Adolescents with severe obesity who received meal-replacement therapy plus financial incentives experienced a greater reduction in body mass index compared to those who received meal replacement therapy alone, according to recent findings published in JAMA Pediatrics. Justin Ryder, PhD, Vice Chair of Research for the Department of Surgery at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago and Associate Professor of Surgery and Pediatrics at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, was a co-author of the study.
In APL Materials, researchers from Lyuliang University have developed a low-cost, flexible, and customizable sensor for badminton players that overcomes current monitoring constraints. The team used triboelectric sensors to construct their intelligent monitoring system because they are easy to adapt for flexible, wearable devices and to minimize interference during bending and twisting, they built a 3D-printed flexible arch-shaped sensor encased in a thermoplastic elastomer. This design is comfortable during use and can be easily customized to individual athletes.
Years of high systolic blood pressure are linked to a greater risk for the two most common types of stroke. The results suggest that early diagnosis and sustained control of high blood pressure over the lifespan are critical to preventing stroke, especially in Black and Hispanic patients who are more likely to have uncontrolled hypertension.
Argonne-led research working toward reducing electronic waste with biodegradable luminescent polymers with high light-emitting efficiencies.
Leading Democrats, including Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, and Elizabeth Warren, have endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for the 2024 presidential race. ...

What does science tell us about being an Olympic athlete? The answer depends on which Johns Hopkins Medicine scientist you ask.For interviews with the experts on these topics, contact Alexandria Carolan ([email protected]) or Vanessa Wasta ([email protected]).
Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed new software using electromagnetic transient analysis, a type of electric grid simulation, to speed up calculations that more accurately predict how modern power electronics in the grid will affect its operation. This provides an essential tool for planning, design and operation of the modern power grid as it incorporates new renewable power generation and electric vehicle chargers.
While previous research has linked suboptimal sleep durations to increased diabetes risk, the current report, published in the journal Diabetologia, extended these findings to a large cohort of primarily low-income, middle- to older-age Black and white adults in the southeastern United States.
Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis use microscopy to chart amyloid beta’s underlying structure and yield insight into neurodegenerative disease
A wave of COVID-19 over the summer is becoming as reliable as sizzling heat.
The Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory has publicly released a new set of additive manufacturing data that industry and researchers can use to evaluate and improve the quality of 3D-printed components.
The recent surge in people seeking mental health care across the country has led to long wait times for first appointments with therapists and psychiatrists. Now, a new study offers hope that while they wait to get care, patients could still get some relief by using evidence-based smartphone apps and wearable devices to track sleep and activity.
The risk of long COVID has declined over the course of the pandemic, although it remains a persistent threat. Researchers from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis identified vaccination as a primary factor in reducing the risk of long COVID.
Insurance coverage, ethnicity and location may all play a role in a person’s ability to receive care after a stroke, according to a study published in the July 17, 2024, online issue of Neurology® Clinical Practice, an official journal of the American Academy of Neurology.
The UW Medicine-led research focuses on delivering a series of protein packets inside a shuttle vector to replace the defective DMD gene within the muscles. The added genetic code will then start producing dystrophin, the protein lacking in patients with muscular dystrophy.
Word of bird flu infections is raising concerns among epidemiologists. A Penn State Health expert discusses recent developments with H5N1 and why scientists are watching it closely.
