Medical Xpress / Children with severe pneumonia can leave hospital sooner after switching to oral antibiotics, trial shows
Children hospitalized with severe pneumonia can safely switch from injectable to oral antibiotics once they begin to recover, allowing many to return home sooner and complete treatment outside the hospital. That is according ...
Medical Xpress / Research reveals persistent racial disparities in stroke treatment and outcomes
Three studies presented at the Society of NeuroInterventional Surgery's (SNIS) 23rd Annual Meeting found that racial, geographic and socioeconomic disparities continue to influence stroke treatment and outcomes across the ...
Medical Xpress / What people look at most reflects their brains' specialization
While people explore the environment around them, their eyes constantly move between different objects, faces and other specific segments of a visual scene. This dynamic process allows them to prioritize visual information ...
Phys.org / Black hole jet may be stirring gas cloud containing early 'red potato' galaxy
A black hole may be stirring a "pot" of gas containing a neighboring galaxy in the early universe, according to a new study published in Astronomy & Astrophysics that used observations from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory. ...
Phys.org / AI tool predicts how DNA sequences switch on genes across different cell types
Deep learning approaches have transformed how scientists predict the activity and function of DNA sequences in the genome. A new AI tool called Corgi (Context-aware Regulatory Genomics Inference), developed by Martin Vingron's ...
Medical Xpress / Why air travel can be so hard on the body
At any given time, hundreds of thousands of people are traveling by air. For many, these journeys will pass without consequence. But for some, a routine flight may trigger a health emergency.
Medical Xpress / Largest genetic analysis of borderline personality disorder identifies 11 risk regions and nine genes
An international team led by the Central Institute of Mental Health in Mannheim has presented the largest genome-wide association study on borderline personality disorder to date. Data from about 13,000 affected people and ...
Medical Xpress / Focused ultrasound may enhance chemotherapy, survival outcomes for pancreatic cancer
A phase 2 clinical trial published in the European Journal of Cancer suggests that a novel form of focused ultrasound combined with standard FOLFIRINOX chemotherapy may improve tumor response and survival outcomes in patients ...
Phys.org / Jurassic sea monster was smaller than once thought, but no less formidable
For more than 25 years, Liopleurodon has been one of the world's most recognizable prehistoric marine predators. Immortalized in the BBC's landmark Walking with Dinosaurs series as a colossal 25-meter (82-foot) marine hunter, ...
Phys.org / Gig platforms can simply 'wait out' workers to slash wages, research reveals
Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems (MPI-IS), the Tübingen AI Center and Ellis Institute Tübingen have conducted a study that uncovers a mathematical strategy explaining how digital labor platforms ...
Phys.org / Novel antibiotic candidates starve resistant bacteria by blocking vitamin supply
Bacteria have spent decades evolving resistance to virtually every antibiotic we have thrown at them. To stay ahead, new drugs must hit targets that existing antibiotics have never touched. A research team at the Helmholtz ...
Phys.org / AI‑designed gene‑editing enzymes expand the CRISPR toolbox
Scientists have made many advances using traditional CRISPR technology, especially in medicine, but they are now seeking ways to create genuinely new gene-editing enzymes with properties that have not already evolved naturally. ...
