Mental health apps may help those waiting for care, study finds
2024-07-18
The recent surge in people seeking mental health care across the country has led to long wait times for first appointments with therapists and psychiatrists.
Now, a new study offers hope that while they wait to get care, patients could still get some relief by using evidence-based smartphone apps and wearable devices to track sleep and activity.
The study shows that depression and anxiety symptoms, and suicidality, all decreased measurably when patients were assigned to mobile applications that incorporated mindfulness practices, cognitive-behavioral therapy skills, or prompts that encouraged ...
Ginseng's full genome sequenced: unraveling the roots of a medicinal marvel
2024-07-18
A landmark study has successfully decoded the complete ginseng genome, unveiling the genetic mechanisms that govern saponin biosynthesis. This detailed genetic map illuminates the evolutionary and metabolic pathways of Panax ginseng, a staple in traditional medicine. This pivotal discovery promises to drive forward breeding initiatives and augment the plant's medicinal qualities, unlocking new possibilities for therapeutic applications.
Ginseng's role in traditional medicine is underscored by its complex genetic structure due to its allotetraploid nature. The study delves into this complexity, revealing key evolutionary insights into ...
Against the odds: The genetic secrets of a rare conifer's climate change defiance
2024-07-18
In a remarkable twist of evolutionary adaptation, the rare Tibetan cypress, Cupressus gigantea, has shown unexpected genetic resilience. Despite facing the brink of extinction due to climate change and habitat loss, the species has experienced a significant reduction in harmful genetic mutations. This discovery sheds new light on the complex interplay between genetic diversity and population decline, challenging conventional understandings of genetic load in endangered species.
Conifers, including Cupressus species, are ecologically and culturally significant, but many are threatened by climate change and human activities. ...
Hydroxyurea does not reduce ovarian reserve in female patients with SCD
2024-07-18
(WASHINGTON, July 18, 2024) – In female patients living with sickle cell disease (SCD), hydroxyurea had no effect on ovarian reserve, suggesting that fertility preservation measures prior to treatment may be unnecessary, according to a study published in Blood Advances.
SCD is the most common inherited red blood cell disorder in the United States, affecting an estimated 100,000 people. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), SCD affects one out of every 365 Black or African American births and one out ...
A “wrenaissance” for House Wrens; species and genus splits for Barn Owls and Plovers; and lumping of Redpolls included in 2024 Check-list changes

PEPITEM – a novel protective agent for inflammageing
2024-07-18
A naturally occurring peptide called PEPITEM could potentially rejuvenate the immune response in older individuals and protect against 'inflammageing', which is widely believed to be the root cause of many age-related diseases.
The study, published today in the journal npj Aging, raises the exciting possibility of a protective agent that could dampen age-related inflammation and restore normal immune function in older adults.
PEPITEM (Peptide Inhibitor of Trans-Endothelial Migration) was initially identified at the University ...
Small animals acquire genes from bacteria that can produce antibiotics
2024-07-18
WOODS HOLE, Mass. -- A group of small, freshwater animals protect themselves from infections using antibiotic recipes “stolen” from bacteria, according to new research by a team from the University of Oxford, the University of Stirling and the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL), Woods Hole.
The tiny creatures are called bdelloid rotifers, which means ‘crawling wheel-animals’. They have a head, mouth, gut, muscles and nerves like other animals, though they are smaller than a hair’s breadth.
When these rotifers are exposed to fungal infection, the study found, ...
