Patient-reported outcomes for low-risk ductal carcinoma in situ

2024-12-12

About The Study: In this prespecified secondary analysis of the Comparing an Operation to Monitoring, With or Without Endocrine Therapy (COMET) prospective randomized trial, the overall lived experience of women randomized to undergo active monitoring for low-risk ductal carcinoma in situ was similar to that of women randomized to guideline-concordant care during the 2 years following diagnosis.

Women born prematurely are at greater risk of committing suicide

2024-12-12

Not only are they the smallest among us, premature children also face health and life challenges that make them the most vulnerable. Generally speaking, they have a slightly higher risk of mortality due to illness. It is now apparent that they also have a higher risk of unexpected death from so-called external causes: road traffic accidents, substance abuse and suicide. This has been revealed in a major Nordic study led by Professor Kari Risnes from the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). The researchers have analyzed birth data and causes of death for nearly 37,000 individuals aged between 15 ...

Bovhyaluronidaze azoximer significantly reduces exercise intolerance in patients with long-term pulmonary sequelae of COVID-19

2024-12-12

Petrovax announced today the positive results from “Long-CoV-III-21,” a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of bovhyaluronidase azoximer in adult patients with pulmonary sequelae of COVID-19. Bovhyaluronidase azoximer, marketed under the brand name Longidaza, is a polymer-conjugated hyaluronidase with an extended half-life. The study drug and placebo were administered for 71 days, with an observation period extending to Day 180. Longidaza demonstrated a statistically significant 62% reduction in the proportion of patients with exertional desaturation ...

New insights into the evolution and paleoecology of mosasaurs: most comprehensive study to date

2024-12-12

Mosasaurs are extinct marine lizards, spectacular examples of which were first discovered in 1766 near Maastricht in the Netherlands, fueling the rise of the field of vertebrate palaeontology (the study of fossil remains of animals with backbones). Palaeontologist Michael Polcyn presented the most comprehensive study to date on the early evolution and ecology of these extinct marine reptiles. On 16 December, Polcyn will receive his PhD from Utrecht University for his research into the evolution of the mosasaurs. "Mosasaurs are a textbook example of macroevolution, ...

New insights into brain mechanisms underlying empathy

2024-12-12

Genova (Italy), 12th December 2024 – A specific brain mechanism modulates how animals respond empathetically to others’ emotions. This is the latest finding from the research unit Genetics of Cognition, led by Francesco Papaleo, Principal Investigator at the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT - Italian Institute of Technology) and affiliated with IRCCS Ospedale Policlinico San Martino in Genova. The study, recently published in Nature Neuroscience, provides new insights into psychiatric ...

Semiconductor device technology recognized by the "Olympics of Semiconductors"

2024-12-12

The Korea Institute of Materials Science (KIMS) announced that Dr. Yong-Hun Kim from the Energy & Environment Materials Research Division and Dr. Kyung Song from the Material Characterization Center, in collaboration with Professor Hyun-Sang Hwang's team from POSTECH, have successfully developed a groundbreaking heterojunction technology. This technology integrates tungsten disulfide (WS₂), a two-dimensional (2D) material, with hafnium zirconium oxide (HZO), a ferroelectric material, achieving both interfacial stability and superior crystallinity. The results have been accepted by the International Electron Devices Meeting 2024 (IEDM 2024), ...

What brings richness to sparkling wines?

2024-12-12

“Rich” and “full-bodied” are terms that people often use to describe the taste of wine. They are also the properties that kokumi compounds bring to foods like mature Gouda cheese, though scientists haven’t widely explored them in wines. In ACS’ Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, researchers now connect the dots and report 11 probable kokumi compounds in sparkling wines. Kokumi is often confused with the better-known term umami. Umami is a savory, meaty flavor and is one of the basic five tastes, along with sweet, ...

Towards room-temperature superconductivity: Insights into optical properties of bi-based copper-oxide superconductors

2024-12-12

Superconductors are materials which conduct electricity without any resistance when cooled down below a critical temperature. These materials have transformative applications in various fields, including electric motors, generators, high-speed maglev trains, and magnetic resonance imaging. Among these materials, CuO2 superconductors like Bi2212 stand out due to their high critical temperatures that surpass the Bardeen–Cooper–Schrieffer limit, a theoretical maximum temperature limit for superconductivity. However, ...

World’s smallest molecular machine: reversible sliding motion in ammonium-linked ferrocene

2024-12-12

Artificial molecular machines, nanoscale machines consisting of a few molecules, offer the potential to transform fields involving catalysts, molecular electronics, medicines, and quantum materials. These machines operate by converting external stimuli, like electrical signals, into mechanical motion at the molecular level. Ferrocene, a special drum-shaped molecule composed of an iron (Fe) atom sandwiched between two five-membered carbon rings, is a promising foundational molecule for molecular machinery. Its discovery earned the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1973, and it has since ...

Researchers reveal key factors behind Japan’s plastic waste removal rates in rivers

2024-12-12

Plastic pollution is an ever-growing problem in today’s world, as most societies have become overly dependent on plastics for packaging, medical supplies, and general goods. Plastic litter accumulation in the ocean, either through deliberate dumping or by being transported from a river, poses significant environmental challenges. Additionally, this plastic eventually degrades into small fragments called microplastics, which then impact diverse marine and land ecosystems by working their way up the food chain and into most living organisms. Though their negative effects on cell health are still under study, many nations have taken a cautionary stance, ...
