Medical Xpress / Meningococcal B vaccine ineffective in gonorrhea prevention for men who have sex with men
The meningococcal B vaccine is ineffective in gonorrhea prevention among men who have sex with men (MSM) at high risk of infection, according to findings from the world's largest randomized controlled trial (RCT) into possible ...
Medical Xpress / Geriatric patients can independently manage appropriately-designed digital nutrition apps, study shows
In an era where digital health applications are booming, older adults, particularly those facing the physical and psychological toll of post-acute rehabilitation, are frequently left out of the equation because of assumptions ...
Medical Xpress / Food insecurity linked to choice of telehealth abortion
Individuals seeking abortion face considerable challenges, including high costs, logistical difficulties such as travel and dependent care, and fear of stigma. In recent years, access to care has improved through telehealth ...
Phys.org / From The Godfather to Middlemarch: 8 of the most faithful adaptations ever
Adapting canonical literary classics into cinema is an inherently difficult task, as it requires walking a razor's edge between remaining faithful to the text and translating it into another medium.
Phys.org / Morning glories reveal 96% drop in adaptation as pollinator pressure reshapes evolution
Facing both climate change and a crashing pollinator population, plants may be evolving to attract pollinators rather than adapting to a warming climate, and the trade-off has resulted in a steep decline in plants' rate of ...
Tech Xplore / Lowering computational costs in decentralized finance systems using AI-assisted contract development
Researchers have developed a benchmarking framework to assess whether artificial intelligence (AI) can generate decentralized finance (DeFi) smart contracts that are efficient and cost-effective, lowering computational costs, ...
Phys.org / Newly identified 'saprotropism' helps roots avoid decaying plant matter—but not animal decay
Decaying matter shapes life in soil, but it can also create hostile zones for growing roots. Professor Jiří Friml of the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) and international collaborators have now identified ...
Tech Xplore / Birdlike robot swims underwater, then flaps into flight without paddling
Loons, gulls, puffins and petrels are some of the 100 species of birds that can both fly and swim. These diving birds can plunge into water to swim after prey, and leap back into the air to fly away.
Medical Xpress / Brain-body connection: Expert shares tips to reduce risk of cognitive decline, Alzheimer's disease
The same lifestyle choices that reduce your risk of heart disease, diabetes and cancer can also reduce your risk of cognitive decline. Bryan Woodruff, M.D., a cognitive neurologist at Mayo Clinic in Arizona, explains the ...
Phys.org / Volcanoes and wildfires are adding water vapor to the stratosphere, raising climate concerns
Moderate volcanic eruptions and extreme wildfires since 2005 have led to an increase in the amount of water vapor in the stratosphere, a layer of Earth's atmosphere above the weather-filled troposphere. That's potentially ...
Phys.org / AI identifies new particle models that may explain neutrinos' tiny mass
Physicists at the University of California, Irvine, have developed an artificial intelligence system that can autonomously design theoretical physics models, a task traditionally carried out by human theorists. The approach ...
Medical Xpress / Evidence reveals that the language of thought is not natural language
Some people find it useful to talk through their problems—but language isn't necessary for logical reasoning, cognitive neuroscientists at MIT's McGovern Institute for Brain Research say.
