Medical Xpress / Endolymphatic duct blockage beneficial for vertigo in Meniere disease
Endolymphatic duct blockage (EDB) is more effective than intratympanic methylprednisolone (ITMP) injection for controlling vertigo symptoms among patients with Meniere disease (MD), according to a study published online May ...
Medical Xpress / What is a rip current, and how can you survive if you get caught in one?
Going into the ocean is not always the safest endeavor. While many people fear sharks and other creatures that lurk beneath the waves, they're more at risk of falling victim to a rip current.
Medical Xpress / Mobile phone data helps track pathogen spread and evolution of superbugs
A new way to map the spread and evolution of pathogens, and their responses to vaccines and antibiotics, will provide key insights to help predict and prevent future outbreaks. The approach combines a pathogen's genomic data ...
Phys.org / Can we make 'citizen science' better?
During a stifling heat wave in August 2021, 80 volunteers from Massachusetts communities along the Mystic River fixed sensors to their car windows and bicycles, traveling along 19 predetermined routes recording ambient temperature ...
Tech Xplore / Novel 3D stretchable electronic strip could spark new possibilities for wearable e-textiles
Researchers have developed a novel 3D stretchable electronic strip which is expected to open up a range of new possibilities in wearable electronic textiles.
Phys.org / Synthesis method for 1D segmented heteronanostructures uses stress-induced axial ordering
One-dimensional segmented heteronanostructures (1D-SHs) are promising candidates in fields such as photoelectrocatalysis (PEC) and thermoelectrics. Currently, the synthesis of 1D-SHs mainly focuses on sulfides and selenides, ...
Tech Xplore / Microsoft to invest 2.2 bn euros in Spain data centers
Microsoft is to invest 2.2 billion euros ($2.4 billion) in a huge data center project in northeastern Spain, regional authorities said Wednesday as the area seeks to establish itself as a cloud storage hotspot.
Phys.org / New mRNA technology turns cells into long-lasting drug factories
A team of researchers has established a ribonucleic acid (RNA)-based method that drives cells in the body to produce therapeutic proteins and secrete them into the bloodstream. The approach could potentially extend the lifespan ...
Medical Xpress / Researchers develop low volume resuscitant for prehospital treatment of severe hemorrhagic shock
Extensive blood loss after injuries is life-threatening and must be counteracted as fast as possible. Relatively small volume injections of solutions of a novel star-shaped polymer could compensate for the loss of fluid without ...
Medical Xpress / Etiology of spinal cord injury affects QOL outcomes after bladder surgery
For patients undergoing urinary diversion for neurogenic bladder (NGB), the postoperative impact on urinary-related quality of life (UrQOL) is milder for spinal cord injury of congenital (C-SCI) etiology versus acquired (A-SCI) ...
Phys.org / A 4,500-year-old collective tomb in France reveals final stage in formation of the 'European genome'
High-resolution analysis of the genomes of individuals buried in a 4,500-year-old collective tomb at Bréviandes-les-Pointes, near the French town of Troyes, has revealed a surprising story with far-reaching implications. ...
Phys.org / Researchers capture never-before-seen view of gene transcription
Every living cell transcribes DNA into RNA. This process begins when an enzyme called RNA polymerase (RNAP) clamps onto DNA. Within a few hundred milliseconds, the DNA double helix unwinds to form a node known as the transcription ...
