Medical Xpress / Cannabis: What is the profile of adults at low risk of dependence?
A new study led by Marie-Pierre Sylvestre, professor at the Université de Montréal School of Public Health, examines cannabis use four to five years after Canadian legalization by adopting a different perspective: Rather ...
Tech Xplore / Choosing experiments randomly can help scientists develop better theories, new model reveals
The race to develop a virtual scientist—an AI creation that conducts every stage of research, from idea to publication—has consumed researchers, start-up founders, and tech juggernauts alike.
Medical Xpress / Eyes may be a window into early Alzheimer's detection
The eyes—specifically, the outer area of the retina—may provide a window into early detection of Alzheimer's disease (AD) long before irreversible brain damage has occurred, according to new research from Houston Methodist. ...
Tech Xplore / Hot cities, safer buildings: A cooling coating that can also reduce fire risk
An international research team has demonstrated how conventional radiative cooling coatings can be optimized to further reduce building surface temperatures, cutting energy consumption, while also improving fire safety.
Medical Xpress / Blood and urine DNA tests may help some bladder cancer patients avoid surgery
Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have reported promising findings that may help redefine treatment for patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer, a potentially aggressive form of the disease traditionally ...
Phys.org / Ten new insights in climate science
Each year, the world's leading climate scientists evaluate the most critical evidence on how our planet is changing. Their assessments draw heavily on data from Earth-observing satellites—and the latest report delivers ...
Medical Xpress / Fueling for gold: How nutrition impacts strength, speed, and recovery in Olympic athletes
If our bodies are machines and food is fuel, it is safe to say that elite performance requires high-octane nutrition. As the Winter Olympics continue in Italy, the world watches as top athletes display the highest capabilities ...
Medical Xpress / Hospice use after ICU admission increased across the US from 2011–2023
In recent years, medical guidelines and national policies have pushed hospitals to offer more palliative care to patients who are seriously ill. This has led to a major rise in palliative care use, especially among people ...
Phys.org / Why do people living at high altitudes have better glucose control? The answer was in plain sight
In a 2023 paper on hypoxia and glucose metabolism, our lab showed how organisms rewire their metabolism to adapt to low oxygen levels—such as those found at high altitudes. One of the most striking observations from that ...
Phys.org / Terahertz spectroscopy finds nitrogen can lengthen GaAs-like LO phonon decay
An Osaka Metropolitan University-led research team investigated the decay time of coherent longitudinal optical (LO) phonons both in a GaAs1−xNx epilayer and in a GaAs single crystal to clarify the effects of dilute nitridation.
Medical Xpress / Big Five personality traits showed little link to changing exercise beliefs
Physical activity is a key piece of a person's overall health and quality of life. But physical activity rates among college students (particularly female students) have declined in recent years, and little research has been ...
Medical Xpress / Urine DNA test may spot Lynch syndrome urinary cancers before symptoms
A pioneering genetic test is improving early diagnosis and treatment for people with hereditary cancer caused by a genetic condition. The test, developed with the help of Newcastle University scientists, identifies specific ...
