A recent study has uncovered a significant link between chronic exposure to air pollution and an increased risk of various arrhythmias, representing a pivotal advance in environmental health research.
Scientists have achieved a monumental breakthrough in the realm of potassium-based batteries by developing a dendrite-free metallic-potassium anode. This innovation stabilizes the anode, which is essential for enhancing battery safety and performance, and could pave the way for more efficient and reliable energy storage solutions.
In a pivotal advancement for environmental conservation, researchers have pioneered piezoelectric techniques to efficiently degrade organic pollutants in water. This green approach converts mechanical stress into catalytic action, offering a sustainable and efficient method for water purification without relying on external energy sources.
A recent study conducted by the Department of Occupational and Environmental Health at Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, reveals a strong link between exposure to styrene and ethylbenzene, common air pollutants, and an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Participating in a high volume of exercise over a short period of time, such as cycling hundreds of miles in a few days, could reduce body fat levels without weight loss. The first-of-its-kind study is published ahead of print in the American Journal of Physiology-Endocrinology and Metabolism and has been chosen as an APSselect article for September.
Groundwater serves as a vital resource, yet dense non-aqueous phase liquid (DNAPL) contaminants pose a significant threat to its quality. New research delves into how the 3D microstructures of porous media influence DNAPL migration and the efficacy of surfactant-enhanced aquifer remediation (SEAR), offering promising solutions for subsurface clean-up.
Cerca de um terço da metade dos casos de câncer são evitáveis, de acordo com a Organização Mundial Da Saúde. O Dr. Jon Ebbert, diretor médico do Centro de Dependência de Nicotina da Mayo Clinic, diz que nunca é tarde demais para fazer mudanças no estilo de vida que possam diminuir o seu risco de desenvolver câncer.
Aproximadamente un tercio de la mitad de los casos de cáncer se pueden prevenir, según la Organización Mundial de la Salud. El Dr. Jon Ebbert, director médico del Centro de Adicción a la Nicotina de Mayo Clinic, dice que nunca es demasiado tarde para hacer cambios en el estilo de vida que puedan disminuir su riesgo de desarrollar cáncer.
Scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have shown that a type of qubit whose architecture is more amenable to mass production can perform comparably to qubits currently dominating the field.
روتشستر، ولاية مينيسوتا — يمكن الوقاية من حوالى ثلث إلى نصف حالات السرطان، وذلك وفقًا لتصريح منظمة الصحة العالمية. يقول جون إيبرت، دكتور في الطب، المدير الطبي لمركز علاج إدمان النيكوتين، أنه لم يفت الأوان أبدًا لإجراء تغييرات في نمط الحياة والتي من شأنها تقليل خطر الإصابة بمرض السرطان.
A team of international scientists alarmed by the loss of biodiversity across the world due to climate change has proposed a new approach to managing vulnerable landscapes, focusing on sites that are least impacted by changing weather.
A species of semi-aquatic lizard produces a special bubble over its nostrils to breathe underwater and avoid predators, according to new research from Binghamton University, State University of New York.
According to researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, 80% of patients with previously untreated or relapsed/refractory advanced-phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) – including both accelerated or myeloid blast phases of the disease – or Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute myeloid leukemia (AML) achieved a bone marrow remission when treated with a novel combination of decitabine, venetoclax and ponatinib.
The new study, led by researchers in the Saphire Lab at LJI, reveals the inner workings of the Ebola virus nucleocapsid. LA JOLLA, CA—At this moment, the world has few tools to combat deadly filoviruses, such as Ebola and Marburg viruses. The only approved vaccine and antibody treatments protect against just one filovirus species.
Teri Boudreaux was one of more than 5,000 women who joined a clinical trial that was looking at the benefit of adding the targeted therapy drug ribociclib to conventional hormonal therapy for the adjuvant treatment of HR-positive, HER2-negative early-stage breast cancer. I
What if a drug could help you live a longer, healthier life? Scientists at the University of Connecticut are working on it. In a new study in Cell Metabolism, researchers described how to target specific cells to extend the lifespan and improve the health of mice late in life.
Deep inside what we perceive as solid matter, the landscape is anything but stationary. The interior of the building blocks of the atom’s nucleus — particles called hadrons that most of us would recognize as protons and neutrons — are made up of a seething mixture of interacting quarks and gluons, known collectively as partons. The HadStruc collaboration has now come together to map out these partons and disentangle how they interact to form hadrons. Their latest findings were recently published in the Journal of High Energy Physics.
For many decades, the coca plant – the main ingredient in cocaine – has been grown almost exclusively in South America. But a new study shows that nearly half of northern Central America appears to be highly suitable for cultivating this lucrative cash crop.
