(Press-News.org) About The Study: In this study of 3,101 adult participants, the number of days per week taking 8,000 steps or more was associated with a lower risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in a curvilinear fashion. The findings suggest that for adults who face difficulties in exercising regularly, achieving the recommended daily steps only a couple days a week may have meaningful health benefits.

PCORI approves $123 million for research on postpartum care, hypertension management, antibiotic prescribing and a range of conditions
2023-03-28
WASHINGTON, DC – The Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) today announced funding awards totaling $123 million to support 15 new research studies. These studies aim to fill evidence gaps, enhance research methods, or improve health care decision making for a range of high-burden concerns among adults and children, including postpartum complications occurring in populations experiencing the greatest disparities in health outcomes.
In addition, PCORI awarded $4 million for two implementation projects intended to accelerate uptake of strategies shown in PCORI-funded studies, one to improve decision making about colorectal ...
Molecular mechanisms of disease pathophysiology: Journal of Pharmaceutical Analysis articles provide novel insights
2023-03-28
The burden of cardiovascular, metabolic, and neurological diseases (including ischemic heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and Parkinson’s disease) is particularly high, and these conditions affect millions around the world annually. In order to develop effective treatment strategies against these diseases, it is important to delineate the cellular and molecular pathways that contribute to their development. Three pre-clinical studies published in Volume 13 Issue 2 of Journal of Pharmaceutical Analysis have done just that.
The first study, published online on December 5, 2022, focused on myocardial infarction (MI), better known as a heart attack. Given that the ...
New study reveals clinical instability predicts psychiatric hospitalization
2023-03-28
NEW YORK — MARCH 28, 2023 – For patients with psychiatric conditions, illness severity and instability are key factors in predicting future risk of hospitalization, according to a new study by Holmusk, a leading behavioral health real-world evidence and data analytics company, that has been published in The Lancet Psychiatry. The study, which was enabled by Holmusk’s NeuroBlu Database, could prove useful across the behavioral health care and research ecosystem, from facilitating early intervention to supporting the development of more targeted treatments.
The research was conducted using Holmusk’s NeuroBlu Database, a real-world data source that contains ...
New method for fast, efficient and scalable cloud tomography
2023-03-28
How do clouds shape the planet’s future? Clouds are not just fluffy white shapes in the sky. They are vital for regulating the earth’s climate, as they influence the water cycle, atmospheric dynamics and energy balance. However, studying clouds is not easy. One way to do so is to use spaceborne imagers, but these imagers still face challenges of efficiency and scalability. To overcome these limitations, Ido Czerninski and Yoav Y. Schechner from the Viterbi Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Technion—Israel Institute of Technology, a partner of CloudCT, have developed an effective inverse rendering framework ...
How to protect the integrity of survey research: 12 recommendations
2023-03-28
Science requires data, and survey research is one important means of gathering it. Surveys provide a scientific way of acquiring information that is used to inform policy decisions, guide political campaigns, clarify the needs of stakeholders, enhance customer service, help society understand itself, and improve the quality of life in the United States.
In recent years, concerns have been raised about growing rates of refusal to participate in surveys, as well as about inaccurate forecasts in high-profile ...
Significant disparities in breast cancer care persist, but surgeons can drive change
2023-03-28
Key takeaways
Inequitable access to breast cancer care: Treatment options for breast cancer are increasing, but many groups still do not have equitable access to preventative services, such as screening mammograms, and new therapies or drugs.
Wide spectrum of disparities: Screening, genetic testing, reconstruction, and fertility preservation are four significant areas where disparities exist and where surgeons should maintain awareness.
Surgeons can drive change: Surgeons can raise the standard of care at their institutions by improving their understanding of these disparities and advocating for their patients.
CHICAGO: Surgeons can play a key role ...
SwRI creates innovative, efficient hydrogen compressor for FCEV refueling stations
2023-03-28
SAN ANTONIO — March 28, 2023 - A new hydrogen compressor developed at Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) can improve the efficiency and reliability of hydrogen compression used in the refueling of fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs). The SwRI-developed linear motor-driven reciprocating compressor (LMRC) is designed to compress hydrogen as a fuel source for FCEVs and other hydrogen-powered vehicles. Unlike most hydrogen compressors, SwRI’s LMRC is hermetically sealed and has a linear motor design that increases its ...
Europe PMC integrates ROR into its Grant Finder
2023-03-28
Europe PMC, one of the largest providers of high-performance search tools for life sciences literature, has announced that its Grant Finder now incorporates Research Organization Registry (ROR) IDs to help users find active and completed grants awarded by Europe PMC funders. As one of the operating organizations of ROR, Crossref is pleased to jointly announce this news.
Integrating ROR IDs into the Europe PMC Grant Finder means that organizational name variations are now aggregated under a single name, which allows people to search for different aliases and receive the same set of results. Europe PMC used the ROR API in conjunction with a manual screening step to match 82% of ...
Pulsed radiofrequency with steroid injection brings sciatica relief
2023-03-28
OAK BROOK, Ill. – Researchers found that a minimally invasive procedure combined with epidural steroid injection treatment led to superior pain reduction and disability improvement over one year in patients with sciatica. The results of the study were published in Radiology, a journal of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA). The combined treatment performed better than steroid injections alone.
Sciatica is pain that originates along the sciatic nerve, which extends from the back of the pelvis down the back of the thigh. The sciatic nerve is the largest nerve in the body. Treatments ...
Probe where the protons go to develop better fuel cells
2023-03-28
Fukuoka, Japan—Solid oxide fuel cells, or SOFC, are a type of electrochemical device that generates electricity using hydrogen as fuel, with the only 'waste' product being water. Naturally, as we strive to reduce our carbon output and mitigate the casualties of the climate crisis, both business and academia have taken major interest in the development of SOFCs.
In what can potentially accelerate the development of more efficient SOFCs, a research team led by Kyushu University has uncovered the chemical innerworkings of a perovskite-based ...
