Cancer Vaccine Offers Hope for Personalized Treatment

Excitement is building among patients and researchers as a groundbreaking cancer vaccine enters its final phase of testing. In what could be considered a gamechanger, doctors have begun trialing the world’s first personalized mRNA cancer vaccine for melanoma, with promising results.

Melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer affecting around 132,000 people annually worldwide, currently relies primarily on surgery as its main treatment. However, experts are now testing custom-built vaccines that can effectively target and eliminate individual patients’ specific cancer cells to prevent the disease from recurring.

The initial phase 2 trial showed remarkable success in reducing the risk of melanoma recurrence in patients who received these personalized mRNA vaccines. As a result, a larger phase 3 trial has been launched under the leadership of University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (UCLH).

Effective measures and increased participation of those affected have been implemented to combat noise pollution

Vienna (OTS) – “Noise can not only be annoying or disruptive, it can also make you sick. Traffic noise in particular is cited by many Austrians as the most common source of noise,” says Hermann Weratschnig, transport spokesman for the Green Party, speaking today against noise.

“The negative effects on health do not just depend on the volume. Even at lower levels, noise causes stress, sleep disorders, affects concentration and can also affect the cardiovascular system. Those affected who live near busy roads, railway lines or even flight route

Deadly disease in US forests: Hunters die after eating “zombie” deer meat

Von Hedviga Nyarsik 26.04.2024, 18:21 Uhr

An insidious disease is spreading in North America: it makes deer and deer look like zombies. Apathetic and drooling, the animals drag themselves through the forests until they die. There are now initial indications that the “zombie disease” can also affect people.

They stagger around listlessly, drooling and getting thinner and thinner until they finally die: deer in North America suffer from a brain disease that is very reminiscent of BSE in cattle. Because of the symptoms, researchers and US media speak of the “zombie deer disease”. Scientifically, the fatal disease of the central nervous system is called Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD). So far, CWD has spread among deer, elk and reindeer. But now there are initial reports that the disease may also affect humans.

A team of doctors from the University of Texas describes in the Journal “Neurology” the case of two hunters who died after eating wild meat from a deer population affected by CWD. Accordingly, one of the men appeared confused and aggressive be

The artificial intelligence (AI) It is coming to stay and revolutionize all types of areas, such as health. Within this sector, new ones are emerging in Spain star-ups whose objective is to create technological solutions that take advantage of AI to introduce improvements in mental healthboth for patients and professionals.

Among the latest milestones related to mental health and AI is MoodCapture, an application that can help detect mental health illnesses by analyzing several facial photographs of the patient. The creators, a group of scientists from the Dartmouth Universitythey assure that this tool can notice mental illnesses even before the person themselves realizes that they may be suffering fr

You recognize this: Picky kids at the grocery store wanting to get what they want? Children who always want to be the center of attention? Teenagers acting like caterpillars are never enough; constantly complain about what others get and can do, and they can’t? Teenagers who don’t want to help around the house, don’t do their homework or are noisy with their parents and/or teachers? So be careful: with all our good intentions, we can also be good parents for our children.

Children should be happy, right? “Look, what a happy egg,” I regularly hear people say. Researchers measure happiness to gauge how well young people are doing. When children aren’t happy, we worry. If things are not going well at school, or they are behaving inappropriately, we seek help. We currently provide youth care to an average of one in ten children.

Too much is not enough

They often follow labels that suggest that the problem lies with our children and that we adults need to run even fast

“You have to put up with Madame”: This is what Odile Amblard has heard too often from some of the doctors she consulted for her tinnitus. Without ever being satisfied with such an answer. And comes out of the meetings even more demoralized. At 44, the Charentaise native, who has lived in Quimper for a year, talks openly about his “medical obstacle course”. A journey, started two and a half years ago.

“After clubbing”

By then, tinnitus had been part of his life for a long time. “I’ve had it since I was very young,” she confirms. They appear around 18-19 years old, “most of the time, after going to clubs or bars”.
