Doctors and patients interested in environmental impact of health care decisions, study finds
Science Daily - Public Health
SEPTEMBER 12, 2024
In a series of focus groups conducted in different areas of the United States, doctors and patients expressed openness to considering environmental factors when discussing treatment options. The findings suggest that educating physicians about the environmental costs of treatment -- and how those costs may be reduced while continuing to deliver excellent care -- can be a first step toward that goal.
Climate-change-triggered 2023 mega-landslide caused Earth to vibrate for nine days
Science Daily: Pharmacology News
SEPTEMBER 12, 2024
A landslide in a remote part of Greenland caused a 200 meter (650 foot) mega-tsunami that sloshed back and forth across a fjord for nine days, generating vibrations throughout Earth, according to a new study. The study concluded that this movement of water was the cause of a mysterious, global seismic signal that lasted for nine days and puzzled seismologists in September 2023.

Homeless sweeps thwarting health care in California as medicine, ID lost
HEALTHBEAT
SEPTEMBER 12, 2024
Andrew Douglass shoved his clothes and belongings into plastic trash bags as five police officers surrounded his encampment — a drab gray tent overflowing along a bustling sidewalk in the gritty Tenderloin neighborhood, where homeless people lie sprawled on public sidewalks, sometimes in drug overdoses. Officers gave him a choice: Go to a shelter or get arrested and cited for sleeping outside.
Quantum researchers cause controlled 'wobble' in the nucleus of a single atom
Science Daily: Pharmacology News
SEPTEMBER 12, 2024
Researchers have been able to initiate a controlled movement in the very heart of an atom. They caused the atomic nucleus to interact with one of the electrons in the outermost shells of the atom. This electron could be manipulated and read out through the needle of a scanning tunneling microscope. The research offers prospects for storing quantum information inside the nucleus, where it is safe from external disturbances.

Without immediate action, humanity will potentially face further escalation in resistance in fungal disease, a group of scientists from the around the world has warned. According to the scientists most fungal pathogens identified by the World Health Organization -- accounting for around 3.8 million deaths a year -- are either already resistant or rapidly acquiring resistance to antifungal drugs.
Impact of climate change on agriculture suggests even greater challenges to the environment, global food supply and public health
Science Daily: Pharmacology News
SEPTEMBER 12, 2024
A sweeping global research review of the links between climate and agriculture reveals the likelihood of an emergent feedback loop whereby, as climate change puts more pressure on the global food supply, agriculture will, by necessity, adopt practices that may exacerbate its environmental impact. The paper also identifies new agricultural practices that have the potential to increase efficiency and stabilize our food supply in the decades to come.

Targeted immune intervention and stopping ART in model of SIV infection leads to control of viral replication and reservoirs
Science Daily: Pharmacology News
SEPTEMBER 12, 2024
Researchers have shown unprecedented control of SIV replication and decay of viral reservoirs by combining a stringent model of infection with the interruption of antiretroviral therapy (ART). The success of this immune-based approach follows the research team's identification of the mechanisms of action for PD1 and IL-10, molecules known to regulate HIV persistence and immune dysfunction.
Trilobite fossils from upstate New York reveal 'extra' set of legs
Science Daily: Pharmacology News
SEPTEMBER 12, 2024
A new study finds that a trilobite species with exceptionally well-preserved fossils from upstate New York has an additional set of legs underneath its head. The research suggests that having a fifth pair of head appendages might be more widespread among trilobites than once thought and helps researchers better understand how trilobite heads are segmented.
Hair-thin wire to help simulate cosmic conditions

SEPTEMBER 12, 2024
Extreme conditions prevail inside stars and planets. The pressure reaches millions of bars, and it can be several million degrees hot. Sophisticated methods make it possible to create such states of matter in the laboratory -- albeit only for the blink of an eye and in a tiny volume. So far, this has required the world's most powerful lasers, and the opportunities for experiments are correspondingly rare.

Microbe dietary preferences influence the effectiveness of carbon sequestration in the deep ocean
Science Daily: Pharmacology News
SEPTEMBER 12, 2024
The movement of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the surface of the ocean, where it is in active contact with the atmosphere, to the deep ocean, where it can be sequestered away for decades, centuries, or longer, depends on a number of seemingly small processes. A key microscale process in the ocean is the dietary preferences of bacteria that feed on organic molecules called lipids.

Rapid loss of Antarctic ice after 2100 likely under current emissions
Science Daily: Pharmacology News
SEPTEMBER 12, 2024
A new study by more than 50 climate scientists worldwide provides the clearest projection that Antarctica's ice sheet will retreat rapidly after 2100 under current carbon emissions, with global sea levels rising by as much as 5.5 feet by 2200. The study combined 16 climate models and found that ice loss will gradually increase through this century until the ice sheet becomes highly unstable, possibly experiencing a near-total collapse by 2300.
