Phys.org / Climate change increases spillover risk of rodent-borne arenaviruses, study warns
Climate change is likely to drive rodent-borne arenaviruses into parts of South America that have never faced these diseases, putting new communities of people at risk, finds a study from the University of California, Davis. ...
Medical Xpress / Low-dose eye drops can manage adult myopia for 24 hours
Groundbreaking research from the University of Houston shows that a single low-dose atropine eye drop can produce daylong effects in managing myopia, or nearsightedness, which affects roughly one-third of U.S. adults. Professor ...
Tech Xplore / Against the wind: Researchers show how flight angles affect turbulence
At high speeds, even the smallest movement can have major consequences. When an aircraft tilts sharply during flight, the air around it does not flow smoothly. It twists into powerful, swirling currents that can destabilize ...
Phys.org / Hidden risk pushes 459 Northwest communities higher on wildfire danger scale
A new wildfire risk assessment tool that takes social vulnerability into account indicates that more than 400 communities in the Pacific Northwest are at greater risk than previously thought. However, researchers at Oregon ...
Phys.org / No more guesswork in drug design—atomic-resolution method exposes what trial and error keep missing
Drug discovery still too often relies on expensive trial and error. Researchers from ICTER show there is another way—building molecules step by step and observing their behavior at atomic resolution. This approach could significantly ...
Phys.org / Louisiana's shrinking coast may offer world early guide to climate adaptation
A Tulane University-led team of interdisciplinary researchers says coastal Louisiana's climate-driven land loss and population shifts could position the state to become a global leader in planning for climate adaptation.
Medical Xpress / A hidden crisis after childbirth is killing fathers, and most deaths never had to happen
It took the better part of a century for maternal mortality to be recognized, forgotten, and finally recognized again as an urgent public health crisis in the United States. In contrast, research shows fathers—particularly ...
Medical Xpress / Obesity and Alzheimer's linked by disease-driving metabolic pathways
By 2030, the population in the United States aged 65 and older is expected to reach 71 million or about 20% of Americans. This growth is likely to increase the burden of age-related diseases, particularly Alzheimer's disease ...
Phys.org / A quiet Alaska fault is missing the fluids scientists expected, and it's changing what we know about earthquake zones
Not all earthquake faults behave the same. Some stick and snap, causing earthquakes. Others move slowly over time.
Medical Xpress / Complete remission of aggressive pituitary tumor achieved through immunotherapy
Researchers at the University of Cincinnati Gardner Neuroscience Institute's Brain Tumor Center have been confirmed as the first in the world to achieve complete remission of a rare pituitary cancer using a novel immunotherapy ...
Phys.org / Eucalyptus bark points the way to cleaner water and air
Eucalyptus bark, usually stripped from logs and treated as waste, could be repurposed to help clean polluted water, filter dirty air and capture carbon dioxide, according to new research from RMIT University. Researchers ...
Medical Xpress / Egg consumption associated with a lower risk of Alzheimer's disease
Consumption of eggs is associated with a lower risk of being diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease for those 65 years and older, according to researchers at Loma Linda University Health. Eating one egg per day for at least five ...
