A team of international researchers has developed a natural fabric that urban residents could wear to counter rising temperatures in cities worldwide, caused by buildings, asphalt, and concrete.
En un nuevo artículo de investigación publicado {hoy/esta semana} en la revista médica New England Journal of Medicine, los expertos en el tema recomiendan encarecidamente que todos los sectores de la comunidad de atención de la salud actualicen sus enfoques para poder enfrentar la crisis permanente del VIH/SIDA en la población latina. Este llamado a la acción surge en un momento en el que se refleja un progreso general en el esfuerzo realizado por varias décadas para erradicar la epidemia en los Estados Unidos.
In a new paper published on October 9 in the New England Journal of Medicine, experts are urging all sectors of the health care community to urgently evolve their approaches to meet the continuing HIV/AIDS crisis among Latinos. This call-to-action comes at a time when the decades-long effort to end the epidemic in the U.S. is showing overall progress.
St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital was recognized as one of the top 10 pediatric cancer hospitals for the 17th straight year by U.S. News & World Report. Every year since 2008, the publication has evaluated about 100 hospitals with pediatric oncology programs and ranked the top 50 as part of its annual list of Best Children’s Hospitals.
Stem cell researcher Teresa Bowman, Ph.D., has been appointed chair of the department of developmental & molecular biology (DMB) at Albert Einstein College of Medicine after a comprehensive national search. Dr. Bowman will begin her new role on December 1, following the longtime leadership of Richard Stanley, Ph.D.
تحدث العديد من حالات سقوط الأطفال في المنزل أو في الملعب، لكن الوقاية ممكنة. يؤكد توم هلادا، الممرض المسجل ومنسق صدمات الأطفال في مايو كلينك بروتشستر، مينيسوتا، أن بعض هذه الإصابات يمكن تجنبها.
A new study has found some cancers to be slightly more frequent in people with multiple sclerosis (MS) than in people without MS. The study is published in the October 9, 2024, online issue of Neurology®, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology. Types of cancers found to have a small increased risk include bladder, brain and cervical cancers. The study does not prove that MS increases a person’s risk of cancer. It only shows an association.
The University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing (Penn Nursing) has been awarded a $3.3 million grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to develop and evaluate a new intervention designed to improve communication between parents and their gay or bisexual adolescent sons.
Fall is here and with it, comes cold and flu season. With schools back in session and people gathering inside more, COVID will also be a player in this year’s circulating respiratory viruses. Corewell Health’s infectious disease experts Dr. Russ Lampen and Dr. Nick Gilpin teamed up to answer the most frequently asked questions when it comes to this year’s COVID vaccine.

Researchers have identified how the architecture of brain circuits helps different species flexibly adapt to new mating signals across evolutionary timeframes.
Using mechanisms inspired by nature to create new technological innovations is a signature of one Virginia Tech research team. The group led by Associate Professor Michael Bartlett has created an octopus-inspired adhesive, inspired by the shape of octopus suckers, that can quickly grab and controllably release challenging underwater objects.
Uranus, the planet second most distant from our Sun, has been described as mysterious, strange, and fairly unknown to those of us here on Earth. However, in astronomy, these terms are pretty relative. Compared to the remote, dark stretches of the early universe or oddball exoplanets dozens of light-years from our solar system, researchers actually know a lot about Uranus.
Using Hubble, astronomers have discovered that Jupiter's Great Red Spot (GRS) is not as stable as it might look. Hubble measurements of the GRS's size, shape, brightness, color, and vorticity showed it can change dimensions—looking like a slightly skinnier or fatter red oval over 90 days.
A new solution deposition process for semiconductors yields high-performing transistors by introducing more defects, counterintuitively. Researchers used these devices to construct high-speed logic circuits and an operational high-resolution inorganic LED display.
Rutgers University–New Brunswick senior Gabrielle Carmella is a unique student with a unique internship opportunity. The 21-year-old, who attends the Mason Gross School of the Arts and is pursuing a fine arts degree with a concentration in photography and printmaking with a minor in women's and gender studies, has spent her summer interning at the Zimmerli Art Museum and will continue through December.
Researchers at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams reached a new milestone in isotope studies, accelerating a high-power beam of uranium ions to a record 10.4 kilowatts of continuous beam power to a target. The beam enabled scientists to produce and identify three new isotopes, gallium-88, arsenic-93, and selenium-96.
