The more men are concerned about appearing masculine, the less likely they will forgive a co-worker for a transgression such as missing an important meeting, a study has found. What's more, such men are also more likely seek revenge or avoid the transgressor, which contributes to an unhealthy and less effective work environment.
The Indian Council of Medical Research’s (ICMR) Director General Rajiv Bahl on Wednesday, October 16, 2024, highlighted a significant advancement in tuberculosis (TB) diagnosis: a new handheld X-ray device developed for screening TB, enhancing early detection and treatment efforts and ultimately improving public health outcomes.
A new study opens the door to cutting-edge solutions that could contribute to the realization of a system capable of processing quantum information in a simple yet powerful way. The work presents a method for manipulating the photonic states of light in a never-before-seen way, offering greater control over the evolution of photon propagation. This control makes it possible to improve the detection and number of photon coincidences, as well as the efficiency of the system.
One of the key indicators of a link between the gut and PD is the prevalence of gastrointestinal symptoms, particularly constipation, long before the classic motor symptoms manifest
Researchers have developed a novel training protocol for brain-computer interfaces in a study with rhesus monkeys. The method enables precise control of prosthetic hands using signals from the brain alone. Researchers were able to show that the neural signals that control the different hand postures in the brain are primarily important for this control, and not, as previously assumed, signals that control the movement's velocity.
West Bengal’s healthcare expenditure is 1% of its gross state domestic product, and 68% of healthcare expenses in the State come from the pockets of patients, the second worst figure in India after Uttar Pradesh
A new vaccine provides hope for treating and even preventing the highly contagious and difficult-to-treat Clostridioides difficile infection, more commonly known as C. difficile or C. diff. In animal models, this first mRNA-LNP C. difficile vaccine was found to protect against C. difficile first-time infections and relapsing infections by inducing a robust immune response, promote clearance of existing C. diff bacteria from the gut, and even overcome deficits in host immunity to protect animals
Researchers describe how -- even more than just the presence of sugar and salt in the diet -- having more ultra-processed foods laden with additives can lead to higher average blood glucose levels over a period of months, a measure called HbA1C.
University of Minnesota School of Public Health (SPH) Associate Professor Dana Carroll received a new grant to assess the effectiveness of a smoking-cessation program aimed at curbing use of commercial… Continue reading →
Astronomers observed ancient quasars that appear to be surprisingly alone in the early universe. The findings challenge physicists' understanding of how such luminous objects could have formed so early on in the universe, without a significant source of surrounding matter to fuel their growth.
Tracking more than three million pregnancies in Norway and Taiwan, researchers found no association between birth defects and use of metformin by fathers during the three months before conception, which is the period of sperm development
Microorganisms do not just colonize the body of mammals during infections. Billions of microbes can be found on and in healthy humans and animals at any given time, communicating with each other via chemical signals and thus influencing their health. In two studies, researchers have now conducted a detailed study of the microbiome, i.e. the totality of all microorganisms, in humans and zoo animals.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE “This approval is a testament to the tireless advocacy of Tribal leaders, Urban Indian Organizations, and our partners,” said Francys Crevier, J.D. (Algonquin), CEO of NCUIH. “It marks a historic milestone in our ongoing efforts to ensure that American Indian and Alaska Native people in urban areas have access to culturally appropriate, holistic care that honors our Traditional Healing practices” “As we’ve long advocated, the ability to provi
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 developing environmentally friendly materials that produce electricity when compressed or exposed to vibrations.
The demand for healthcare is growing and the NHS is facing the challenge of treating patients with multiple long-term conditions in high-cost settings, with limited resource set aside for prevention. An ageing population with multiple long-term conditions highlights the need for training tomorrow’s doctors with skills such as Generalism, leadership and an interprofessional approach to patient care.
Scientists found that cellulose diacetate foam (CDA) is the fastest degrading bioplastic in an ocean environment. This new foam material is demonstrated to be a viable replacement for Styrofoam products and single-use plastics, like food packaging trays, as it achieves all the benefits of plastic but doesn't contribute to plastic pollution. This biodegradable bioplastic foam was evaluated in a flow-through seawater tank.
PHAB is collaborating with Defense Health Agency Public Health, an organization within the U.S. Department of Defense that supports military DPHs, to strengthen public health practice on military installations through public health accreditation. The post Advancing the Achievement of National Accreditation in Military Departments of Public Health first appeared on JPHMP Direct.
By combining visible light and electrochemistry, researchers have enhanced the conversion of carbon dioxide into valuable products and stumbled upon a surprising discovery. The team found that visible light significantly improved an important chemical attribute called selectivity, opening new avenues not only for CO2 conversion but also for many other chemical reactions used in catalysis research and chemical manufacturing.
Fish can accumulate high levels of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), even far from sources of contamination, according to a new study. The research highlights the need for expanded monitoring in watersheds affected by large PFAS sources, such as military bases across the country that have been contaminated by the use of PFAS-containing foams for fire-training and firefighting activities.
This multi-state study is a real world data analyses of the effectiveness of the RSV -- short for respiratory syncytial virus -- vaccine. VISION Network researchers report that across the board these vaccines were highly effective in older adults, even those with immunocompromising conditions, during the 2023-24 respiratory disease season, the first season after RSV vaccine approval in the U.S.
Researchers have unveiled a pioneering method for the efficient combustion of biofuels, using a revolutionary Swirl Burst (SB) injector to burn glycerol/methanol blends with near-zero emissions. This new technology enables ultra-clean combustion for fuels that are typically difficult to burn due to their high viscosity.
In an age of information overload, leaders must build “bond ambition” by creating authentic connections and trust, beyond mere tactical communication. This involves meaningful narratives and consistent actions to forge lasting bonds and shared visions.
Many plankton journey from the cold, dark depths of our oceans to the surface, only to eventually drift down again into the darkness in a perpetual rhythm. Yet, how single-celled phytoplankton, most of which have no appendages to help them swim, make this pilgrimage has remained a mystery. Researchers now describe a species of bioluminescent phytoplankton, called Pyrocystis noctiluca, that balloons to six times their original size of a few hundred microns.
Public health, explained: Sign up to receive Healthbeat’s free Atlanta newsletter here. My introduction to health reporting came from a last-minute change — at least the way I understand it. I was one of 10 high school summer interns at the San Diego Union-Tribune, my hometown newspaper. During the third week of the program, each of us was assigned to a full-time journalist; for a few days, we would help the reporters, and the reporters would show us what it’s like to produce stories.
A new study gets scientists closer to more fully understanding where viruses fit into the global ocean picture of cycling nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus and, of particular interest, carbon. Researchers report on their creation of a catalog of genes that viruses 'stole' from the marine microbes they infected across all of the world's oceans, identifying and organizing almost 23,000 genes known as auxiliary metabolic genes (AMGs), including over 7,000 never previously documented.
