Heart attacks have been the leading cause of death in the U.S. for a century. While most treatments for cardiac events target breaking down blood clots, Georgia Tech researchers have found a way to prevent blood clots from even forming. Dramatically, their drug is shown to completely knock out the formation of blood clots without increasing the risks of bleeds in vivo.
Understanding how materials can convert heat into electricity benefits from a view of those materials at the atomic scale. New research examined how the vibrational modes called phonons work in nanostructures and the interfaces between materials to more fully understand how heat transfers in those materials. This information can help researchers tailor thermoelectric properties on the nanoscale and design advanced nanodevices.
AERA President Janelle T. Scott and Executive Director Felice J. Levine issued the following joint letter on June 18, 2024.
When second-year neurology resident Dr. Keelie Denson asked her ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) patients what they found most lacking in ALS care, the answer was easy for Angela Amar. She and her three children, now adults, had been caring for her husband Robert for more than 14 years. Like most others they know in the tightly knit ALS community, they needed “hands-on care for our loved ones.” As her husband’s disease progressed, getting him to Houston Methodist’s ALS Clinic and other appointments became a monumental struggle. For Robert, leaving home was becoming impossible. And, added Angela, it is so very difficult to find caregivers and nurses experienced in caring for someone on a ventilator, feeding tube dependent, non-verbal and paralyzed. Dr. Denson used the Amar family’s feedback to help design a first-of-its-kind study offering old-time house calls to homebound ALS patients.
Rutgers Institute for Health researcher finds that Black patients who leave hospice care and patients with short stays in hospice care are at increased risks for being admitted to a hospital after being discharged from hospice.
يصعُب علاج سرطان الدماغ عندما يبدأ في النمو، فالنوع السائد، المعروف باسم الورم الدِبقي، لديه معدل بقاء على قيد الحياة لا يتعدى الخمس سنوات. في دراسة جديدة نُشرت في Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences، أعلن باحثو مايو كلينك عن منصة جراحية جديدة تُستخدم أثناء الجراحة والتي توجه عملية اتخاذ القرارات الحاسمة بشأن علاج الورم في غضون دقائق. فالوقت له أهمية قصوى عند التعامل مع الأورام الخبيثة العدوانية.

The Argonne in Chicago South Side STEM Opportunity Landscape Project was awarded the Societal Impact Award by the Chicago Council on Science and Technology (C2ST) for its commitment to advancing equity and opportunity in STEM education and careers across underserved communities.
A statistical tool designed to analyze 11 characteristics of postmortem brains reliably diagnosed a common neurodegenerative disease known as essential tremor (ET), a study led by researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center and Columbia University shows. Their findings, 20 years in the making and published in the Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, could eventually help relatives of deceased ET patients know their hereditary risk of getting the disease.
In low- and middle-income countries, anemia reduction efforts are often touted as a way to improve educational outcomes and reduce poverty. A new study, co-authored by a global health economics expert from the University of Notre Dame, evaluates the relationship between anemia and school attendance in India, debunking earlier research that could have misguided policy interventions.
In his research, M.S. Krishnan, Accenture Professor of Computer Information Systems and professor of technology and operations, explores how digital technology and artificial intelligence are shaping modern business practices.
