Medical Xpress / Foreign aid cuts to tuberculosis services could cost families $80 billion worldwide
More than a year after the second Trump administration began dismantling the US Agency for International Development (USAID), the global health consequences of this unprecedented loss in international aid continue to surface. ...
Medical Xpress / Families invited to trial new ADHD sleep tool as research shows gaps in clinician training
Almost two-thirds of children with ADHD experience significant sleep difficulties, such as taking a long time to fall asleep, waking frequently through the night or waking very early. Researchers interviewed 15 specialist ...
Medical Xpress / Orchestrated multi-agent AI systems outperform single agents in health care
As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes more common in health care, from managing records to assisting with medication decisions, researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai are asking an important question: ...
Phys.org / Mining the dark transcriptome: Synthesizing the first potential drug molecules from long noncoding RNA
A team from University of Toronto Engineering is the first to synthesize long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) outside the cell—a new approach to drug discovery that has already yielded some promising anti-inflammatory molecules. ...
Phys.org / Superconductivity controlled by a built-in light-confining cavity
For the first time, physicists have demonstrated that a material's superconductivity can be altered by coupling it to an in-built, light-confining cavity. In experiments published in Nature, a team led by Itai Keren at Columbia ...
Tech Xplore / Hybrid AI planner turns images into robot action plans
MIT researchers have developed a generative artificial intelligence-driven approach for planning long-term visual tasks, like robot navigation, that is about twice as effective as some existing techniques. Their method uses ...
Phys.org / 3D-printed photonic lanterns combine up to 37 multimode lasers into one fiber
Researchers have developed a microscopic 3D-printed optical device that can efficiently combine light from dozens of small semiconductor lasers into a single multimode optical fiber with very low loss. The team demonstrated ...
Medical Xpress / Study shows link between ADHD and mental ill health in teens
Scientists have shed light on some reasons why young people with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder—known as ADHD—are prone to anxiety and depression. Young people with ADHD symptoms are more likely to experience ...
Medical Xpress / Trial finds vitamin D supplements don't reduce COVID severity but could reduce long COVID risk
In a large, randomized trial, researchers at Mass General Brigham found that high-dose vitamin D3 did not reduce COVID-19 infection severity, but may impact long COVID outcomes. Results of the study are published in The Journal ...
Medical Xpress / Blood marker for Alzheimer's may also be useful in heart and kidney diseases
A certain blood protein regarded as an early indicator of Alzheimer's disease also appears to play a role in other disorders. Researchers at DZNE and the Hertie Institute for Clinical Brain Research (HIH) at the University ...
Phys.org / Study captures single polymer segments sticking and slipping on surfaces
Kyushu University researchers have directly observed, for the first time, how individual polymers—chain-like molecules—behave when in contact with solid surfaces. Published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, ...
Phys.org / How changes on the Y chromosome may make species reproductively incompatible
When closely related species mate, their offspring sometimes survive but cannot reproduce. This pattern often affects males first, with hybrid males frequently failing to produce functional sperm even when hybrid females ...
