Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a preventable and treatable condition marked by breathlessness, chronic sputum production and cough, claiming three million lives globally each year 鈥攑articularly in low-resource countries 鈥 and is expected to increase due to aging populations and ongoing exposure to risks like tobacco smoke.
A research team led by Dr. Choi, Young-chan from the Clean Air Research Laboratory at the Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER) has successfully converted cashew nut shells, discarded during cashew nut food product manufacturing, into an eco-friendly biofuel.
A new Harvey L. Neiman Health Policy Institute study found non-physician practitioners鈥 (NPPs) share of imaging interpretation in office-based practices increased 117%, from 2.52% of Medicare imaging studies in 2013 to 5.47% in 2022. Interpretations by NPPs are performed by a small minority (5.55%) of NPPs with considerable variation by imaging modality and state.
A groundbreaking review article delves into the critical challenges facing electric vehicle (EV) battery technology, offering insights into current research trends and future advancements. The study examines the performance, safety, and environmental impact of various battery types, including lithium-ion and solid-state batteries. It also explores innovative management techniques and highlights the importance of developing cost-effective, sustainable, and safe battery solutions to support the growth of electric mobility.
Traditional police training lacks practical tools for handling mental health crises, leaving officers underprepared. New research provides a promising avenue for addressing this gap using VR training by immersing officers in realistic scenarios.
A new study has discovered that siderophores, molecules produced by certain bacteria, are instrumental in the microbiome's defense against Ralstonia solanacearum, a pathogen causing severe crop losses. The research indicates that siderophores significantly boost the inhibitory effects of Pseudomonas strains on the pathogen, particularly under iron-limited conditions, offering a new avenue for developing eco-friendly disease control strategies in agriculture.
Building on previous work, researchers in ACS Infectious Diseases have demonstrated a potential antibacterial treatment from a modified darobactin, a compound originally from a bacterium. The team reports proof-of-concept animal trials on infections caused by bacteria, including E. coli, that are known to develop drug resistance.
A new study unveils a breakthrough approach to detecting fatigue cracks in Orthotropic steel bridge decks (OSDs) using advanced robotics and deep learning. By automating the identification of internal cracks that are critical to bridge safety, this technology marks a significant leap forward in structural health monitoring.
The Uniformed Services University鈥檚 (USU) Consortium for Health and Military Performance (CHAMP) is creating a comprehensive holistic health approach program tailored for the U.S. Space Force.
Recycled pacemakers can function as well as new devices, a University of Michigan-led study suggests. These used and reconditioned devices have the potential to increase access to pacemaker therapy in low- and middle-income countries, where many patients cannot afford the treatment.
A recent study emphasizes the critical role of entrepreneurship education within universities as a catalyst for addressing urgent global challenges. By integrating the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into their curricula, higher education institutions are uniquely positioned to foster innovation and cultivate the skills necessary for students to become effective change agents. This research underscores the potential of university-wide entrepreneurial initiatives to drive societal progress in areas such as climate change mitigation, poverty reduction, and technological advancement.
