Contrary to common perceptions and years of research that autistic people can’t describe their emotions or often have muted emotional responses, a Rutgers study published in the American Journal of Occupational Therapy concludes that many autistic adults are in fact acutely aware of their feelings and can label them in vivid, often colorful detail.
During the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress, Saby George, MD, FACP, of Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center presented findings on a novel two-agent treatment that more than doubled progression-free survival compared with single-agent treatment.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is poised to revolutionize the care of neurological diseases, from detecting tumors the human eye can’t see and using implantable devices to manage various conditions to crunching data from thousands of people with the same condition to guide the development of new treatments, according to neurologists and biomedical researchers speaking at the Presidential Symposium – Present and Future Applications of AI in Neurological Care and Research at the 149th Annual Meeting of the American Neurological Association (ANA).
College students who vaped had lower cognitive function scores than those who didn’t, and the more they vaped, the bigger the disparity, according to first-of-its-kind research being presented at the 149th Annual Meeting of the American Neurological Association (ANA). The study also found college students who vaped and smoked had the lowest scores. While using electronic cigarettes (vaping) has been shown to cause lung damage, the research presented at ANA is groundbreaking because there is little to no information on vaping’s relationship to cognitive function, such as learning, memory, problem-solving, critical thinking and decision-making. Cognitive testing is rarely performed in young people.
Treatment with a combination of haloperidol and lorazepam reduced symptoms of agitated delirium, a common end-of-life condition for patients with advanced cancers, compared with haloperidol alone, according to a new study led by researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.
A research team has developed an innovative and sustainable method to extract collagen from sardine bones using water extracts from banana peels, a common agricultural waste in Malaysia.
A research team has developed a groundbreaking model for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) that directly internally reform ethanol, offering new avenues for clean, efficient power generation.
A research team examines the extent of damage and associated costs on the 2020 Labor Day wildfires in Washington, Oregon, and California, comparing with the historical impact of megafires in these states.
Wellesley team’s new research on anesthesia unlocks important clues about the nature of consciousness

Cardiovascular health behaviors and overall cardiovascular health were directly associated with adolescent brain development and cognitive function, according to UTHealth Houston research published recently in the journal Mental Health and Physical Activity.
Albert Einstein College of Medicine has received a five-year, $14 million per year grant from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) to participate in a broad national effort to develop "plug-and-play" vaccines and antibody-based therapies against a wide range of emerging viruses. The grant is part of NIAID’s new Research and Development of Vaccines and Monoclonal Antibodies for Pandemic Preparedness (ReVAMPP) Network, which was announced earlier today.
The American College of Radiology® (ACR®), American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) and the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) strongly support legislation introduced recently that will fine health insurance companies that fail to pay physicians within 30 days after losing the independent dispute resolution process laid out in the No Surprises Act (NSA).
Dr. Charles C.Y. Xu has joined the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) Health Program as a postdoctoral scientist funded by a prestigious 3-year fellowship from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF).
Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) show promise as a way to trap toxic molecules and mitigate their harmful effects. In this research, scientists studied how the structure of MOFs can be tuned to enhance and optimize trapping of nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide.
It’s challenging to achieve significant curve correction during a spinal fusion “graduation” surgery for children with early onset scoliosis. Over the years, bone auto-fuses and stiffens around growing rods—making the spine tougher to straighten during this final procedure.
Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, has released its Rutgers Research and Innovation Annual Impact Report for Fiscal Year 2024.
