A pivotal study has revealed the genetic drivers of red pigmentation in apple flesh, highlighting the critical role of anthocyanins and flavan-3-ols. By mapping quantitative trait loci (QTL) across diverse apple families, researchers identified key genetic regions linked to this vibrant coloration, setting the stage for developing apples with deeper hues and enhanced health benefits.
One in 5 older adults used cannabis products that include THC in the last year. Among them, 20% said they drove within 2 hours of using cannabis, and a similar percentage said they experience at least one potential signs of addiction.
A recent study has identified CaSLR1, a gene in pepper plants, as a key regulator of stem strength by controlling cell wall development. This discovery offers significant potential for agriculture, paving the way for breeding crops with enhanced resistance to lodging. Such improvements can lead to increased yield stability and reduced production costs, providing substantial benefits for farmers.
A insuficiência cardíaca durante a gravidez é uma condição perigosa e muitas vezes pouco detectada porque os sintomas comuns – falta de ar, fadiga extrema e dificuldade em respirar enquanto se está deitada – são facilmente confundidos com os desconfortos típicos da gravidez. Uma pesquisa de última hora apresentada no Congresso da Sociedade Europeia de Cardiologia sobre um estudo da Mayo Clinic mostrou que um estetoscópio digital habilitado para inteligência artificial (IA) ajudou os médicos a identificar o dobro de casos de insuficiência cardíaca em comparação ao grupo de controle que recebeu cuidados obstétricos e triagens habituais. Todos os resultados do estudo estão publicados na Nature Medicine.
La insuficiencia cardíaca durante el embarazo es una afección peligrosa y, a menudo, no se detecta porque los síntomas comunes – dificultad para respirar, fatiga extrema y dificultad para respirar mientras está acostada – se confunden fácilmente con las molestias típicas del embarazo. Una investigación de última hora presentada en el Congreso de la Sociedad Europea de Cardiología sobre un estudio de Mayo Clinic mostró que un estetoscopio digital habilitado para inteligencia artificial (IA) ayudó a los médicos a identificar el doble de casos de insuficiencia cardíaca en comparación con el grupo de control que recibió atención obstétrica y exámenes de detección habituales.

روتشستر، مينيسوتا — يُعتبر فشل القلب أثناء الحمل حالة خطيرة وغالبًا ما لا يتم اكتشافها بشكل كافٍ، لأن الأعراض الشائعة مثل ضيق النفس والتعب الشديد وصعوبة التنفس أثناء الاستلقاء يمكن بسهولة أن يُساء تفسيرها على أنها أعراض طبيعية مرتبطة بالحمل. أظهرت أبحاث حديثة قُدمت في مؤتمر الجمعية الأوروبية لأمراض القلب، استنادًا إلى دراسة من مايو كلينك، أن السماعة الطبية الرقمية المزودة بالذكاء الاصطناعي ساعدت الأطباء في تشخيص ضعف عدد حالات فشل القلب مقارنة بمجموعة الضبط التي تلقت الرعاية والفحوصات التوليدية التقليدية. نُشرت النتائج الكاملة للدراسة في مجلة "نيتشر ميديسن".
With flu season just around the corner and COVID-19 cases on the rise, a new nationwide survey from The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center reveals hesitancy around vaccines this fall. The new data comes just as this year’s flu shot rolls out and following the FDA’s approval of an updated round of COVID-19 vaccines.
A research team investigates how varying levels of salinity, commonly found in municipal tap water, affect the growth and nutritional content of microgreens.
A research team reveals the potential of microbial treatments in significantly increasing rice yields in Africa, particularly in Tanzania and Kenya.
Scientists have discovered a genetic mechanism in pak choi that boosts drought tolerance by regulating ascorbic acid levels. By silencing the BcSRC2 gene, researchers found that the plant’s ascorbic acid content decreased, reducing its drought resistance. Conversely, overexpressing BcSRC2 raised ascorbic acid levels, enhancing the plant’s tolerance. This finding could guide future breeding strategies to help crops cope with water scarcity.
A research team has revealed that the strategic combination of organic and inorganic fertilizers significantly improves soil nutrient supply, enhances rice growth, and boosts grain yield in rice ratooning systems.
Every year, millions of women get mammograms to screen for breast cancer. About 10% of them are called back for further testing. And 7% to 12% of those women receive a false-positive result, meaning that the mammogram detects something that looks like cancer, but turns out not to be.
Nanotechnology expert MinJun Kim, the Robert C. Womack Endowed Chair Professor at SMU Lyle School of Engineering, and his research team have been awarded a $300,000 grant from the National Science Foundation to design a nanosensor that can improve the accuracy of gene therapy, enabling more effective clinical trials with fewer side effects.
Avian influenza A(H5N1) virus, which spread to cattle and infected 14 people this year, was detected using virome sequencing in the wastewater of 10 Texas cities by researchers at UTHealth Houston and Baylor College of Medicine.
The American Dental Hygienists’ Association (ADHA®) supports community water fluoridation as a safe and effective method for reducing the incidence of dental caries throughout the lifespan.
Doctors can help prevent ovarian cancer, but historically the cost of preventative surgery has been menopause. A Penn State Health expert discusses why it’s worth it, and how medical technology is catching up with this insidious disease.
A UCLA-led study involving mice and human data could also have implications for individuals with diabetes and obesity, uncovering new treatment possibilities for life-threatening arrhythmias.
