Hackensack Meridian Jersey Shore University Medical Center and Hackensack University Medical Center are the only New Jersey hospitals to achieve the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization’s (ELSO) Gold Level Center of Excellence in Life Support Award.
An international team of researchers has uncovered evidence of partial resistance to artemisinin derivatives — the primary treatment for malaria — in young children with severe malaria.
Researchers at UC San Diego and their colleagues have developed an optical biosensor that detects the virus that causes mpox. The technology could make diagnosis much faster and cost-effective as the disease continues to spread worldwide.
Researchers have identified new roles for a protein long known to protect against severe flu infection – among them, raising the minimum number of viral particles needed to cause sickness.
Rutgers Health study uncovers vulnerabilities in drug-resistant TB, offering hope for improved treatments.
A new book, Nurses’ Extraordinary Experiences During the COVID-19 Pandemic: There was Something in the Air, offers a poignant and firsthand account of the challenges and triumphs faced by nurses during the most devastating pandemic of our generation.
The Association for Molecular Pathology published a joint consensus report with the Association of Public Health Laboratories that reviews and summarizes standard concepts and best practices for next-generation sequencing methods for SARS-CoV-2 genomic surveillance.
These miniature immune system models — known as human immune organoids — mimic the real-life environment where immune cells learn to recognize and attack harmful invaders and respond to vaccines. Not only are these organoids powerful new tools for studying and observing immune function in cancer, their use is likely to accelerate vaccine development, better predict disease treatment response for patients, and even speed up clinical trials.
Researchers from Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences and Duke University have developed a promising vaccine offering strong protection against chlamydia. The study, published in npj Vaccines, shows that a whole-cell vaccine protected mice from infections, helping them clear the bacteria faster and with fewer infections, potentially reviving debates on chlamydia prevention.

Whooping cough is making a comeback, and medical providers say the highly contagious bacterial infection that causes severe coughing fits is preventable. During the COVID-19 pandemic, whooping cough, also known as pertussis, declined dramatically.
Below are summaries of recent Fred Hutch Cancer Center research findings, patient stories and other news.
Dr. Seong-Jun Kim’s team from the Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology (KRICT) recently reported in a research paper that the rapid proliferation of COVID-19 is due to altered roles of mitochondria (responsible for energy production in human cells) and EGFR (responsible for growth signal transmission in cells).
A new study led by Rutgers Health researchers has uncovered important insights into vaccination patterns among LGBTQ+ adults in New Jersey and New York. The findings, published in the journal Vaccine, shed light on disparities in vaccine uptake within this diverse population.
The supply of healthcare professionals available to provide HIV care continues to decline, even as the need for HIV care and prevention is expected to increase, reports a survey study in the November/December issue of The Journal of the Association of Nurses in AIDS Care (JANAC). The official journal of the Association of Nurses in AIDS Care, JANAC is published in the Lippincott portfolio by Wolters Kluwer.
A concerning increase in global rates of severe invasive infections becoming resistant to key antibiotics has a team of infectious disease researchers at the Houston Methodist Research Institute studying a recently emerged strain of bacteria called Streptococcus dysgalactiae subspecies equisimilis (SDSE). SDSE infects humans via the skin, throat, gastrointestinal tract and female genital tract to cause infections ranging in severity from strep throat (pharyngitis) to necrotizing fasciitis (flesh-eating disease).
Expanded protocols promote early detection in high-risk patients and prevent hospital outbreaks of Candida auris
