To enhance biosensor development via artificial intelligence (AI) and offer STEM education opportunities to K-12 students from underserved communities, the U.S. National Science Foundation recently awarded researchers at Penn State a three-year, $1.5 million grant.
The John and Daria Barry Foundation will expand clinical and research programs on eye disease
At a glance: Study in mice reveals rapid release of dopamine is not needed for initiating movement but is important for activities related to reward-seeking and motivation. The findings help explain why the widely used Parkinson’s drug levodopa improves movement-related symptoms but often fails to ameliorate some cognitive ones. The work may inform the development of new therapies that restore both slow and fast dopamine action to treat multiple symptoms.
Despite having no greater chance of developing problems after high risk cardiovascular surgery, women are more likely than men to die from postoperative complications, a University of Michigan-led study suggests. The quality of a hospital where the procedure was performed did not affect the disparity between sexes. Researchers say the "failure to rescue" is an issue for the entire United States health care system.
The collaboration is backed by a substantial new investment from PICI, which recently committed $125 million(Link is external) (Link opens in new window) to expand research efforts across a collaborative consortium of immuno-oncology academic research institutions.
A total of 51 Mercy Medical Center physicians were recognized in Baltimore magazine’s November 2024 “Top Doctors” issue, representing 32 separate specialties, ranging from cardiology to urogynecology.
Batteries power everything from smartphones to electric vehicles, with their performance hinging on the critical interface between the electrode and electrolyte. Penn State and industry researchers have developed a method to observe this interface at a higher resolution, which could potentially reveal new ways to improve battery efficiency and lifespan.
The October issue of AJG highlights new clinical science and reviews on insurance barriers to care in IBD and CRC screening, a follow-up strategy for small HCC, and the role of bowel prep quality in colonoscopy findings and CRC deaths.
Ozarks Healthcare has announced a strategic partnership with Avo, (formerly known as AvoMD) to integrate Avo's advanced AI clinical decision support platform into its MEDITECH Electronic Health Record (EHR) system. Ozarks Healthcare, a comprehensive system including a 114-bed acute care hospital and various specialty clinics, will implement Avo's cutting-edge technology to enhance clinician workflows and improve patient care across its facilities.
Alaska’s Iliamna Lake harbor seals have been difficult to study because of their remoteness. They weren’t even identified as harbor seals until 2013. Now, a new genetic study has found significant differences, indicating that the Iliamna seals may represent a unique, endemic form of harbor seal. Findings suggest they may be evolutionarily, reproductively, and demographically distinct from other Pacific harbor seal populations sampled across the Pacific, including Japan, the Commander Islands, other parts of Alaska, and California.
The Hubble Space Telescope has provided a dramatic and colorful close-up look at R Aquarii, one of the most rambunctious stars in our galaxy, weaving a huge spiral pattern among the stars.
This year, the U.S. Department of Energy's Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility celebrates the 40th anniversary of its founding to probe the secrets of the subatomic universe. And for 39 of those years, esteemed physicist Volker D. Burkert has been an important part of its mission. Now, Burkert is being honored for his contributions to advancements in experimental physics with the prestigious Tom W. Bonner Prize in Nuclear Physics. The citation reads: “For exemplary leadership in the development of high-performance instrumentation for large acceptance spectrometers that have enabled breakthroughs in fundamental nuclear physics through electroproduction measurements of exclusive processes."
Monmouth Medical Center (MMC), an RWJBarnabas Health facility, raised the final beam at the Specialty and Cancer Care Pavilion at the Vogel Medical Campus on October 8, marking a significant milestone in the system’s commitment to bring care closer to where people live, work and play across Monmouth County.
The October 2024 edition Mercy Medical Center’s monthly talk show, “Medoscopy,” features a visit to West Covington Park in Baltimore to explore the 15th annual HEAT IT TO BEAT event, held Sunday, September 22nd.
A new study by researchers at the UNC School of Medicine has identified a new biological function of 2’3’-cGAMP in the control of cell migration and cancer metastasis. This research also provides further insights into statin drugs that block cell migration.
Prof. James A. Robinson of the University of Chicago has been awarded the 2024 Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel.
Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the National Energy Technology Laboratory have developed and 3D printed the lightest crack-free alloy capable of operating without melting at temperatures above 2400 degrees Fahrenheit. This milestone could enable additively manufactured turbine blades to better handle extreme temperatures, reducing the carbon footprint of gas turbine engines such as those used in airplanes.
Until 2024, China's three major airline, China Southern Airlines, China Eastern Airlines and Air China have adopted the C919 aircraft, making the commercial operation of the country's first domestically developed large passenger aircraft from Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (COMAC).
