Medical Xpress / Breathing tube insertion before hospital admission for major trauma saves lives, modeling study suggests
Trauma patients urgently requiring a breathing tube are more likely to survive if the tube is inserted before arriving at hospital compared to insertion afterwards, suggests a modeling study led by researchers at University ...
Medical Xpress / Tiny one- to three-base RNAs could help stop autoimmune inflammation, study suggests
RNA-based medicine is about to take a huge leap forward thanks to the discovery of extremely short RNA fragments with important anti-inflammatory properties. Professor Michael Gantier's latest research, published in Nature ...
Phys.org / Quantum dots reveal entropy production, a key measure of nanoscale energy dissipation
In order to build the computers and devices of tomorrow, we have to understand how they use energy today. That's harder than it sounds. Memory storage, information processing, and energy use in these technologies involve ...
Phys.org / AI model uses molecular energy to predict the most stable atom arrangements
Whether a smartphone battery lasts longer or a new drug can be developed to treat incurable diseases depends on how stably the atoms constituting the material are bonded. The core of molecular design lies in finding how to ...
Tech Xplore / AI learns to perform analog layout design
Researchers at Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) have developed an artificial intelligence approach that addresses a key bottleneck in analog semiconductor layout design, a process that has traditionally ...
Medical Xpress / Triple therapy shown to help with cystic fibrosis in the long term
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common inherited metabolic disease in Europe. More than 8,000 people in Germany are affected. Every year, about 150 to 200 children are born with this incurable disease. It is caused by a ...
Medical Xpress / Discontinuing antidepressants in pregnancy nearly doubles risk of mental health emergencies, finds study
Pregnant patients who stopped taking their antidepressant medication during pregnancy were almost twice as likely to experience a mental health emergency compared with pregnant patients who continued taking their prescription, ...
Medical Xpress / Combination treatment may slow disease progression in advanced sarcoma
An oral combination treatment may prevent the progression of advanced leiomyosarcoma, one of the most common subtypes of soft tissue sarcoma, according to a recent study published in The Lancet Oncology. "These findings support ...
Tech Xplore / Novel bond coat material enables thermal barrier coatings to operate at 1,200°C
A research team has developed a novel bond coat material that significantly improves the oxidation resistance of thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) at 1,200°C, a critical advancement for next-generation ultra-high-thrust aero-engines. ...
Phys.org / Climate change could halve areas suitable for cattle, sheep and goat farming by 2100
A new study conducted at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) shows that grassland-based grazing systems—currently covering a third of Earth's surface and representing the world's largest production system—will ...
Phys.org / Versatile enzyme that quickly, accurately synthesizes RNA can also perform reverse transcription
From vaccines and diagnostics to emerging gene-based therapies, RNA molecules are now central to modern medicine. But as their use continues to grow, so does a fundamental challenge: producing RNA quickly, accurately and ...
Medical Xpress / Pregnancy-related complications are not the most common causes of maternal death among pregnant women, new mothers
Researchers at Columbia University have found that accidental drug overdose, homicide, and suicide are the leading causes of death among pregnant and postpartum women. The researchers used information on death certificates ...
