Medical Xpress / Augmented reality system could make medical ultrasounds easier to interpret
Interpreting medical ultrasound images is a difficult task, requiring a technician to look at 2D images and mentally arrange them into a 3D representation of what the tissue looks like. To make that job easier, MIT researchers ...
Phys.org / Preschoolers whose parents received coaching had fewer conduct problems, higher cognitive skills in middle school
Children of parents who received coaching and support materials in preschool had fewer conduct problems in middle school and higher levels of academic skills more than seven years later, according to a new study by an interdisciplinary ...
Medical Xpress / How gestational diabetes could affect a child's health before birth
Gestational diabetes is most commonly associated with temporary disturbances in glucose metabolism during pregnancy. However, growing evidence shows that its consequences may extend far beyond pregnancy itself—affecting a ...
Medical Xpress / Brain aneurysm map reveals cell types tied to rupture risk
A new study from UC San Francisco shows how certain cells in the brain may cause aneurysms to weaken and rupture. It helps explain why some aneurysms burst while others do not and could lead to new ways of predicting and ...
Phys.org / Wheat root compounds suppress soil microbes, helping retain nitrogen and cut emissions
On a quiet weekend morning in a greenhouse in Aarhus University Flakkebjerg, rows of wheat plants stand with their roots submerged in clear water. There is no soil, no buffer, no automation to take over the work. Every day, ...
Phys.org / Why this $10 spectrometer chip could bring real-time chemical sensing to wearables
Researchers from the University of Cambridge and GlitterinTech, a startup founded by the same research group, have unveiled a fundamentally new type of optical spectrometer that delivers laboratory-grade precision in a device ...
Medical Xpress / One daily drink no longer looks harmless, as alcohol's risks rewrite moderate drinking rules
Even what many Americans consider moderate drinking is linked to an increased risk of death, disability, and chronic diseases such as cancer and heart disease, according to a new study in the Journal of Studies on Alcohol ...
Phys.org / Precision measurement under impact—when the balance itself becomes the object of measurement
How do you take measurements using one of the most sensitive scales in the world? Researchers at TU Wien have demonstrated how the measurement process affects not only the object being measured but also the scale itself, ...
Medical Xpress / OB-GYN group makes vaccine recommendations for the first time
A prominent OB-GYN group announced vaccine recommendations on Wednesday that differ from what the U.S. government advises.
Phys.org / Researchers develop a new anti-jellyfish floating buoy
Researchers from the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV) and the University of Alicante have developed a new anti-jellyfish floating buoy that helps prevent these creatures from reaching the coast, thereby reducing ...
Medical Xpress / Why eating in the middle of the night can cause gastrointestinal issues
Eating when the body is normally asleep appears to desynchronize the circadian clocks of different cell types in the intestines, a UT Southwestern Medical Center study suggests. The findings, published in PNAS, could help ...
Phys.org / MUSE maps spiral galaxy W2246f, uncovering old core and ongoing star formation across disk
Astronomers have employed the Multi-Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) on the Very Large Telescope (VLT) to perform deep spectroscopic observations of a peculiar spiral galaxy known as W2246f. Results of the observational ...
