Adverse pregnancy outcomes and long-term risk of atrial fibrillation

JAMA Cardiology

2025-10-22

(Press-News.org) About The Study: In this large national cohort, all adverse pregnancy outcomes except small for gestational age were associated with increased risk for atrial fibrillation up to 46 years later. Women with adverse pregnancy outcomes need early preventive actions and long-term clinical follow-up for timely detection and treatment of cardiovascular disorders related to the development of atrial fibrillation.

Study: Dangerous E. coli strain blocks gut’s defense mechanism to spread infection

2025-10-22

When harmful bacteria that cause food poisoning, such as E. coli, invade through the digestive tract, gut cells usually fight back by pushing infected cells out of the body to stop the infection from spreading. In a new study published today in Nature, scientists from Genentech, a member of the Roche Group, in collaboration with researchers from Oregon Health & Science University, discovered that a dangerous strain of E. coli — known for causing bloody diarrhea — can block gut this defense, allowing ...

No benefit of ketamine for patients hospitalised with depression, clinical trial reports

2025-10-22

Findings from a randomised and blinded clinical trial investigating repeated ketamine infusions for treating depression have revealed no extra benefit for ketamine when added onto standard care for people admitted to hospital for depression. The paper is published in the journal JAMA Psychiatry today [Wednesday 22ndOctober 2025]. The KARMA-Dep (2) Trial involved researchers from St Patrick’s Mental Health Services, Trinity College Dublin, and Queens University Belfast, Ireland. It was led by Declan McLoughlin, Research Professor of Psychiatry at Trinity College Dublin and Consultant Psychiatrist at St Patrick’s Mental Health Services. Depression ...

Ants use a genetic 'bulldozer' to achieve a hyper-specific sense of smell

2025-10-22

Ants have evolved an acute sense of smell, which requires each sensory neuron to choose one scent receptor out of hundreds. In a new study published in Nature, researchers at New York University have discovered what ants use to solve this biological puzzle: a self-regulating system in which choosing one gene physically silences all its neighbors. A high-stakes sense of smell Ants communicate via pheromones to hunt, detect outsiders, and determine their role within a colony. Without precise control of olfactory receptors, ant society would unravel. When ants cannot smell, “they stop performing their duties, which leads to anarchy,” explained ...

Scientists pinpoint a key gene behind heart defects in Down syndrome

2025-10-22

SAN FRANCISCO—October 22, 2025—Nearly half of all babies born with Down syndrome face congenital heart defects, often involving serious malformations that require surgery in the first months of life. For decades, scientists have known that having an extra copy of chromosome 21—the genetic cause of Down syndrome—was responsible, but they couldn’t pin down which of its hundreds of genes were key for causing the heart problems. Now, scientists at Gladstone Institutes have an answer. In a study published in Nature, the researchers leveraged stem cell science and ...

A new post-processing route to improve tensile strength and ductility in 3d-printed alloys

2025-10-22

In International Journal of Extreme Manufacturing, researchers have developed a dual post-processing method to make 3D-printed metals much stronger and tougher, addressing one of the field's most persistent challenges. By combining deep cryogenic treatment and laser shock peening, researchers find a new way to transform the microscopic structure of 3D-printed metals, relieving internal stresses and enhancing their mechanical resilience. Their method offers a practical route to producing stronger and more damage-tolerant components for industrial-grade metal additive manufacturing in aerospace, automotive, energy, and defense sectors. The Hidden Problem in Metal ...

Small changes in alcohol intake linked to blood pressure shifts

2025-10-22

WASHINGTON (Oct. 22, 2025) — Light-to-moderate alcohol consumption is associated with increases in blood pressure (BP) and stopping drinking – even drinking less – may lead to clinically meaningful BP reductions, according to a study published today in JACC, the flagship journal of the American College of Cardiology. Findings show that slight changes in alcohol consumption can affect BP and can be a strategy for BP management and improvement. Alcohol consumption is a well-established contributor to elevated BP, a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). The 2025 ACC/AHA High Blood Pressure ...

Natural Japanese and Taiwanese hinoki cypresses genetically differentiated 1 million years ago

2025-10-22

Tsukuba, Japan—Hinoki cypress is a commercially vital species used as a high-quality building material, second only to sugi cedar in planted forest area and timber production in Japan. Natural hinoki cypress forests extend from Fukushima Prefecture in the north to Yakushima Island in the south. Taiwanese hinoki cypress is a variety and close relative of the Japanese hinoki, and its large-diameter timber was historically imported from Taiwan to Japan for constructing shrines and temples. By conducting a comprehensive population genetic analysis, this study aimed to elucidate genetic diversity, regional genetic structure, and evolutionary history across ...
