New research reveals how climate change is likely to increase the potential for wine production in the UK – with conditions projected to resemble those in famous growing regions of France and Germany.
High dose inhaled nitric oxide gas (iNO) is a safe and effective respiratory therapy for pregnant women hospitalized with severe COVID-19 pneumonia, resulting in a more rapid weaning from supplemental oxygen and reduced length of hospital stay, according to a research team led by Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH).
Major international sports events can significantly reduce their carbon footprint if organisers are willing to make some changes, a tourism expert says.
New technology used by UC Davis researchers has uncovered melanoma biomarkers expressed by specific tumor cells as well as neighboring cells in the so-called tumor microenvironment. The study results may help diagnose melanoma earlier when it is more treatable.
Nitriles, a class of organic molecules with a cyano group, that is, a carbon atom bound with a triple unsaturated bond to a nitrogen atom, are typically toxic.
In a paper published online July 4 in Nature Nanotechnology, researchers report the design of an energy-efficient, silicon-based non-volatile switch that manipulates light through the use of a phase-change material and graphene heater, which could aid in making data centers more energy efficient.
A new study published in the journal Health Economics is the first to comprehensively examine the impact of job losses during the U.S. Great Recession of 2008-09 on the mental health, physical health and the health behavior of young adults.
n a new paper, researchers from University Hospitals (UH) detail how they used data via a dashboard to decrease the use of packed red-blood cell (pRBC) transfusions and platelets with an increase in appropriate transfusions.
Their paper, “Transfusion Utilization and Appropriateness: Thinking Differently at a Tertiary Academic Medical Center,” appears in the July/August 2022 issue of the edition of the Physician Leadership Journal. (DOI: https://doi:10.55834/plj.1146877267)
New research led by University of Washington professors James Krieger and Melissa Knox found that sweetened beverage taxes redistributed dollars from higher- to lower-income households.
Researchers at UC San Diego School of Medicine provide some of the first empirical evidence that brain ripples exist. These electrical waves have long been hypothesized as a way for the brain to integrate and encode memories.
In a new article published in Cancer Research Communications, Moffitt Cancer Center researchers describe the signaling pathways that regulate YAP1 and how the protein contributes to angiogenesis under normal and low oxygen conditions.
Scientists are trying to improve their understanding of the development of clear cell renal cell carcinoma to develop new targeted therapeutics. In a new study published in European Urology, Moffitt Cancer Center researchers identify biomarkers for this disease type and develop a tool to indicate which patients are at high risk of poor outcomes based on their biomarker expression.
Even when they’ve been rejected by their parents, many LGBTQ adults have a sense of "compulsory kinship" that keeps them trying to maintain their relationships, according to research presented in a new book.
Wood as a building material has deep roots in the cultural memory of many regions. A study by Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) now shows how much future building with wood opens up. Considering the cultural, technical, and design aspects of building with wood, the study examines how timber construction can make a comeback in cities. Its proposition is that more color is the key to greater acceptance. The reference project for the study is “Vinzent,” a residential and office building with colorful, planted wooden façades in Munich’s Neuhausen district.
New research led by the University of South Australia shows that fatty foods may not only be adding to your waistline but also aggravating Alzheimer's disease, and causing depression and anxiety.
