Blood proteins flag multiple sclerosis years before diagnosis, opening a window for prevention
Of more than 2,500 blood proteins screened, a small group may drive MS and signal who will develop itA new study has revealed a group of blood proteins that are altered in people who go on to develop multiple sclerosis (MS), in some cases more than a decade before diagnosis. The findings offer hope that a simple blood test could one day identify people at high risk of MS in time to act before damage occurs.
鈥楯umping gene鈥� helps explain elevated pancreatic cancer risk in French-Canadians

Icing injuries may slow recovery and prolong pain, study finds
Icing a sprained ankle or sore muscle, long used to reduce pain and swelling, may in the longer run delay recovery and prolong pain, new research suggests.
In a preclinical study published in Anesthesiology, 成人VR视频 researchers found that even though cryotherapy (icing) eased pain in the short term, recovery time was more than doubled in some cases.
