Obesity risk genes make people feel hungrier and lose control over their eating, but practicing dietary restraint could counteract this. New research by University of Exeter, Exeter Clinical Research Facility, and University of Bristol published in the International Journal of Epidemiology found that those with higher genetic risk of obesity can reduce the effects that are transmitted via hunger and uncontrolled eating by up to half through dietary restraint. Psychology Ph.D. student, Shahina Begum, from the University of Exeter is lead author and said, “At a time when high calorie foods are aggressively marketed to us, it’s more important than ever to understand how genes influence BMI. We already know that these genes impact traits and behaviors such as hunger and emotional eating, but what makes this study different is that we tested the influence of two types of dietary restraint—rigid and flexible—on the effect of these behaviors.” “What we ...
Horizon Therapeutics has shared positive new MRI data from a late-stage study of Uplizna (inebilizumab-cdon) in patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD). Approximately one to ten per 100,000 people are affected by NMOSD, a rare and debilitating autoimmune disease characterised by inflammatory lesions that primarily damage the optic nerve and spinal cord. Most patients experience unpredictable relapses that reoccur after days, months or even years and may lead to further disability. Uplizna is the first and only CD19+ B-cell-depleting therapy approved by the US Food and Drug Administration and European Commission to treat NMOSD in adults who are AQP4-IgG positive. Around 80% of all patients with NMOSD test positive for anti-AQP4 antibodies. A new analysis of MRI data from the phase 3 N-MOmentum trial, presented by Horizon at this year’s Congress of the European Academy of Neurology in Budapest, shows that Uplizna effectively reduced the formation of subclinical (asymptomatic) ...
SUZHOU, China, July 7, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Transcenta Holding Limited (“Transcenta”) (HKEX: 06628), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company with fully-integrated capabilities in discovery, research, development and manufacturing of antibody-based therapeutics, announces that it has received approvals from China CDE (Center for Drug Evaluation) and South Korea MFDS (Ministry of Food and Drug Safety) to initiate TranStar 301 global Phase III pivotal trial of Osemitamab (TST001) in combination with Nivolumab and chemotherapy for the first-line treatment of patients with HER2 negative, CLDN18.2 expressing locally advanced or metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal (G/GEJ) adenocarcinoma.

Gastric cancer (GC) is the 4th leading cause of cancer death worldwide, accounting for about 7.7% of all cancer related mortality. The five year survival rate for gastric cancer is still around 30%. Nivolumab, an anti-PD-1 antibody, has been approved globally for the first line treatment ...
Dive Brief The Federal Trade Commission has intervened in a legal case to correct what it called “erroneous assertions and mistaken legal points” made by Medtronic. In an amicus brief filed Monday, the FTC rebuts aspects of Medtronic’s defense against accusations made by Applied Medical Resources in an antitrust case. The FTC has taken no position on the accuracy of the allegations but filed the brief because it said Medtronic made “wrong” arguments with “broad implications for antitrust enforcement” in its filing to dismiss Applied’s claims. Dive Insight Applied Medical filed a lawsuit against Medtronic earlier this year. The manufacturer of bipolar energy devices accused Medtronic of conspiring to bundle devices for cutting tissue and sealing vessels “in a way that is unhealthy for competition, hospitals, and patients in need of medical treatment.” Medtronic called the claims “baseless” and moved to dismiss the case. The argument for dismissing the case ...
A major clinical trial has found a simple change to world practice for kidney transplants could deliver real benefits for recipients and reduce their need for dialysis by 25 per cent. The BEST-Fluids trial was conducted by the Australasian Kidney Trials Network (AKTN) in collaboration with researchers from The University of Queensland, The University of Adelaide, and The University of Sydney. ATKN chair and UQ Professor David Johnson said the trial assessed the use of an intravenous fluid containing sodium, potassium, magnesium and chloride in proportions similar to human blood – instead of the usual practice of using normal saline (sodium chloride and water). David Johnson, UQ Professor, said, “Of those study participants who received intravenous Plasma-Lyte 148, 30 per cent needed dialysis after their transplants, compared to 40 per cent for those given normal saline. This is a significant improvement in outcomes for those undergoing kidney transplant surgery.” Royal ...
Reviewed by Danielle Ellis University of Queensland research has found verbal and physical abuse of medical receptionists by patients is rife, and causing lasting harm. Dr Fiona Willer from UQ’s Centre for Community Health and Wellbeing led a review of 20 studies across five countries, analysing aggression faced by receptionists in medical clinics and doctor’s surgeries. Our findings show receptionists are frequently subjected to verbal abuse from patients such as shouting, swearing, accusatory language and racist and sexist insults. They also face armed and unarmed physical violence. Patient aggression towards medical receptionists is so frequent it’s become accepted as a normal workplace hazard, which is extremely concerning.” Dr Fiona Willer from UQ’s Centre for Community Health and Wellbeing The research found the behavior severely affected the receptionists’ health and wellbeing. “They reported workplace stress, absenteeism, burnout, lasting psychological trauma and even physical harm,” Dr Willer said. “Only a small proportion ...
Poor air quality affects mental health in many ways, according to a new review of evidence published in the British Journal of Psychiatry. Led by Professor Kam Bhui at the University of Oxford’s Department of Psychiatry, researchers in the BioAirNet program, analyzed existing studies looking at the effects of both indoor and outdoor air pollution across the life course, from birth and pregnancy, to adolescence and adulthood. They found evidence that exposure to air pollutants may lead to depression, anxiety, psychoses, and perhaps even neurocognitive disorders, such as dementia. There were also indications that children and adolescents might be exposed to air pollution at critical stages in their mental development making them at risk of the most severe impact and significant future mental health problems. Additional risk factors included poor housing, over-crowding, poverty, a lack of green spaces as well as individual social and psychological vulnerabilities, such as lack of ...
Dive Brief Medtronic has found a cybersecurity vulnerability in an optional messaging feature in its Paceart Optima cardiac device data workflow system and reported the problem to the U.S. Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency. Medtronic has not observed any unauthorized access or patient harm related to the issue, the device maker said in an emailed statement. The company said it has notified healthcare delivery organizations about the vulnerability and has provided them with instructions to eliminate it. Dive Insight The number of data breaches in healthcare continues to climb as the industry has become a prime target for cyber criminals who seek to access its troves of patient information. As more connected medical devices make their way into patient homes, ransomware, phishing and software vulnerabilities are among the biggest challenges facing the sector. Medtronic’s Paceart Optima software application, which runs on a hospital’s Windows server, collects cardiac device data from ...
Global efforts to reduce infectious disease rates must have a greater focus on older children and adolescents after a shift in disease burden onto this demographic, according to a new study. The research, led by Murdoch Children’s Research Institute and the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, has found that infectious disease control has largely focused on children aged under five, with scarce attention on young people between five and 24 years old. Published in The Lancet, the study found three million children and adolescents die from infectious diseases every year, equivalent to one death every 10 seconds. It looked at data across 204 countries between 1990 and 2019 from birth to 24 years of age. Diarrhea, pneumonia and malaria account for two-thirds of infectious diseases and death among children and adolescents. HIV and tuberculosis were the leading causes among older adolescents. The shift in infectious disease burden from young ...
