Medical Xpress / 'I felt like a specimen'—new clinical recommendations aim to improve trauma‑informed care in pelvic medicine
An estimated 64% of adults in Canada report experiencing at least one potentially psychologically traumatic event during their lifetime, and in the United States, research suggests the figure may be closer to 90%.
Medical Xpress / Gut health supplement relieves arthritis pain, finds new study
A new study has found that a prebiotic fiber supplement reduced pain, improved grip strength, and lowered pain sensitivity in people with knee osteoarthritis (OA)—with far fewer dropouts than a digital physiotherapy program. ...
Phys.org / Photonic 'ski jumps' efficiently beam light into free space
Photonic chips use light to process data instead of electricity, enabling faster communication speeds and greater bandwidth. Most of that light typically stays on the chip, trapped in optical wires, and is difficult to transmit ...
Medical Xpress / Scan that makes prostate cancer cells glow could cut need for biopsies
An imaging test could safely halve the number of people who need a biopsy for suspected prostate cancer following inconclusive or reassuring results from an MRI scan, new research has found. Findings from the PRIMARY2 trial ...
Phys.org / Flood tolerant wetland crops could also support nature recovery, finds new research
Research led by the University of Cambridge and the RSPB shows that farming wetland-adapted crops on wetter peat—known as paludiculture—can support richer and more diverse bird communities than drained grassland.
Phys.org / Fiber setup compresses mid-infrared pulses to 187 femtoseconds using just 80 watts
Ultrashort mid-infrared (mid-IR) laser pulses are essential for applications such as molecular spectroscopy, nonlinear microscopy, and biomedical imaging, but their generation often relies on complex and power-intensive systems ...
Phys.org / Cracking the code: How a 'prediction machine' is resurrecting the Singapore Stone
Several years ago, my linguistic research team and I began developing a computational tool we call "Read-y Grammarian." Our goal was to reconstruct the highly fragmentary text of the Singapore Stone, a relic from the 10th ...
Phys.org / Webb spots details in nearby spiral galaxy NGC 5134
Two powerful instruments of the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope joined forces to create this scenic galaxy view. This spiral galaxy is named NGC 5134, and it is located 65 million light-years away in the constellation ...
Phys.org / Golden lancehead genome reveals how genes responsible for venom toxins evolved
A research team led by scientists at the Butantan Institute in São Paulo, Brazil, has completed the most extensive genetic sequencing of a jararaca viper to date. The focus of the study was the genome of the golden lancehead ...
Phys.org / Corpses leave clues behind in the soil long after they're gone
It is not uncommon for a body to be moved after a murder, usually to hide or eliminate evidence. And while the Arizona desert may seem like the perfect place to commit such a crime, a new study shows that a cadaver can still ...
Phys.org / Plants pause, play and fast-forward their growth depending on types of climate stress
Plants pause their growth during stress, then press play when conditions improve, helping them recover and live on to produce food, according to a new study published in New Phytologist. UBC researchers have pinpointed the ...
Medical Xpress / Open 3D Human Organ Atlas lets users explore anatomy in unprecedented detail
An international team of scientists and clinicians has announced the launch of a new open-access 3D portal that allows users to explore intact human organs in unprecedented detail—from the whole organ down to individual ...
