Medical Xpress / Congo says 2,000 people have died in its Ebola outbreak, the fastest growing on record
At least 2,000 people have died in Congo's Ebola outbreak, the fastest-growing on record, according to the latest data, as health authorities struggle to get help to remote localities due to rebel conflict, bad roads and ...
Phys.org / Two-qubit entangling gate flags its own errors as detectable photon losses
Quantum errors are a normal part of quantum computing because fragile physical qubits (the tiny components storing data) can easily break down because of environmental noise, like heat, stray signals or microscopic vibrations. ...
Medical Xpress / Heart assembloids give researchers a new way to study heart valve disorders
A multidisciplinary, multi-institution group of researchers focused their expertise in genetics, mechanics, chemistry and biology on a chip the size of a postage stamp to model a particular class of heart conditions.
Medical Xpress / Omega-3 plus low-dose aspirin produces antibiotic-like results against severe periodontitis
A combination of omega-3 and low-dose acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) produced results comparable to antibiotics in treating severe periodontitis. This conclusion is based on a study conducted by researchers affiliated with Albert ...
Tech Xplore / New coding technique skips needless calculations, speeding some GPU tasks nearly fourfold
The multiplication of matrices and higher-dimensional arrays called tensors lies at the heart of modern computing. Matrix or tensor multiplication is, in fact, the most common operation carried out in artificial intelligence ...
Phys.org / Runaway supermassive black hole RBH-1 offers new way to reconstruct ancient merger
Black holes are fascinating regions in space where gravity is so strong that nothing, even light, can escape them. The largest known black holes, called supermassive black holes, contain millions to billions of times the ...
Medical Xpress / Molecular mapping reveals hidden cellular programs in heart transplant rejection
A new study that explores gene expression during heart transplant rejection marks a step forward for precision medicine approaches to treat organ rejection.
Medical Xpress / Different inflammatory processes tied to the same Alzheimer's disease-related brain shrinkage and memory loss
Alzheimer's disease may look similar from one person to another even when different biological processes are driving the damage, according to a new study led by researchers at the University of California, Irvine.
Medical Xpress / Sarcoidosis shifts lung immune-cell communication, single-cell data suggest
Researchers at National Jewish Health and partner institutions have discovered specific changes in immune cells in the lungs of people with sarcoidosis. Their findings help explain how this inflammatory disease develops and ...
Medical Xpress / New math model sheds light on multiple sclerosis relapse and recovery cycles
A new mathematical model that reproduces the relapsing-remitting pattern of multiple sclerosis (MS) offers scientists a tool to better understand how the disease progresses. The model, developed by QUT researchers from the ...
Phys.org / Jackie, the California bald eagle who became an internet sensation, dies after illness
Jackie, the bald eagle who became an internet sensation and a symbol of the species' recovery in California, died Monday after being treated for an illness at a veterinary facility, her caretakers announced.
Medical Xpress / Improving stroke care and innovation
Every 40 seconds, someone in the U.S. has a stroke, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Because stroke is a leading cause of long-term disability and death, there is a growing need to develop innovative ...
