Medical Xpress / AAP issues recommendations for pediatric RSV vaccination in 2026-2027 season
New guidelines expand the categories of high-risk children eligible for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccination and address COVID-19 vaccines for children in two policy statements and accompanying technical reports ...
Medical Xpress / Sewers reveal signs of chlamydia near college campus with few reported cases
A city's sewers say a lot about its residents. Sick people often shed pathogens in their waste, adding traceable amounts of bacteria and viruses to wastewater. Testing that wastewater offers a simple, low-cost way to monitor ...
Medical Xpress / Combination therapy may improve immune response against advanced prostate cancer
Combining the targeted therapy olaparib with an additional immunotherapy may improve immune response in a subgroup of patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer who responded poorly to initial treatment, ...
Phys.org / Focus on biodiversity conservation may offer a less divisive path to climate action in Japan
If you want to drum up support for environmental action, putting climate change front and center may not always be the best strategy. A new study by Aya Takagi and Ryosuke Nakadai of Yokohama National University suggests ...
Phys.org / A fossil feather preserved inside dinosaur poop could help explain why birds survived the mass extinction
About 66 million years ago, a dinosaur—maybe a T. rex or a Nanotyrannus—ate a bird. The record of that meal, in the form of fossilized poop, has survived to today, preserving the best example of a feather ever found from ...
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 ...
Phys.org / Northern map turtles leave Lake Erie before algal blooms peak, tracking finds
Harmful algal blooms pose serious threats to people, animals and the environment. The University of Toledo's Dr. Jeanine Refsnider counts it as a positive discovery that northern map turtles tend to steer clear, as she and ...
Phys.org / 'White graphene' reshaped at the atomic scale with tailor-made nanopores
A research team at the University of Vienna led by physicist Jani Kotakoski demonstrates how the shape of nanopores in hexagonal boron nitride—the electrically insulating counterpart to graphene, also known as "white graphene"—can ...
Tech Xplore / Unexpectedly rigid polymers boost ion transport in hydrogen fuel cell membranes
Hydrogen fuel cells are a promising clean-energy technology with the potential to reduce pollution and greenhouse gas emissions if widely adopted. As they generate electricity, the only byproduct of their reactions is water. ...
Medical Xpress / Thalamus actively contributes to the development of visual circuits, study reveals
A team led by researcher Guillermina López-Bendito at the Institute for Neurosciences (IN), a joint center of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and Miguel Hernández University of Elche (UMH), has shown that the ...
Phys.org / Rethinking how household income needs are assessed for welfare support
How much more income does a two-person household need than a person living alone? The answer is not simply twice as much. Two people need more food and other necessities, but they can also share expenses such as housing. ...
Phys.org / River erosion explains uneven crustal uplift across Basque-Cantabrian Range
A University of the Basque Country-EHU research group has determined the causes of a 255 m (837 feet) crustal uplift of the Atlantic slope and a 167 m (548 feet) uplift of the Mediterranean slope, as well as the development ...
