New Jersey Voters Are “True Blue” to Democrats, But Loyalty Fades and Uncertainty Rises in Absence of Partisanship Down Ballot

New Jersey registered voters are more likely to say they will vote for Democrats up and down the ballot between now and Election Day on Nov. 5, according to the latest Rutgers-Eagleton Poll. Democratic candidates have a double-digit lead over Republican candidates right now, with independents breaking for the former while partisans overwhelmingly support their respective sides.

Some Wildfire Suppressants Contain Heavy Metals and Could Contaminate the Environment

American Chemical Society (ACS)

Researchers reporting in ACS’ Environmental Science & Technology Letters explored whether wildfire suppressants could be a source of elevated metal levels sometimes found in waterways after wildfires are extinguished. Several products they investigated contained high levels of at least one metal.

Buried Alive: Carbon Dioxide Release From Magma Deep Beneath Ancient Volcanoes Was a Hidden Driver of Earth’s Past Climate

Rutgers University-New Brunswick

An international team of geoscientists led by a volcanologist at Rutgers University-New Brunswick has discovered that, contrary to present scientific understanding, ancient volcanoes continued to spew carbon dioxide into the atmosphere from deep within the Earth long past their period of eruptions.

Tattoos to Confront the Terror of Death

Bar-Ilan University

The October 7, 2023 Hamas attacks on Israel resulted in widespread trauma, impacting not only the direct victims but also the broader population. Many experienced posttraumatic symptoms. This collective trauma blurred the lines between witnesses and victims, leading to a shared experience of pain and grief across Israeli society. In the wake of these attacks, a notable phenomenon emerged: memorial tattoos reflecting personal narratives while also representing collective trauma experienced by the entire nation. A new study by researchers at Bar-Ilan University uses Terror Management Theory (TMT, Solomon et al., 1991) to explore the rise of memorial tattoos in Israel following the attacks, offers insights into how individuals cope with trauma and find meaning through tattoos, using TMT as a theoretical framework, and ultimately contributing to the understanding of psychological resilience in the face of terror.

Most Patients Can Continue Diabetes, Weight Loss GLP-1 Drugs Before Surgery, Those at Highest Risk for GI Problems Should Follow Liquid Diet Before Procedure

American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA)

Most patients should continue taking their glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists before elective surgery, suggests new clinical guidance released by the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA), American Gastroenterological Association, American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery, International Society of Perioperative Care of Patients with Obesity, and the Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons. Patients at the highest risk for significant gastrointestinal (GI) side effects should follow a liquid diet for 24 hours before the procedure or other measures, depending on the specific circumstances.
