Medical Xpress / Risk-factor changes could prevent the majority of sudden cardiac arrests
A new study identifying 56 non-clinical risk factors associated with sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), spanning lifestyle, physical measures, psychosocial factors, socioeconomic status, and the local environment, offers compelling ...
Medical Xpress / Researchers find link between HPV and thyroid eye disease
University of Miami Miller School of Medicine researchers have identified molecular evidence linking human papillomavirus (HPV) to thyroid eye disease (TED) through molecular mimicry involving HPV capsid proteins and autoimmune ...
Medical Xpress / Circular breathwork induces altered states of consciousness linked to improved mental health
Researchers from the Ernst Strüngmann Institute for Neuroscience, the MIND Foundation, alongside other collaborators, have found that reductions in carbon dioxide saturation during circular breathwork sessions were correlated ...
Phys.org / Popularly eaten fish among key seabed engineers, research shows
Many of the fish we eat play a key role in maintaining the seabed—and therefore our climate, new research shows. Convex Seascape Survey scientists assessed the role of fish in bioturbation (churning and reworking sediments) ...
Phys.org / Noto quake 3D model adds dimension to understand earthquake dynamics
On New Year's Day 2024, a massive 7.5-magnitude earthquake struck the Noto Peninsula in north central Japan, resulting in extensive damage in the region caused by uplift, when the land rises due to shifting tectonic plates. ...
Medical Xpress / Nasal microbiome may help explain link between olfactory dysfunction and cognitive decline
As humans age, particularly after middle age, their brain functions, cognitive abilities and memory can deteriorate to varying degrees. Aging-related disorders marked by cognitive decline, particularly dementia, have become ...
Tech Xplore / Repurposed Roombas: Scientists program domestic robots for additional household tasks
At a time when we run ourselves ragged to meet society's expectations of productivity, performance and time optimization, is it right that our robot vacuum cleaners and other smart appliances should sit idle for most of the ...
Medical Xpress / Long-term study links chronic conditions in midlife to higher cancer risk and mortality
Researchers from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and the University of California, Los Angeles, identified that comorbidities in midlife are associated with an increased risk of developing cancer and cancer-related ...
Phys.org / Language structure shapes color-adjective links even for people born blind, study reveals
Humans are known to make mental associations between various real-world stimuli and concepts, including colors. For example, red and orange are typically associated with words such as "hot" or "warm," blue with "cool" or ...
Phys.org / Light signature algorithm offers precise insight on viral proteins, brain disease markers and semiconductors
Researchers at Rice University have developed a new machine learning (ML) algorithm that excels at interpreting the "light signatures" (optical spectra) of molecules, materials and disease biomarkers, potentially enabling ...
Medical Xpress / Trouble hearing in noisy places and crowded spaces? A new algorithm could help hearing aid users
When a group of friends gets together at a bar or gathers for an intimate dinner, conversations can quickly multiply and mix, with different groups and pairings chatting over and across one another.
Phys.org / FAST reveals new millisecond pulsar missed by earlier surveys due to signal overlap
Using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST), Chinese astronomers have discovered a new millisecond pulsar. The newfound pulsar, designated PSR J2129-1210O, was missed by previous searches as its ...
