(Press-News.org) About The Study: This cross-sectional study found that the foods advertised during National Football League games, the most watched sporting events in the U.S., were frequently high in sodium, calorie, and fat content. Although the effectiveness of sports advertising and paid sponsorships on food consumption has been studied mostly among children and young adults, adults with prevalent conditions, such as heart failure, coronary artery disease, hypertension, diabetes and kidney failure, may also be vulnerable to deviations from suggested or prescribed dietary restrictions based on the frequency of exposure to advertising.

KTU researcher on energy revolution: sustainability is still a work in process
2025-01-30
The world is experiencing more frequent and intense heat waves, floods, hurricanes, and wildfires due to rising greenhouse gas emissions. The energy sector is one of the largest contributors to climate change, yet it also plays a crucial role in the strategies needed to mitigate and adapt to its effects, contributing to the achievement of ambitious climate goals.
In this global context, Lithuania is undergoing a significant energy transformation as it moves toward a more sustainable and independent future.
By aligning its energy ...
Urgent action needed to keep Europe polio-free, warn heads of ECDC and WHO Europe
2025-01-30
An unusually high amount of poliovirus detections in several European countries in recent months has underscored the importance of keeping Europe polio-free, according to an editorial by European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) Director Pamela Rendi Wagner and World Health Organization (WHO) Regional Director for Europe Hans Kluge, which was published on Eurosurveillance. ‘A future without polio remains our goal, but it is by no means a certainty’, warn Rendi-Wagner and Kluge.
‘Every country must remain vigilant to detect the presence of polioviruses through sensitive surveillance systems, prepared to act quickly if any circulation is detected, ...
A new therapeutic target for a lethal form of heart failure: ALPK2
2025-01-30
Tatsuya Yoshida, Mikito Takefuji, and Toyoaki Murohara in the Department of Cardiology, Nagoya University Graduate School of Medicine, identified an enzyme, alpha-kinase 2 (ALPK2) that is specifically expressed in the heart. They found that the enzyme may prevent a stiff heart through activating the gene TPM1 in heart muscle fibers. ALPK2 is a promising new therapeutic target for the treatment of heart failure, especially heart failure with preserved ejection function (HFpEF).
The number of heart failure patients is increasing worldwide. ...
Optimism can boost saving, especially for lower-income individuals
2025-01-30
WASHINGTON – Being optimistic about the future may help people save more money, and the effect appears strongest among those with lower incomes, according to research published by the American Psychological Association.
The study found that people who scored higher on measures of “dispositional optimism” -- the tendency to expect positive outcomes -- saved more money over time compared with their less optimistic peers.
The research was published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.
"We often think of optimism as rose-colored glasses ...
Findings may lead to blood test to predict risk of postpartum depression
2025-01-30
Women who go on to develop postpartum depression (PPD) may have characteristic levels of neuroactive steroids, molecules derived from the hormone progesterone, in their blood during the third trimester of pregnancy, according to a new study by researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine and the University of Virginia. These molecules influence the brain’s stress response and emotional regulation.
The findings, published XX in Neuropsychopharmacology, suggest that this may provide a way to identify women at risk of PPD before ...
New insights on radical trapping in 12-phosphatetraphene uncovered
2025-01-30
Muon spin rotation (µSR) spectroscopy is a powerful technique that helps to study the behavior of materials at the atomic level. It involves using muons—subatomic particles similar to protons but with a lighter mass. When introduced into a material, muons interact with local magnetic fields, providing unique insights into the material’s structure and dynamics, especially for highly reactive species such as radicals.
In a new study, a team of researchers led by Associate Professor Shigekazu Ito, from the School of Materials and Chemical Technology, Institute of Science Tokyo, Japan, ...

The department is the first of its kind at a U.S. medical school, underscoring Mount Sinai's leadership in integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into health care. Dr. Nadkarni will also serve as Director of the Hasso Plattner ...
A hearing aid for … your nose?
2025-01-30
Kaboom! The first time most of us hear the sound of an explosion is in the movies. Encountering the sound in the real world—even at a distance—has a profoundly different effect. Why? It’s all about context. How we react to sounds and other sensory stimuli depends on how they’re presented. We often don’t know how we’ll respond to something until we experience it. And the sensation is sometimes quite different from what we expected. So, the brain has to adjust quickly.
Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) Professor Florin Albeanu explains: “In ...
Borrowing nature’s blueprint: How scientists replicated bone marrow
2025-01-30
Hidden within our bones, marrow sustains life by producing billions of blood cells daily, from oxygen-carrying red cells to immune-boosting white cells. This vital function is often disrupted in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy or radiation, which can damage the marrow and lead to dangerously low white cell counts, leaving patients vulnerable to infection.
Now, researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Engineering and Applied Science (Penn Engineering), Perelman School of Medicine (PSOM) and the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) have developed a platform that emulates human marrow’s ...
