Brief cognitive behavioral therapy for suicide prevention – when delivered remotely via video telehealth – reduces suicide attempts and suicidal ideation. The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and College of Medicine led the study that is published online in the journal JAMA Network Open.
In the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, an interdisciplinary team explored possible regularities in vocal emotional expressions by comparing expressive interjections, such as “wow,” to nonlinguistic vocalizations, such as screams and cries, from across the globe. The researchers analyzed vowels in interjections from 131 languages, comparing them with nearly 500 vowels from vocalizations produced in joyful, painful, or disgusting contexts. Each of the three emotions yielded consistent and distinct vowel signatures across cultures in vocalizations.
The airflow from an indoor badminton court’s HVAC system and cross ventilation can affect the path of a birdie and have a significant role in play, but research published in Physics of Fluids proposes that different roof configurations could help mitigate wind drift. The authors recommend that important badminton games be played on courts with a barrel roof and a ventilation opening. The team modeled the airflow in a barrel roof stadium with different ventilation opening directions and tested this against a simulation of a flat roof to understand the roof effects.
Bryanna D. Vesely, DPM, MPH, performed the first minimally invasive Haglund's repair surgery on the Virginia Peninsula using the Arthrex MIS FiberTak Achilles SpeedBridge Implant Repair System. The surgery was performed Monday, November 11 at Mercy Bon Secours Mary Immaculate Hospital in Newport News, Virginia.
As student absenteeism reaches record highs in schools across the United States, new research finds that student absences are linked to lower teacher job satisfaction, raising concerns that this may exacerbate growing teacher shortages.
A recent study reveals the critical role of sorbitol in driving age-dependent growth shifts in apple plants. Researchers have uncovered how sorbitol interacts with gibberellin signaling to transition growth from a rapid juvenile phase to a slower adult pattern. This discovery provides essential insights into the mechanisms controlling plant maturation and development.
Marina Konopleva, M.D., Ph.D., director of the Leukemia Program and co-director of the Blood Cancer Institute at the National Cancer Institute-designated Montefiore Einstein Comprehensive Cancer Center (MECCC), has joined forces with Break Through Cancer, a collaborative medical research foundation that supports teams of scientists as they advance treatments for some of the world’s deadliest cancers. Dr. Konopleva will play a pivotal role in the Eradicating Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) in Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML) TeamLab.
The standard model for how galaxies formed in the early universe predicted that the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) would see dim signals from small, primitive galaxies. But data are not confirming the popular hypothesis that invisible dark matter helped the earliest stars and galaxies clump together.
Today, the Bronx Zoo announced that Idina Menzel, Tony Award-winner, actress, philanthropist and multi-platinum-selling singer/songwriter, will perform in the 98th Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade® on the zoo’s new “Wondrous World of Wildlife” float.
Avails Medical, Inc., a pioneer in rapid antibiotic susceptibility diagnostic innovations, is pleased to announce the appointment of Dan Douglas as the new Vice President of Finance. Dan joins Avails with a wealth of experience as a dynamic finance leader, bringing extensive expertise in corporate finance, operational strategy, and analytics, honed in fast-paced startup environments.
A new poll looks at how grandparents are involved in their grandchildren's lives, and how this relates to mental health and lonelines.
Over the past year, Children’s Hospital Los Angeles has been one of the highest-volume centers in the nation for Elevidys gene therapy. So far, CHLA has treated 10 boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy with this gene transfer therapy—among the most in the U.S.Leading these efforts at CHLA is Leigh Ramos-Platt, MD, Director of the Neuromuscular Disorders Center in the Neurological Institute at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, which includes one of the largest programs in California for Duchenne.
Linguistics and computer science researchers at Tufts University have discovered some of the root causes of the inability of AI to engage in human-like conversation
An international research team has for the first time designed realistic photonic time crystals –– exotic materials that exponentially amplify light. The breakthrough opens up exciting possibilities across fields such as communication, imaging and sensing by laying the foundations for faster and more compact lasers, sensors and other optical devices.
Disrupted sleep cycles are a well known concern for human health and function, and now researchers have found similar impacts on insects. A new study has found that artificial light disrupts the circadian rhythms of honey bees and poses a threat to their essential role as pollinators.
A newstudy has introduced a novel method for enhancing somatic embryogenesis (SE) in conifer trees, using small molecules to overcome traditional barriers in asexual propagation. This technique is pivotal for advancing forest production and genetic enhancement by addressing challenges in SE initiation and sustaining embryogenic potential.
A recent study in Ficus hispida genomics has unlocked the genetic mechanisms driving this fig tree’s unique reproductive system. The fully sequenced genome, a first of its kind for Ficus, reveals critical insights into how sex is determined in these plants—a factor crucial to their survival and ecological role. This research is a milestone for advancing the understanding of dioecy in plants and could open new doors for plant breeding and ecosystem management.
The Bionics Research Center team, led by Dr. Byung Chul Lee at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST), has developed a bio-ink inkjet print head using the piezoelectric material PMN-PZT.
A significant study has mapped the genetic complexity of Populus cathayana, an ecologically and economically valuable poplar species. By creating a detailed genome assembly and analyzing genetic variation across diverse wild populations, the research sheds light on the species' evolution and adaptation capabilities, particularly in high-altitude environments. This genetic insight is key for conservation strategies and developing resilient tree species for future forest sustainability.
