Research published in Science Advances traced the history of human’s ability to feel cold back to the molecular underpinnings of the cold and menthol sensor TRPM8 over hundreds of millions of years. The findings could lead to non-addictive pain medications, a crucial development given the opioid crisis.
A detailed new analysis of Easter Island’s rock gardens by a research team including faculty at Binghamton University, State University of New York shows that a hypothetical “population crash” never occurred on the island.
Join this virtual Q&A with Carl P. Lipo, PhD, Binghamton University, to discuss the upcoming embargoed paper about Easter Island agricultural and anthropology research.
UW researchers found that ChatGPT consistently ranked resumes with disability-related honors and credentials — such as the “Tom Wilson Disability Leadership Award” — lower than the same resumes without those honors and credentials. But when researchers customized the tool with written instructions directing it not to be ableist, the tool reduced this bias for all but one of the disabilities tested.
The FDA has expanded orphan drug designation for SurVaxM, a brain cancer immunotherapy born in the labs of Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center. The supplemental designation applies to SurVaxM as treatment for not just adult glioblastoma but any malignant glioma in children or adults.
While heat is the number one weather-related cause of death in the United States, many of these deaths are preventable, says an emergency medicine doctor at the Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine. Dr. Stephanie Lareau says it is vital to recognize signs and symptoms of heat-related illness. “Understanding the symptoms of exposure to extreme heat and managing the effects is crucial and that includes knowing early signs of heat exhaustion to prevent progression to heatstroke,” said Dr.
Critics say taxes exploit visitors, but officials argue that their intent is to encourage visitors to visit at less busy times and therefore spread out the congestion for a more sustainable tourism... ...
Climate change is causing a series of maladies by warming land and sea. A study published online in Limnology and Oceanography Letters, demonstrates that one consequence of climate change that has already occurred is the spread and intensification of toxic algae blooms in Lake Erie.
Rob Sprang doesn’t remember anything about Sept. 7, 2023. He doesn’t remember arriving at Lakeside Golf Course in Lexington for a round of golf with his friends. Nor does he remember standing on the fairway at the fourth hole, waiting to take his shot. He has no recollection of falling to the ground, unconscious and unresponsive.
Hackensack University Medical Center, in partnership with THINK Surgical, now offers robotically assisted knee replacement surgery with the TMINI™ Miniature Robotic System. The handheld TMINI System (video), is a wireless robot the surgeon uses to help restore patients' mobility so they can return to enjoying their favorite activities.
UK HealthCare Enterprise Director of Service Line Performance Management Susan Yackzan, Ph.D., has been elected to the national Oncology Nursing Society’s (ONS) board of directors. ONS is an association that represents 100,000 nurses and has 35,000 professional members. Its board of directors governs on behalf of members and has the ultimate authority for the activities of ONS.
Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have demonstrated that therapeutically restoring ‘youthful’ levels of a specific subunit of the telomerase enzyme can significantly reduce the signs and symptoms of aging in preclinical models. If these findings are confirmed in clinical studies, there may be therapeutic implications for age-related diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, heart disease and cancer.
A study by researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis shows that people with COVID-19 who used cannabis were more likely to be hospitalized and require intensive care than those who did not use the drug.
More than 23,000 children suffer an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest annually. Although the reported number of infant out-of-hospital cardiac arrests varies widely, survival to hospital discharge averages 6.5% for children less than 1 year old who experience an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. According to the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, unintentional choking and suffocation are a leading cause of all injury deaths for infants less than a year old. Nearly 3,500 infants die each year in the United States from sleep-related infant deaths such as suffocation, entrapment, strangulation and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).
