Young children learn to regulate their appetite through a combination of biological, psychological, and sociological factors. Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign propose a model that explores these factors and provide guidelines for better understanding childhood appetite self-regulation.
New study finds people treated with anti-VEGF eye injections for retinal conditions are at higher risk of complications following cataract surgery.
With time being of the essence for patients facing one of cancer's most dire complications, UCLA researchers are working to create a new test to detect cancer’s spread to the central nervous system on the same day as the doctor’s visit.
The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Launches New Thoracic Surgery Risk Calculators
Today, the Rutgers Board of Governors appointed Steven K. Libutti, MD, FACS, as the inaugural William N. Hait Director of Rutgers Cancer Institute, a position named in honor of the institute’s founding director.
Americans believe volunteering to help strangers contributes more to society than providing care for family or friends, even though they contribute billions of dollars’ worth of labor in unpaid caregiving every year, according to research published by the American Psychological Association.
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the primary cause of death among adults over age 65 years. Seniors are also likely to have low blood levels of Vitamin D, which has been linked to cardiovascular disease. Despite this, many observational trials have not demonstrated that Vitamin D supplementation reduces cardiovascular disease risk.
The U.S. Department of Energy’s CyberForce® Program is hosting the 10th edition of its annual competition, aimed at fostering cybersecurity talent.
A new collaboration between researchers in South Korea and Florida State University is improving hurricane forecasting by incorporating the effects of sea spray into the models that predict hurricane behavior.
Michigan’s rivers and lakes were once cold enough that fish were protected from some infection-causing parasites. As the Great Lakes ecosystem warms, a Michigan State University researcher is investigating new pathogens that may become relevant to the fish that live here.
Soon, most of the U.S. will gain an hour as we “fall back” to standard time. But in a survey by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, 6 in 10 (64%) Americans support eliminating seasonal time changes.
In oilseed crops like canola, yellow-seeded varieties generally produce more oil than brown-seeded varieties. Camelina, a bioenergy crop closely related to canola, usually has brown seeds. Scientists have now disrupted genes called TT8 that are responsible for making seeds brown, producing an engineered camelina with light yellow seeds that accumulates more than 20% more oil than ordinary varieties.
Researchers at Wake Forest University School of Medicine have received a three-year, $4.5 million grant from the Department of Defense to study cervical spine injuries in military personnel.
Imagine tires that charge a vehicle as it drives, streetlights powered by the rumble of traffic, or skyscrapers that generate electricity as the buildings naturally sway and shudder. These energy innovations could be possible thanks to researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
In a peer-reviewed study believed to be the first of its kind published, a research team led by Johns Hopkins Medicine provides scientific evidence that a healthy diet may reduce the chance of low risk prostate cancer progressing to a more aggressive state in men undergoing active surveillance — a clinical option in which men with lower risk cancer are carefully monitored for progression in lieu of treatments that could have undesired side effects or complications.
Fine-tuning the Tools that Enhance Reproducibility
The first real-world study on mirvetuximab ocular toxicity shows more than 55 percent of patients experienced decreased vision due to corneal damage.
A new study, conducted by a group of researchers led by Penn Nursing and Perelman School of Medicine and funded by the Centers for Disease Control, found a strong association between handheld cellphone use and risky driving behaviors among newly licensed teen drivers. The study, published online first in JAMA Open, used a smartphone telematics application to track the driving habits of hundreds of teens and identify potential safety risks.
