Researchers say that the Chilean Andes could face marked snow loss and roughly 10% less mountain water runoff with a global warming of approximately 2.5 degrees Celsius over the next 30 years. The study has implications for the California Sierra Nevada and highlights the need for carbon mitigation.
The holidays are a stressful time for many, but that may not be a bad thing when it comes to your brain functioning, according to new research from the Youth Development Institute at the University of Georgia.
Collaborative research between SMU nanorobotics authority MinJun Kim’s Biological Actuation, Sensing, and Transport (BAST) Lab and international research and engineering company ARA has demonstrated for the first time that certain chemical coatings, applied to micro/nanoparticles, can alter their swimming propulsion within biological fluids.
Black patients who undergo minimally invasive procedures for clogged arteries are more likely to die or be readmitted to the hospital months after the procedure, a Michigan Medicine study finds. Results reveal social determinants of health – including community economic well-being, personal income and wealth, and preexisting health conditions – played a significant role in the outcomes.
Diagnosing early-stage lung cancer with low-dose computed tomography (CT) screening drastically improves the survival rate of cancer patients over a 20-year period, according to a large-scale international study being presented by Mount Sinai researchers at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America.
Tufts researchers show that a holistic food profiling system, Food Compass, identifies better overall health and lower risk for mortality. The team assessed whether adults who ate more foods with higher Food Compass scores had better long-term health outcomes and found that they did.
This qualitative study explores how and why journalists use preprints—unreviewed research papers—in their reporting.
UC Davis Health infectious diseases expert George Thompson warns of the rising threat and apparent spread of disease-causing fungi outside their traditional hot spots. Fungal lung infections are commonly misdiagnosed, leading to delays in treatment and increase in antimicrobial resistance in the community.
An analysis of 144 pivotal trials for U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved medications in cancer, cardiovascular disease, and neurology has found that more than half of the studies recruit patients from low- and middle-income countries (LMIC).
Endemic mycoses, or fungal pathogens that lead to a wide range of diseases in humans, are expected to become more common in the coming decade, partly due to climate change. The increasing spread of these pathogens increases the possibility that clinicians without familiarity of the mycoses may encounter them in daily practice. This is important because endemic mycoses may be erroneously diagnosed as bacterial infections, leading to inappropriate use of antibiotics and other prescriptions that provide no relief to the patient. The commentary is published in Annals of Internal Medicine.
Adequately funded policies and procedures are needed to reduce health care disparities in access to, and quality of, health care for the U.S. jail and prison population says the American College of Physicians (ACP). Health Care During Incarceration: A Policy Position Paper of the American College of Physicians details recommendations to improve the health and wellbeing of individuals incarcerated in adult correctional facilities. The paper is published in Annals of Internal Medicine.
Every year, the cross-shelf transport of carbon-rich particles from the Barents and Kara Seas could bind up to 3.6 million metric tons of CO2 in the Arctic deep sea for millennia.
A Northwestern University-led team of astronomers has developed the most extensive inventory to date of the galaxies where short gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs) originate.
مدينة روتشستر، ولاية مينيسوتا - استخدم باحثو مايو كلينك الذكاء الاصطناعي لتقييم مخططات كهربية القلب للمرضى في إطار استراتيجية استهدافيّة للكشف عن الرجفان الأذيني، وهو إحدى اضطرابات نظم القلب الشائعة. الرجفان الأذيني هو عدم انتظام ضربات القلب، والذي قد يؤدي إلى جلطات دموية قد تنتقل إلى الدماغ وتسبب سكتة دماغية؛ لكن لا يتم يُشخص بشكل صحيح في معظم الأحيان. في الدراسة اللامركزية الميسرة رقميًا، قام الذكاء الاصطناعي بالتعرف على حالات جديدة من الرجفان الأذيني التي لم يكن ليتم الانتباه لها سريريًا خلال الرعاية الروتينية.
os investigadores de Mayo Clinic utilizaron inteligencia artificial para evaluar electrocardiogramas de pacientes en el marco de una estrategia dirigida para detectar fibrilación auricular, un trastorno frecuente del ritmo cardíaco. La fibrilación auricular es un latido cardíaco irregular que puede provocar coágulos sanguíneos que podrían viajar al cerebro y causar un accidente cerebrovascular, y suele ser difícil de diagnosticar.
Pesquisadores da Mayo Clinic usaram inteligência artificial para avaliar eletrocardiogramas de pacientes em uma estratégia direcionada para examinar a fibrilação atrial, um transtorno de ritmo cardíaco comum. A fibrilação atrial é um batimento cardíaco irregular que pode provocar a formação de coágulos de sangue que podem se mover até o cérebro e causar um AVC, entretanto, ela é altamente subdiagnosticada.
Tick bites transmit Lyme disease. But even knowing where these ticks live doesn’t necessarily mean you can predict the disease in humans.
Gadgets that emit small electrical pulses can drastically cut the number of sharks and stingrays caught accidentally on fishing lines, new research shows.
An international team of scientists investigating transmission of a deadly drug resistant bacteria that rivals MRSA, has found that whilst the bugs are found in livestock, pets and the wider environment, they are rarely transmitted to humans through this route.
Photosynthesis is one of the most important chemical reactions, not just for plants but also for the entire world.
