Parts of the U.S. are experiencing smoke from Canadian wildfires drifting down and rising summer temperatures, creating a potentially deadly situation, according to the American Heart Association, a relentless force changing the future of health for everyone everywhere.
With high input costs and volatile crop markets affecting profitability, many Tennessee row crop producers are looking to diversify their farming operations in coming years. Canola, a cool-season crop, could serve as an alternative to winter wheat and offer access to new international markets and revenue opportunities.
Body Mass Index (BMI) has long been used in public health and clinical settings as a simple tool to classify an individual's physical status based on their height and weight. Originally developed in the 1830s by Belgian mathematician Adolphe Quetelet, BMI was designed to describe the characteristics of the average man rather than to assess an individual's health, and it did not account for age, sex, ethnicity or body composition.
A YSE-led study published in Environmental Research Letters found that current federal rules regulating American ginseng harvest—based on plant age and leaf count—poorly predict the biological traits that matter most for conservation.
Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center identified an immune pathway that may promote the progression of oral precancerous lesions into head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. These results provide insight into how precancers gradually establish immune tolerance that allows cancer development.
Conceived by famed sociologist Paula England in the mid-1990s, occupational devaluation theory helps explain why workers in occupations with more women get paid less than workers in occupations with more men.
Recognizing that nurses are an untapped resource for health care solutions, Penn Nursing has released a comprehensive guide for institutions to build their own nurse-led innovation accelerators. The model, supported by the Bedford Falls Foundation, provides a structured pathway to move nurse-led ideas from simple "one-offs" to scalable, commercialized solutions.
Dropping standardized testing requirements may make college admission more accessible for some, but it can also make it harder for universities to identify high-potential students, according to new research published in Management Science. The research suggests the decision involves nuanced trade-offs between the informational value of test scores and barriers to access. Moreover, the study shows that dropping the testing requirement can move diversity and academic merit in the same direction: It is possible to improve both or worsen both at once.
A new study published in the Journal of the American College of Radiology (JACR) suggests that venture capital (VC) is playing a significant and growing role in driving innovation in radiology. The study, "Venture Capital Investments in Radiology from 2000–2023," found that a total of $11.4 billion was invested across 646 companies, with funding especially concentrated in medical devices, artificial intelligence health care software, and biotechnology and drug discovery.
At least 12,000 excess deaths were recorded across nine European countries during June's heat wave, national statistics indicated, a toll that could yet rise as more data are released, according to an AFP analysis.
The European Union on Friday unveils reforms to its carbon market after fierce wrangling among countries, industry and activists over the pace of the bloc's climate push.
An open-source flight-control system found in consumer drones has been installed in Ukraine’s latest cruise missile, showing how cheap technology is making military hardware accessible to all
Heavy, pungent wildfire smoke darkened skies in the U.S. on Thursday from the Great Lakes to parts of the East Coast, reducing visibility and prompting warnings that breathing the air outside could be dangerous.
Experiments will take advantage of the solar eclipse in August to learn more about the sun and Earth at a relatively low cost
A research team at Fujita Health University led by Professor Tsuyoshi Miyakawa has uncovered a novel mechanism of cellular plasticity in which repeated neuronal stimulation can durably alter the identity of mature neurons. Using a neural stimulation pattern termed "Repetitive Optogenetic Stimulation (REPOPS)," the researchers found that granule cells of the hippocampal dentate gyrus undergo long-lasting changes in nuclear structure and gene expression, revealing a novel process which the team terms "nuclear reprogramming."
For decades, scientists have disputed the meaning of the weapons found in the burial chambers of some ancient Egyptian princesses. Were they symbolic or practical tools? Now, a reassessment of five royal women's mummies from the Middle Kingdom has shown that some princesses buried with weapons could use them.
For millions of stroke survivors, something as simple as picking up a glass of water or holding a sandwich is a daily challenge. Quentin Sanders wants to make those moments easier through wearable robotic technology designed to restore hand function.
"Guardrails" built by the EU to govern AI fall short in both ambition and execution and have become too heavy to absorb rapid changes in technology, a new study in Big Data & Society warns.
A new study published in Frontiers in Sports and Active Living shows that Finnish golf players spend approximately €330 million on golf annually and that this generates an estimated benefit to society almost twice as high.
As the Trump administration's January deadline looms for states to enforce new Medicaid work requirements, some state lawmakers are turning the tables by pushing to publicly name the largest companies that have employees enrolled in the government program covering low-income and disabled people.
