Medical Xpress / Continuous wearable monitoring reduces time with low oxygen after surgery, study finds
Patients continuously monitored after surgery experienced significantly less time with dangerously low oxygen levels compared to those monitored using routine spot checks, a new study from Wake Forest University School of ...
Medical Xpress / Scientists pinpoint a skin alarm system pathway that links local damage to systemic immune responses
Skin, our largest organ, acts as a protective barrier against pathogens that try to invade our bodies while constantly monitoring for potential threats. In the skin's outermost layer, the epidermis, reside keratinocytes, ...
Medical Xpress / Novel AI-enhanced MRI boosts success rate in patients with arrhythmia
AI-enhanced single-shot cine MRI produces superior image quality and provides ventricular measurements comparable to conventional cine MRI, according to research published in Radiology: Cardiothoracic Imaging.
Medical Xpress / Self-management of warfarin dose is safe, effective and empowering, clinical trial shows
Warfarin is an oral anticoagulant, commonly known as blood thinner, that is prescribed to help treat the formation of dangerous blood clots that can lead to stroke or heart attacks. Even with newer medications on the market, ...
Medical Xpress / Autoantibodies implicated as drivers of long COVID in new study
A growing body of evidence suggests that long COVID (or post-COVID syndrome), a condition affecting more than 10% of people after a SARS-CoV-2 infection, may be driven by the immune system turning against the body. Now, new ...
Phys.org / Hawaii tests asphalt made with recycled plastics and fishing nets for shedding
Hawaii has a plastic problem. The island state faces economic and logistical challenges in recycling plastic waste, including marine debris that lingers in its ocean waters. Researchers in Hawaii are pioneering a method to ...
Phys.org / A solar system in the making? Two planets spotted forming in disk around young star
Astronomers have observed two planets forming in the disk around a young star named WISPIT 2. Having previously detected one planet, the team has now employed European Southern Observatory (ESO) telescopes to confirm the ...
Phys.org / Rivers and tidal currents keep 80% of microfibers from reaching oceans, study suggests
Every time we do a load of laundry, tiny fibers of polyester escape from our clothes and slip down the drain. These microfibers, so small they can be invisible to the naked eye, are among the most common forms of microplastic ...
Phys.org / CERN hails delicate test on transporting antimatter as a scientific success
Scientists in Geneva took some antiprotons out for a spin—a very delicate one—in a truck, in a never-tried-before test drive that has been deemed a success.
Phys.org / Nanoparticles enable large-scale production of advanced cell therapies
Researchers from Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University (XJTLU) in China have developed a streamlined process that makes it easier to produce tiny therapeutic particles released by cells, called exosomes, which are being explored ...
Medical Xpress / Short-lived fish offer new insights into the aging immune system
Our immune system protects the body from infections and harmful changes throughout our lives. However, it loses its effectiveness with age, resulting in an increased risk of disease. But what happens when the immune system ...
Medical Xpress / New research suggests FDA should consider redesign of proposed nutrition labels
