Standardizing provider assessments reveals important information about gun and opioid access for veterans at risk of suicide
2025-01-28
PHILADELPHIA—Standardizing an assessment process currently used by doctors during care discussions with veterans at risk for suicide in other context could shed more light on the risks related to firearms and opioids.
The findings from researchers at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania were reported today in JAMA Network Open. They found that fewer veterans reported having access to firearms than expected—either because some didn't mention it to their doctor, it wasn't ...
The environmental and economic impact of COVID-19 on Japan’s tourism industry
2025-01-28
Fukuoka, Japan—It goes without saying that the tourism industry in Japan is booming. Walk around any major city and you’ll see people from all around the world enjoying the country’s food, culture, and hospitality. Naturally, the revenue generated by the industry has had a positive economic impact throughout Japan. However, between 2020 and 2022, the tourism industry was hit particularly hard due to the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent travel restrictions. While the government implemented policies ...
Study reveals gaps in healthcare quality assessments across Israel, the US, and the UK
2025-01-28
A new study has taken a closer look at how healthcare quality is measured in three major countries—Israel, the United States, and the United Kingdom—uncovering striking similarities and critical gaps. The research delved into Israel’s Quality Indicators in Community Healthcare (QICH), the US’s Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS), and the UK’s Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF). While all three systems prioritize family medicine and process-focused metrics, the study highlights a lack of attention to structural and outcome-based ...
Mapping Antarctica’s hidden ice-free lands: a blueprint for conservation
2025-01-28
Antarctica, often regarded as the planet’s last true wilderness, harbours unique ecosystems that support extraordinary biodiversity and contribute to global diversity and environmental stability. These ecosystems, which occupy permanently ice-free land covering less than 0.5% of the continent, are now under growing threat from human activity and climate change.
Now, a team led by researchers at UNSW Sydney’s Centre for Ecosystem Science has developed a high-resolution map and hierarchical classification system of Antarctica’s ice-free lands, which can be seen in full in Scientific Data.
This new inventory categorizes Antarctica’s ecosystems ...
National and gender differences in exclusionary behavior
2025-01-28
When given the power to distribute resources, a person’s nationality, gender, and ideology can help predict how likely that person is to exclude others to maximize their own profit, according to a study. The results suggest that the identities and cultural backgrounds of decision-makers affect how equitably resources are divided.
Andrzej Baranski and Nicholas Haas placed study participants into groups of three to play a negotiation game. All interactions were via computer and no information about the other ...
The journal Genes & Development has new editorial leadership and an expanded scope
2025-01-28
Cold Spring Harbor, NY – Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press (CSHL Press) has announced the appointment of new editorial leadership at its renowned journal, Genes & Development. Professor Andrew Dillin has been named Editor-in-Chief, and Dr. Eric Sawey becomes Executive Editor.
These changes are associated with an intentional expansion of the journal’s scope into new and exciting aspects of life science research. While the journal remains committed to its traditional areas of coverage, it will also actively foster additional dynamic fields including physiology, metabolism, aging, gene and environmental interactions, and molecular neuroscience. Genes & ...
Pancreas cells secrete neuroprotective factor
2025-01-28
Pancreas cells may produce a protein that can protect the brain from Alzheimer's disease. In individuals with Alzheimer's disease, a peptide known as amyloid-β accumulates and forms tangled plaques. People with diabetes have a higher probability of developing Alzheimer's disease, raising the possibility of a link between the cells that are disordered in diabetes—pancreatic β cells—and the onset of Alzheimer's disease. However, insulin supplementation may not halt the development of Alzheimer's disease. Toru Hosoi and colleagues ...
Plant-based substitute for fossil fuels developed for plastic foams
2025-01-28
PULLMAN, Wash. — An environmentally-friendly preparation of plant material from pine could serve as a substitute for petroleum-based chemicals in polyurethane foams.
The innovation could lead to more environmentally friendly versions of foams used ubiquitously in products such as kitchen sponges, foam cushions, coatings, adhesives, packaging and insulation. The global market for polyurethane totaled more than $75 billion in 2022.
A Washington State University-led research team used an environmentally-friendly preparation of lignin as a substitute for 20% of the fossil fuel-based chemicals in the foam. The bio-based foam ...
Q&A: How rate of CO2 rise can affect a global ocean current
2025-01-28
As we burn fossil fuels, the amount of carbon dioxide in Earth’s atmosphere is gradually rising, and with it, the planet’s average temperature. How fast the level of atmospheric carbon dioxide — and with it, the temperature — goes up matters for the ability of humans and ecosystems to adjust. A slower increase gives humans time to move away from low-lying coasts and animals time to move to new habitats.
It turns out the rate of that increase matters for non-living systems, too. A recent University of Washington study looked at how a major current in the Atlantic Ocean that includes the Gulf Stream will respond ...
The oral microbiome and dementia
2025-01-28
The microbial ecosystems within our mouths may affect our cognitive function as we age, according to a study. Interventions such as prebiotics, including dietary nitrate, have potential for delaying cognitive decline.
About 15% of older adults have mild cognitive impairment, which is the largest risk factor for the development of dementia or Alzheimer’s disease. There is a known association between periodontitis—gum disease—and worsened cognitive function. Researchers have identified two possible links between the mouth and the mind: pathogenic ...
