Exciton fission – one photon in, two electrons out

Exciton fission – one photon in, two electrons out
2023-05-05
”When pentacene is excited by light, the electrons in the material rapidly react,” explains Prof. Ralph Ernstorfer, a senior author of the study. “It was an open and very disputed question whether a photon excites two electrons directly or initially one electron, which subsequently shares its energy with another electron.” To unravel this mystery the researchers used time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, a cutting-edge technique to observe the dynamics of electrons on the femtosecond time scale, which is a billionth of a ...

Study: ChemoID platform-predicted treatments lead to longer survival for glioblastoma patients

Study: ChemoID platform-predicted treatments lead to longer survival for glioblastoma patients
2023-05-05
New multi-institutional phase 3 clinical trial data published May 2 in Cell Reports Medicine found that a cancer stem cell test can accurately decide more effective treatments and lead to increased survival for patients with glioblastoma, a deadly brain tumor. The University of Cincinnati’s Soma Sengupta, MD, PhD, a co-first author of the research and a University of Cincinnati Cancer Center physician-researcher, said the research focused on patients whose glioblastoma had returned after initial treatment.  The trial tested the effectiveness ...

Best path to fair living wage for global supply chain workers may take an indirect route new research suggests

2023-05-05
Toronto - Want to make a positive difference in the wage conditions of developing country factory workers churning out products for multinational firms? Paying them more seems an obvious first step. But research looking at the experience of clothing retailer H&M Group suggests a less direct approach — by intervening at the management practice level — can empower workers and significantly raise wages in sustainable ways, multiplying the impact of the company’s investment many times over. In 2013, following activist pressure for reform, H&M went to its suppliers and asked them to voluntarily implement ...

An online adaptive model for streaming anomaly detection based on human-machine cooperation

An online adaptive model for streaming anomaly detection based on human-machine cooperation
2023-05-05
Anomaly detectors are used to distinguish differences between normal and abnormal data, which are usually implemented by evaluating and ranking the anomaly scores of each instance. A static unsupervised streaming anomaly detector is difficult to dynamically adjust anomaly score calculation. To solve the problem, a research team led by Prof. Zhiwen Yu published their new research on 15 April 2023 in Frontiers of Computer Science co-published by Higher Education Press and Springer Nature. The team proposed a human-machine interactive streaming anomaly detection method, named ISPForest, which can ...

How PCOS can affect the health of future generations of men

How PCOS can affect the health of future generations of men
2023-05-05
Sons of women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) are three times more likely to develop obesity, according to a study published in Cell Reports Medicine. According to the researchers from Karolinska Institutet the findings highlight a previously unknown risk of passing PCOS-related health problems across generations through the male side of a family. PCOS is caused by the ovaries producing too much of the sex hormone testosterone. The disease affects around 15 per cent of women of childbearing age worldwide and is a condition that ...

Quitting smoking early linked with improved survival rates for people diagnosed with lung cancer

2023-05-05
Embargoed for release: Friday, May 5, 2023, 11:00 AM ET Key points: Among those diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer—the most common form of lung cancer—current smokers had 68% higher mortality and former smokers had 26% higher mortality compared to never smokers The longer a patient had gone without smoking pre-diagnosis, the more improved their odds of survival were The study is one of few to examine mortality not just among current and never smokers, but also among former smokers—enabling more robust findings about the impacts ...

Pre-diagnosis smoking cessation and overall survival among patients with non–small cell lung cancer

2023-05-05
About The Study: In this study of patients with non–small cell lung cancer, quitting smoking early was associated with lower mortality following a lung cancer diagnosis, and the association of smoking history with overall survival may have varied depending on clinical stage at diagnosis, potentially owing to the differing treatment regimens and efficacy associated with smoking exposure following diagnosis. Detailed smoking history collection should be incorporated into future epidemiological and clinical studies to improve lung cancer ...

Perceived cognitive deficits in patients with SARS-CoV-2 and their association with long COVID

2023-05-05
About The Study: The findings of this study of 766 patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection suggest that patient-reported perceived cognitive deficits in the first 4 weeks of SARS-CoV-2 infection are associated with post–COVID-19 condition (PCC; colloquially known as long COVID) symptoms and that there may be an affective component to PCC in some patients. The underlying reasons for PCC merit additional exploration.  Authors: Neil Wenger, M.D., M.P.H., of the University of California, Los Angeles, is the corresponding author.  To access the embargoed study: Visit our For The Media website at this link https://media.jamanetwork.com/  (doi:10.1001/jamanetworkopen.2023.11974) Editor’s ...

Adolescents, young adults with advanced heart disease show desire to take active role in medical care decisions

2023-05-05
Adolescents and young adults with advanced heart disease are at high risk of dying in the hospital, often require invasive treatment and experience significant symptoms that impact their quality of life. And while most of their parents prefer that decision making about their treatment and care options remain between parents and physicians, many young people want to be actively involved in medical decisions affecting them, a new study suggests. “As a pediatric psychologist, I have found that healthcare communication is one of the most critical – yet most underappreciated ...

UCLA researchers find possible link between self-perceived cognition deficits and symptomatic long COVID

2023-05-05
People who perceived that they had cognitive difficulties such as memory problems during COVID were more likely to have lingering physical manifestations of the disease than people who did not report cognitive issues, new UCLA research suggests. More than one in three people experiencing long COVID symptoms perceived such cognitive deficits, which have been found to be related to anxiety and depression. The findings indicate that psychological issues such as anxiety or depressive disorders may ...
