Eating Fish But Not Omega-3 Supplements During Pregnancy Associated With Lower Likelihood Of Autism Diagnosis, NIH-Funded Study Finds
Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes NIH

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.

Pregnancy-related heart failure is under-detected; AI-enabled stethoscope helped doctors diagnose twice as many cases
Mayo Clinic

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.

Newswise: Anisotropic phonon dynamics in Dirac semimetal PtTe2 thin films enabled by helicity-dependent ultrafast light excitation

Anisotropic phonon dynamics in Dirac semimetal PtTe2 thin films enabled by helicity-dependent ultrafast light excitation
Chinese Academy of Sciences

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.
