Finding new ways to diagnose childhood brain tumours
Cambridge researchers are using new techniques to distinguish different types of medulloblastoma, a type of brain tumour in children. With one in four children with this tumour type suffering long-term memory loss and speech issues after surgery, it is important that we work towards improving diagnostic methods which avoid surgery Jessica Taylor Funded by The Brain Tumour Charity, this research aims to develop new ways to diagnose medulloblastoma using minimally invasive methods, protecting the quality of life of children with this diagnosis.

World Tuberculosis Day: How EPIC researchers at University of Toronto are making an impact
Tuberculosis (TB) is preventable and curable, yet it remains one of the world's most deadly infectious threats and a significant global health challenge. About 95 per cent of cases occur in lowand middle-income countries but the disease still poses a significant public health concern in Canada, where it disproportionately affects Indigenous communities and people born outside the country.

Poorest children have worse health and educational outcomes in adolescence
Generation Z children born into the poorest fifth of families in the UK are 12 times more likely to experience a raft of poor health and educational outcomes by the age of 17 compared to more affluent peers, finds a new report led by UCL researchers. The study, published in The Lancet Public Health , used data from the Millennium Cohort Study, a major study of more than 15,000 children born after the new millennium (September 2000 - January 2002) who are now in their early 20s.

Diet and exercise programs alone won’t tackle childhood obesity
Focusing on immediate fixes such as diet and exercise programs alone won't curb the tide of childhood obesity, according to a new study that for the first time maps the complex pathways that lead to obesity in childhood. Coordinated by the University of Sydney's Charles Perkins Centre the study finds children whose parents did not complete high school and who live with social disadvantage, were more likely to be affected by overweight or obesity in mid-adolescence.

A novel combination therapy for treating vancomycin-resistant bacterial infections
Developed at SMART, the therapy stimulates the host immune system to more effectively clear bacterial infections and accelerate infected wound healing. Close Previous image Researchers have developed a novel combination therapy using the anticancer agent mitoxantrone (MTX), together with an antibiotic, vancomycin, for treating bacteria that are resistant to the vancomycin, which are also known as vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecalis or VRE.
