Medical Xpress / Nurses face moral distress, depression post-COVID
Nurses working during the COVID-19 pandemic in Wales experienced high levels of moral distress, strongly associated with depression and linked to intentions to leave the profession, according to a new study led by Cardiff ...
Phys.org / Failed experiment leads to surprise drug development breakthrough
Scientists at the University of Cambridge have developed a new way to alter complex drug molecules using light rather than toxic chemicals—a discovery that could accelerate and improve how medicines are designed and made. ...
Phys.org / Fantastic fungi found with ability to freeze water
Can fungi influence the weather? Turns out, they just might. An international group of researchers that includes Virginia Tech's Xiaofeng Wang and Boris A. Vinatzer discovered the identity of fungal proteins that can catalyze ...
Medical Xpress / Menopause shows no long-term effect on cognition, study finds
New research from the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience (IoPPN) at King's College London has found no evidence that the transitional symptoms of menopause such as brain fog and memory problems have a lasting ...
Phys.org / The fish were biting in ancient Alabama: Tooth found embedded in Cretaceous apex predator's neck
