Medical Xpress / Rural residents have less access to neonatal intensive care
For many newborn infants, access to a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) can mean the difference between life and death. The specialized staff and equipment available at NICUs are essential for infants with complex medical ...
Medical Xpress / Energy insecurity linked to higher rates of anxiety and depression
A new study from the Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter School of Public Policy identifies energy insecurity—the inability to meet basic household energy needs—as a critical, yet often overlooked, social determinant of health.
Medical Xpress / New Raman imaging system detects subtle tumor signals
Researchers have developed a new compact Raman imaging system that is sensitive enough to differentiate between tumor and normal tissue. The system offers a promising route to earlier cancer detection and to making molecular ...
Medical Xpress / Key lung immune cells can intensify allergic reactions
Alveolar macrophages are immune cells that live in the tiny air sacs of the lungs. Under normal conditions, these cells act as guardians, keeping the lungs healthy, supporting breathing, and preventing unnecessary immune ...
Phys.org / Super strain-resistant superconductors: Study narrows down the hidden symmetry
Superconductors are materials that can conduct electricity with zero resistance, usually only at very low temperatures. Most superconductors behave according to well-established rules, but strontium ruthenate, Sr₂RuO₄, ...
Phys.org / Q&A: New method measures how quickly heat spreads through mountain permafrost
Mountain permafrost is warming and thawing worldwide due to climate change, with ground temperature being a key control of its mechanical stability. Heat conduction is the dominant mode of heat transfer in frozen ground, ...
Phys.org / Citizens have greater trust in parliaments with higher female representation, new research finds
New research from the University of St Andrews has found that increases in women's parliamentary representation within a country are related to enhanced public trust in the national parliament.
Phys.org / PFAS detection in 15 minutes: A sensor system for rapid on-site analysis
PFAS are forever chemicals that do not degrade in the environment. They enter soil and water, accumulate in plants, animals and humans, and can be harmful to health. The problem: Until now, detecting them has been complicated, ...
Phys.org / Vitamin Sea: How tiny ocean lifeforms shape nutrition
When humans need more Vitamin B12—a nutrient that makes healthy red blood cells and turns food into energy—we can get it by taking a supplement or eating fish. But what about ocean life, including the seafood we eat? ...
Medical Xpress / Most Americans still get nicotine wrong
Nicotine is the drug that keeps people coming back to cigarettes, but not the substance that causes serious health effects in people who use tobacco. It is the tar and toxic chemical mix in tobacco and tobacco smoke that ...
Medical Xpress / NU-9 halts Alzheimer's disease in animal model before symptoms begin
An experimental drug developed at Northwestern University has demonstrated further promise as an early intervention for Alzheimer's disease.
Phys.org / A simple spin swap reveals exotic anyons
Researchers from the University of Innsbruck, the Collège de France, and the Université Libre de Bruxelles have developed a simple yet powerful method to reveal anyons—exotic quantum particles that are neither bosons ...
