Routine fecal occult blood screening and colorectal cancer mortality in Sweden

JAMA Network Open

2024-02-27
(Press-News.org) About The Study: This study of routine screening with fecal occult blood testing found a 14% decrease in colorectal cancer mortality associated with screening. The true association of screening with reduced mortality is expected to be higher due to some coexistence of testing in the control group and colorectal cancer deaths diagnosed more than two years after screening. 

Authors: Johannes Blom, M.D., Ph.D., of the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, is the corresponding author.

Au@Cu7S4 Yolk@Shell nanocrystals set new hydrogen production activity record under visible and near infrared irradiation

Au@Cu7S4 Yolk@Shell nanocrystals set new hydrogen production activity record under visible and near infrared irradiation
2024-02-27
The sunlight received by Earth is a mixed bag of wavelengths ranging from ultraviolet to visible to infrared. Each wavelength carries inherent energy that, if effectively harnessed, holds great potential to facilitate solar hydrogen production and diminish reliance on non-renewable energy sources. Nonetheless, existing solar hydrogen production technologies face limitations in absorbing light across this broad spectrum, particularly failing to harness the potential of NIR light energy that reaches Earth. Recent research has identified that both Au and Cu7S4 nanostructures exhibit a distinctive optical characteristic known as localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) (Fig.1). ...

Customizable carbon and its potential impact on green energy

Customizable carbon and its potential impact on green energy
2024-02-27
There’s a lot of research about moving away from carbon as an energy source, but what if instead the carbon that is being used is applied to its full capacity?   The importance of carbon as an energy source is not to be downplayed. Unfortunately, the reliance on these carbon-based materials has proven to be disastrous for the environment, especially in the quantities they are consumed on a global basis. Therefore, alternative means have to be researched. Superstructure carbons (SCC) are a possible way to use carbons in a more efficient and “green” way that can exceed the current performance and longevity ...

IVI to open Africa Regional Office in Rwanda

The International Vaccine Institute (IVI), an international organization with a mission to discover, develop, and deliver safe, effective, and affordable vaccines for global health, and the Ministry of Health of Rwanda announced today that IVI will open its Africa Regional Office in Kigali this year. The IVI Board of Trustees (BOT) confirmed Rwanda as the location for IVI’s Africa Regional Office at a meeting in February, following a detailed evaluation of proposals from five countries to host the regional office.   Dr. Jerome Kim, Director General of IVI, said: “We are ...

Imaging grain boundaries that impede lithium-ion migration in solid-state batteries

Imaging grain boundaries that impede lithium-ion migration in solid-state batteries
2024-02-27
1. A NIMS research team has developed a new technique to image grain boundaries obstructing lithium-ion migration in solid-state batteries—a promising type of next-generation battery. 2. Solid-state batteries—next-generation rechargeable batteries—are intended to be safer and have higher energy densities than conventional lithium-ion batteries by replacing liquid organic electrolytes with solid electrolytes. A major issue in current solid-state battery R&D is the obstruction of ...

Determine stroke risk at an early stage using tear fluid, mitochondria and AI-based data

Determine stroke risk at an early stage using tear fluid, mitochondria and AI-based data
2024-02-27
Every year, over 100 million people worldwide suffer a stroke. Ischemic strokes (cerebral infarction) are the most common, but they can also occur "silently" and therefore often go undetected. This can result in serious illnesses such as dementia, depression or even suicide. In order to determine the risk of stroke at an early stage, Prof. Dr. Olga Golubnitschaja, head of the research group for 3P (predictive, preventive and personalized) medicine at the University Hospital Bonn (UKB), together with the University of Bonn and other authors from 25 institutions from 11 countries, has developed a holistic approach to health ...

Researchers look at environmental impacts of AI tools

2024-02-27
OAK BROOK, Ill. – As artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly used in radiology, researchers caution that it’s essential to consider the environmental impact of AI tools, according to a focus article published today in Radiology, a journal of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA). Health care and medical imaging significantly contribute to the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions fueling global climate change. AI tools can improve both the practice of and sustainability in radiology through optimized imaging protocols resulting in shorter scan times, improved scheduling ...
