Value in Health, the official journal of ISPOR鈥擳he Professional Society for Health Economics and Outcomes Research, announced the publication of a special themed section of research papers that document challenges in rare disease evidence and economic evaluation and policy as well as ways in which the environment is evolving to address them.
Researchers from the National University of Singapore have developed a novel aerogel designed to enhance the efficiency of atmospheric water harvesting. This development offers a practical solution to the pressing issue of freshwater scarcity, particularly in arid regions. The advanced aerogel is capable of absorbing moisture from the air up to about 5.5 times its weight, maintaining its performance across a wide range of humidity levels, and effective even in conditions as low as 20 per cent relative humidity, making it suitable for diverse environments. Demonstrating the aerogel鈥檚 applicability, the research team has integrated it into a solar-driven, autonomous atmospheric water generator that efficiently collects and releases freshwater without requiring external energy sources.
A recent study introduced a novel in-plane inverse crack-tip element that aims to transform structural health monitoring (SHM) in structures with preexisting cracks. This innovative approach uses an inverse finite element method (iFEM) to provide accurate structural health assessment by monitoring mixed-mode stress intensity factors in real-time, enhancing safety, optimizing maintenance, and reducing costs.
As urbanization accelerates and environmental dynamics shift, the need for accurate and timely terrestrial monitoring has never been more urgent. A review has introduced a novel approach to remote sensing time series analysis, integrating multi-source data to enable near real-time monitoring. This innovative methodology promises to transform environmental conservation and urban planning by providing unprecedented insights into terrestrial changes and offering a more precise understanding of environmental dynamics.
University of Utah economists looked at test scores and school attendance for Chicago-area kids before and after a bug infestation wiped out the city's ash trees. Education outcomes for low-income students went down, highlighting how the impacts of ecosystem degradation are disproportionately felt by disadvantaged communities.
Researchers at the UNC School of Medicine have engineered a molecular technology that can turn off pain receptors.
Michigan State University researchers have developed a virtual reality curriculum to prepare health care professionals and students for the complexities of caring for patients with tracheostomies and laryngectomies.
A new study offers hope for people who are blind or have low vision (pBLV) through an innovative navigation system that was tested using virtual reality. The system, which combines vibrational and sound feedback, aims to help users navigate complex real-world environments more safely and effectively.The research from NYU Tandon School of Engineering, published in JMIR Rehabilitation and Assistive Technology, advances work from John-Ross Rizzo, Maurizio Porfiri and colleagues toward developing a first-of-its-kind wearable system to help pBLV navigate their surroundings independently.
The December issue of AJG highlights new clinical science and reviews, including outcomes among transgender adults with cirrhosis, risk factors for inadequate bowel preparation, and upadacitinib versus tofacitinib in ulcerative colitis. This month also includes articles on celiac disease, belching disorders, eosinophilic esophagitis, pancreatitis, and more.
Genetic testing, which has expanded in recent years with advances in technology and the development of consumer products, is on a path to widespread acceptance in the U.S., researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center found. The popularity of ancestry research and rising numbers of clinical referrals are helping drive that trend, according to the study published in Frontiers in Genetics.
