Medical Xpress / Doctors and nurses believe their own substance use affects patients
Their job is to protect, promote, and restore human health and lives, but health care workers believe that their own use of alcohol and illegal drugs reduces the quality of care they provide to patients. A recent study suggests ...
Phys.org / Fans value ethics over innovation at AI hologram concerts, new study finds
Hologram AI concert experiences may look futuristic, with their computer-generated 3D illusions of dead artists performing on stage. But research from the University of South Florida shows their success depends on something ...
Medical Xpress / Study finds stress-related nerves may fuel pancreatic cancer growth
Oregon Health & Science University researchers have found that certain nerves that play an integral role in the body's "fight or flight" stress response can support pancreatic tumor growth. These nerves, called sympathetic ...
Medical Xpress / Strong alcohol labeling and pricing policy could reduce cancer in Canada
If Canadian jurisdictions mandated warning labels on alcohol and minimum pricing tied to the number of standard drinks in a container, it could prevent hundreds of cancer diagnoses and deaths, according to a new study led ...
Medical Xpress / Specific protein and sugar molecules affected by aging and disease identified
Neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) are typically diagnosed after irreversible pathology has developed. Aging, the strongest risk factor, drives molecular changes that predispose the brain to synaptic ...
Tech Xplore / AI is getting smarter, but not wiser: A new roadmap aims to fix that gap
A new study is the first to suggest realistic ways to integrate wisdom into artificial intelligence, to create AI systems that will be more robust, transparent, cooperative, and safe. Researchers from the University of Waterloo ...
Phys.org / First plesiosaurian fossil discovered in Algeria fills a Cretaceous gap
In a study published in Historical Biology, Dr. Mohammed Naimi and his colleagues report the discovery of the first plesiosaurian remains from Algeria. Additionally, the fossil, dated to the Late Coniacian, is one of only ...
Medical Xpress / Work exploring role of the mannose pathway in regulating cell fate decisions may hold promise for cancer therapy
A research team has conducted a study exploring the role of the mannose pathway in regulating cell fate decisions in low glucose environments. Their work may hold potential for novel therapeutic strategies in cancer treatments. ...
Medical Xpress / A new target in melanoma? Disrupting macrophage vesicles could break a tumor-fueling cycle
Pro-inflammatory M1 macrophages involved in immune responses accelerate the progression of melanoma through the extracellular vesicles they secrete, a study from the University of Eastern Finland shows. The findings are published ...
Phys.org / Genetic library for soybean cyst nematode could renew resistance, profitability for soybean growers
Few pests eat away at farm profitability as much as soybean cyst nematode (SCN). Causing at least $1.5 billion in yield losses annually, it's soybean's single biggest threat. Unfortunately, soybean's most effective tool, ...
Phys.org / Researchers engineer cold-tolerant proteins to give US an Arctic edge
As the Arctic region becomes increasingly contested, the U.S. military faces a new era of challenges in one of the world's most inhospitable environments. Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) ...
Medical Xpress / Study offers new insights into the reasons behind smartphone addiction
