate patterns, and even animal activity and evolution. In fact, scientists believe that a plume of hot rocks that burst from the Earth’s mantle millions of years ago could be an important part in the story of human evolution.

Mashup Score: 5While AI could be the game changer in predicting health outcomes it should not be the only method - 4 day(s) ago
With the advent of artificial intelligence (AI), predictive medicine is becoming an important part of healthcare, especially in cancer treatment. Predictive medicine uses algorithms and data to help doctors understand how a cancer might continue to grow or react to specific drugs—making it easier to target precision treatment for individual patients. Now, researchers at the Institute for Genome Sciences at the University of Maryland School of Medicine set a foundation in two commentaries out this week for going beyond AI to find the best treatments for patients, as well as ethically data sharing to promote reproducible science.

Hip replacement outcomes are not linked to OA severity, instead pts muscle quality before THA best predicts recovery after surgery. Imaging of 10 pts undergoing THA showed poor muscle quality predicted post-op performance/movement after surgery https://t.co/io0UXQl6n2 https://t.co/eI7u6BTPYx
