Tech Xplore / Tiny battery-free tags turn radio waves into a new way to track breathing at home and in hospitals
The same wireless technology that can track your cat or locate an item in a warehouse can also monitor your breathing. Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sahlgrenska University Hospital and the University of ...
Medical Xpress / Largest study of pregnancy sickness uncovers six new genetic links
The USC research team that recently identified the hormone-encoding gene GDF15 as a key driver of pregnancy sickness has identified nine additional genes linked to its most severe form, hyperemesis gravidarum (HG). Six of ...
Phys.org / Referee decisions in soccer frequently overturned following VAR-assisted review: No external influences found
In an analysis of a video-assisted, pitch-side review of soccer (UK football) referee calls in the English Premier League, referees overturned their original call 95% of the time. However, these decisions had no statistical ...
Medical Xpress / Is mouthwash bad for the heart? Here's what the research actually says
Social media videos are claiming that mouthwash can raise the risk of blood pressure—and potentially damage heart health.
Phys.org / Discovery of Addison's disease gene in dogs could help humans as well
Among dog breeds, Nova Scotia duck tolling retrievers (tollers) have an unusually high rate of Addison's disease, a condition in which the adrenal glands do not produce enough hormones, notably cortisol and aldosterone. In ...
Medical Xpress / A major cancer protein hijacks RNA editing, exposing a new weakness in prostate tumors
Northwestern Medicine scientists have uncovered an unexpected role for a well-known cancer-related protein, revealing a new layer of genetic regulation that could reshape how certain cancers are treated. In a new study published ...
Tech Xplore / AI-guided snakebot unlocks rolling move that doubles speed per unit power
Snake-like robots represent the future of rescue. Their slender bodies allow them to navigate narrow spaces, uneven terrain, and water surfaces, entering places that would be hazardous for humans. This could potentially save ...
Phys.org / Ocean eddies are amplifying climate extremes in coastal seas, study finds
New research reveals a powerful yet overlooked driver of climate change: intensifying ocean eddies. These swirling currents—that break off from major currents—are redistributing heat and nutrients in the ocean and amplifying ...
Medical Xpress / Robotic or laparoscopic surgery can be successful for gallbladder cancer in select patients
Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is a rare form of cancer with no signs or symptoms in the early stages. In the U.S., approximately 2,000 people die annually from this condition, with only 20% diagnosed at an early stage. Surgery ...
