JAMA Network Open

2024-09-24

(Press-News.org) About The Study: This randomized clinical trial of an in-home, voice-activated cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia program among breast cancer survivors found that the intervention improved insomnia symptoms. Future studies may explore how this program can be taken to scale and integrated into ambulatory care.

New cancer diagnoses did not rebound as expected following pandemic

2024-09-24

What: Cancer incidence trends in 2021 largely returned to what they were before the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a study by researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). However, there was little evidence of a rebound in incidence that would account for the decline in diagnoses in 2020, when screening and other medical care was disrupted. One exception was breast cancer, where the researchers did see an uptick in diagnoses of advanced-stage disease in 2021. The study appears Sept. 24, 2024, in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. A previous study showed that new cancer diagnoses fell abruptly ...

Abrupt intensification of northern wildfires due to future permafrost thawing

2024-09-24

A study, published in the journal Nature Communications by an international team of climate scientists and permafrost experts shows that, according to new climate computer model simulations, global warming will accelerate permafrost thawing and as a result lead to an abrupt intensification of wildfires in the Subarctic and Arctic regions of northern Canada and Siberia. Recent observational trends suggest that warm and unusually dry conditions have already intensified wildfires in the Arctic region. To understand ...

Review shows bird flu control strategies ‘not working’

2024-09-24

A review of sustained mammal-to-mammal bird flu transmission in diverse species, led by The Pirbright Institute, shows global control strategies are not working. Writing in Nature, researchers analysed whether outbreaks in European fur farms, South American marine mammals and United States dairy cattle raise questions about whether humans are next. Led by zoonotic influenza specialist Dr Thomas Peacock, the scientists evaluated how recent changes in the ecology and molecular evolution of H5N1 in wild and domestic birds increase opportunities for spillover ...

How a butterfly invasion minimizes genetic diversity

2024-09-24

Until a few years ago, the butterfly known as the southern small white could barely be found north of the Alps. That was before a Europe-wide invasion that brought a huge increase in the insect’s distribution – at the same time as a rapid decrease in genetic diversity within the species. It took a while for zoologist Daniel Berner to notice that a butterfly species that wasn’t local to his area had become established in his garden. Then, suddenly, he saw it everywhere: Pieris mannii – also known as the southern small ...

Another Franklin expedition crew member has been identified

2024-09-24

The skeletal remains of a senior officer of Sir John Franklin's 1845 Northwest Passage expedition have been identified by researchers from the University of Waterloo and Lakehead University using DNA and genealogical analyses. In April of 1848 James Fitzjames of HMS Erebus helped lead 105 survivors from their ice-trapped ships in an attempt to escape the Arctic. None would survive. Since the mid-19th century, remains of dozens of them have been found around King William Island, Nunavut. The identification was made possible by a DNA sample from a living descendant, which matched the ...

SrGa12O19: The first low-εr Ga-based microwave dielectric ceramic with anomalous positive τf

2024-09-24

As one of the key materials of modern microwave communication technology, microwave dielectric ceramics are widely used in many core components of microwave circuits. In recent years, with the rapid development of microwave communication technology marked by mobile communication, in order to meet the requirements of the development of mobile communication technology, including 5G/6G, new requirements have been put forward for the performance parameters of microwave dielectric ceramics: low dielectric constant to reduce signal delay, low dielectric loss or high quality factor, and near-zero ...

HiTIP-seq profiles epigenomic reprogramming of patient-derived diffuse midline glioma stem cells to epigenetic therapy

2024-09-24

Diffuse midline glioma (DMG) is a highly aggressive and fatal pediatric high-grade glioma that primarily affects critical regions of the central nervous system, such as the pons, thalamus, and spinal cord. Due to the high surgical risks and poor prognosis associated with DMG, treatment options for patients are extremely limited. Conventional treatments, including surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, have shown limited efficacy, particularly with radiochemotherapy, which only temporarily controls tumor progression ...

SNU researchers develop ‘Selective Metal Films Deposition Technique’ enabling fabrication of soft electronics with various form factors

2024-09-24

Seoul National University’s College of Engineering announced that a research team led by Prof. Yongtaek Hong from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, in collaboration with Prof. Byeongmoon Lee from the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology (DGIST), has developed a ‘printing-based selective metal film deposition technique’ that enables the facile and fast fabrication of high-performance soft electronic devices and circuits in various ...

Extinct volcanoes a ‘rich’ source of rare earth elements

2024-09-24

A mysterious type of iron-rich magma entombed within extinct volcanoes is likely abundant with rare earth elements and could offer a new way to source these in-demand metals, according to new research from The Australian National University (ANU) and the University of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Rare earth elements are found in smartphones, flat screen TVs, magnets, and even trains and missiles. They are also vital to the development of electric vehicles and renewable energy technologies such as wind turbines. Dr Michael Anenburg from ANU said the iron-rich magma that solidified to form some extinct volcanoes is up to ...

PSU English professor to lift curtain on one of world’s most powerful supercomputers

2024-09-24

Supercomputers are the largest and most powerful computers in the world and yet few people know what they do or why they should care. That’s why an English professor at Portland State is helping to demystify one of the world’s fastest and largest supercomputers with a grant from the National Science Foundation. Sarah Read, an associate professor and director of PSU’s Technical and Professional Writing program, is teaming up with Clemson University’s Jordan Frith to give the public a better understanding of Aurora, ...
