Boston, Mass. - As the number of COVID-19 infections continues to rise nationwide, more than 360,000 Americans have already died from the potentially deadly viral infection. But recent reports describe an increase in mortality during the pandemic that cannot be explained by COVID-19 deaths alone.
In a new study from the Richard A. and Susan F. Smith Center for Outcomes Research in Cardiology at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC), researchers analyzed data from the National Center for Health Statistics to compare the rate of cardiovascular-related deaths before and after the onset of the pandemic in the United States, relative to the same periods in the prior year. The observational study, published in the

BOSTON (WBZ NewsRadio) A Chinese man was sentenced in a federal court in Boston Wednesday for making false statements in connection with 19 vials of biological research he stole from a lab at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.
According to U.S. Attorney Andrew Leling s office, 31-year-old Zaosong Zheng entered the U.S. in August 2018 on a J-1 visa. He conducted cancer-cell research at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston from September 2018 to December 9th 2019. The next day, Zheng was arrested at Boston Logan International Airport, and charged by criminal complaint. On December 9th 2019, Zheng stole vials of biological research, hid the vials in his luggage, and attempted to take them out of the United States aboard a flight destined for China, Leling s office said. Federal officers at Logan Airport discovered the vials hidden in a sock inside one of Zheng’s bags, and not properly packaged. When asked by federal officers whether he was traveling wi

Scientists from Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and surgeons from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) have conducted the first human clinical trial to confirm the accuracy and practicality of an oxygen-sensing liquid bandage that quantifies the amount of oxygen in transplanted tissues.
Published in the
Science Advances journal, the clinical trial compared the performance of an innovative, paint-on bandage developed with phosphorescent materials to a wired tissue oximeter called ViOptix device the present standard for tracking tissue oxygenation in the female population who undergo breast reconstruction surgery following cancer.
