| How more inclusive lab meetings lead to better science Posted: 27 May 2021 12:01 PM PDT A new article seeks to help scientists structure their lab-group meetings so that they are more inclusive, more productive and, ultimately, lead to better science. |
| Aging: Clinical trial on potential reversal of epigenetic age using a diet and lifestyle Posted: 27 May 2021 11:53 AM PDT A randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted among 43 healthy adult males between the ages of 50-72. The 8-week treatment program included diet, sleep, exercise and relaxation guidance, and supplemental probiotics and phytonutrients. |
| Microbial gene discovery could mean greater gut health Posted: 27 May 2021 11:52 AM PDT As the owner of a human body, you're carrying trillions of microbes with you everywhere you go. These microscopic organisms aren't just hitching a ride; many of them perform essential chemical reactions that regulate everything from our digestion to our immune system to our moods. |
| AGA recommends early use of biologics in patients with moderate-to-severe Crohn's disease Posted: 27 May 2021 08:25 AM PDT Crohn's disease, a type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that causes inflammation (pain and swelling) in the gastrointestinal tract, can cause daily health problems, frequent hospitalizations and surgery when not adequately controlled. While there is no cure for Crohn's disease, there are treatments that can help patients live a symptom-free life. |
| New microscopy method reaches deeper into the living brain Posted: 27 May 2021 08:25 AM PDT Researchers have developed a new technique that allows microscopic fluorescence imaging at four times the depth limit imposed by light diffusion. Fluorescence microscopy is often used to image molecular and cellular details of the brain in animal models of various diseases but, until now, has been limited to small volumes and highly invasive procedures due to intense light scattering by the skin and skull. |
| Artificial neurons recognize biosignals in real time Posted: 27 May 2021 08:25 AM PDT Researchers have developed a compact, energy-efficient device made from artificial neurons that is capable of decoding brainwaves. The chip uses data recorded from the brainwaves of epilepsy patients to identify which regions of the brain cause epileptic seizures. This opens up new perspectives for treatment. |
| Sometimes, even 3-year-olds just want to fit in with the group Posted: 27 May 2021 08:24 AM PDT What makes preschoolers eat their veggies? Raise their hand? Wait their turn? 'Because I say so' is a common refrain for many parents. But when it comes to getting kids to behave, recent research suggests that the voice of adult authority isn't the only thing that matters. Around age three, fitting in with the group starts to count big too. |
| Escape from oblivion: How the brain reboots after deep anesthesia Posted: 27 May 2021 08:24 AM PDT An innovative study uses the anesthetics propofol and isoflurane in humans to study the patterns of reemerging consciousness and cognitive function after anesthesia. |
| Obsessive compulsive disorder linked to increased ischemic stroke risk later in life Posted: 27 May 2021 06:14 AM PDT Adults with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) were more than three times as likely as those without the disorder to have an ischemic stroke later in life. Adults with OCD should maintain a healthy lifestyle, including not smoking, exercising, and managing a healthy weight, to help prevent stroke. Health care professionals should closely monitor patients with OCD for increased risk of ischemic stroke. |
| Myopia link to poor sleep, and screen time Posted: 24 May 2021 06:20 AM PDT New research from Australia indicates people with myopia are more likely to experience poorer sleep quality than people with normal vision. The study indicates that people with short-sightedness have more delayed circadian rhythms and lower production of melatonin, a hormone secreted in the brain and responsible for regulating sleep at night, compared to people with normal vision. |
