Medical Xpress / US adults may not understand their risk for vascular disease
Despite the high prevalence of vascular disease, few U.S. adults report discussing their vascular health, according to the results of a survey released by the Society for Vascular Surgery.
Phys.org / Anger, hope and compassion do little to spur more climate donations
Emotional mechanisms are frequently used to inspire good environmental behavior. But how effective are they at inspiring actual sustainable change? Perhaps not as much as previously believed, according to a new study that ...
Medical Xpress / Trauma-induced changes in the brain differ significantly between males and females
Exposure to stress during critical developmental windows significantly increases the risk of developing mood and anxiety disorders in adulthood. While women and sexual- and gender-minority groups experience higher rates of ...
Medical Xpress / IASLC tumor budding grade identifies high-risk patients with resected lung squamous cell carcinoma
A newly proposed International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) tumor budding–based grading system successfully identified patients with resected lung squamous cell carcinoma (SqCC) at higher risk of poor ...
Phys.org / Snail shells are surprising weather time capsules
Snails carry weather records on their backs that could be used to map prehistoric cyclones, a University of Queensland study has shown. The project led by School of the Environment researchers examined the rings on the shell ...

Could the secret to bouncing back after a grueling practice be as simple as sleeping just a little bit longer for one night?
Medical Xpress / AI tool successfully predicts outcomes of immunotherapy in lung cancer
Artificial intelligence (AI) tools can help physicians predict treatment and survival outcomes in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with immunotherapy, according to a new study published in ...
Phys.org / Series of reactions reveals how complex carbon chemistry can begin in frigid space
Before there was Earth, there was chemistry. In the unimaginable cold, dark clouds where stars and planets are born, carbon molecules assemble into more complex forms—starting a chemical journey that could eventually deliver ...
Medical Xpress / Prostate cancer: Specialized imaging could prevent unnecessary biopsies
An elevated PSA level in the blood may indicate prostate cancer but does not allow for a definitive diagnosis. Where there is a corresponding suspicion, a tissue sample is usually taken from the prostate. A study by the Medical ...
Medical Xpress / Miniaturized bone marrow-on-a-chip tracks human immune cells as they build lasting antibody defenses
A scientific team has developed a laboratory model that reveals how antibody-producing plasma cells migrate, mature and survive within human bone marrow, a main location of long-lived antibody-producing plasma cells. The ...
Phys.org / Structural study explains how cells stabilize protective membrane pockets
Our cells' membranes have many functions. They not only provide mechanical protection but also precisely control which substances enter or leave cells. If they fail to perform these tasks, disease can result. Their structure ...
Phys.org / Radiation-tolerant rotifers rebuild broken chromosomes over successive generations
DNA repair mechanisms are essential for maintaining the integrity of our genome. When they malfunction, they can cause disease or contribute to the development of cancer. Nature, however, offers remarkable examples of organisms ...
