University at Albany researchers have been awarded $611,000 from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture to develop a new, fast-acting tool for Salmonella detection. Similar to the test strips used to measure pH or detect COVID-19, it will display results on a color-changing panel — purple if positive, red if negative. If successful, the test will reduce the time it takes to detect salmonella in food from days to hours, making it possible to quickly implement preemptive measures to prevent human illness and lost revenue.
Understanding the human exposome — a person’s myriad health exposures over a lifetime — can reveal unknowns about diseases not explained fully by our DNA. Artificial intelligence will be indispensable in efforts to understand the role of biology and environment in disease and health.

Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory, in collaboration with three other national labs, have developed a free online platform to help utilities understand how solar energy projects will affect the operation of their power systems. This capability can increase utilities’ confidence in expanding their solar portfolios, protecting reliable delivery of electricity while supporting U.S. efforts to slow climate change.
Les recommandations de la Commission des thérapies chirurgicales de l'ILAE suggèrent de référer chaque patient de moins de 70 ans souffrant d'épilepsie résistante aux médicaments pour une évaluation plus approfondie dès qu'ils ont échoué à deux médicaments anticonvulsivants. Et bien que la chirurgie puisse être une option pour jusqu'à 40 % d'entre eux, moins de 1 % sont référés aux centres d'épilepsie chaque année.

Two physicists at Jefferson Lab have been selected as fellows for the distinguished Oppenheimer Science and Energy Leadership Program (OSELP), considered the highest honor for leadership training among national labs.
One of the most common genetic heart diseases worldwide, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) causes the walls of the left ventricle to become thick and stiff. In about 70 percent of cases, patients with HCM experience obstruction to blood flow, which increases pressures in the heart and can lead to chest pain, shortness of breath and reduced exercise capacity. While invasive interventions can restore selected patients’ quality of life, pharmacologic therapies that are safe, well-tolerated and that reliably improve how patients feel and function remain an unmet need for patients with obstructive HCM. Now, a phase 3 trial has shown that a cardiac myosin inhibitor called aficamten enhances exercise capacity in patients with HCM and leads to significant relief in the burden of limiting symptoms, improving the quality of patients' lives
Member States of the World Health Organization (WHO) were due to converge on text for a global pandemic agreement during their ninth and final negotiating session in March; however, insufficient progress was made in those two weeks, in terms of finding consensus.
