Mouthwash has long been marketed as an essential hygiene item to prevent bad breath. But what if a mouthwash-based test to detect biomarkers can help predict recurrence of head and neck cancer?
Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis describe the dramatic changes within nerve cells that make regeneration possible. Such findings could inspire the development of new therapies for spinal cord injuries in people.
People 60 and older with untreated high blood pressure may have an increased risk of Alzheimer’s disease compared to both people who have been or are being treated for high blood pressure as well as people without the chronic condition. The new research, a meta-analysis, is published in the August 14, 2024, online issue of Neurology®, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology. These results do not prove that untreated high blood pressure causes Alzheimer’s disease, they only show an association.
Millions of patients worldwide suffer from a chronic itching condition with no identifiable cause – a condition known as chronic pruritus of unknown origin (CPUO) – that has no targeted therapies approved to treat it. Many of these patients suffer for years with little relief, but a new University of Maryland School of Medicine study may provide hope for future treatments. Patients were found to have lower than normal levels of metabolite biomarkers in the blood plasma that could point to a cause of their excruciating symptoms.
A new study has found galaxies with more neighbors tend to be larger than their counterparts that have a similar shape and mass, but reside in less dense environments. The study, which used a machine-learning algorithm to analyze millions of galaxies, found that galaxies found in denser regions of the universe are as much as 25% larger than isolated galaxies.
Vice President Kamala Harris has surprised Democratic lawmakers and progressives by endorsing a Trump-originated proposal to exempt tips from taxes. ...
A new study shows what issues top older adults' lists of health-related concerns going into this November’s election. Five of the top six issues that the highest percentage of older adults reported being very concerned about have to do with the cost of different kinds of health care.
Ukraine launched a surprise incursion into Russia last week, the largest such attack since Russia invaded Ukraine in February of 2022. ...
As Tim Walz joins Kamala Harris on the Democratic ticket, his moderate, local-focused approach is rekindling enthusiasm among rural Democrats in Minnesota, a region crucial for the upcoming election. ...
Martian landers have been able capture measurements of wind speeds — some gauging the cooling rate of heated materials when winds blow over them, others using cameras to image “tell-tales” that blow in the wind — but there’s still room for improvement.
In Physics of Fluids, researchers have started to unravel the mysteries of how near-horizontal bowling in cricket leads to such tough-to-hit balls. The team employed a wake survey rake device made of multiple tubes designed to capture the pressure downstream of the ball and examined the flow dynamics of cricket balls rotating up to 2,500 rpm in a wind tunnel. The group found that low-pressure zones expanded and intensified near the ball when spinning, while these zones shifted and diminished downstream. At higher spin rates, the low-pressure zone begins to change to a persistent bilobed shape. The results lend support to the theory that these newer bowling techniques tap into the Magnus effect.
New research from a Florida State University professor and colleagues explains the mathematics behind how initial predispositions and additional information affect decision making.
The prototype of a novel particle detection system for the international Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment successfully recorded its first accelerator neutrinos, providing a first look at the ability of this innovative technology to handle large numbers of the mysterious particles’ interactions.
Natural killer (NK) cells engineered to express interleukin-21 (IL-21) demonstrated sustained antitumor activity against glioblastoma stem cell-like cells (GSCs) both in vitro and in vivo, according to new research from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.
Corewell Health™ and Michigan State University researchers are the first in the state to use de-identified electronic health records of more than 1.5 million patients to analyze incidence rates and risk factors of mild cognitive impairment, or MCI, in rural and urban areas in West Michigan.
A recent poll reveals that Vice President Kamala Harris is leading former President Donald Trump by a slim margin in seven critical swing states. ...
Materials science and engineering researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have found that the helical structure shows greatly enhanced conductivity compared to the “random coil” counterparts.
A discovery by a three-member Albert Einstein College of Medicine research team may boost the effectiveness of stem-cell transplants, commonly used for patients with cancer, blood disorders, or autoimmune diseases caused by defective stem cells, which produce all the body’s different blood cells.
Three of Taylor Swift’s concerts in Vienna, Austria were cancelled after authorities thwarted a planned terror attack at one of the singer’s shows. ...
Following the Mediterranean diet versus the traditional Western diet might make you feel like you’re under less stress, according to new research conducted by a team from Binghamton University, State University of New York.
