What do you know about malaria?: Each year nearly 290 million people are infected with malaria, and more than 400,000 people die of the disease.

newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/consumer-health-what-do-you-know-about-malaria-2/

Quick Glance: Combatting Malaria: Challenges and Solutions

Progress in reducing malaria has stalled in recent years, especially in African regions. Pregnant women, young children, and other vulnerable groups continue to have limited access to malaria services.

Infants and young children are disproportionately affected by malaria, especially in poorer households in sub-Saharan Africa. Pregnant women are at increased risk of malaria due to immunity loss.

Refugees, migrants, and indigenous peoples are also at higher risk of malaria and often lack access to necessary services.

Climate change and humanitarian emergencies contribute to making vulnerable populations more susceptible to malaria. Measures like combating discrimination and integrating malaria control interventions into universal health coverage can help achieve a malaria-free world.

Quick Glance: Efficacy of Stem Cell Therapy Shown Through Paralyzed Man's Progress

A man who faced paralysis from a surfing accident seven years ago can now independently stand and walk, thanks to a potentially groundbreaking stem cell treatment.

Chris Barr participated in a Mayo Clinic study where stem cells were harvested from his own stomach fat, multiplied to 100 million cells in a lab, and then introduced into his lumbar spine.

After five years post-treatment, Barr noted ongoing improvements in independence and walking speed.

The recent study outcomes, detailed in Nature Communications, revealed enhanced muscle strength and touch sensation in seven out of ten patients.

newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/new-heated-drug-baths-provide-hope-for-patients-with-stomach-cancer/

Quick Glance: New Approach Doubles Survival Rate for Stomach Cancer Patients

Mayo Clinic researchers utilized a novel chemotherapy technique to significantly increase the survival rate of patients with stomach cancer and peritoneal metastasis.

The study demonstrated that the combined use of cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) with cisplatin and paclitaxel led to improved survival outcomes.

The patients involved in the study were between 46 and 62 years old and had advanced stomach cancer with peritoneal metastasis. They received an average of seven cycles of chemotherapy prior to the surgery.

The research team aims to perform similar procedures robotically to enhance recovery and quality of life for patients, with the ultimate goal of preventing the spread of stomach cancer to the peritoneum.

New study finds triple-negative breast cancer tumors with an increase in immune cells have lower risk of recurrence after surgery

newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/new-study-finds-triple-negative-breast-cancer-tumors-with-an-increase-in-immune-cells-have-lower-risk-of-recurrence-after-surgery/

Quick Glance: Study Reveals Lower Recurrence Risk in Breast Cancer with More Immune Cells

A new study suggests that individuals with early-stage triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and high levels of immune cells in their tumors may have a lower risk of recurrence and better survival rates even without chemotherapy.

The presence of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) in breast tissue proved to be a prognostic biomarker for people with early-stage triple-negative breast cancer, even in the absence of chemotherapy.

Patients with high TILs showed favorable outcomes even without chemotherapy, potentially inspiring future clinical trials to avoid intensive chemotherapy regimens.

The results could lead to incorporating TILs in pathology reports of early-stage TNBC globally to inform clinicians and patients when discussing treatment options, without incurring additional costs.

Quick Glance: White House Responds to 'Dishonest' Republican Criticism of Biden's Transgender Proclamation on Easter

The White House is pushing back against misleading criticism from top Republicans of President Joe Biden for issuing a proclamation in support of transgender people on Easter.

A spokesman for the president rejected attacks from the House speaker and others claiming Biden's message for the Transgender Day of Visibility contradicts Christianity.

Biden has issued a proclamation marking March 31 as the Transgender Day of Visibility every year since taking office in 2021.

Biden allies are also challenging the attacks and highlighting that the criticism this Easter weekend also involves an egg art contest for the annual Easter Egg Roll at the White House.
