About The Study: In this mixed-methods qualitative study of hospital patients discharged to rehabilitation centers, significant disparities in denials for admission were observed among survivors of violence, who were disproportionally Black or Hispanic. Stigmatizing language found in medical records suggested that bias within the referral process may have contributed to these disparities. These findings underscore the need for reformed clinical documentation practices and enhanced oversight of rehabilitation referral processes to promote equitable access to care.

About The Study: In the PREDIMED-Plus trial, an energy-reduced Mediterranean diet and physical activity lifestyle intervention mitigated weight loss– and age-related bone mineral density decline among older women with metabolic syndrome compared with conventional ad libitum Mediterranean diet recommendations. Weight-loss lifestyle interventions with longer follow-up are warranted in the future to confirm these results in relation to bone health.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Every day, millions of Americans make health care decisions without enough information to fully understand the trade-offs between approaches to care and make informed choices for themselves or their families. To help address these information gaps, the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) has announced funding for new patient-centered comparative clinical effectiveness research (CER) studies across a range of conditions. These studies will help provide patients and caregivers with the evidence needed to make more informed health and health care decisions and more effectively manage their health.

PULLMAN, Wash. – A new way to watch catalytic reactions happen at the molecular level in real time could lead to better fundamental understanding and planning of the important reactions used in countless manufacturing processes every day.
A team of researchers from Washington State University and the U.S. Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) used a new probing technique to look at the surface of iron as it was exposed to oxygen to find out what makes one catalyst work better than another. The work is reported in the journal, Angewandte Chemie. It could eventually help engineers tune reactions better and develop new catalysts ...

LOS ANGELES — Researchers at City of Hope®, one of the largest and most advanced cancer research and treatment organizations in the U.S. with its National Medical Center named top 5 in the nation for cancer by U.S. News & World Report, have identified a new molecular target for treating pancreatic cancer, reports a Gastroenterology study published today.
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the deadliest human cancers worldwide because it evades most treatments. With few therapeutic options, 90% of these patients don’t ...

When we picture sea turtles in the wild, it’s easy to envision them as armored warriors – their hard, resilient shells serving as near-impenetrable shields against oceanic threats like sharks. These sleek, streamlined shells aren’t just defensive – they’re engineered for speed, efficiency and survival. Designed to minimize drag, they allow sea turtles to glide effortlessly through the water, dive to astonishing depths, and handle the immense pressure shifts as they surface.
A sea turtle’s ...

The Korea Electrotechnology Research Institute (KERI) and the Korea Institute of Materials Science (KIMS) have jointly developed the 'spray drying technology-based high-performance dry electrode manufacturing technology' for the realization of high-capacity secondary batteries.
Secondary battery electrodes are made by mixing 'active materials' that store electrical energy, 'conductive additives' that help the flow of electricity, and 'binders' which act as a kind of adhesive. There are two methods for mixing these materials: the 'wet ...

Conventional food production and distribution systems degrade the environment due to several aspects, like overuse of fertilizers and high greenhouse gas emissions. This necessitates a shift towards low environmental impact, sustainable food systems like Community-Supported Agriculture (CSA). In CSA, consumers pay producers in advance for their harvest. In this way, farmers get financial stability, and consumers get a chance to engage in farming activities, which ultimately strengthens local food systems.
Despite its benefits, there are few studies on what makes consumers participate in CSA, particularly outside Western countries. Specifically, in Japan, where CSA ...

CANNABIDIOL THERAPY COULD REDUCE SYMPTOMS IN AUTISTIC CHILDREN AND TEENAGERS
Tuesday 8th April, 13:25 CEST - New research presented at the 2025 European Congress of Psychiatry reveals that the use of cannabidiol (CBD) cannabis extract can lead to meaningful benefits and improve the behaviour of children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). ASD affects approximately 1 in 100 children around the world and symptoms can include difficulty interpreting language, ...

Every galaxy is thought to form at the center of a dark matter halo – a region of gravitationally bound matter that extends far beyond the visible boundaries of a galaxy. Stars are formed when gravity within dark matter halos draws in gas, but astrophysicists don’t yet know whether star-free dark matter halos exist.
Now Ethan Nadler, a computational astrophysicist at UC San Diego, has calculated the mass below which halos fail to form stars. This work was done using analytic predictions from galaxy formation theory and cosmological simulations.
"Historically, our understanding of dark matter has been ...
