Intermountain Healthcare researchers have demonstrated the clinical effectiveness of an electronic decision support system (eNPa) for patients with pneumonia. According to a new study by researchers at Intermountain Healthcare in Salt Lake City, a new electronic decision support system helped clinicians at community hospitals deliver best practice care for emergency The post New decision support system reduced pneumonia mortality rate by 38% appeared first on .

A Caltech research team has demonstrated how gut metabolite, 4-ethylphenyl sulfate (4EPS), induces anxiety-like behaviors in mice through the reduction of oligodendrocytes. For the last decade, many papers have been published providing evidence of a connection between the gut microbiome and alterations to both the immune system and brain function. The post Gut metabolite found to affect brain function through reduction of glial cells appeared first on .
