Medical Xpress / Researchers detect early brain changes linked to future psychosis development
Researchers from the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore (NUS Medicine), and NHG Health's Institute of Mental Health (IMH) have mapped how brain networks differ in individuals at Clinical High ...
Phys.org / Mini-vortices in nanopores accelerate ion transport for faster supercapacitor charging
Tiny cavities in energy storage devices form small vortices that help with charging, according to a research team led by TU Darmstadt. This previously unknown phenomenon could advance the development of faster storage devices.
Phys.org / Engineering analysis of Thrinaxodon fossils uncovers unexpectedly advanced hearing in early mammal kin
One of the most important steps in the evolution of modern mammals was the development of highly sensitive hearing. The middle ear of mammals, with an eardrum and several small bones, allows us to hear a broad range of frequencies ...
Medical Xpress / How you eat may be connected to how you sleep
The average adult should get a minimum of seven hours of sleep daily, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommendations. However, an estimated 50 to 70 million Americans are diagnosed with a sleep disorder ...
Medical Xpress / Greater patient safety in major lung surgery: World's largest study provides new insights
The Department of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine at the Carl Gustav Carus University Hospital in Dresden and the TU Dresden Faculty of Medicine has conducted the world's largest study on patient safety in major ...
Medical Xpress / Brain biomarker links inflammation to poor treatment response in psychiatric disorders
Individuals with psychiatric disorders exhibiting seemingly similar symptoms often respond very differently to the same treatment, suggesting that distinct biological processes are at work beneath the surface of similar clinical ...
Phys.org / 'Artificial intelligence' myths have existed for centuries—from the ancient Greeks to a Pope's chatbot
It seems the AI hype has turned into an AI bubble. There have been many bubbles before, from the Tulip mania of the 17th century to the derivatives bubble of the 21st century. For many commentators, the most relevant precedent ...
Medical Xpress / Sedative choice could improve outcomes for breathing tube patients
Doctors treating seriously ill patients in an emergency setting may want to give the sedative etomidate, rather than ketamine, while placing a breathing tube, according to a randomized trial published in the New England Journal ...
Medical Xpress / Blinking less may mean brain is working harder, study shows
Blinking is a human reflex most often performed without thinking, like breathing. Although research on blinking is usually related to vision, a new Concordia study examines how blinking is connected to cognitive function, ...
Medical Xpress / Hundreds are quarantined in South Carolina as measles spreads in 2 US outbreaks
Measles outbreaks are growing along the Utah-Arizona border and in South Carolina, where hundreds are in quarantine.
Phys.org / Cooperative intermolecular interactions regulate supramolecular polymer assembly
Supramolecular chemistry involves the study of self-assembly of discrete molecules that are used to build large functional structures. Often, these molecules are allowed to self-assemble into one-dimensional polymeric structures ...
Medical Xpress / Allergy risk varies by region: IgE profiles highlight environmental influence and hypoallergenic region
Allergic sensitization follows distinct regional patterns, and molecular IgE profiling can reveal these profiles in detail. An international research team has now demonstrated both phenomena in a population-based study of ...
