Ketamine, whether given as an IV, a nasal spray or sublingual, may harm a developing fetus, but a study shows clinics vary greatly in handling patients who could become pregnant during treatment.
Ashok Silwal, a doctoral candidate and graduate research assistant at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), a part of the University of Alabama System, has been chosen to receive a NASA Future Investigators in NASA Earth and Space Science and Technology (FINESST) scholarship to study stream interaction regions (SIRs) in the heliosphere.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced $125 million in funding for two Energy Innovation Hub teams to provide the scientific foundation needed to seed and accelerate next generation technologies beyond today’s generation of lithium (Li)-ion batteries.
In a study using human breast cancer cells, scientists say they have potentially identified immune system white blood cells that appear to be the closest neighbors of breast cancer cells that are likely to spread.
Study from the Michigan Child Health Equity Collaborative finds substantial errors across three health systems in racial and ethnic designations in their electronic medical records.
During September’s Healthy Aging Month, the American Society of Retina Specialists and its retina specialist members encourage older Americans to learn more about retinal disease and adopt healthy habits that bolster retina health.
Eating any amount of fish during pregnancy was associated with about a 20% lower likelihood of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) diagnosis, particularly in females, and a slight reduction in autism-related traits in offspring, according to a new study funded by the Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) Program at the National Institutes of Health.
A computer model developed by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers significantly enhances the ability of scientists to detect communication between cells, according to a new study published in Nature Methods.
University of Miami economists assess the factors that cause food prices to fluctuate, while noting that government policies to reduce food costs likely have little impact.
New research reveals that Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) conducted on proprietary blockchains are fundamentally much more likely to succeed in the long term, highlighting the significant impact of network effects on ICO performance.
The researchers used magneto-induced electric field (MIEF) technology to explore the structural and rheological properties of citrus pectin under different pH conditions. This technology is not only green and safe, but also easy to operate and low cost, suitable for industrial application.
A report released today by the Center for State Policy Analysis (cSPA) at Tufts University's Jonathan M. Tisch College of Civic Life helps voters understand the potential impact of Massachusetts Ballot Question 1, which would empower the state auditor to investigate the Massachusetts Legislature — but could also trigger a stand-off with lawmakers.
Heart failure during pregnancy is a dangerous and often under-detected condition because common symptoms – shortness of breath, extreme fatigue and trouble breathing while lying down – are easily mistaken for typical pregnancy discomforts. Late-breaking research presented at the European Society of Cardiology Congress on a Mayo Clinic study showed an artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled digital stethoscope helped doctors identify twice as many cases of heart failure compared to a control group that received usual obstetric care and screening. Full study findings are published in Nature Medicine.
Assistant Professor of Pharmaceutical Sciences Kuo-Ching (KC) Mei from Binghamton University, State University of New York and his team have won the $1.9M Maximizing Investigators’ Research Award (MIRA) for Early Stage Investigators (ESI) from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences to tackle gene therapy challenges.
Dirac semimetal PtTe2 holds great promise for next-generation low-power spintronics and optoelectronics devices. To achieve high performance in these devices, a deep study of phonon dynamics is crucial. Towards this goal, Chinese scientists, using all-optical ultrafast pump-probe and Raman scattering techniques, have discovered the generation mechanism of Eg-mode phonons driven by spin-polarized electrons and elucidated unusual dissipation process via electron-phonon scattering. This work paves the way for potential future breakthroughs in the field of spintronics and optoelectronics.
New research from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) uses cryo-electron microscopy to shed new light on the ubiquitin; could help predict the risk of blood clots in cancer patients; reveals why micronuclei burst, accelerating aggressive cancers; and surveys healthcare providers about the benefits and risks of commercial genetic testing.
Computer-generated hologram (CGH) is a unique solution for the highly accurate testing of large-aperture aspheric mirrors, and its accuracy calibration has become one of the long-standing difficulties in this filed. Scientist in China developed an accuracy verification methodology based on an equivalent element, which transfers the aspheric wavefront reference in a comparison test.
Electromagnetic waves with vortex-shape, namely vortex beams, are important in various fields. However, multi-mode OAM beams are rarely seen. To solve this, the researchers in China propose a metasurface design scheme that generates double-polarized vortex combs in the terahertz band, with flexible control of the mode numbers, positions, and intervals.
