For the past 15 years, LIPID MAPS has served scientists working to specify and classify lipids in order to develop techniques, tools and terms to better study them. Now with new support, the database will continue advancing the study of these fatty acids and the field of lipidomics.
UW researchers have developed a smartphone app that uses sonar to monitor someone's breathing rate and sense when an opioid overdose has occurred.
More than half of people who take medical cannabis for chronic pain say they’ve driven under the influence of cannabis within two hours of using it, at least once in the last six months, according to a new survey. One in five of them said they’d driven while ‘very high’ in the past six months.
روتشستر، مينيسوتا — يمكن أن تؤدي التغيرات الجينية في سرطان البروستاتا منخفض الخطورة الذي تم تشخيصه عن طريق خزعة الإبرة إلى تحديد الرجال المصابين بسرطان شديد الخطورة في غدد البروستات، وذلك حسبما اكتشفت Mayo Clinic. وقد أشار البحث الذي نُشر في طبعة يناير من Mayo Clinic Proceedings -لأول مرة- أن التغيرات الوراثية المرتبطة بسرطان البروستاتا ذي الخطورة العالية والمتوسطة قد تكون موجودة في بعض الحالات المصابة بسرطانات البروستاتا منخفضة الخطورة.
The overabundance of fast fashion — readily available, inexpensively made clothing — has created an environmental and social justice crisis, claims a new paper from an expert on environmental health at Washington University in St. Louis.“From the growth of water-intensive cotton, to the release of untreated dyes into local water sources, to worker’s low wages and poor working conditions, the environmental and social costs involved in textile manufacturing are widespread,” said Christine Ekenga, assistant professor at the Brown School and co-author of the paper “The Global Environmental Injustice of Fast Fashion,” published in the journal Environmental Health.
Carrying extra body fat, especially around the middle, may be linked to brain shrinkage, according to a study published in the January 9, 2019, online issue of Neurology®, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology. For the study, researchers determined obesity by measuring body mass index (BMI) and waist-to-hip ratio in study participants and found those with higher ratios of both measures had the lowest brain volume.
Astronauts who spend several months on the International Space Station have significant reductions in the size and density of paraspinal muscles of the trunk after returning to Earth, reports a study in Spine. The journal is published in the Lippincott portfolio by Wolters Kluwer.
Microbiome community linked to lower influenza susceptibility
How yeast partition carbon into a metabolite may offer insights into boosting production for biofuels.
When researchers first began working on the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment, or CHIME, they envisioned a radio telescope that would make precise measurements of the acceleration of the Universe to improve the knowledge of why the expansion of the universe is accelerating. Instead, it has become ideal for detecting fast radio bursts—radio flashes happening from far outside the Milky Way galaxy.
روتشستر، مينيسوتا — نشر باحثون من Mayo Clinic، بالتعاون مع باحثين من كلية ويك فورست للطب و مركز العلوم الصحية بجامعة تكساس في سان أنطونيو، نتائج دراسة سريرية حول سلامة وجدوى إزالة خلايا مُسنّة من مجموعة صغيرة من المرضى المصابين بالتليف الرئوي. وعُرِضت نتائج الدراسة في مجلة الطب الحيوي "إي بايو مديسن" EBioMedicine.
Giving your child extra time on the iPad for good behaviour may not be the best idea according to a new University of Guelph study.
ROCHESTER, Minnesota. — A porcentagem de mulheres examinadas para câncer de colo do útero pode ser muito menor do que os dados dos Estados Unidos sugerem, de acordo com um estudo da Mayo Clinic publicado recentemente no Journal of Women’s Health. Menos de dois terços das mulheres com idades entre 30 e 65 anos estavam em dia com exames de câncer de colo do útero em 2016. O percentual foi ainda menor para as mulheres com idades entre 21 e 29 anos, com pouco mais da metade tendo exames atuais. Esses números estão bem abaixo dos 81% de taxa de cumprimento de exames autodeclarada na 2015 National Health Interview Survey (Pesquisa de Entrevista sobre Saúde Nacional 2015).
Studies: Elevated blood lead level in early childhood associated with increased risk of academic problems in school-aged children
Scientists at the Eli and Edythe Broad Center of Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research at UCLA have discovered that squamous cell skin cancers do not require increased glucose to power their development and growth, contrary to a long-held belief about cancer metabolism. The findings could bring about a better understanding of many cancers' metabolic needs and lead to the development of more effective therapies for squamous cell skin cancer and other forms of epithelial cancer.
Years of drought have parched California’s vast agricultural lands, prompting farmers to drill deeper and deeper into aquifers to irrigate their fields. But this often means higher water costs for everyone – and inefficient use of a precious resource. Cornell researchers have a solution: Coordinate water use, taking into account all the farms drawing water from a particular aquifer. The approach offers the farms a significant payoff when crop prices are high.
A small percentage of Americans, less than 9 percent, shared links to so-called “fake news” sites on Facebook during the 2016 presidential election campaign, but this behavior was disproportionately common among people over the age of 65, finds a new analysis.
Poor sleep is a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease, and now researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis think they know why. They found that older people who have less slow-wave sleep – the deep sleep you need to consolidate memories and wake up feeling refreshed – have higher levels of the brain protein tau. Elevated tau is a sign of Alzheimer’s disease and has been linked to brain damage and cognitive decline.
An elephant never forgets. This seems to be the case, at least, for elephants roaming about Namibia, looking for food, fresh water, and other resources.
Two-thirds of stroke survivors are in complete mental health despite the impact of their stroke, according to a large, nationally representative Canadian study conducted by researchers at the University of Toronto's Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social Work.
