Phys.org / Radical shifts to sustainability call for a new kind of legal thinking, researchers argue
Individual environmental laws, such as those related to the climate or nature conservation, are not sufficient on their own to resolve environmental crises. A new international study led by the University of Eastern Finland ...
Medical Xpress / Bariatric surgery significantly more effective than GLP-1 drugs for weight loss and disease remission, review finds
Metabolic and bariatric surgery delivers significantly greater weight loss and higher rates of obesity-related disease remission than glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1s), according to one of the largest and ...
Medical Xpress / Can't get your HRT patches? What to do and what to avoid
Since 2020, Australia has had an ongoing shortage of estrogen patches, which are usually prescribed to help ease menopause symptoms.
Medical Xpress / A hidden crisis after childbirth is killing fathers, and most deaths never had to happen
It took the better part of a century for maternal mortality to be recognized, forgotten, and finally recognized again as an urgent public health crisis in the United States. In contrast, research shows fathers—particularly ...
Tech Xplore / Against the wind: Researchers show how flight angles affect turbulence
At high speeds, even the smallest movement can have major consequences. When an aircraft tilts sharply during flight, the air around it does not flow smoothly. It twists into powerful, swirling currents that can destabilize ...
Medical Xpress / Baltimore emergency rooms see spike in asthma-related cases after night heat waves
Hospitals in Baltimore see an uptick in asthma-related emergency room cases in the weeks following nighttime heat waves in their neighboring communities, according to new research from Johns Hopkins University.
Medical Xpress / Rapid genomic testing helps 1,100 families worldwide target treatment for rare childhood disease
An international partnership designed to improve equality in access to genomic medicine for a rare disease has now provided potentially life-saving genetic testing for over 1,100 families across the world.
Phys.org / With large DNA fragment assembly, scientists can design microbes that produce countless complex products
A review in Quantitative Biology demonstrates that scientists can now reliably build and combine very large pieces of DNA, making it much easier to redesign microbes such as yeast and bacteria to act as efficient "cell factories." ...
Phys.org / Louisiana's shrinking coast may offer world early guide to climate adaptation
A Tulane University-led team of interdisciplinary researchers says coastal Louisiana's climate-driven land loss and population shifts could position the state to become a global leader in planning for climate adaptation.
Phys.org / PEG400 reveals parasite-only pocket that could sharpen malaria treatment
Research published in The FEBS Journal may help overcome challenges to the treatment of malaria—a tropical disease caused by infection of red blood cells with Plasmodium parasites, which are transmitted through infected mosquito ...
Medical Xpress / Higher steroid use linked to poorer mental health
Riskier anabolic-androgenic steroid (AAS) use has been linked to poorer mental health symptoms, new Griffith University research has found. Ph.D. Candidate Ben Bonenti from Griffith's School of Applied Psychology examined ...
Phys.org / A physics explanation shows why US elections keep ending 50:50—and why more spending won't change that
A physics-inspired model calibrated on 40 years of US congressional data pinpoints a spending threshold of roughly 1.8 million USD at which campaigns stop influencing who wins and start fueling polarization instead.
