Medical Xpress / Self-reported family history underestimates heart attacks among close relatives
A new study from Karolinska Institutet shows that people's own reports of heart attacks in the family only partially correspond with register data. The findings suggest that heart attacks among relatives are often underreported, ...
Medical Xpress / BMI alone does not fully capture health risks linked to obesity, new study finds
Obesity is commonly diagnosed using BMI, but this approach has several limitations. Researchers at Lund University and AstraZeneca show that integrating measurements such as body fat percentage and waist circumference captures ...
Medical Xpress / Nervous system helps lung cancer evade the immune system, study reveals
Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have revealed that sensory nerve signals interfere with the immune system's response to lung cancer. This previously unrecognized neuroimmune connection could be targeted to improve ...
Phys.org / Brutal field trip provides new insights into Arctic winter
It was the hardest field trip they had ever been on, but the result was both surprising and exciting. After hiking 9 kilometers with a 400-meter elevation gain and carrying heavy backpacks through very rocky terrain, the ...
Tech Xplore / Recyclable resin enables high-precision 3D printing and reuse across 10 cycles
Once only achievable in the far-fetched imaginations of science fiction writers, 3D printing has gone mainstream. Relatively inexpensive machines allow individuals to design and print everything from board games and desk ...
Medical Xpress / Early warning from low-risk cysts could help catch pancreatic cancer sooner
Catching pancreatic cancer early can increase the five-year survival rate from 15% to 80%. Patients with pancreatic cysts, frequently detected during unrelated abdominal CT or MRI imaging, can develop malignant pancreatic ...
Phys.org / A SpaceX rocket will soon hit the moon, raising concerns about handing over space launches to private companies
SpaceX seems to have mistaken shooting for the moon with shooting at the moon. Forecast to occur on Aug. 5, a five-story-long piece of a rocket from one of the private space exploration company's recent lunar missions is ...
Phys.org / Extreme weather events are accelerating tidal wetland loss, satellite data show
Tidal wetlands are critical, yet vulnerable ecosystems. Tidal marshes, mangrove forests, and tidal flats support biodiversity, protect against flooding and storm surges, sequester carbon, and improve water quality. Due to ...
Tech Xplore / Crashes with consequences: Serial code-reuse attack SFOP breaks Intel CET in Linux
A code-reuse attack named "Segmentation Fault Oriented Programming (SFOP)" exploits weaknesses in signal handling and Intel CET in Linux systems. SFOP is capable of bypassing Intel CET in any program by producing segmentation ...
Phys.org / Mars reveals first Zwan-Wolf effect deep in its atmosphere during a solar storm
In December 2023, scientists looking at Mars data stumbled across something completely unexpected—observations of an atmospheric effect never before seen in the Red Planet's atmosphere. Using instruments aboard NASA's MAVEN ...
Phys.org / Galactic collision may have reset Milky Way disk 11 billion years ago
A new study led by researchers at the Institute of Cosmos Sciences of the University of Barcelona (ICCUB) and the Institute of Space Studies of Catalonia (IEEC) reveals how the disks of galaxies like the Milky Way are affected ...
Medical Xpress / Cardiac organoids show potential for myocardial repair after infarction
Myocardial infarction remains one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Following an infarction, part of the heart muscle is irreversibly damaged and replaced by scar tissue, which, while structurally necessary, compromises ...
