Doctors have come a long way from the days of blurry x-rays. Back then, it was like trying to read a smudged book. Doctors had to guess what they were seeing. It was tough and not very accurate. Now, imagine a super camera that takes pictures from all angles and combines them into a 3D view. That's
Photon Avalanches (PAs) on the nanoscale are a big deal. They let us make high-energy photons without needing much power. This is all thanks to their unique optical properties. Scientists have been looking into nanoparticles that can do this. These are called photon-avalanching nanoparticles (ANPs)
Ever noticed how some kids sail through school while others find it tough? It turns out that how kids tackle certain thinking tasks might play a big role in their school success. Researchers wanted to know more about something called executive functions. These are like the brain's control center, he
Breast cancer is a global health challenge that scientists are tackling head-on. Instead of just using traditional methods, they are now exploring new ways to fight this disease. One promising approach involves using drugs that target specific proteins called CDK4 and CDK6. These drugs, known as CDK
Biliary tract cancer is a tough opponent. Chemotherapy has improved outcomes, but managing blocked bile ducts is a challenge. Two methods stand out for placing stents in these blocked ducts: side-by-side (SBS) and stent-in-stent (SIS). Let's talk about stents. They are tiny tubes that keep ducts
Biliary tract cancers (BTCs) are a group of cancers that are becoming more common and harder to treat. These cancers are tricky because they have different genetic makeups, making it hard to find the right treatment. Doctors have been looking into the genetic makeup of these cancers to find better w
Ticks are a huge problem for cattle farmers. They cause big losses and can even kill animals. One way to fight them is by using a special type of medicine called macrocyclic lactones (MLs). These medicines are important because they help control tick populations. But there's a catch: ticks can becom
Ferroptosis is the new buzzword in lung cancer research. Researchers are diving deep into this cell death process to see how it might help fight cancer. They are using a method called bibliometric analysis to track how research on ferroptosis has changed over time. This isn't just about looking at o
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) was created in 2011 to make sure that financial products and services were fair and clear for all Americans. It handled nearly 100, 000 complaints each month in 2024 from service members, veterans, and their families. These complaints included issues l
A$AP Rocky's trial for a firearm assault case reached its closing arguments on Thursday. The prosecution painted Rocky as the main antagonist in a street fight that allegedly ended with real gunshots on a Hollywood street corner three years ago. The defense argued that the prosecution failed to prov
