Medical Xpress / ADA: Continuous glucose monitoring lowers HbA1c in adults with type 2 diabetes not on insulin
For adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D) not on insulin therapy (NIT), continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is associated with a substantial reduction in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), according to a study presented at the annual ...
Medical Xpress / Consuming a moderate amount of carbs could lower cardiovascular risk while also keeping 'bad' cholesterol down
Many people cross bread, pasta and potatoes off their menus, hoping to drop pounds and improve their heart health. But there's a controversy behind this multibillion-dollar wellness phenomenon: Research is divided on carbohydrate-restricted ...
Tech Xplore / Fast, reliable detection of trace gases by resonant photoacoustics
The photoacoustic effect has been known for more than 150 years: Gases exposed to light heat up. Pulsing the light generates periodic pressure fluctuations, or sound waves, with frequencies that can be uniquely assigned to ...
Medical Xpress / Natural protein scaffold may speed bone healing by growing blood vessels at same time
For patients suffering from traumatic injuries that leave behind "volumetric" gaps—where significant bone and blood vessels are lost—the clock is always ticking. Without a nearby blood supply, cells in the center of a large ...
Phys.org / New global tracker maps urban growth in hazard zones every six months
The World Settlement Footprint (WSF) Tracker and its dedicated online platform have been officially released at an event at the World Bank headquarters in Washington, D.C.
Tech Xplore / Light rewrites magnetic memory in one pulse, opening path to lower-power AI chips
As artificial intelligence, cloud computing and digital services continue to expand, the world is facing a growing need for faster and more energy-efficient ways to store and process information. A team led by the National ...
Medical Xpress / Researchers identify brain 'entrapment' patterns associated with depression
Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have identified distinctive patterns in how the brain transitions between activity states in people with depression, providing new insight into why depressive symptoms ...
Science X / How tokens unlock robust cooperation in human societies even when memory fails
Humans stand out in their ability to collaborate with people they may never meet again, often at their own expense. Scientists have long been intrigued by this unique feature, which facilitates everything from international ...
Phys.org / Salmonella genomes reveal 45 previously unknown toxins in foodborne bacteria
Researchers at the University of São Paulo (USP) in Brazil have discovered 45 new toxins produced by Salmonella bacteria, some of which are associated with foodborne infections. The study was conducted at the Center for Research ...
Phys.org / Persistence, focus on tech makes U.S. 'serial acquirers' different
In the U.S., unlike elsewhere in the world, the vast majority of mergers and acquisitions are conducted by "serial acquirers"—large, publicly traded firms that regularly acquire smaller companies. Around four in five M&A ...
Phys.org / Physicists introduce phase contrast to electron microscopy, delivering sharper images of our body's tiniest proteins
Nearly 100 years ago, a seemingly simple discovery revolutionized the microscope. The introduction of phase contrast, which garnered a Nobel Prize in 1953, brought into clear view structures inside cells that had previously ...
Phys.org / Plants reveal hidden PFAS pollution that soils can miss, study finds
A new study has found that plants may reveal recent PFAS contamination linked to airborne deposition that can go undetected in soil analyses. Conducted in agricultural fields near the conflict zone in southern Israel, the ...
