AACI survey finds many opportunities for cancer center networks to increase patient satisfaction, outcomes
The consolidation of medical services into large systems of care is a major driver of health care economics. For patients with cancer, that may open the door to expert knowledge, cutting-edge treatments like personalized genomics, and clinical trials.
In a survey of the status of care across cancer center networks, some of which reach deep into rural areas, the Association of American Cancer Institutes (AACI) has found that many opportunities exist for such networks to increase patient satisfaction and outcomes and decrease treatment delays and risks.

CLEVELAND Scientists at the Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine have determined the structure of protein fibrils linked to Lou Gehrig s disease and other neurodegenerative disorders findings that provide clues to how toxic proteins clump and spread between nerve cells in the brain.
Their results may also lead to developing drugs to treat diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). These devastating brain disorders that affect tens of thousands of Americans?are on the rise worldwide, and there are no effective treatments to stop their progression, said Witold Surewicz, a professor in the Department of Physiology and Biophysics at the School of Medicine and the study s senior author.

If you were given ultrasound in a word association game, sound wave might easily come to mind. But in recent years, a new term has surfaced: bubbles. Those ephemeral, globular shapes are proving useful in improving medical imaging, disease detection and targeted drug delivery. There s just one glitch: bubbles fizzle out soon after injection into the bloodstream.
Now, after 10 years work, a multidisciplinary research team has built a better bubble. Their new formulations have resulted in nanoscale bubbles with customizable outer shells so small and durable that they can travel to and penetrate some of the most inaccessible areas in the human body.
