Patient care technology disruptions associated with the CrowdStrike outage

JAMA Network Open

2025-07-19

(Press-News.org) About The Study: This cross-sectional study of U.S. hospitals found that a widespread technology outage after a faulty cyber security software update on July 19, 2024, was associated with outages in patient-facing network services integral to care delivery. These findings suggest that internet measurement techniques may be useful for surveillance and study of critical digital health care infrastructure.

New jab protects babies from serious lung infection, study shows

2025-07-18

Vaccination of pregnant women has been linked to a drop in newborns being admitted to hospital with a serious lung infection, research suggests. Researchers found the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccine, introduced across the UK in late summer 2024, led to a 72 per cent reduction in babies hospitalised with the virus if mothers were vaccinated. The findings are the first to show the real-world effectiveness of the vaccine in pregnant women in the UK. Uptake of the jab among pregnant women could help to limit the number of sick babies each winter, reducing hospital pressures, experts say. RSV is a common virus that causes coughs and colds but can lead to ...

July Tip Sheet from Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center

2025-07-18

JULY 2025 TIP SHEET Blood Cancer Expanding Donor Pool for Stem Cell Transplant Patients Blood cancer patients who have struggled to find a donor match for transplantation now have more options, according to new research from Sylvester. The study, published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, showed that patients can achieve good outcomes with a partial match drawn from the national public donor registry when they are treated with the immune-suppressing drug cyclophosphamide. These findings should expand the donor pool for patients struggling to find a full match, said Antonio Jimenez Jimenez, M.D., physician-scientist and senior study author. Pap ...

Current application status and innovative development of surgical robot

2025-07-18

Each year, numerous patients worldwide require surgical interventions that could benefit from the precision and safety offered by surgical robots. The standard approach for complex surgeries often involves traditional open or laparoscopic techniques, which may result in significant patient trauma and longer recovery times. In a study published in the manuscript "Current Application Status and Innovative Development of Surgical Robot," a team of researchers explores a new approach to enhance surgical outcomes through the use of surgical ...

Counterfeited in China: New book assesses state of industry and its future

2025-07-18

Counterfeiting tops the list of organized crimes committed worldwide, raking in nearly half a trillion dollars in 2019. These illicit businesses impact consumers, workers, brand owners, state authorities, and the overall economy. For example, counterfeit luxury goods like handbags and watches are commonly sold to unsuspecting consumers and divert revenue from legitimate producers. Moreover, the proliferation of counterfeiting has fueled the advancement of other types of organized crimes, such as human trafficking, drug trafficking, and money laundering. In a new book, a Rutgers ...

Machine learning reveals historical seismic events in the Yellowstone caldera

2025-07-18

Yellowstone, a popular tourist destination and namesake of an equally popular TV show, was the first-ever national park in the United States. And bubbling beneath it – to this day – is one of Earth’s most seismically active networks of volcanic activity. In a new study, published July 18 in the high impact journal Science Advances, Western engineering professor Bing Li and his collaborators at Universidad Industrial de Santander (Industrial University of Santander) in Colombia and the United States Geological Survey used machine learning to re-examine historical earthquake data from the Yellowstone caldera over a 15-year period. The team was able to retroactively detect ...

First analyses of Myanmar earthquake conclude fault ruptured at supershear velocity

2025-07-18

The first studies of the 28 March 2025 magnitude 7.8 Myanmar earthquake suggest that the southern portion of its rupture occurred at supershear velocity, reaching speeds of 5 to 6 kilometers per second. In their paper published in The Seismic Record, seismologists Lingling Ye, Thorne Lay and Hiroo Kanamori share new details about the devastating earthquake, which caused widespread and severe damage in Myanmar and neighboring countries such as Thailand, with more than 5,000 confirmed casualties. The earthquake ruptured about ...

Curved fault slip captured on CCTV during Myanmar earthquake

2025-07-18

Dramatic CCTV video of fault slip during a recent large earthquake in Myanmar thrilled both scientists and casual observers when it was posted to YouTube. But it was on his fifth or sixth viewing, said geophysicist Jesse Kearse, that he spotted something even more exciting. When Kearse and his colleague Yoshihiro Kaneko at Kyoto University analyzed the video more carefully, they concluded that it had captured the first direct visual evidence of curved fault slip. Earthquake geologists often observe curved slickenlines, the scrape marks created ...

Collaboration rewarded for work to further deployment of batteries in emerging economies

2025-07-18

Technology developed at Swansea University has won funding to help deliver better battery systems to Sub-Saharan Africa. The StamiNa – Sustainable Transport and Affordable Mobility through Innovation in Na-ion technology project—led by Swansea University in partnership with Coventry University, Batri Ltd, Strathmore University (Kenya), AceOn Group, and Federal University of Technology Owerri (Nigeria)—is one of five collaborations to receive valuable investment from the Faraday Institution. The projects all seek to optimise and validate battery systems to maximise performance and improve efficiency and lifetime. In doing so, they will advance the technologies a ...

Heart-healthy habits also prevent cancer, Alzheimer’s, COPD, other diseases, Emory study finds

2025-07-18

A new study from Emory University reveals that maintaining optimal cardiovascular health can significantly improve overall physical and psychological well-being. Published today in the Journal of the American Heart Association, the study synthesizes findings from nearly 500 peer-reviewed studies. It confirms that the benefits of heart-healthy behaviors extend far beyond the heart, positively impacting brain function, vision, hearing, muscle strength, and even reducing the risk of chronic diseases such as cancer and dementia. “While we recently learned that heart-health and brain health ...

Scientists will use a $1M grant to build a support system addressing sea level rise and flooding in South Florida

2025-07-18

A team of University of Florida scientists has been awarded a $1 million grant from the National Science Foundation to tackle one of South Florida’s most urgent environmental threats: groundwater flooding and saltwater intrusion caused by sea level rise. During the three-year project, scientists on a multidisciplinary team at UF’s Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (UF/IFAS), will develop a decision-support system to help local leaders make science-based, cost-effective choices about land use, infrastructure, climate adaptation and flooding mitigation. “This ...
