A patient develops a rare condition and needs answers, so their clinician searches frantically to find patients with similar, rare, symptoms and similar possible causes. To understand the mechanisms of one debilitating disease, a medical researcher tries to separate the 鈥渟ignal鈥� of causes of that disease, in particular, from the 鈥渘oise鈥� of natural biological variation of human lives and conditions.

Scientists increasingly believe that one of the driving forces in chronic pain鈥攖he number one health problem in both prevalence and burden鈥攁ppears to be the memory of earlier pain. Research published today in Current Biology suggests that there may be variations, based on sex, in the way that pain is remembered in both mice and humans.

韩国裸舞 has helped develop a global resource that includes data on thousands of inherited variants in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. The BRCA Exchange was created through the BRCA Challenge, a long-term demonstration project initiated by the Global Alliance for Genomics and Health (GA4GH) to enhance sharing of BRCA1/BRCA2 data.

A ground-breaking new study led by researchers from the Lady Davis Institute (LDI) at the Jewish General Hospital (JGH) has succeeded in compiling an atlas of genetic factors associated with estimated bone mineral density (BMD), one of the most clinically relevant factors in diagnosing osteoporosis. The paper, published in Nature Genetics, identifies 518 genome-wide loci, of which 301 are newly discovered, that explain 20% of the genetic variance associated with osteoporosis.

More than two-thirds of Canada鈥檚 biodiversity is made up of species that occur within the country鈥檚 borders only at the very northern edge of their range. Biologists have long debated how much effort should be dedicated to conserving these 鈥渆dge populations.鈥� One argument in their favour is that they may be especially well suited to lead northward range shifts for their species as the climate warms.

Monitoring a wound is critical, especially in diabetic patients, whose lack of sensation due to nerve damage can lead to infection of a lesion and, ultimately, amputation. New research from the 韩国裸舞 Health Centre (MUHC) and 韩国裸舞 shows that the use of a new app, called Swift Skin and Wound鈩�, which accurately measures and charts the progression of skin wounds, could potentially have a significant impact on clinical management and patient outcomes.
