Pre-dialysis nephrology care disparities and incident vascular access among Hispanic individuals

2025-09-05

About The Study: This retrospective cohort study of incident hemodialysis patients found that system-based disparities in pre-dialysis access to nephrology care contribute to approximately one-third of incident vascular access disparities among Hispanic individuals. Targeted system-based remedies and policies are needed to improve timely identification and nephrology referrals among Hispanic individuals, for equitable improvements in incident kidney failure outcomes. Corresponding Author: To contact the corresponding author, Ashutosh M. Shukla, ...

Rutgers and RWJBarnabas Health study finds pocket ultrasound reduces hospital stays for patients with shortness of breath

2025-09-05

New Brunswick, NJ, September 5, 2025 -- When hospitalized patients struggle to breathe, doctors typically reach for their stethoscopes, but results from a Rutgers and RWJBarnabas Health clinical study in JAMA Network Open suggest they should diagnose the problem with portable ultrasounds instead. The study found initial exams with portable ultrasounds led to better diagnoses, shorter hospital stays and big cost savings. However, the findings revealed a need for additional training and workflow integration to help clinicians ...

Weill Cornell doctoral student selected for HHMI Fellows program

2025-09-05

Weill Cornell Graduate School of Medical Sciences doctoral student Ana Campos Codo has been selected for the 2025 cohort of the Gilliam Fellows Program by Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI). Codo, a student in the Immunology and Microbial Pathogenesis Ph.D. program, is one of 30 graduate students representing 23 different institutions across the United States who were chosen this year. The 21-year-old Gilliam Fellows program, which launches promising doctoral students into impactful scientific research careers while fostering inclusive training ...

Addition of progesterone leads to increased breast growth for those taking gender-affirming hormones

2025-09-05

The addition of the hormone progesterone to gender-affirming hormone therapy leads to increased breast growth for transgender people following feminising hormone therapy. This is demonstrated by an Amsterdam UMC-led trial among 90 participants and these results are presented today at the European Professional Association for Transgender Health (EPATH) annual congress in Hamburg. "Our results show that progesterone is safe and effective for transgender people. We're now able to prescribe it, in a trial setting, for those who have been taking oestradiol for at least year. We hope that ...

Developing a stable and high-performance W-CoMnP electrocatalyst by mitigating the Jahn-Teller effect through W doping strategy

2025-09-05

Recently, a research team led by Professor Ge Lei from China University of Petroleum (Beijing) developed a simple template-free method to prepare cobalt-based and manganese-based precursors, and then doped W during the synthesis of transition bimetallic phosphides to obtain the W-doped bimetallic phosphides. The resulting catalyst exhibits excellent bifunctionality and can can be utilized as an electrode in anion exchange membrane (AEM) water electrolyzers. The research results have been published in the Chinese Journal of Catalysis. W-CoMnP exhibits excellent oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) performance, with relatively low overpotentials ...

Manipulating the dispersion of terahertz plasmon polaritons in topological insulator meta-elements

2025-09-05

In the present era of modern nano-technologies, controlling light at the smallest scales is the key to faster communications, ultra-sensitive sensors, and revolutionary imaging systems. This is where Dirac plasmon polaritons (DPPs) come into play—exotic waves that blend light and electron motion in ultra-thin, two-dimensional materials. Unlike ordinary light waves, which are limited by the speed of light in free space, DPPs can squeeze light into spaces a hundred times smaller than its natural wavelength. This makes them incredibly ...

New Barkhausen noise measurement system unlocks key to efficient power electronics

2025-09-05

Soft magnetic materials can be easily magnetized and demagnetized, which makes them a key component in electrical power devices, such as generators, transformers, and amplifiers. As power electronics advance toward high-frequency operation, demand is growing for low-loss soft magnetic materials. The efficiency of these materials is fundamentally limited by iron loss, where energy is lost as heat when a varying magnetic field passes through them, as is typical in transformers and generators. Iron loss mainly consists of hysteresis loss, classical eddy current loss, and excess eddy current loss. Among these, excess eddy current loss becomes increasingly dominant ...

Novel accurate approach improves understanding of brain structure in children with ADHD

2025-09-05

Over five percent of children and adolescents are diagnosed with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) globally. This condition is characterized by a short attention span, hyperactivity or impulsive behavior that is age-inappropriate, making it difficult for patients to navigate interpersonal relationships, the formal education system, and social life. Researchers have used brain imaging analyses such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to understand the neurological basis of ADHD. Understanding brain structure abnormalities that lead to ADHD-related pathologies is crucial for designing early assessment and intervention systems, especially for children. Although ...

New clinical trial to test sensory prostheses for people with upper-limb loss

2025-09-05

CLEVELAND—Technology developed at Case Western Reserve University can restore a sense of touch that makes a prosthetic hand feel like a part of one’s own body instead of feeling artificial and disconnected. Now this technology will take a major step toward commercialization: in a new clinical trial, 12 people with upper limb amputation will be recruited to compare standard prosthetic arms and hands to the sensory-enabled neural-controlled prostheses developed at the university since 2015. Researchers at Case Western Reserve ...

New study shows proactive forest management reduces high severity wildfire by 88% and stabilizes carbon during extreme droughts

2025-09-05

Truckee, CA (5 September 2025) -- New research finds that treated forests are 88% less susceptible to high severity wildfire than their unmanaged counterparts, and can recover carbon stocks in only 7 years. The findings, carried out by researchers at Vibrant Planet, Northern Arizona University, American Forest Foundation, and Blue Forest, make the case for more proactive forest management across the US, and specifically, the increasingly wildfire-prone West. Read the publication in Frontiers in Forests and Global ...
