Medical Xpress / Scientific statement focused on post-stroke spasticity urges early diagnosis, intervention for improved recovery
For many stroke survivors, recovery is derailed by painful muscle stiffness and involuntary spasms that limit movement, independence, and quality of life. Often viewed as an unavoidable consequence of stroke, this condition—known ...
Medical Xpress / STS: Assessment of more than one nodal station tied to increased upstaging, survival in NSCLC
For adults with clinically node-negative non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), assessment of more than one N1 nodal station is associated with increased nodal upstaging and improved survival, according to a study presented ...
Medical Xpress / What a new twins study reveals about genes, environment and longevity
Why do some people live to 100 while their sibling dies decades earlier? Is it luck, lifestyle, or something written into their DNA? Relative to many other species, humans are particularly long-lived, but there is an ongoing ...
Medical Xpress / 'Molecular glue' from this San Diego startup makes cancer self-destruct: Clinical trial begins
This local biotech says it has found a way to trick cancer cells into destroying themselves with its molecular glue. Now it's putting that claim to the test. After attracting global attention from researchers and billions ...
Phys.org / Scientists explain why methane spiked in the early 2020s
A combination of weakened atmospheric removal and increased emissions from warming wetlands, rivers, lakes, and agricultural land increased atmospheric methane at an unprecedented rate in the early 2020s, an international ...
Tech Xplore / Dynamic digital product passports for short-shelf-life food and drink could cut waste and improve safety
Dynamic digital product passports—real-time, intelligent digital records that capture the true condition of perishable goods such as food and drink throughout their life cycle—could dramatically cut waste and improve ...
Phys.org / Tropical weather cycles linked to faster Arctic ice loss in autumn
When it comes to global warming and climate change, we often hear news stories about tipping points where Earth's systems shift into a new and dangerous state. One such may have been reached in the year 2000 that caused tropical ...
Medical Xpress / Researchers identify two emerging animal viruses as potential global health threats
Infectious disease experts are sounding the alarm about two pathogens in animals that have the potential to trigger the next major health crisis.
Phys.org / Earth's largest volcanic event reshaped an oceanic plate, seismic wave analysis reveals
A research group has revealed through seismic wave analysis that the oceanic plate beneath the Ontong Java Plateau—the world's largest oceanic plateau—was extensively altered by massive volcanic activity during its formation. ...
Phys.org / Capturing gravity waves: Scientists break 'decades of gridlock' in climate modeling
Global climate models capture many of the processes that shape Earth's weather and climate. Based on physics, chemistry, fluid motion and observed data, hundreds of these models agree that more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere ...
Phys.org / Global map catalogs 459 rare continental mantle earthquakes since 1990
Stanford researchers have created the first-ever global map of a rare earthquake type that occurs not in Earth's crust but in our planet's mantle, the layer sandwiched between the thin crust and Earth's molten core. The new ...
Tech Xplore / Decoding the shadows: Vehicle recognition software uncovers unusual traffic behavior
Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed a deep learning algorithm that analyzes drone, camera, and sensor data to reveal unusual vehicle patterns that may indicate illicit activity, ...
