2025/07/07

In this week's episode, we explore the chronic inflammatory skin condition Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS). With HS, hair follicles located in large skin creases like the armpits become inflamed and clogged. The units, called the pilosebaceous unit, fill with puss, rupture, and cause a host of problems for sufferers. We investigate what hidradenitis suppurativa is, who it affects, what goes wrong in the body, and what's being done about it

When Life Gives You Limes, Solve Scurvy

MedEvidence Articles ·

2025/05/16

Scurvy, a disease caused by vitamin C deficiency, once killed thousands of sailors during long sea voyages. The breakthrough came in 1747 when Dr. James Lind conducted the first recorded clinical trial, proving citrus fruits could prevent the illness. British sailors were later issued lime juice, earning them the nickname “limeys.” Though now considered offensive by some, the term reflects an important medical milestone and the early use of evidence-based treatment.

2025/05/05

In this week's episode, we jump into the emerging field of personalized cancer vaccines. Cancer remains the second leading cause of death worldwide due to its complex nature. "Cancer" actually encompasses over 275 diseases, each driven by genetic mutations that make cancer cells act independently and harmfully within the body. Find out how scientists are using genetics to identify unique targets for individual people's cancers and using these targets to train our own immune system using cance...

2025/04/28

In this week's episode, we talk about vascular dementia, a significant yet often overlooked brain disorder caused by reduced blood flow, usually due to stroke and/or vascular disease. It accounts for 15-20% of dementia cases and leads to cognitive decline, memory loss, and motor impairments. While no cure exists, prevention is key—controlling risk factors like high blood pressure, diabetes, and smoking can significantly reduce the likelihood of developing the disease. Research suggests that p...

Why Measles Has Gone From Eradicated To Outbreak

MedEvidence Articles ·

2025/04/21

Measles a highly contagious virus that can cause serious complications, including pneumonia, brain swelling, and death. It was declared eradicated in the U.S. in the year 2000 but has resurfaced, with over 700 cases reported so far this year. What are the causes of this latest outbreak? Despite a long history of vaccine success, recent declines in MMR vaccination rates have made populations vulnerable again. Historically, vaccination efforts drastically reduced measles cases, but global trave...

2025/04/14

On this week, we discuss psoriasis, a chronic autoimmune disease affecting 2-3% of Americans. It's characterized by red, flaky skin and linked to serious health conditions like arthritis and cardiovascular disease. It results from an overactive immune response which may be initiated or worsened by environmental factors such as stress, obesity, and smoking. Inside the body, immune molecules -including T helper cells, interleukins, and TYK2 - are overactive and lead to excessive skin cell produ...

A New Type of Memory Loss in Older Adults

MedEvidence Articles ·

2025/03/31

This podcast explores Limbic-predominant Amnestic Neurodegenerative Syndrome (LANS), a newly identified condition that primarily affects episodic memory while leaving other cognitive functions relatively intact. LANS is associated with the misfolding of TDP-43, a protein that can accumulate and damage limbic structures. Unlike Alzheimer’s, LANS has a slower onset and lacks definitive diagnostic tests, making research critical for future treatments. With the aging population, understanding and...

Alzheimer’s at the Genetic Level

MedEvidence Articles ·

2025/03/24

Medical treatments are shifting from broad approaches to precise genetic targeting, especially for finicky diseases like Alzheimer's dementia. While many past efforts focused on amyloid β plaques, new research is exploring genetic regulators like APP, which influences amyloid levels, and KDM5, an enzyme linked to memory and cognition. Clinical trials are testing drugs that could balance these proteins and potentially slow cognitive decline at its root. Tune in this week for a deep look into t...
