Medical Xpress / GLP-1 weight-loss boom linked to surge in poison control calls
As the use of GLP-1 medications for weight loss surges, so do calls to U.S. poison control centers, according to a new study.
Medical Xpress / Clinical study of drug-resistant tuberculosis changes global medical practice
A clinical study that began in a research unit in Gqeberha (PE), Eastern Cape, has transformed global treatment of drug-resistant tuberculosis.
Phys.org / Long-dismissed gas emerges as a hidden driver of urban air pollution
Researchers from Tampere University and the University of Helsinki have identified an unexpected chemical process that may influence the formation of air pollution particles in urban environments. The study shows that nitric ...
Medical Xpress / Mediterranean-inspired diet with added methionine extends healthy lifespan in mice
A plant- and fish-based, low-protein diet paired with small amounts of an amino acid commonly found in eggs, meat and dairy increased healthy lifespan and decreased frailty and fat mass in mice, according to a new USC study ...
Medical Xpress / Hidden thymus step may prime cancer-killing T cells earlier than expected
Researchers at Mayo Clinic have uncovered a previously hidden step in how the immune system prepares to fight cancer, a discovery that could help scientists develop more effective and longer-lasting cancer immunotherapies.
Medical Xpress / Smartphone-based self-screening can identify ocular surface malignancies
Integration of smartphone-based imaging and artificial intelligence (AI)-driven diagnostics provides an effective strategy for screening for rare ocular malignancies, according to a study published online June 4 in JAMA Ophthalmology.
Medical Xpress / Leveraging AI can reduce time and resources in how physicians approach sepsis care
In a new clinical study from the University of California San Diego School of Medicine, researchers and physicians at UC San Diego Health have found that by utilizing artificial intelligence (AI), they could develop more ...
Phys.org / Scientists create optical skyrmions using a two-century-old light phenomenon
Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) scientists have used a classic optical phenomenon known as the Poisson spot to create stable patterns of light called optical skyrmions, which are tiny, swirling ...
Phys.org / Study explores environmental cost, perceptions of influencer PR gifts
