Doctors issue caution over missed cancer diagnoses tied to immune disorder
Physicians who specialize in a devastating and aggressive immune disorder called hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) report in a new study that extra care should be taken to ensure an HLH diagnosis doesn’t obscure possible underlying cancers. They caution that expediting HLH treatment may miss underlying malignancies that could end up being fatal to the patient.
Attosecond pulse leads to highest molecular level probe resolution
Devising a source of ultra-fast X-ray pulsating in the attosecond range is no mean feat. It enables physicists to probe dynamic processes in matter with unprecedented time resolution. Now, a team of physicists has exploited an optical phenomenon, opening the door to creating high-order oscillations in existing light sources and a beam source pulsating in an ultra-fast manner to reach the attosecond range.
No ‘reservoir’: Detectable HIV-1 in treated human liver cells found to be inert
In a proof-of-principle study, researchers report that a certain liver immune cell called a macrophage contains only defective or inert HIV-1 copies, and aren’t likely to restart infection on their own in HIV-1-infected people on long-term antiretroviral therapy (ART).

That might sound like every other 2-in-1 on the market, but you only have to look at HP’s Spectre Folio to see it’s a little different.
HP has created a skeleton magnesium frame that attaches to the exterior leather and combined it with a tiny motherboard to maximize the amount of battery on this device. HP is claiming up to 18 hours of battery life, an impressive amount if the claims hold up. Inside, there’s an 8th Gen Intel Core i7 processor, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB of SSD storage. HP…
