'Contaminated' cultures: Can conservation protect nature while excluding Indigenous peoples?

At an international heritage symposium in Japan, I heard a word that stayed with me: "contaminated." The discussion concerned whether Indigenous peoples needed to be named explicitly in a new World Heritage framework. One argument was that Indigenous cultures had changed through contact, survival and adaptation, and therefore no longer required distinct recognition. I found that deeply troubling.

Traditional farming supports food, nature and cultural identity

Traditionally farmed landscapes can help produce food while also protecting nature and keeping cultural traditions alive. A research team led by the University of Göttingen recently examined Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems (GIAHS) as defined and recognized by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. The researchers found that these landscapes can offer practical lessons for sustainable land use worldwide—but only if strategies are adapted to local people, environments and farming traditions. The results are published in Ecology & Society.

Awareness of Freedom House Ambulance Service, historically overlooked, surged after 'The Pitt'

After an episode of the popular TV medical drama "The Pitt" included a character from Freedom House Ambulance Service—the nation's first emergency medical service, which was staffed entirely by African Americans—awareness of these long-overlooked pioneers in prehospital care surged. That's according to a first-of-its-kind study by researchers at the University of Pittsburgh School of Public Health and published in American Journal of Health Promotion.

A 19-year 'goldmine' of mountain cloud and rainwater samples provides fresh insights about air pollution

Rainfall history is just as critical to predicting air pollution as where the air came from, a team led by University of Michigan Engineering researchers, in collaboration with scientists at the Appalachian Mountain Club and Plymouth State University, has discovered. The findings give meteorologists a physical benchmark to improve simulations that predict changes in pollution levels over complex terrain. They also show how air pollution can be deposited in sensitive mountain environments, with downstream effects for waterways fed from the mountains.

Emergency department study shows major gaps in flu vaccination

A University of California, Riverside-led study of more than 3,200 emergency department (ED) patients across the United States found that while awareness of influenza vaccination is widespread, most adults seen in EDs are not up to date on their annual flu vaccine.

Ancient curse tablet bears rare Greek inscription with binding spell intended to harm enemies

Heidelberg University researchers have deciphered the inscription on an ancient curse tablet, which was once used to invoke deities and demons in order to harm an enemy. The "magical" artifact from the Roman province of Lower Germania was discovered during excavations carried out in the Dutch municipality of Heerlen. The lead tablet, which dates to the 2nd century A.D., is distinctive in that it contains not a Latin but an ancient Greek text in the Egyptian style, as Dr. Rodney Ast, academic director at the Institute for Papyrology, explains.

AI vital signs system outperforms fixed-threshold ICU monitoring

Researchers have developed an artificial intelligence-based patient monitoring system they say can identify signs of clinical deterioration earlier and more accurately than existing approaches. The system could help hospital staff intervene before a patient's condition becomes critical. Details are discussed in the International Journal of Ad Hoc and Ubiquitous Computing.

Targeting Schwann cells: A new approach to repairing corneal injury

The cornea—the clear, dome-shaped outer layer of the eye—contains more nerves per surface area than any other tissue in the human body. Its nerve density is 300–600 times that of the skin. These nerves are vital for preserving eye health, sending pain signals to let you know if your eye is at risk of damage from bright light or a foreign object—and reminding you to continuously blink to prevent your eyes from drying out.

Multilingual benchmark evaluates how well AI interprets clinical text and health records in nine languages

Researchers at Mass General Brigham recently developed BRIDGE, a multilingual benchmark that evaluates how well large language models (LLMs) understand clinical patient care text, including language used in electronic health records (EHRs), across nine languages. The benchmarking tool could help clinicians evaluate and compare LLMs for use in specific contexts. Results are published in Nature Biomedical Engineering.

Emergency department visits increased during and after Aliso Canyon gas blowout

Emergency department use rose significantly during and after the 2015–16 Aliso Canyon gas blowout, according to a new paper from the UCLA Aliso Canyon Disaster Health Research Study. Data showed that people living downwind of the blowout had 26 more emergency department visits per 1,000 residents from before to during the disaster, compared with the same time frame in a demographically similar comparison community. That surge remained similarly high a year later.

Colorectal tumors use mitochondrial complex II to stockpile iron, but eliminating it causes cell death

Scientists know that colorectal cancer cells require large amounts of iron and that as cancer becomes more aggressive, the cells have even higher amounts of iron. Normal cells with high levels of iron would undergo a type of iron-related cell death called ferroptosis. But in cancer cells, the iron continues to accumulate well beyond normal levels without succumbing to expected cell death processes.

Study advocates cross-tier traceability to improve food safety

The Hong Kong SAR imports more than 90% of its food, and it can be very difficult, when food safety incidents occur, to trace the source across a complex supply chain. Prof. Leng Mingming, dean of the Faculty of Business and chair professor of operations and risk management at Lingnan University, has published a new study proposing the introduction of a unified product tracing system across the food supply chain.
