Medical Xpress / New dementia warning sign is hiding in our muscles
Losing muscle as we age could be an important warning sign for dementia, according to new Curtin University research. Researchers analyzed more than 80 studies examining the links between body weight, body fat, muscle health ...
Medical Xpress / How does the menopause drug Veoza work? And how is it different from hormone therapy?
Hot flashes and night sweats—collectively called vasomotor symptoms—are among the most common and disruptive symptoms of menopause. They affect almost 40% of women in the lead-up to menopause, known as perimenopause.
Phys.org / Smart nanoparticles deliver antibiotics directly to H. pylori
Helicobacter pylori bacteria infect around half the global population and are a leading cause of stomach ulcers and gastric cancer. While antibiotics remain the standard treatment, they often fail to reach bacteria hidden ...
Medical Xpress / Blast exposure in military associated with conditions like seizures, stroke years later
Exposure to high-level blasts from incoming explosive devices or land mines among military veterans is associated with an increased risk of several conditions, such as seizures, neuropathy and stroke, years later, according ...
Phys.org / Scientists discover dispersal mechanism and new gene family in harmful E. coli strains
Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have identified how certain dangerous bacteria spread. They studied chain-like adherence pattern (CLAP) varieties of Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC), finding that single ...
Tech Xplore / Humanoid robot learns to sprint and perform spin kicks using AI trained on human motion data
Humanoid robots, robotic systems with body shapes and limbs resembling those of humans, could potentially assist people with manual tasks in various real-world settings. So far, however, most of these robots can reliably ...
Tech Xplore / From lobster trap to tee box: Researchers turn discarded shells into golf tees
A Maine lobster can end up in a roll, a bisque or a butter bath. At the University of Maine, what's left of it can now end up under a golf ball. Researchers at UMaine are making golf tees from discarded lobster shells. The ...
Phys.org / Unused natural gas behind NYC's $300 million waste of a potent greenhouse gas
Methane emissions from the New York City metropolitan area are largely driven by natural gas use, according to a new study published today in Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics by researchers at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, ...
Medical Xpress / Stopping dying cells from rupturing could help donor livers withstand transplantation
During transplantation, blood flow to the donor liver must stop as it's moved to the recipient. Once transplanted, oxygen-rich blood is restored, yet doing so can cause what is called ischemia-reperfusion injury. To protect ...
Tech Xplore / Researchers achieve ionic liquid membrane-based recovery of nitrogen compounds from liquid fuels
Biomass-derived oils are important sustainable alternatives to petroleum-based liquid fuels. However, biomass oil mixtures contain much higher concentrations of cyclic nitrogen compounds that contribute to NOx emissions and ...
Phys.org / Physicists zoom into the birth of cosmic rainstorms with new CERN study
Every second, particles zip through your body at nearly the speed of light. They rain down from a storm high in the sky, where cosmic rays, a powerful type of interstellar matter, constantly strike atoms in Earth's atmosphere. ...
Phys.org / Parakeets, male or female, love a good fight
In a study of monk parakeets, researchers at the University of Cincinnati and Duke University found that sex has little to no impact on who initiates fights, who is targeted or who rises in the dominance hierarchy.
