Nations with strong women's rights likely to have better population health and faster growth 2019-07-19
Nations with strong women's rights are more likely to have better health and faster growth than those who don't promote and protect these values.
Take a bath 90 minutes before bedtime to get better sleep 2019-07-19
Biomedical engineers have found a way for people to get better shuteye. Systematic review protocols allowed researchers to analyze thousands of studies linking water-based passive body heating, or bathing and showering with warm/hot water, with improved sleep quality.
Discovering how diabetes leads to vascular disease 2019-07-19
A team scientists and physicians has identified a cellular connection between diabetes and one of its major complications -- blood vessel narrowing that increases risks of several serious health conditions, including heart disease and stroke.
Biologist leads pioneering study on stress 2019-07-19
A biologist conducted a pioneering research study that could help us to better understand the role of dopamine in stress resilience in humans through analyzing wild songbirds. This study could lead to increased prevention and treatment of stress-related disorders.
Eco-friendly composite catalyst and ultrasound removes pollutants from water 2019-07-19
Scientists have developed a wastewater treatment process that uses a common agricultural byproduct to effectively remove pollutants and environmental hormones, which are known to be endocrine disruptors.
Newly discovered neural pathway processes acute light to affect sleep 2019-07-19
Either to check the time or waste time, people often look at their smartphones after waking in the middle of the night. While this acute burst of light does make it more difficult to fall back to sleep, a new study reports that it won't interfere with the body's overall circadian rhythms.
Genetic similarities of osteosarcoma between dogs and children 2019-07-19
A bone cancer known as osteosarcoma is genetically similar in dogs and human children, according to the results of a new study. The findings could help break the logjam in the treatment of this deadly disease, which hasn't seen a significant medical breakthrough in nearly three decades.
2016 US election linked to increase in preterm births among US Latinas 2019-07-19
A significant jump in preterm births to Latina mothers living in the U.S. occurred in the nine months following the November 8, 2016 election of President Donald Trump, according to a new study.
Air pollution linked to increase in newborn intensive care admissions 2019-07-19
Infants born to women exposed to high levels of air pollution in the week before delivery are more likely to be admitted to a newborn intensive care unit (NICU), suggests a new analysis.
Offering children a wide variety and large quantities of snack food encourages them to eat more 2019-07-19
Offering children a wide variety and large quantities of snack food encourages them to eat more - and may contribute to weight problems, a new study has found. The research also found that how snacks are presented (in a large or small container) has little influence on how much children snack.
Shedding light on darker parts of our genetic heritage 2019-07-19
More than half of our genome consists of transposons, DNA sequences that are reminiscent of ancient, extinct viruses. Transposons are normally silenced by a process known as DNA methylation, but their activation can lead to serious diseases. Very little is known about transposons but researchers in an international collaboration project have now succeeded for the first time […]
Study shows relationship between type of delivery and twins' psychological development 2019-07-19
A research team has analyzed for the first time the effect of the type of delivery on twins' psychological development and intelligence, demonstrating that cesarean section carries an independent risk in these multiple births.
Hearing loss tied with mental, physical, and social ailments in older people 2019-07-19
Hearing loss has a profound impact on older people, as it can lead to anxiety, restricted activity, and perhaps even cognitive decline and dementia. Research has examined associations of hearing loss with outdoor activity limitations, psychological distress, and memory loss in people aged 65 and over. All three conditions were significantly worse when there was […]
Understanding the mode of action of the primaquine: New insights into a 70 year old puzzle 2019-07-19
Researchers have taken significant steps in understanding the way that the anti-malarial drug primaquine (PQ) works, which they hope will lead to the development of new, safer and more effective treatments for malaria.
3q29 deletion survey: Distinct social profile, high ASD risk 2019-07-19
3q29 deletion syndrome is a strong risk factor for both schizophrenia and autism spectrum disorder. People with the rare condition have a distinct neuropsychiatric profile, researchers found.
How long does a surgery take? Researchers create model 2019-07-19
For years, surgeons have estimated how long a surgery will take. Now, researchers have created a model using data from more than 45k surgeries over four years.
Newly discovered biosynthetic pathway in bacteria recipe for drug discovery and production 2019-07-19
Researchers have described a novel biochemical strategy used by bacteria to synthesize natural products.
Boosting the discovery of new drugs to treat spinal cord injuries using zebrafish 2019-07-19
A research team led by Leonor Saúde, Principal Investigator at Instituto de Medicina Molecular, in partnership with the company Technophage, SA, has designed a simple and efficient platform that uses zebrafish to discover and identify new drugs to treat spinal cord lesions. This study is the proof-of-concept for the use of this zebrafish platform that, […]
Largest genomic study on type 2 diabetes in sub-Saharan African populations 2019-07-19
Researchers have performed the largest GWAS study on type 2 diabetes in the sub-Saharan African populations, revealing an association between the disease and previously unlinked ZRANB3 gene. By using animal models, their results show that dysfunction of the ZRANB3 gene has major repercussions on insulin production. This link may hold key answers to the treatment […]
