//www.puressens.com/ en-us provides the latest news from The Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth Published today in PLOS ONE, "Serial T-SPOT.TB responses in Tanzanian adolescents: transient, persistent and irregular conversions," investigators from the Geisel School of Medicine and Muhimibili University of Health and Allied Sciences (MUHAS) report high rates of new tuberculosis (TB) infection among adolescents in Tanzania. Multiple blood tests for TB infection were conducted over three years in 650 schoolchildren age 13-15 and showed that the risk of acquiring new TB infection was 3 percent per year. In addition, by performing six or more blood tests on each volunteer with an interferon gamma release assay (IGRAs) the study team identified new patterns of transition between positive and negative IGRA tests for TB infection.//www.puressens.com/news/2022-06-team-tuberculosis-infection-adolescents-tanzania.html Diseases, Conditions, Syndromes Fri, 24 Jun 2022 15:54:10 EDT news575304845 研究人员从一项新的研究发现,由Dartmouth's Geisel School of Medicine and published in JAMA Neurology, show that higher death rates have been associated with the COVID-19 pandemic among older adults with cognitive impairment—especially in racial and ethnic minority populations and those living in nursing homes.//www.puressens.com/news/2022-02-higher-death-older-adults-cognitive.html Alzheimer's disease & dementia Mon, 28 Feb 2022 13:00:01 EDT news565275201 A new study by researchers at Dartmouth, Carnegie Mellon University, the University of Pittsburgh, and the Lisa Schwartz Foundation for Truth in Medicine, published this week in JAMA Internal Medicine, shows that people using COVID home test kits may fail to self-quarantine or may quarantine unnecessarily because they misinterpret the implications of test results.//www.puressens.com/news/2022-01-consumers-results-at-home-covid-.html Diseases, Conditions, Syndromes Mon, 31 Jan 2022 11:09:01 EDT news562849738 Findings from a new study conducted jointly at Dartmouth's Geisel School of Medicine and Harvard Medical School, and published in Health Services Research, highlight the statistical drawbacks of one form of analysis commonly used in health services research while demonstrating the benefits of another.//www.puressens.com/news/2021-11-reveals-flaws-statistical-approach-health.html ob欧宝直播nba Wed, 17 Nov 2021 15:50:39 EDT news556386632 A new Dartmouth-led study published in Pediatric Research has found a direct and sex-specific association between the composition of infant microbiome and early childhood behavioral health.//www.puressens.com/news/2021-11-insights-infant-microbiome-impacts-early.html ob体育开户网址 Thu, 04 Nov 2021 13:00:05 EDT news555249599 A new Dartmouth-led study published this month in the New England Journal of Medicine sheds light on the role U.S. health systems play concerning racial inequality in prescription pain medicine receipt.//www.puressens.com/news/2021-07-explores-inequity-opioid-health.html Medications Wed, 21 Jul 2021 17:00:01 EDT news546091440 A new Dartmouth-led study, published this week in the journal Pediatrics, has found that the disproportionate use of premiums within child-targeted TV advertising for children's fast-food meals is deceptive.
