LSU study examines how restrained sitting limits early childhood movement22:01 Researchers at LSU's Pennington Biomedical Research Center, in collaboration with investigators from 32 countries participating in the SUNRISE International Study, have published new findings examining how restrained sitting contributes to daily movement patterns in early childhood. Rice and Baylor join BrainGate to develop brain-computer interfaces for people with paralysis19:54 When a person loses a limb, a prosthesis often can help restore a significant degree of mobility. But when movement or communication is impaired by a neurological condition such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), spinal cord injury or stroke, there are, as of yet, very few options for the affected individual. Mental health diagnostic interviews are less consistent than thought19:22 Diagnostic interviews are widely used by mental health professionals to identify conditions such as anxiety, bipolar disorder and depression in adults, but new research led by McMaster University shows that the long considered "gold standard" may not be as consistent as previously thought. Mount Sinai study links long COVID symptoms to autoimmunity19:22 A Mount Sinai-led research team has demonstrated that autoimmunity, where the body's immune system attacks its own tissues, is responsible for the often-debilitating and confounding symptoms of long COVID in a subset of people. Study uncovers a biological link between chronic oral inflammation and female fertility18:50 Chronic oral inflammation may impair female fertility by triggering a systemic immune response that affects the ovaries. Most users see AI programs for mental health as supplements to human therapy18:50 As more people turn to artificial intelligence chatbots for emotional and mental health support, a new study from Drexel University suggests that most users see these tools as supplements to - not substitutes for - human therapy. Scientists identify new therapeutic target for deadly prostate cancer18:50 Researchers at Columbia University Irving Medical Center have identified a gene that drives the development of neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC), an aggressive form of the disease. New nutrient-sensing mechanism offers hope for neurodegenerative diseases18:18 Researchers from the University of Cambridge highlight new ways that neurons and many cell types use to sense nutrients - opening potential novel therapeutic avenues for disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. Drug-filled nanofibers offer potential breakthrough treatment for brain cancer18:18 Researchers with the University of Cincinnati and Johns Hopkins Medicine developed a potential treatment for brain cancer that uses nanofibers embedded with a combination of drugs that work in concert to target tumors. AI model tracks child maturity patterns through routine ECG data17:15 A new study from Wake Forest University School of Medicine suggests a routine heart test – an electrocardiogram (ECG) – may offer researchers a new way to measure biological development in children and adolescents. |
