JAMA Network Open

2025-09-30

(Press-News.org) About The Study: The findings of this randomized clinical trial show that electroacupuncture significantly accelerated postprostatectomy urinary continence recovery and may serve as a safe adjunct to standard care. These findings support integrating electroacupuncture into multimodal rehabilitation protocols to reduce early urinary incontinence burden.

Exercise can help to restore the immune system of people with post-COVID syndrome

2025-09-30

Exercise can help to restore a more normal, well-regulated immune system in people with post-COVID syndrome, according to a gold-standard randomised-controlled trial presented at the European Respiratory Society Congress in Amsterdam, the Netherlands [1]. The study was presented by Dr Enya Daynes, from a team of researchers led by Professor Nicolette Bishop from Loughborough University, UK. Dr Daynes told the Congress: “Research suggests that those with post-COVID syndrome are at an increased risk of immune dysregulation where, instead of protecting the body, the ...

Radiologists probe aftermath of mass casualty terror attack

Advanced AI tool detects tiny brain lesions in children with epilepsy

2025-09-30

An advanced AI tool can detect tiny brain lesions that cause severe epilepsy in children, allowing faster diagnosis, more precise treatment and a potential cure, according to a new study. Developed by a team at Murdoch Children’s Research Institute (MCRI) and The Royal Children’s Hospital (RCH), the ‘AI epilepsy detective’ can find lesions (focal cortical dysplasias) the size of a blueberry, in up to 94 per cent of cases with the support of medical imaging. MCRI’s Dr Emma Macdonald-Laurs, a RCH neurologist, who led the team that created the detector, said more accurate diagnosis of cortical dysplasia ...

Study finds altering one area of the brain could rid alcohol withdrawal symptoms

2025-09-30

By targeting a specific area of the brain, researchers at Washington State University may now hold the key to curbing the debilitating symptoms of alcohol withdrawal that push many people back to drinking. The new study found the answer to helping people get through alcohol withdrawal may lie in a region of the brain known as the cerebellum. In mice experiencing withdrawal, scientists were able to ease the physical and emotional symptoms by altering brain function in this brain region using both genetic tools and a specialized compound. The findings, published in the journal Neuropharmacology, could help pave the way for targeted therapies that make recovery more manageable. “Our ...

Firstborn behavioral problems impact sibling relationships

2025-09-30

BEER-SHEVA, ISRAEL, September 30, 2025 – A new study from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) sheds light on how a firstborn child's behavior after the arrival of a sibling can predict the quality of their sibling relationship over time. The research, published in Social Development (https://doi.org/10.1111/sode.70008), highlights the crucial role of maternal reflective functioning in mitigating negative outcomes, particularly for children exhibiting internalizing behavioral problems. The study, co-authored by Prof. Naama Atzaba-Poria and Dr. Porat Yakov from BGU's Department ...

Study first to show if nesting heat affects sea turtle hatchling ‘IQ’

2025-09-30

As sand temperatures continue to rise, concerns about the future of sea turtles are growing. Hotter nests not only skew sex ratios – producing more females – but also reduce hatchling survival, slow growth, and increase the likelihood of physical deformities. Yet one important and often overlooked question remains: does this heat also affect cognitive ability – how well hatchlings can learn, adapt and respond to the rapidly changing world they face from the moment they emerge? A new study by researchers at Florida Atlantic University’s Charles E. Schmidt College of ...

ESA's Gaia telescope discovers our galaxy’s great wave

2025-09-30

Our Milky Way galaxy never sits still: it rotates and wobbles. And now, data from the European Space Agency’s Gaia space telescope reveal that our galaxy also has a giant wave rippling outwards from its centre. We’ve known for about a hundred years that the galaxy’s stars rotate around its centre, and Gaia has measured their speeds and motions. Since the 1950s, we've known that the Milky Way's disc is warped. Then in 2020 Gaia discovered that this disc wobbles over time, similarly to the motion of a spinning top. And now it has become clear that a great wave ...
