Alcohol-related hospitalizations from 2016 to 2022

JAMA Network Open

2025-12-23
(Press-News.org) About The Study: In this serial cross-sectional study of nationally representative administrative data from 2016 to 2022, the rate of alcohol-related hospitalizations was stable while mortality, length of stay, and health care costs all increased. Preventive efforts are needed to improve outcomes and reduce health care spending by reducing population-level alcohol consumption and engaging patients in alcohol use disorder treatment before progression to alcohol-related hospitalizations.

Semaglutide and hospitalizations in patients with obesity and established cardiovascular disease

2025-12-23
About The Study: In this prespecified exploratory analysis of the SELECT randomized clinical trial, the trial cohort had a high rate of hospital admissions. Treatment with once-weekly semaglutide was associated with significant reductions in hospital admissions and overall time spent in hospital, extending its benefits beyond cardiovascular risk reduction.

Researchers ‘listen in’ to embryo-mother interactions during implantation using a culture system replicating the womb lining

2025-12-23
Key points: A system which replicates the womb lining (endometrium) with high biological fidelity has been developed by researchers at the Babraham Institute and used to listen in to the communication that happens between the embryo and endometrium at the crucial stage of development when the embryo implants. Using donated endometrial tissue to seed the model, the approach provides the most advanced culture system for understanding how early-stage human embryos implant into the endometrium to establish ...

How changing your diet could help save the world

2025-12-23
For many of us, the holiday season can mean delightful overeating, followed by recriminatory New Year’s resolutions. But eating enough and no more should be on the menu for all of us, according to a recent UBC study. It found that 44 per cent of us would need to change our diets for the world to warm no more than 2 C. Dr. Juan Diego Martinez, who led the research as a doctoral student at UBC’s Institute for Resources, Environment and Sustainability, discusses the study’s findings and the simple dietary changes we can all make. What did you find? Half of us globally and at least 90 per cent of Canadians need to ...

How to make AI truly scalable and reliable for real-time traffic assignment?

2025-12-23
To answer this question: How to make AI truly scalable and reliable for real-time traffic assignment? A research team from KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Monash University, Technical University of Munich, Southeast University, and the University of Electro-Communications has developed a new framework—MARL-OD-DA—that offers a promising answer. The approach redesigns learning agents at the origin–destination (OD) level and utilizes Dirichlet-based continuous actions to achieve stable and high-quality solutions under dynamic travel demand.   The team published their ...

Beyond fragmented markets: A new framework for efficient and stable ride-pooling

2025-12-23
Ride-pooling is widely recognized as a sustainable way to ease congestion, reduce costs and cut emissions, yet adoption remains limited.  When operators act independently, efficiency is low because requests cannot be matched across platforms.  Aggregation platforms seek to improve this by forcing all operators into a permanent coalition, but differences in size, cost and market position make such arrangements unstable.  To address this, researchers from Beihang University and Delft University of Technology developed a multi-level coalition formation game framework that enables coalitions to form dynamically in response to trip requests, allowing flexible cooperation ...

Can shape priors make road perception more reliable for autonomous driving?

2025-12-23
Researchers at Tsinghua University developed PriorFusion, a unified framework that integrates semantic, geometric, and generative shape priors to significantly improve the accuracy and stability of road element perception in autonomous driving systems. The research addresses a long-standing challenge: existing end-to-end perception models often generate irregular shapes, fragmented boundaries, and incomplete road elements in complex urban scenarios.   The team published their study in Communications in Transportation Research on November 18, 2025.   “We design PriorFusion to introduce shape priors into every ...

AI tracks nearly 100 years of aging research, revealing key trends and gaps

2025-12-23
“This study outlines shifting priorities and translational gaps in aging research and offers a scalable, data-driven alternative to conventional reviews.” BUFFALO, NY — December 23, 2025 — A new research paper was published in Volume 17, Issue 11 of Aging-US on November 25, 2025, titled “A natural language processing–driven map of the aging research landscape.” In this study, Jose Perez-Maletzki from Universidad Europea de Valencia and Universitat de València, together with Jorge Sanz-Ros from Stanford University ...

Innovative techniques enable Italy’s first imaging of individual trapped atoms

2025-12-23
Researchers at the ArQuS Laboratory of the University of Trieste (Italy) and the National Institute of Optics of the Italian National Research Council (CNR-INO) have achieved the first imaging of individual trapped cold atoms in Italy, introducing techniques that push single-atom detection into new performance regimes. By combining intense, microsecond-scale fluorescence pulses with fast re-cooling, the team demonstrated record-speed, low-loss imaging of individual ytterbium atoms—capturing clear single-atom signals in just a ...

KIER successfully develops Korea-made “calibration thermoelectric module” for measuring thermoelectric device performance

2025-12-23
A “standard reference thermoelectric module (SRTEM)*” for objectively measuring thermoelectric module performance has been developed in Korea for the first time. A research team led by Dr. Sang Hyun Park at the Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER; President Yi, Chang-Keun) developed the world’s second standard reference thermoelectric module, following Japan, and improved its performance by more than 20% compared with existing modules, demonstrating the excellence of Korea’s homegrown technology. * SRTEM (Standard Reference Thermoelectric Module): A reference standard used to check the status ...

Diversifying US Midwest farming for stability and resilience

2025-12-23
Researchers find that diversifying crops and integrating livestock improves farm efficiencies and ecosystem services in the US Midwest. Mathieu Delandmeter, Bruno Basso, and colleagues used a validated crop simulation model to assess 18 management scenarios across 46 million hectares over three decades at high spatial resolution. The authors compared corn monoculture to diverse rotations with cover crops and integrated pasture-cattle systems, looking at each system's productivity, profitability, yield stability, ...
