| New research shows survival rate improvement for extremely pre-term infants Posted: 01 Apr 2022 01:05 PM PDT A study conducted at 19 medical centers from 2013-2018 found that the survival rate of babies born at 22 weeks (30%) and 23 weeks (55.8%) had increased significantly compared to the same study conducted from 2008-2013, in which only 7% of babies born at 22 weeks and 32% born at 23 weeks survived. |
| The future of 5G+ infrastructure could be built tile by tile Posted: 01 Apr 2022 01:05 PM PDT 5G+ (5G/Beyond 5G) is the fastest-growing segment and the only significant opportunity for investment growth in the wireless network infrastructure market, according to the latest forecast. But currently 5G+ technologies rely on large antenna arrays that are typically bulky and come only in very limited sizes, making them difficult to transport and expensive to customize. Researchers have now developed a novel and flexible solution to address the problem. |
| CRISPR and HIV: New technique in human blood unveils potential paths toward cure Posted: 01 Apr 2022 01:05 PM PDT Gene editing used to discover human proteins hijacked by HIV to replicate in blood • By better understanding how the virus replicates, treatments could one day become cures • 'This new assay is the most faithful representation of what's happening in the body during HIV infection that we could easily study in the lab,' researcher says • Over half the genes identified in the study had never been looked at in the context of HIV infection |
| Drenching rains to pose greater threat to fire-damaged areas in West Posted: 01 Apr 2022 11:13 AM PDT The western US this century is facing a greatly heightened risk of heavy rains inundating areas recently scarred by wildfires, new research warns. Such events can cause significant destruction, including debris flows, mudslides, and flash floods, because the denuded landscape cannot easily contain the drenching moisture. |
| Combination of biomarkers can identify common cognitive disease Posted: 01 Apr 2022 09:22 AM PDT In recent years, subcortical small-vessel disease has become an increasingly common cognitive diagnosis. Researchers have now shown that it is possible to identify patients with the disease by combining two biomarkers that are measured in spinal fluid and blood, increasing the potential for both treatment and development of medication. |
| New cell type in human lung has regenerative properties Posted: 01 Apr 2022 09:22 AM PDT A new type of cell that resides deep within human lungs and may play a key role in human lung diseases has been discovered. |
| Drug use severity in adolescence affects substance use disorder risk in adulthood Posted: 01 Apr 2022 09:22 AM PDT People who reported multiple symptoms consistent with severe substance use disorder at age 18 exhibited two or more of these symptoms in adulthood, according to a new analysis of a nationwide survey in the United States. These individuals were also more likely, as adults, to use and misuse prescription medications, as well as self-treat with opioids, sedatives, or tranquillizers. |
| Half of older adults now die with a dementia diagnosis, up sharply Posted: 01 Apr 2022 09:21 AM PDT Nearly half of all older adults now die with a diagnosis of dementia listed on their medical record, up 36% from two decades ago, a new study shows. But that sharp rise may have more to do with better public awareness, more detailed medical records and Medicare billing practices than an actual rise in the condition, the researchers say. |
| Medicaid health plan community health workers have positive impact on care Posted: 01 Apr 2022 09:21 AM PDT Community health workers employed by Medicaid health plans can help low-income people who face barriers to care rely less on the emergency room, and more on outpatient care, a new study finds. The CHWs in the study worked with Medicaid participants to make a plan for their health and connect them with social and health care services in their local area. And that may lead to better use of funding, and potentially lower costs, for the Medicaid system over the long run, the researchers say. |
| Gene linked to hearing in humans also linked to touch in sea anemones Posted: 01 Apr 2022 09:21 AM PDT Investigators have discovered a developmental gene linked to touch in the tentacles of sea anemones as well as hearing in humans. The gene, called pou-iv (pronounced 'pow four'), is important for the development of auditory cells in the human inner ear. |
| Scientists can predict carbon transfer in the ocean based on deep-diving tiny organisms Posted: 31 Mar 2022 02:08 PM PDT Biologists find that the health and size of ocean bacteria that eat the carbon-carrying particles can affect the speed with which they sink toward the deep ocean. They then developed a predictive model for oceanic carbon transfer. |
