Molecular hopscotch boosts light upconversion
2025-06-12
A new molecule that lets energy hop around quickly within its structure makes the upcycling of light more efficient and tunable. The Kobe University development lays out a design strategy for better solar power harnessing as well as medical and sensor applications.
While low-energy light is abundant and harmless, many technical applications from solar power generation to medical treatments rely on high-energy light. To increase the efficiency of light harvesting and to avoid high-energy light as much ...
Prolonged use of desogestrel pill linked to small increased brain tumour risk
2025-06-11
Taking the progestogen-only contraceptive pill desogestrel continuously for more than five years is associated with a small increased risk of developing a type of brain tumour called an intracranial meningioma, finds a study from France published by The BMJ today.
However, the researchers stress that the risk is low compared with some other progestogens (for every 67,000 women taking desogestrel, one might need surgery for meningioma) and disappeared one year after stopping treatment.
Intracranial meningiomas are typically non-cancerous brain tumours that occasionally require surgery. ...
Doctors raise concern over rise in recreational ketamine use
2025-06-11
The rise in non-prescribed ketamine use across the UK in recent years is a cause for concern, say doctors in The BMJ today.
Irene Guerrini at South London & Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust and colleagues warn that its low cost has made it popular among young people, and the number of people starting treatment for ketamine addiction in 2023-2024 reached 3609, more than eight times higher than in 2014-2015.
They say public awareness of the risks and long term harms associated with ketamine remains insufficient, and they call for better diagnostic criteria, a ...
New index ranks 917 European cities on urban design for health and well-being
2025-06-11
The Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal), a centre supported by the ’la Caixa’ Foundation, has unveiled a new tool: the Healthy Urban Design Index (HUDI). The HUDI is a composite index that evaluates 917 European cities based on 13 indicators connected  to peoples’ health and well-being and divided into four domains: urban design, sustainable transport, environmental quality and green space accessibility. The HUDI is the result of scientific work published in The Lancet Planetary Health. The data for all cities is publicly available on https://isglobalranking.org/hudi/.
In order to make the cities comparable, they have been grouped into five ...
Exposure to pollution during pregnancy linked with changes in fetal brain structures
2025-06-11
Fetuses more exposed to certain air pollutants show changes in the size of specific brain structures, particularly during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy. This is the main finding of a new study led by the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal), a center supported by the ”la Caixa” Foundation, in collaboration with the BCNatal center (Hospital Sant Joan de Déu, Hospital Clínic, and University of Barcelona) and the Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau. It is the first study to specifically ...
New way of measuring blood pressure could be a lifeline for thousands of people
2025-06-11
A new method improving the accuracy of interpreting blood pressure measurements taken at the ankle could be crucial for people who cannot have their arm blood pressure measured.
New research from the University of Exeter Medical School, published in BMJ Open and funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR), analysed data from over 33,000 people to create a personalised predictive model for more accurately estimating arm blood pressure from ankle readings - when compared to previously available methods. The team has developed an online calculator for healthcare professionals and patients to interpret ...
Famous Ice Age ‘puppies’ likely wolf cubs and not dogs, study shows
2025-06-11
New analysis of the remains of two ‘puppies’ dating back more than 14,000 years ago has shown that they are most likely wolves, and not related to domestic dogs, as previously suggested.
The genetic analysis also proved that the cubs were sisters at the age of around two months, and like modern day wolves had a mixed diet of meat and plants. Researchers, however, were surprised to see evidence of a wooly rhinoceros as part of their last meals, as this would have been a considerably large animal for a wolf to hunt.
The ‘Tumat Puppies’ are two remarkably well-preserved puppy remains found in northern Siberia, about 40 km from Tumat, the nearest village. One was found ...
Leg amputation caused by arterial disease four times higher in disadvantaged areas

Leg amputation caused by arterial disease four times higher in disadvantaged areas
	
	A new study from the University of Sheffield highlights the scale of socioeconomic disparities in leg amputation caused by arterial disease across England
	
	
	Lower limb amputation rates are four times as high in the most socioeconomically disadvantaged areas in England compared with the least disadvantaged areas
	
	
	Peripheral arterial disease is a debilitating condition which is caused by a build-up of fatty deposits in the arteries to the legs which restricts blood supply
	
	
	Findings show patients living ...
Researchers solve ultrasound imaging problem using seismology technique
2025-06-11
Scientists from Colorado State University and the University of São Paulo have overcome a challenge that has prevented medical ultrasound imaging from being used in intensive care and emergency room settings. This technological advancement could someday lead to improved critical care for patients. 
Obtaining accurate medical images using ultrasound computed tomography (USCT) is challenging due to the uncertainty of sensor positioning, which changes with patient movement. The interdisciplinary team, including a mathematician, an engineer ...
Among new dads, 64% take less than two weeks of leave after baby is born
2025-06-11
Only 36% of dads reported taking more than two weeks of paternal family leave
	Findings support U.S. lagging ‘behind the rest of the world in availability of paid family leave’
	‘If there was paid family leave, fathers would have fewer barriers, and they’d take it’
CHICAGO --- When it comes to family leave, American fathers are left behind.
In a survey of new fathers led by scientists at Northwestern University and Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago, 64% of fathers reported taking less than two weeks of leave or no leave after the birth of their child. Only 36% of ...
