The world’s total population is expected to reach 9.9 billion by 2050. This rapid increase in population is boosting the demand for agriculture to cater for the increased demand. Below are some of the latest research and features on agriculture and farming in the Agriculture channel on Newswise.
A study showed that patient pain scores were a good predictor for opioid use, but younger patients and those who hadn’t used opioids before were less likely to take them
An existing drug that targets senescent, or sleeping cells could provide the answer to treating lower back pain, according to a new study.
Jusqu'à la moitié des personnes atteintes d'épilepsie résistante aux médicaments (EFR) peuvent bénéficier d'une intervention chirurgicale. Cependant, dans de nombreuses régions à faibles ressources, la mise en place d'un programme chirurgical nécessite de faire face à de multiples défis, notamment la stigmatisation, le manque de ressources, une formation inadéquate et un financement insuffisant.

In a proof-of-concept in ACS’ Nano Letters, a team has designed injectable nanoparticles that released naloxone ― which rapidly reverses opioid overdose effects ― when triggered by blue light. In experiments with mice, this system was activated a month after injection.
New research in the November 2023 issue of JNCCN—Journal of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network suggests that breast cancer patients who have insufficient levels of vitamin D before starting paclitaxel treatment are more likely to experience peripheral neuropathy.
Researchers led by Mroj Alassaf at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in the United States have discovered a link between obesity and neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer’s disease.
MD Anderson and Jazz Pharmaceuticals announced a five-year strategic research collaboration agreement to evaluate zanidatamab, Jazz’s investigational HER2-targeted bispecific antibody, in multiple HER2-expressing cancers.
It is no secret that the mainstay of postoperative analgesia is opioid based, but studies confirm that the execution of a multimodal postoperative analgesic approach to postoperative pain control can help minimize opiate side effects.
Utilizing both high spinal anesthesia (HSA) and general anesthesia (GA) may lead to faster patient recovery times and overall better patient care when used in pediatric congenital heart surgery.
A University of Michigan-led study provided evidence of the efficacy of a new drug-induced liver injury screening platform using human liver organoids, or tiny 3D models of organs developed from patients’ stem cells that grow in petri dishes.
A new large-scale study led by researchers at the University of Cincinnati and Northwell Health, New York's largest health care provider, found the drug metformin can help prevent or reduce weight gain in youth taking medication to treat bipolar disorder.
A new study from the University of Wisconsin–Madison suggests that chemotherapy may not be reaching its full potential, in part because researchers and doctors have long misunderstood how some of the most common cancer drugs actually ward off tumors.
Harnessing new advances in genomic surveillance technology could help detect the rise of deadly ‘superbugs’
In study after study, the psychoactive drug ketamine has given profound and fast relief to many people suffering from severe depression.
New research reveals that the nation’s most widely prescribed type of sedative may be less effective than clinicians and scientists have been led to believe, based on publications in medical journals.
While solutions for addressing the opioid crisis often involve either beefing up law enforcement or widening the scope of health services, West Virginia University researchers said they believe the best approach is a synergistic mix of both.
Although several medications are approved to treat attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), some individuals experience limited benefits from the drugs or develop side effects from their use.
Cal State Fullerton antibiotic-resistance researcher María Soledad Ramírez and her students have discovered a promising new therapeutic to treat Acinetobacter baumannii, a superbug commonly found in hospitals and resistant to many antibiotics.
