Early on in their training, medical students learn the signs and symptoms of most common medical conditions. For example, they can describe the difference between heart sounds within the first few weeks of training. Except when it comes to psychiatric disorders. Instead, they memorize lists and struggle to differentiate a loss of appetite with weight loss. Without a clear understanding of specific psychiatric symptoms, differentials are compromised and errors in diagnosis become more likely. To better prepare future physicians, and to help current physicians better diagnose important conditions effectively, several active-duty and prior service psychiatrists from the Uniformed Services University have released a new handbook, The Medical Evaluation of Psychiatric Symptoms.
Dementia stands as one of the most significant global health challenges of the 21st century, with over 50 million individuals worldwide currently affected, a number projected to triple by 2050, reaching 152 million, due to global population aging.
Study shows AI improves performance for some radiologists but worsens it for others.
Understanding who might benefit from AI and who would not is critical for designing tools that boost human performance.
Rabih Al-Kaysi’s molecular motors look like tiny worms, but they’re actually crystallized molecules that move in response to light. These machines could someday solve real-world problems, like being used as drug-delivery robots. The researchers will present their results at ACS Spring 2024.
Many disposable diapers and sanitary pads contain plastic and need centuries to decompose. Now, researchers are replacing the plastic with parts made from food waste. That could lead to biodegradable diapers and pads that could be used as fertilizer. They’ll present their results at ACS Spring 2024.
Vapes are thought to be a “safer” way to consume cannabis, but they present their own risks. Researchers have discovered toxic metal particles in vaping liquids even before first use of the device, and this toxicity was worse in illicit products. They will present their results at ACS Spring 2024.
Many studies on the climate crisis focus on researching temperature extremes on a global scale. Scientists at the University of Vienna have now uncovered an error in an established calculation method, leading to a systematic underestimation in the frequency of heat days.
A collaborative effort between Israeli and Italian researchers has led to the development of a new treatment strategy targeting the early-stage aggregation of A-beta before the formation of toxic oligomers.
A manned mission to Mars: it’s the next step in the global space race. But while agencies scurry to take pole position, UniSA experts say the innovations that will help us land the red planet are far more likely to come from next generation of STEM stars in schools.

A landmark study, led by Yen-Yu Ian Shih, PhD, at the UNC School of Medicine, shows how neurochemicals can influence blood vessels. The new findings may alter how researchers interpret results from functional magnetic resonance imaging.
تدفع فئة السكان المتقدمين في العمر الطلب العالمي لجراحة استبدال الركبة، بما يتجاوز مليون إجراء طبي سنويًا. في هذا المقال، يصف الدكتور تشارلز هانون، دكتور في الطب، جرّاح العظام في مايو كلينك في روتشستر، ابتكارات مثل الأدوات المتقدمة والجراحة الروبوتية الدقيقة التي تعمل على تحسين عملية استبدال الركبة بالكامل للمرضى.
Like protons and neutrons, Lambda particles consist of three quarks bound together by gluons. But unlike protons and neutrons, which contain a mixture of up and down quarks, Lambdas also contain a strange quark.
The Vanderbilt Health Center for Patient and Professional Advocacy (CPPA) will host a two-day, hands-on course in Nashville to equip hospital and health system leaders with strategies and tools to address unprofessionalism and create a safe, respectful and reliable environment inside their organizations.

New Cleveland Clinic-led research provides evidence that video laryngoscopy significantly decreased the number of attempts needed to achieve intubation in adult surgical patients who required single-lumen endotracheal intubation for general anesthesia, compared with direct laryngoscopy. The research was published today in JAMA.

Two progressively degenerative diseases, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD, recently in the news with the diagnoses of actor Bruce Willis and talk show host Wendy Williams), are linked by more than the fact that they both damage nerve cells critical to normal functioning — the former affecting nerves in the brain and spinal cord leading to loss of movement, the latter eroding the brain regions controlling personality, behavior and language.
In a first for the condensate field, researchers from the McKelvey School of Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis, figured out how nucleolar sub-structures are assembled.
