(Press-News.org) About The Study: In this cross-sectional study of micromobility vehicles, an increased number of injuries and hospitalizations was observed with electric vehicles compared with conventional vehicles from 2017 to 2022. These findings suggest the need for change in educational policies, infrastructure, and law to recenter on safety with the use of micromobility vehicles.

Pioneering technique transforms genetic disorder diagnoses
2024-07-23
Despite rapid advances in genetic testing in recent decades, more than half of people worldwide with suspected Mendelian genetic disorders do not have an accurate molecular diagnosis. Others endure more than six years of tests before a diagnosis is given. Now, KAUST researchers and scientists across Saudi Arabia have developed NanoRanger, an accurate and rapid method for genetically diagnosing such diseases in a few hours[1].
“Precise, efficient genomic diagnosis is urgently needed to improve patient outcomes and facilitate carrier ...
Electric scooter and bike accidents are soaring across the US

Electric Scooter and Bike Accidents Are Soaring Across the U.S.
National UCSF study finds some injuries and hospitalizations from popular micromobility vehicles have doubled.
In the crowded urban landscape, where small electric vehicles – primarily scooters and bicycles – have transformed short distance travel, UC San Francisco researchers are reporting a major national surge in accidents tied to “micromobility.”
E-bicycle injuries doubled every year from 2017 to 2022, while e-scooter injuries rose by 45 percent. Injured e-riders tended to be slightly older and wore helmets less often than conventional ...
Involvement of TAL1-microRNA axis in the progression of T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia
2024-07-23
T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is an aggressive form of leukemia that arises from the malignant transformation of T-cell progenitors. This disease is most commonly diagnosed in children, where it accounts for a significant portion of pediatric leukemia cases, but it also affects adults. The clinical presentation of T-ALL includes symptoms resulting from bone marrow failure, such as anemia, thrombocytopenia, and neutropenia, as well as symptoms due to extramedullary disease, including lymphadenopathy, splenomegaly, ...

(Toronto, July 23, 2024) JMIR Publications invites submissions to a new theme issue titled “First Look: Early Research, Viewpoints, and Experiences with Apple Vision Pro in Health Care Settings” in its new open access journal JMIR XR and Spatial Computing.
This theme issue aims to gather early research findings, diverse and critical viewpoints, and real-world experiences concerning the utilization of Apple Vision Pro in health care contexts. We invite contributions that explore the following topics:
Medical education ...
Decoding early Lyme disease
2024-07-23
Every year in the United States, an estimated 476,000 people are diagnosed and treated for Lyme disease. The estimate comes from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Lyme disease can be treated with antibiotics. The best health outcomes are most likely when diagnosis is made within the first weeks of infection. If left untreated, the effects of Lyme disease can linger for years and cause neurological problems, arthritis, and a host of other ailments. But because diagnosing ...
Non-coding RNAs affect breast cancer development through the notch signaling pathway
2024-07-23
Breast cancer (BC) remains one of the most challenging cancers to treat, primarily due to its heterogeneity and propensity for metastasis. The Notch signaling pathway is integral to various cellular processes and has been implicated in the development and progression of BC. NcRNAs, including microRNAs (miRNAs), long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), and circular RNAs (circRNAs), have emerged as pivotal regulators of gene expression, affecting cancer biology through their interactions with the Notch pathway.
Non-coding ...
Is a gamma-ray laser possible?
2024-07-23
Since the laser was invented in the 1960s, scientists have been working to increase lasers’ peak power and to design machines producing coherent light at progressively shorter wavelengths that can improve image resolution and enable probing of quantum nuclear states.
Progress has been made with regard to peak power, most notably with the invention of chirped pulse amplification by University of Rochester researchers in the 1980s, a breakthrough that garnered the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2018. However, developing ...
Dual action antibiotic could make bacterial resistance nearly impossible
2024-07-23
A new antibiotic that works by disrupting two different cellular targets would make it 100 million times more difficult for bacteria to evolve resistance, according to new research from the University of Illinois Chicago.
For a new paper in Nature Chemical Biology, researchers probed how a class of synthetic drugs called macrolones disrupt bacterial cell function to fight infectious diseases. Their experiments demonstrate that macrolones can work two different ways – either by interfering with protein production or corrupting DNA structure.
Because bacteria would need to implement ...
Salk Professor Janelle Ayres named Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator
2024-07-23
LA JOLLA (July 23, 2024)—Salk Professor Janelle Ayres has been selected as a 2024 Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) Investigator. The HHMI Investigators program awards established scientists with approximately $9 million in funding over seven years to pursue boundary-breaking research in their field. The honor recognizes her influential work in immunology and microbiology and its applications to the global crisis of antibiotic resistance.
Ayres is among 26 other 2024 selectees, who will join more than 250 standing Investigators—including Salk Professors ...
NLM extends commitment to LOINC with $5 million award
2024-07-23
INDIANAPOLIS -- The National Library of Medicine has awarded Regenstrief Institute a five-year, $5 million contract extension to ensure the continued maintenance, expansion and public distribution of LOINC®, a global standard for health terminology. The NLM issued its initial contract to support the creation and development of LOINC in 1999. With this extension, NLM's commitment to LOINC will reach 30 years by the time the award expires in 2029.
“The NLM’s continued support of LOINC demonstrates the value the standard delivers to patients, care providers, health ...
