CLINICAL WEBSITES

Schooling is critical for cognitive health throughout life 2020-08-10
New research suggests that education provides little to no protection against the onset of cognitive declines later in life. It can, however, boost the cognitive skills people develop earlier in life, pushing back the point at which age-related dementia begins to impact a person's ability to care for themselves.
Non-fasting blood test can help screen youth for prediabetes and diabetes 2020-08-10
A simple blood test that does not require overnight fasting has been found to be an accurate screening tool for identifying youth at risk for type 2 diabetes and heart disease risk later in life.
HPV strains may impact cervical cancer prognosis 2020-08-10
An analysis of cervical cancers in Ugandan women has uncovered significant genomic differences between tumors caused by different strains of human papillomavirus (HPV), signifying HPV type may impact cervical cancer characteristics and prognosis.
Quality of care at rural hospitals may not differ as much as reported 2020-08-10
A research team found that differences in diagnosis coding practices has resulted in artificially inflated mortality rate comparisons to other hospitals.
Detailed molecular workings of a key system in learning and memory formation 2020-08-10
Biochemists report how they used advanced sequencing technology to clear up uncertainty and determine all variants of a single protein/enzyme known as calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) in the hippocampus, the brain's memory center.
Individual differences in the brain 2020-08-10
If selection reinforces a behavior, brain activities soon change as well.
Personal connections key to climate adaptation 2020-08-10
Connections with friends and family are key to helping communities adapt to the devastating impact of climate change on their homes and livelihoods. The research found people are more empowered to deal with the impact of encroaching sea-levels and dwindling fish stocks when they see others doing the same.
Globally, only half of women get treatment for preventable killer of newborns 2020-08-10
Only half of pregnant women worldwide who need a 50-year-old treatment that prevents an often-fatal disease in fetuses and newborns receive it, researchers have found.
Imaging method highlights new role for cellular 'skeleton' protein 2020-08-10
While your skeleton helps your body to move, fine skeleton-like filaments within your cells likewise help cellular structures to move. Now, researchers have developed a new imaging method that lets them monitor a small subset of these filaments, called actin.
Nanocatalysts that remotely control chemical reactions inside living cells 2020-08-10
The enzymes responsible for catalytic reactions in our body's biological reactions are difficult to use for diagnosis or treatment as they react only to certain molecules or have low stability. Many researchers anticipate that if these issues are ameliorated or if artificial catalysts are developed to create a synergetic effect by meeting the enzymes in […]
Confused by whole grain labels on food packaging? Study finds you're not alone 2020-08-10
Whole grain labels are confusing to consumers, according to a new study that found many made the wrong choice when asked to pick the healthier option based on product labels. The researchers say the results provide legal evidence for changes in labeling policies.
Gulf war illness, chronic fatigue syndrome distinct illnesses, Georgetown study suggests 2020-08-10
A brain imaging study of veterans with Gulf War illness (GWI) and patients with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) (sometimes called myalgic encephalomyelitis), has shown that the two illnesses produce distinctly different, abnormal patterns of brain activity after moderate exercise.
New treatment targets found for blinding retinal disease 2020-08-10
When the eye isn't getting enough oxygen in the face of common conditions like premature birth or diabetes, it sets in motion a state of frenzied energy production that can ultimately result in blindness, and now scientists have identified new points where they may be able to calm the frenzy and instead enable recovery.
Math shows how brain stays stable amid internal noise and a widely varying world 2020-08-10
A new theoretical framework shows that many properties of neural connections help biological circuits produce consistent computations.
Study finds ATV-related head and neck injuries among youth continue to remain high 2020-08-10
A new study analyzed data regarding ATV-related head and neck injuries treated in U.S. emergency departments from 1990 through 2014 involving patients younger than 18 years of age.
Restaurant customers frown on automatic gratuities, particularly after good service 2020-08-10
Automatic gratuities leave restaurant patrons with a bad taste, even when the meal and the service were excellent, new research indicates.
Mouthwashes could reduce the risk of coronavirus transmission, study shows 2020-08-10
Results from cell culture experiments show that commercially available preparations have an effect on Sars-Cov-2 viruses.
Chemist's new process fast-tracks drug treatments for viral infections and cancer 2020-08-08
Discovering antiviral and anticancer drugs will soon be faster and cheaper thanks to new research.
Highly sensitive dopamine detector uses 2D materials 2020-08-07
A supersensitive dopamine detector can help in the early diagnosis of several disorders that result in too much or too little dopamine, according to new research.
Authors' 'invisible' words reveal blueprint for storytelling 2020-08-07
The ''invisible'' words that shaped Dickens classics also lead audiences through Spielberg dramas. And according to new research, these small words can be found in a similar pattern across most storylines, no matter the length or format.
