Medical Xpress / Remote exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation—an additional option but not a replacement for center-based rehabilitation
Remotely delivered exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation, when added to center-based programs, resulted in a similar number of completed sessions as center-based programs only, according to results presented in a Hot Line ...
Medical Xpress / Most states provide minors autonomy to consent to STI/HIV services
New data on LawAtlas.org capture details of state laws that allow individuals younger than the legal "age of majority" to autonomously consent to general health care, HIV and STI services. This longitudinal dataset includes ...
Phys.org / The hidden physics behind the shape of rose thorns
Roses are known for their thorns, the sharp structures that can sting and prickle the skin. Thorns, botanically known as prickles, are thought to discourage animals from feeding on plants and may also help climbing roses ...
Medical Xpress / Cancer is quantum: Studies show cancer cells may occupy limited, shared states like quantized energy levels
Andrea Califano began his career as a physicist. But that's not why he's now calling cancer a quantum disease. "We're really just following the data," says Califano, the Clyde '56 and Helen Wu Professor of Chemical Biology ...
Phys.org / Scientists put algae to work making fuel. AI reveals which cells are pulling their weight
Algae have a habit of turning up where they're not wanted. They coat your swimming pool in green gunk, cling to rocks at the beach and even make headlines when they take over prominent reservoirs, such as the White House ...
Medical Xpress / Next-generation RNA approach provides hope for genetic diseases missed by current drugs
Researchers at the University of Toronto have developed a next-generation RNA therapeutic approach with the potential to treat a wide range of genetic diseases that share certain disease-causing mutations. The work advances ...
Tech Xplore / 'Gamified' DDoS attacks wage psychological warfare against NATO states, finds study
First-of-its-kind research from Finland's Aalto University School of Business reveals the modus operandi and operating model of the pro-Russian hacking group responsible for thousands of distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) ...
Medical Xpress / New AI method can support real-time management of infectious diseases
For the past 25 years, one discipline has been revolutionizing epidemiology: phylodynamics. By using genetic sequences, scientists can study how pathogens evolve. Thanks to mathematics, these data can be coherently organized ...
Medical Xpress / Nurse-coordinated collaborative care improved outcomes in patients with heart failure
Days alive and out of hospital were significantly increased in patients with heart failure when a nurse-coordinated collaborative care model was introduced, according to results presented in a Hot Line session at ESC Congress ...
Medical Xpress / Estimated glucose disposal rate inversely linked to benign prostatic hyperplasia
There is a negative link between estimated glucose disposal rate (eGDR) and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in men, according to a study published online Aug. 25 in The Aging Male.
Phys.org / Setting limits on phase transitions in the dark energy era
The universe is known to be expanding at an accelerating rate. Physicists typically attribute this acceleration to dark energy, a mysterious component of the universe that exerts negative pressure, causing space to expand ...
Phys.org / Researchers make non-recyclable flame-retardant EV composites recyclable
Korean researchers have developed a recyclable flame-retardant composite that overcomes a fundamental limitation of conventional flame-retardant composites, which cannot be recycled once cured, while maintaining excellent ...
