(Press-News.org) About The Study: In this study of 5,218 adults with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, significant disparities persisted between current care and optimal care, surpassing any differences observed among demographic groups. These findings highlight the critical need for sustained efforts to bridge these gaps and achieve better outcomes for all patients, regardless of their racial and ethnic backgrounds.

Researchers caution diabetes patients’ use of fitness video games
2023-12-01
The authors of a new study are warning people with type-1 diabetes to use fitness video games with caution.
The study by Staffordshire University and Federal University of Vale do Sao Francisco has found that ‘exergames’ can change people’s perceptions of how fatigued they are – which is potentially harmful for those with the condition.
Dr Pooya Soltani, Senior Lecturer in Games Technology at Staffordshire University, explained: “Type-1 diabetes patients need to control their blood glucose regularly, both before and after exercise, to prevent complications. As part of this, it is important to regulate the intensity of exercise, ...
Flexible parental leave among immigrant mothers can promote integration
2023-12-01
Mothers who took parental leave part-time or for shorter periods were more likely to engage in income-generating activities or pursue education. A new study uncovers surprising patterns in parental leave usage among newly arrived migrant women in Sweden, specifically focusing on their integration into the labor market.
The findings, published in the Journal of European Social Policy, provide new insights into how parental leave is used and how it affects labor market participation among newly arrived mothers who arrived in Sweden with young children.
The analysis reveals a polarization in the use of parental leave, with a significant number of mothers refraining ...
When scholars meet their sponsors
2023-12-01
FRANKFURT. The principle that stands behind the Deutschlandstipendium is as simple as it is striking: every euro raised by universities each year is doubled by Germany’s Federal Ministry of Education and Research. Goethe University Frankfurt raised €990,000 this year, bringing the total funding available to Deutschlandstipendium scholars to €1,980,000. This means that 550 students – about one third of whom have a migrant background – can receive €300 per month for a maximum of two years. For ...
Three award-winning Goethe University personalities
2023-12-01
FRANKFURT. The three academics honored at Goethe University yesterday evening “conduct extraordinary scientific work, and, at the same time", in the words of University President Enrico Schleiff, "they let others share in the results of and profit from this science – in a manner that far exceeds the economic component of this term." In so doing, they stand for an essential feature of Goethe University, namely "that we do not keep the treasures of knowledge we have gathered to ourselves, but consciously share them: in the scientific world, ...
The world needs more empathy—here is how science can harness it
2023-12-01
In a world grappling with deep-seated division and social upheaval, empathy has become more critical than ever.
But science suggests when it comes to evoking empathy, our imagination is more powerful than we previously thought. A new study, led by McGill researchers, reveals how the different ways to experience empathy affect our willingness to help others.
“Empathy is the ability to understand the situation of another person and is vital for prosocial behaviours. However, we know that empathy ...
Prioritizing housing goals may positively impact quality of life and independent living for people with disabilities
2023-12-01
East Hanover, NJ – December 1, 2023 – Housing that fails to meet the needs of people with disabilities may have far-reaching consequences. Living situations that impede independence and community integration, for example, can adversely affect health and wellbeing over the long term. More than 70% of people with spinal cord injury use wheelchairs and other assistive technology, complicating their search for affordable, accessible housing. Despite the magnitude of this problem, little research has been conducted on residential mobility patterns among people with acquired disabilities, including spinal cord injury.
Data from the ...
AFAR announces $16 million from Hevolution Foundation to expand New Investigator Awards in Aging Biology and Geroscience Research

When deep learning meets active learning in the era of foundation models
2023-12-01
A Chinese research team wrote a review article on deep active learning, an increasingly popular method of combining active learning with deep learning for sample selection in the training of neural networks for artificial intelligence tasks. It was published Nov. 30 in Intelligent Computing, a Science Partner Journal.
Given that research on deep active learning techniques in the context of foundation models is limited, this review offers some insights into this topic. It surveys existing deep active learning approaches, applications and especially challenges "in the era of foundation ...
Satellite remote sensing model for wide-area prediction of transpiration rates in Japanese cypress plantations
2023-12-01
Tsukuba, Japan—Forests, known as nature's "green dams," play a crucial role in replenishing Earth's groundwater reserves. However, overcrowding in planted forests due to lack of maintenance activities, such as thinning practices, is a pressing concern in Japan. This overcrowding causes substantial water loss from these forests into the atmosphere through a combination of soil evaporation and tree transpiration (Et) known as evapotranspiration. In the rich forests of Japan, Et is a major factor in the depletion of water resources. Therefore, accurately measuring Et across wide areas is currently a critical task because ...
Prone positioning during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in patients with severe ARDS
2023-12-01
About The Study: Among 170 patients primarily with COVID-19–related severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) supported by venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO), prone positioning compared with supine positioning did not significantly reduce time to successful weaning of ECMO.
Authors: Matthieu Schmidt, M.D., of the Sorbonne Université in Paris, is the corresponding author.
