For older adults undergoing hemiarthroplasty for hip fracture, intraoperative use of liposomal bupivacaine does not improve pain scores or other relevant outcomes, compared to conventional bupivacaine, reports a study in The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery. The journal is published in the Lippincott portfolio by Wolters Kluwer.
By tracking the changes in prostate cancer cells over time, researchers at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center have found that activation of the MYC gene — a well-known cancer-causing gene — sets off a cascade of events that leads to both initiation and progression of the disease.
Highly vulnerable patients treated at hospitals accredited by the ACS Commission on Cancer were more likely to receive guideline-based care and less likely to die.
As the school year revs up, a renowned child developmental psychologist highlights the robust benefits of pretend play on cognitive, social, and emotional development in children and cautions how “learning through play” has changed with the demands of contemporary society. Given natural selection’s shaping of childhood for the acquisition and refinement of species-adapted social-cognitive skills – much through pretend play – he says it’s unfortunate that modern culture is ignoring the evolved wisdom of how best to educate young children.
Researchers used dual-nozzle 3D printing technology to construct plant-based yellow croaker tissue analogs by soy protein isolate–xanthan gum-starch complex (as simulated muscle ink) and nanostarch-carrageenan emulsion gel (as simulated fat ink). Successfully, indicators of testing demonstrated that 3D-printed plant-based yellow croaker flesh with a composite structure had a good simulation quality.
Funding of $5.65 million for 11 research projects in high energy density laboratory plasmas to better understand extreme environments was announced by the Department of Energy (DOE) today.
Researchers have made a significant breakthrough in understanding the role of microRNAs in bamboo’s de novo shoot organogenesis, unveiling 727 differentially expressed miRNAs and their core regulatory networks. This discovery could revolutionize bamboo cultivation, providing a sustainable method to enhance the regeneration of this essential non-timber forest resource.
The University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign has launched five new online graduate certificate programs designed for online learners interested in topics including sustainable food production economics, alternative investments, wetland conservation, human nutrition and policy, and dairy nutrition.
A new study from NYU Tandon School of Engineering suggests that when it comes to visualizations of mass shooting data, political ideology plays a more significant role in shaping emotional responses than racial identity. The research challenges assumptions about how people interpret data related to gun violence.
Drinking alcohol may predict experiencing physical, psychological, or sexual victimization during or shortly after alcohol use, according to a study published in Alcohol: Clinical and Experimental Research.
Zhijian “James” Chen, Ph.D., Professor of Molecular Biology and Director of the Center for Inflammation Research at UT Southwestern Medical Center, has been awarded the Albert Lasker Basic Medical Research Award for his discovery of the cGAS enzyme.
An unexpected finding about how our universe formed is again raising the question: do we need new physics? The answer could fundamentally change what physics students are taught in classes around the world.
Leaders from University Hospitals joined a select few of the nation’s leading healthcare systems at a White House forum on patient and workforce safety as part of World Patient Safety Day on September 17.
A recent study reveals the intricate dynamics behind catechin biosynthesis in tea plants, highlighting how phosphate (Pi) signaling and jasmonate (JA) pathways interact to regulate these valuable health-promoting compounds. The findings illuminate the environmental and hormonal factors that influence catechin production, which is crucial for both the economic value and the health benefits of tea.
A newly published study sheds light on the intricate relationship between the 2024 M 7.6 Noto Hanto earthquake and a significant earthquake swarm that began beneath Japan's Noto Peninsula in November 2020. This research, conducted by a team of international experts including Professor Zhigang Peng and his student Phuc Mach at Georgia Tech, Dr. Xinglin Lei at National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) in Japan, Dr. Qing-Yu Wang at Université Grenoble Alpes, France, and other researchers in China, Japan and France, offers a detailed analysis of the seismic activity leading up to and following the devastating earthquake.
A lumbar puncture, also known as a spinal tap, can be challenging for physicians to perform manually. A new ultrasound navigation system could provide accurate, real-time, and intuitive needle insertion planning and guidance.
Case Western Reserve University and the Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center have been awarded a $1.14M grant from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to use artificial intelligence (AI) to determine the best personalized treatment for Veterans with rectal cancer.
Join us at #APSA2024, taking place at the Faculty of Architecture, Chulalongkorn University, under the theme “New Era for ASIA Cities.” The conference will bring together academics, researchers, practitioners, and students in urban and regional planning to share insights, explore cutting-edge methodologies, and foster partnerships aimed at building more resilient, inclusive, and sustainable cities across Asia.
