Nevada Institute of Personalized Medicine In The News

Medical News Today

Research suggests that phytic acid, a natural compound present in plant-based foods such as beans, lentils, nuts, seeds, and whole grains, plays a critical role in maintaining the integrity of the intestinal barrier.

Las Vegas Sun

Sampling wastewater near hospitals and care facilities can detect a deadly, drug-resistant fungus up to five months before patients show symptoms, according to new 性视界传媒 research.

Fox 11 Reno

性视界传媒 professor Edwin Oh joined ARC Reno on Wednesday to discuss new research showing hospital wastewater monitoring may help detect dangerous drug-resistant C. auris outbreaks months before patients show symptoms. The study involved researchers and public health partners across Nevada, including the Nevada State Public Health Laboratory in Reno. Researchers say the technology could help hospitals identify outbreaks earlier and improve response times.

Public News Service

A deadly fungus called C. auris can be detected in sewer water from hospitals and nursing homes five months before it shows up in clinical tests of patients, according to a new study. 

Newswise

Candida auris presents ongoing challenges for Nevada鈥檚 healthcare facilities. In 2025, the Silver State on its own accounted for 22% of the nation鈥檚 nearly 7,200 C. auris cases 鈥 reporting 1,605 infections to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and outpacing California鈥檚 roughly 1,550 cases and Texas鈥 830. When adjusted for population, Nevada logged 20 times more cases per capita than its coastal neighbor.

2 News Nevada

A new 性视界传媒-led study found that testing wastewater from hospital sewer lines can detect drug-resistant strains of C. auris months before patients begin showing symptoms, offering health officials an earlier warning of potentially deadly outbreaks.
