Recurrent strokes can be avoided with optimal prevention and follow-up
Patients who have had a stroke are prescribed medication to prevent new strokes. Nevertheless, fewer than half achieve the optimal treatment targets.
Understanding why simple images feel more aesthetically pleasing
Humans may find images that take less energy to process aesthetically pleasing, suggesting that our attraction to beauty is at least partially an energy conservation strategy.
Mindfulness can help reduce problematic smartphone use
With more than four billion people around the globe owning a smartphone, researchers are now looking at ways to reduce a growing public health concern-problematic smartphone use.
Insect flour could boost gut health and cut environmental impact
Chitin-rich insect flours show promise as functional foods, boosting beneficial gut bacteria while addressing allergenicity and consumer trust issues.
Tai chi proves as effective as CBT for long-term insomnia relief
Researchers compare the efficacy of Tai chi with cognitive behavioral therapy for the treatment of chronic insomnia.
New rapid PCR method detects Salmonella in food within hours
Researchers develop a molecular testing-based fast-throughput method for the rapid and early detection of Salmonella contamination in various food products.
11 genetic loci that shape impulsive decision-making
Researchers identify distinct genetic loci involved in delay discounting and how these variants are involved in physical and psychiatric health outcomes.
Microbial warning signs that predict death risk in severe pneumonia
Researchers examine the gut and lung microbiota of severe community-acquired pneumonia patients.
No clear link between paracetamol use in pregnancy and autism or ADHD
Maternal paracetamol use during pregnancy shows weak links to autism and ADHD, with family factors playing a more significant role, offering reassurance.
AI model ranks genetic variants from severe to mild disease mutations
popEVE combines evolutionary insights with human population data to identify damaging genetic mutations, improving variant scoring for rare diseases.
AEDs on planes could save lives, study urges global policy change
In-flight cardiac arrest is extremely rare, yet catastrophic, and responsible for up to 86 % of all deaths in the air. A new comprehensive literature review highlights systemic and policy shortcomings of current aviation safety standards, calling for global alignment.
New method reveals how human cells initiate DNA replication
When cells proliferate, genomic DNA is precisely duplicated once per cell cycle. Abnormalities in this DNA replication process can cause alterations in genomic DNA, promoting cellular ageing, cancer, and genetic disorders. Therefore, understanding how cells replicate their DNA is crucial for elucidating fundamental biological processes, diseases, and even evolution.
Stem cells reshape in response to electrical signals, study reveals
Scientists in Melbourne have discovered how tiny electrical pulses can steer stem cells as they grow, opening the door to new improved ways of creating new tissues, organs, nerves and bones.
DNA language model performance hinges on pre-training data choices
Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have performed a comprehensive evaluation of five artificial intelligence (AI) models trained on genomic sequences, known as DNA foundation language models.
Automated EHR system triages cancer symptoms, improves care team efficiency
For many people living with cancer, symptoms such as pain, anxiety or insomnia can quickly spiral into an emergency room visit. Such visits can be financially costly and take an emotional toll on patients and their caregivers.
Calcium fails to prevent pre-eclampsia in pregnant women, study finds
An updated Cochrane review has found that calcium supplementation has no effect on pre-eclampsia, challenging long-held assumptions about the role of calcium in preventing hypertensive disorders in pregnancy.
Rentschler Biopharma and Coriolis Pharma announce strategic collaboration for integrated biopharma solutions
Rentschler Biopharma, a leading global contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) for biopharmaceuticals, and Coriolis Pharma, a globally operating contract research and development organization (CRDO) and a leader in formulation research and development for biopharmaceuticals, today announced a strategic collaboration.
Gene variant linked to higher risk of chronic rejection after lung transplant
About one third of lung transplant recipients have a genetic variant that makes them more likely to develop chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD), the primary cause of mortality after lung transplantation.
Study reveals the overlooked mental health challenges faced by new parents
Intrusive thoughts and psychotic-like experiences among new parents are far more common than previously thought - according to new research from the University of East Anglia.
Rice researchers develop resettable serum markers for clearer brain activity signals
Tracking how genes switch on and off in the brain is essential for understanding many neurological diseases, yet the tools to monitor this activity are often invasive or unable to capture subtler changes over time.
