Understanding the impact of transferring patients with dementia between hospitals
2023-11-28
INDIANAPOLIS – It is common for individuals seeking medical care for symptoms of concern to go to the nearest hospital. Physicians there may determine the facility cannot provide the care they believe the patient needs and recommend transfer to another hospital offering a higher level of care or specialized services.
In a recent study, researchers from Regenstrief Institute and Indiana University School of Medicine reviewed electronic health records to compare older adults with dementia transferred to another hospital with older adults who did not have dementia. The researchers found significant differences in treatment following transfer.
Patients with dementia more ...
The secret life of an electromagnon
2023-11-28
Scientists have revealed how lattice vibrations and spins talk to each other in a hybrid excitation known as an electromagnon. To achieve this, they used a unique combination of experiments at the X-ray free electron laser SwissFEL. Understanding this fundamental process at the atomic level opens the door to ultrafast control of magnetism with light.
Within the atomic lattice of a solid, particles and their various properties cooperate in wave like motions known as collective excitations. When atoms in a lattice jiggle together, the collective excitation is known as a phonon. Similarly, when the atomic spins - the magnetisation of the atoms -move together, it’s ...
New method identifies bacteria more easily
2023-11-28
Far too many antibiotics are used around the world. As a result, bacteria are becoming resistant.
Curing bacterial diseases is becoming more difficult than before, because antibiotics are perhaps our foremost weapons in the fight against them.
An important step towards using fewer antibiotics is to find better methods for identifying pathogens, and here is the good news.
“We have developed a simple tool that can identify all of the genetic material in bacteria. This allows us to find out more quickly what kind of bacteria a sick person or animal is affected ...
Bidding adieu to sticky ice, but with a grain of salt
2023-11-28
As Americans gear up for winter, many will face one of their toughest foes: ice. From delaying flights to making roads slippery, ice accumulation on surfaces wreaks havoc in many ways.
But not all ice is created equal. In new research from the University of Illinois Chicago, scientists studied the stickiness of ice containing everyday contaminants such as salt, soap and alcohol. Most laboratory studies typically test ice made from pure water, but in nature, ice is seldom pure.
“Be it dirty sidewalks or the hull of ...
CHOP researchers define seizure burden, developmental outcomes for STXBP1-related disorders
2023-11-28
Philadelphia, November 28, 2023 – Researchers from Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) found that seizure patterns and response to treatment strategies were able to help clinical teams determine epilepsy and developmental trajectories for patients with STXBP1-related disorders, one of the most common genetic epilepsy disorders. The findings were published online by the journal Brain.
Disease-causing variants in the gene STXBP1 are implicated in one of the most common genetic epilepsies and neurodevelopmental disorders, which are sometimes accompanied by autism spectrum disorder, increased or decreased muscle tone, or movement disorders. ...
Researchers identify three genes associated with neurodevelopmental disorders
2023-11-28
An international study group led by researchers of Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) have identified how three novel genes cause neurodevelopmental disorders. Researchers now have a better sense of the genes’ roles in human brain development and function and their ability to serve as potential therapeutic targets in the future. The findings were recently published online by the Journal of Clinical Investigation.
Over the last couple of decades, researchers have identified more than 1500 genes in different signaling pathways associated ...
Miss America’s Scholarship Foundation joins Go Red for Women to champion women’s health and well-being at every age
2023-11-28
DALLAS, November 28, 2023 — Cardiovascular disease (CVD) claims more lives than all forms of cancer, yet many women, particularly younger women, remain unaware.[1] Through its Go Red for Women® movement, the American Heart Association, which is devoted to a world of healthier lives for all, is being supported by Miss America’s Scholarship Foundation to empower the next generation of women to take charge of their health and make a lasting impact on the health and well-being of communities nationwide.

Nanodiamonds block tumor metastasis in mice
2023-11-28
Nanodiamonds are 2-8 nm carbon nanoparticles, which can be easily functionalized with various chemical groups like carboxylic groups or drugs. Previous research has shown that actively dividing cells are more likely to absorb nanodiamonds and that epithelial cells treated with carboxylic nanodiamonds lose the ability to migrate across cell permeable cellulose membranes. Rajiv K. Saxena and colleagues explored whether nanodiamonds might block tumor metastasis, a process that requires cell migration to new areas. The authors treated B16F10 melanoma cells with carboxylic nanodiamonds in culture and tested their ability to migrate and ...
Toward a sustainable EV battery supply chain globally
2023-11-28
Decarbonization of the global economy will require the production of a large number of batteries for electric vehicles (EVs). However, these batteries require energy and an array of minerals to produce and are not without their own environmental impacts. Fanran Meng and colleagues trace the energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions in the global productions and supply chains of two common battery technologies as well as their future variants: nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) and lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP). Today, two-thirds of battery-related emissions occur in China (45%), Indonesia (13%), and Australia (9%), in part due to emissions-intensive electricity for ...
Mount Sinai creates research center focusing on opioids, emerging substances, and drug overdose
2023-11-28
The Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai announced today the launch of a new center for “Research on Emerging Substances, Poisoning, and Overdose, for New Discoveries,” to be known as the RESPOND Center. Its research findings could lead to major advances in this area of medicine, including better treatments for patients with drug overdoses in emergency departments across the United States.
“Each day, clinicians on the front lines bear witness to devastating impacts from the current epidemic ...
