Using games to teach complex concepts
University of Utah geoscientists successfully nominated the Henry Mountains, Coyote Buttes and Great Salt Lake to international union’s list of the top geoheritage sites, “the world’s best demonstrations of geologic features and processes.”
Pour les personnes atteintes d'épilepsie, la capacité de conduire figure parmi leurs principales préoccupations. Les réglementations varient d'un pays à l'autre. Bon nombre d'entre eux ont des restrictions sur la conduite pour les personnes atteintes d'épilepsie, mais certains n'ont pas de politique.
Findings from the international FORT-2 clinical trial showed that a combination treatment including immunotherapy is safe and tolerable in patients with locally advanced or metastatic bladder cancer. The results, which were recently published in JAMA Oncology, show potential to broaden the number of patients with bladder cancer who could benefit from immunotherapy, an approach that harnesses a patient's own immune system to fight cancer.
It was truly a Labor Day weekend to remember at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, where transplant teams performed 10 kidney transplants in two days — and that was before even getting to Labor Day.
Crystal Cederna is an associate professor in the Charles Stewart Mott Department of Public Health in the Michigan State University College of Human Medicine. She has worked with more than 4,000 youth patients and families and sees a clear need for preventive mental health.
UW Medicine researchers found that patients who underwent the stone-moving ultrasound procedure had a 70% lower risk of such a recurrence. The Journal of Urology published the findings in August.
In northern Nigeria, more people need epilepsy treatment than traditional medical care can support. Dr. Edwin Trevathan discusses projects aimed at identifying children with undiagnosed epilepsy and improving access to care, as well as research to better understand the risks and prognosis of pediatric status epilepticus.
Blanca Barquera's investigation into the energy-generating processes of Bacteroides, the most abundant member of the gut microbiome, and their impact on our well-being holds the promise of significant advancements in human health.
The article provides an overview of Elam’s career and achievements on the occasion of his having been named as a Fellow of the Electrochemical Society.
Studies by researchers at UTHealth Houston seeking to understand the underlying pathology of Alzheimer’s disease in order to discover new pathways to treatment have earned multiple awards totaling $3.5 million from the Texas Alzheimer’s Research and Care Consortium (TARCC).
Eurofins Genomics US is proud to announce the opening of a new world-class oligonucleotide manufacturing facility. The expansion significantly increases manufacturing capacity and capabilities, allowing Eurofins Genomics US to meet the ever-growing global demand for GMP-grade and research use oligonucleotides.
UTHealth Houston and The Ocean Corporation are collaborating on UTHealth Houston’s Space Medicine Training Fellowship program, which now includes a two-week intensive training focused on hyperbaric technologies and analog environments akin to those astronauts experience during extravehicular activities (EVAs), or space walks.
The test represented the culmination of nearly three years of collaboration between Jefferson Lab and ESnet to develop a novel networking hardware prototype that can connect scientific instruments to computing clusters over a wide-area network such as ESnet’s in real time.
A new national poll shows U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris with a narrow lead over former U.S. President Donald Trump. The poll also uncovers complex voter attitudes toward democracy, economic policies, and the impact of celebrity endorsements.
In a significant advancement for plant biology, researchers have discovered that manipulating miR159a, a key microRNA, enhances drought tolerance in poplar trees. By boosting water-use efficiency and minimizing stomatal opening, this study could revolutionize forestry management in arid regions, offering new strategies for breeding drought-resistant trees to tackle water scarcity challenges.
UTHealth Houston has enrolled the first patient in the Southeastern United States into a national Phase I/II clinical trial testing whether a neural cell therapy product can help inhibit the abnormal electrical activity that leads to an epileptic seizure.
