Medical Xpress / A resource to help hospitals build the business case for diagnostic stewardship
The Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America (SHEA) has published a new resource describing how diagnostic stewardship can improve patient outcomes, strengthen hospital quality metrics and reduce health care costs.
Medical Xpress / New caregiver resource focuses on quality of life in later stages of dementia
Much of the progress in Alzheimer's disease research in recent years has focused on preventing or slowing the disease in its earliest stages. But for millions of people already living with advanced dementia—and the families ...
Phys.org / How to help your garden recover from a heat wave
UK gardens took a battering this summer as a heat dome settled over western Europe, and much of the green and pleasant land turned a dusty beige.
Phys.org / Martian air could yield methane rocket fuel with fewer unwanted byproducts
As NASA prepares to send humans to Mars as early as the 2030s, University of Mississippi researchers are working on one of the key questions: How will they get back?
Phys.org / New molecular magnet design boosts performance for ultrahigh-density data storage
Researchers at The University of Manchester and the Australian National University have developed a new class of molecular magnets that combines the most successful features of previous designs, resulting in some of the strongest ...
Phys.org / Researchers rewire ribosomes to specialize in one protein
Every cell relies on ribosomes, the molecular machines that read genetic instructions and use them to assemble proteins. A cell needs thousands of types of proteins at any one time, so ribosomes must be generalists, capable ...
Phys.org / Giant impacts may strip small icy moons of subsurface oceans
Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) scientists used simulations to understand the role disruptive impacts play on icy moons with subsurface oceans in our solar system. A recent paper published in the journal Nature Astronomy ...
Tech Xplore / The next frontier is not artificial intelligence, it's artificial societies
There is a temptation to divide the future of AI into two possibilities: utopia or catastrophe. Neither extreme is particularly helpful.
Medical Xpress / Ketone supplement trial tests whether it can slow aging in older adults
For Judy Donnelly, participating in a UConn Health research study meant driving from Windham to Farmington, drinking four packets of a supplement each day and undergoing a comprehensive series of tests designed to measure ...
Tech Xplore / Bringing classical LDPC code design theory to quantum computers
Quantum error correction must detect and correct errors without directly reading the quantum information. Classical low-density parity check (LDPC) codes have a well-established design theory: by choosing how many checks ...
Medical Xpress / Physical activity may protect older adults from hearing loss
Researchers from the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders (COMD) have partnered with faculty from across the Arnold School and USC to complete a study investigating the connections among physical function, blood ...
Phys.org / Four in five researchers report harmful interactions during geoscience fieldwork. A new survey suggests a path forward.
Fieldwork is a vital part of geoscience research, allowing scientists and students to directly observe, interact with and collect data about Earth processes that cannot be replicated in the lab.
