A recent publication in JAMA Network Open helps to shed light on the quality of life and health outcomes among adults with congenital heart disease (CHD) through critical findings from the Congenital Heart Initiative (CHI) registry. Ochsner Health pediatric cardiologist and adult congenital heart specialist, Thomas Young, MD, is a contributing author for the publication.
Negative emotions may help explain the link between insomnia and dangerous drinking, according to a small study involving veterans with Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD). The findings provide new insight into why insomnia might be linked AUD. Insomnia symptoms are highly prevalent in people with substance use disorders (SUDs). Among veterans with AUD, for example, almost 2 in 3 experience insomnia.
Thin, stretchy skin — like that of a pig or human — lessens the underlying damage that occurs when it’s punctured. Pig skin even outperforms synthetic materials designed to mimic skin, a study led by the University of Illinois finds. Its qualities, in particular its ability to dissipate the energy of a puncturing object, greatly reduce the damage to deeper tissues.
Plastic pollution, particularly the presence of microplastics in living organisms, poses a growing threat to ecosystems and human health. This groundbreaking study introduces mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) as a cutting-edge method for detecting and quantifying microplastics in biological samples, offering critical insights into their distribution and potential impacts.
Researchers publishing in ACS’ Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry have created a prototype cultured pork using a new material: kafirin proteins isolated from red sorghum grain.
National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) presents preliminary data from a study demonstrating the usability of the Health Equity Report Card (HERC) tool during the American Public Health Association (APHA) Annual Meeting and Expo.
Researchers from Osaka University show that the improvements in signal strength during surface-enhanced fluorescence and Raman spectroscopy can extend even through a nanoscale protective layer. This research may lead to significant improvements in the sensitivity of biosensors and the development of novel point-of-care diagnostics.
A recent University of Georgia review suggests new temperature measuring technologies could make that process much simpler, amid growing agricultural challenges fueled by fluctuating climates.
