Nirsevimab against hospitalizations and emergency department visits for lower respiratory tract infection in infants

JAMA Pediatrics

2025-12-22
(Press-News.org) About The Study: In this meta-analysis, nirsevimab was associated with reduced lower respiratory tract infection-related hospitalizations and emergency department visits in infants and young children. These findings support nirsevimab’s potential to reduce respiratory-related morbidity in young children and health care utilization.

A new strategy for immune tolerance

2025-12-22
A research team at the Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI) and the Faculty of Medicine at Kanazawa University has developed a new class of engineered extracellular vesicles (EVs) capable of inducing antigen-specific regulatory T cells (Tregs), the immune cells that play a central role in suppressing excessive immune responses. The findings, now published in Drug Delivery, may pave the way for next-generation therapies for autoimmune and allergic diseases, where unwanted immune activation must ...

Super Mario Bros. help fight burnout: New study links classic games to boosted happiness

2025-12-22
(Toronto, December 22, 2025) A new study published by JMIR Serious Games reports that popular video games, such as the Super Mario Bros. and Yoshi games, may offer meaningful emotional benefits for young adults. The research, titled “Super Mario Bros. and Yoshi Games’ Affordance of Childlike Wonder and Reduced Burnout Risk in Young Adults: In-Depth Mixed Methods Cross-Sectional Study,” found that these lighthearted, familiar games can spark a sense of childlike wonder that boosts overall happiness, which in turn reduces burnout risk. The research team conducted in-depth interviews with university ...

Deepest gas hydrate cold seep ever discovered in the arctic: International research team unveils Freya Hydrate Mounds at 3,640 m depth.

2025-12-22
Deepest Gas Hydrate Cold Seep ever discovered in the Arctic: international research team unveils Freya Hydrate Mounds at 3,640 m Depth.   A multinational scientific team led by UiT has uncovered the deepest known gas hydrate cold seep on the planet.  The discovery was made during the Ocean Census Arctic Deep – EXTREME24 expedition and reveals a previously unknown ecosystem thriving at 3,640 metres on the Molloy Ridge in the Greenland Sea. The groundbreaking findings regarding the Freya Hydrate Mounds, which hold scientific significance and implications for Arctic ...

Integrating light and structure: Smarter mapping for fragile wetland ecosystems

2025-12-22
Accurate classification of wetland vegetation is essential for biodiversity conservation and carbon cycle monitoring. This study developed an adaptive ensemble learning (AEL-Stacking) framework that combines hyperspectral and light detection and ranging (LiDAR) data captured by UAVs to precisely identify vegetation species in karst wetlands. The approach achieved up to 92.77% accuracy—substantially outperforming traditional models—and revealed how spectral and structural features jointly improve ecosystem mapping and restoration strategies. Karst wetlands are globally significant ecosystems that regulate ...

ACA-SIM: A robust way to decode satellite signals over complex waters

2025-12-22
A new study introduces ACA-SIM (atmospheric correction based on satellite–in situ matchup data), a neural-network-based atmospheric correction algorithm that uses real satellite–Aerosol Robotic Network-Ocean Color (AERONET-OC) matchups to improve the accuracy of atmospheric correction over coastal waters. By learning from real-world satellite radiance and in-situ reflectance data, ACA-SIM significantly reduces errors and striping artifacts in ocean color products, outperforming existing models in turbid water and complex-aerosol conditions such as the Bohai Sea, North Africa dust ...

Probiotics can restore gut microbiome in breastfed infants

2025-12-22
Washington, D.C.—In recent years, scientists have learned that key beneficial infant gut bacteria Bifidobacterium infantis are disappearing from infants in high-resource areas such as the United States and Europe. Now, a new study published in the journal mSphere found that supplementing exclusively breastfed infants with a probiotic, B. infantis EVC001, between 2 and 4 months of age can successfully restore beneficial bacteria in their gut. “The REMEDI study shows that it’s not too late to restore a healthy gut microbiome in breastfed infants. B. infantis can successfully take hold even after the newborn period,” ...

AI could help predict nutrition risks in ICU patients, study finds

2025-12-22
New York, NY [December 22, 2025]—A new study by researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai suggests that artificial intelligence (AI) could help predict which critically ill patients on ventilators are at risk of underfeeding, potentially enabling clinicians to adjust nutrition early and improve patient care. Details of the study were published in the December 17 online issue of Nature Communications. The first week on a ventilator is especially important for providing proper nutrition, since patients’ needs often shift ...

Federal EITC has unexpected result, researchers say – it decreases domestic violence

2025-12-22
Fifty years since the federal earned income tax credit went into effect and a team of researchers from UConn and City University of New York have identified an unintended benefit of the antipoverty program – a significant reduction in rates of intimate partner violence among unmarried women. “There’s been enough literature to show that good things happen because of the earned income tax credit, but what was surprising to us is the relatively large effect it has on intimate partner violence,” says UConn’s David Simon, an associate professor of economics and study co-author. ...

Researchers identify gene that calms the mind and improves attention in mice

2025-12-22
Attention disorders such as ADHD involve a breakdown in our ability to separate signal from noise. The brain is constantly bombarded with information, and focus depends on its ability to filter out distractions and detect what matters. Stimulant medications improve attention by boosting activity in circuits known to govern attention, such as the prefrontal cortex. But a new study reveals a surprising alternative: reduce background activity as a way of turning down extraneous noise.  In a paper published in Nature Neuroscience, ...
