Medical Xpress / Low neighborhood walkability is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease
Low neighborhood walkability is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), according to research presented April 3 at ESC Preventive Cardiology 2025, a scientific congress of the European Society of Cardiology. ...
Medical Xpress / Two Louisiana infants die of whooping cough amid drop in vaccinations
Health experts are warning that whooping cough, also known as pertussis, is making a dangerous comeback.
Tech Xplore / New splitting method: Bringing satellites into the 5G era
Global mobile communications that reliably reach every remote region, leaving no gaps on the map? Satellites play a key role in achieving this goal. In the future, however, not all satellites will be powerful enough to act ...
Medical Xpress / Unnecessary imaging scans contributing to climate change
Thinking of splurging on a whole-body MRI or CT scan, based on the latest health fad?
Phys.org / Students design a mission to Venus on the cheap
Sometimes, the best way to learn how to do something is just to do it. That is especially true if you're learning to do something using a specific methodology. And in some cases, the outcome of your efforts is something that's ...
Phys.org / E. coli evolutionary map could lead to precision medicine against antibiotic resistance
The first-of-its-kind in-depth bacterial evolutionary map could pave the way for the development of precision treatments for certain antibiotic-resistant infections, such as urinary tract infections.
Phys.org / Extracellular vesicles as a cellular tracking tool could yield new therapies for polycystic kidney disease
For patients with polycystic kidney disease (PKD), a common genetic disorder that ravages the waste-removing organ with cysts, dialysis and transplantation are among the only treatments.
Phys.org / Electrochemical method supports nitrogen circular economy
Imagine a world where industrial waste isn't just reduced, it's turned into something useful. This kind of circular economy is already in the works for carbon. Now, researchers at Washington University in St. Louis have developed ...
Phys.org / Imagining what the world could look like without fossil fuels spurs people to action
Human activity has already warmed the planet by more than one degree Celsius, fueling forest fires, exacerbating floods, super-powering storms and increasing the frequency of deadly heat waves.
Tech Xplore / Recycling wind turbine blade materials to make improved plastics
A new method to recycle wind turbine blades without using harsh chemicals resulted in the recovery of high-strength glass fibers and resins that allowed Washington State University researchers to repurpose the materials to ...
Medical Xpress / A new targeted approach could protect neurons against degeneration
Neurodegenerative conditions such as Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's involve progressive neuronal loss due to disease-induced damage. An enzyme known as dual leucine-zipper kinase (DLK) plays a key role in this process, ...
Phys.org / Zeolite catalyst enables sustainable production of biodegradable plastic materials
Methyl methoxyacetate and methyl formate, two of the most important carbonyl‐containing chemicals, can be produced directly by zeolite‐catalyzed carbonylation and disproportionation of DMM, using a heterogeneous catalyst, ...
