“‘Deprescribing’ elevated into a movement, and a cultural default, is a clinical hazard,” writes Sunny Patel.
MDCalc is launching a quality-rating system for the more than 800 clinical calculators used to assess disease risk, transplant eligibility, and more.
Advocates worry that excluding trans youth in some way from LGBTQ+ counseling services provided through the 988 crisis line could be harmful.
A drug originally developed for spinal cord injury may offer a fresh approach to treating Alzheimer’s disease. In mouse studies, KCL-286 repaired dangerous DNA damage, reduced inflammation, and targeted multiple disease-related pathways instead of focusing on just amyloid or tau. Since it has already cleared an initial human safety trial, researchers believe it could move more quickly into Alzheimer’s clinical testing.
The expansive mudflats, sandy beaches, and mangrove forests of the Bijagós archipelago support an array of migratory shorebirds and large numbers of sea turtles. The post A Tide-Fueled Trove of Biodiversity in Guinea-Bissau appeared first on NASA Science.
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.
A new experimental treatment may have found a way to outsmart glioblastoma’s toughest defense: the blood-brain barrier. Researchers used sugar-coated nanoparticles to ferry genetic instructions that restore a key tumor-suppressing protein directly into brain cancer cells. In mouse studies, the therapy increased median survival by 50% while shrinking tumors without noticeable damage to other organs.
Two papers by researchers and policy practitioners provide evidence-based suggestions to help Japan's health system continue to flourish, even as its population rapidly ages.
A new United Nations report co-authored by researchers at the University of Portsmouth provides governments with a practical roadmap for building sustainable blue economies, as pollution, climate change and biodiversity loss place growing pressure on the marine and freshwater ecosystems that support billions of people and a global ocean economy worth US$2.2 trillion.
Thousands of the world's languages remain largely invisible to modern translation technology, but researchers and students at Brigham Young University are working to change that. Through a project called Pathsay, students in the BYU MATRIX lab are partnering with international BYU-Pathway Worldwide students to collect speech and text data for low-resource languages, helping preserve linguistic heritage and improve access to translation tools for communities often overlooked by mainstream technology.
Breastfeeding is widely recognized for its important role in supporting a child's early growth and immune system development. Previous studies have found that exclusive breastfeeding for 4 to 6 months is associated with a lower risk of bronchial asthma and allergic rhinitis during early childhood. Recognizing these health benefits, the World Health Organization recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months of life. Despite its positive effects, its impact on food allergies remains inconclusive.
Austria suggests that water plays a much more complex and profound role in older women's lives than previously recognized.
For veterans with type 2 diabetes (T2D) receiving basal insulin therapy, the addition of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) does not increase the rate of insulin discontinuation compared with other glucose-lowering agents, according to a study published online July 14 in the Annals of Internal Medicine.
When University of Rhode Island researchers slipped beneath the surface of the Moosup River recently, they did not expect to find a living freshwater mussel community. The discovery marked the first documented record of freshwater mussels in the river in more than three decades and included rare native species considered sensitive indicators of river health.
