Disruptions in manufacturing operations after Hurricanes Helene and Milton have significantly affected the supply of life-saving IV fluids, leaving some health systems in dire need. While some medical centers have stockpiles in place, others may need to ration their IV fluid supply and delay surgeries. The American Thoracic Society is providing tips to help hospitals mitigate supply chain impacts.
One of the methods scientists use to study quantum many-body systems is the ab initio approach, but some ab initio methods run into severe computational problems when using realistic interactions. This study introduces wavefunction matching and uses it to perform lattice simulations with realistic interactions. This allows scientists to make calculations that were once impossible.
Researchers at the IU School of Optometry and IU Luddy School of Informatics, Computing and Engineering will advance next-generation technology that uses a simple eye scan to assist in the early detection of conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes and heart disease.
The economy is always a hot topic in presidential elections and, this year, food prices have taken center stage. After a period of historically high inflation in 2022, where grocery prices soared by over 11%, the current rise in food costs has slowed to around 2%. David Ortega, professor and Noel W. Stuckman Chair in Food Economics and Policy at Michigan State University’s College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, breaks down the complexities of food prices during this election season and what presidential candidates are saying about it.
NSF–DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory celebrated a landmark moment in astronomy and astrophysics with the dedication of the Simonyi Survey Telescope on 4 October 2024. With the Simonyi family as guests of honor, Rubin Observatory recognized the pivotal role of Charles and Lisa Simonyi’s philanthropy in advancing construction of the Observatory and supporting research that will soon transform our understanding of the Universe.
El Observatorio Vera C. Rubin celebró un momento histórico para la astronomía y la astrofísica con el nombramiento oficial del Telescopio de Investigación Simonyi en una ceremonia celebrada el pasado 4 de octubre en las instalaciones del observatorio, ubicadas en Cerro Pachón, en la Región de Coquimbo, Chile. El acto contó con la presencia de la familia Simonyi como invitados de honor para reconocer el papel fundamental de la filantropía de Charles y Lisa Simonyi en el avance de la construcción del Observatorio y el apoyo a la investigación que pronto transformará nuestra comprensión del Universo.
Expansion of Washington Clean Energy Testbeds will enable fabrication of pouch cells to accelerate the next generation of faster-charging, higher-energy-density, and earth-friendly batteries.
chool prayer has been an issue facing school districts for decades. Cases have arisen in the lower courts in which public school educators or students have wanted to pray in various contexts and, as a result, the courts created a reasonably helpful — albeit far from perfect — set of tests and factors to be considered to determine when praying at school is appropriate. Frank S. Ravitch is professor of law and the Walter H. Stowers Chair of Law and Religion at Michigan State University’s College of Law, answers questions on the balance of school prayer and what the First Amendment protects.
Nipple-Sparing Mastectomy (NSM) is a surgical option for patients requiring a mastectomy, in which the breast tissue is removed while the skin, nipple, and areola remain intact. This procedure allows for immediate reconstruction and offers a more natural post-surgery result, giving patients both peace of mind and a sense of body confidence. M. Michele Blackwood, MD, FACS, director of Breast Surgery and director of Women’s Oncologic Health, RWJBarnabas Health and Rutgers Cancer Institute shares more on this surgical technique.
Scientists have linked neuropsychiatric disorders, such as schizophrenia and autism, to changes in many genes involved in early brain development. However, more research is needed to understand how these gene variants influence the biological mechanisms that underlie these disorders.

While routine mammograms are generally recommended starting at age 40, there are certain factors that may make it necessary to get screened at a younger age. Learn more about these factors that may prompt younger women to consider getting screened earlier.
Ludwig Cancer Research scientists have developed a full, start-to-finish computational pipeline that integrates multiple molecular and genetic analyses of tumors and the specific molecular targets of T cells and harnesses artificial intelligence algorithms to use its output to design personalized cancer vaccines for patients.
In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, scammers and opportunists are looking to exploit the victims of the storm. ...
As e-commerce grows, so do the logistics centers that facilitate rapid delivery. However, this convenience comes at a cost to the environment and public health, particularly in communities near these warehouses
A career in an elite or professional sport is not in itself a risk factor for suicide, according to a review published in the Journal of Psychiatric Practice®, part of the Lippincott portfolio from Wolters Kluwer. But physicians, coaches, and family members should be alert to supporting elite and professional athletes as they approach retirement, a potential athlete-specific risk factor for suicide.
