The world of medical tech is always looking for better ways to handle conditions like epilepsy. One big hurdle is creating wearable devices that can keep an eye on brain activity for long periods. These devices need to be smart, efficient, and always ready to go. That's where brain-inspired spiking
The Mexican Institute for Social Security (IMSS) has been a key player in Mexico's health scene for 80 years. Its work in medical care, public health, and tracking diseases has shaped the country's health landscape. The IMSS has been on the frontlines of identifying disease-causing agents and tackli
Pompe disease is a genetic condition. It is caused by problems in the GAA gene. This leads to a lack of an enzyme called lysosomal acid α-glucosidase. This enzyme is crucial for breaking down glycogen in cells. Without it, glycogen builds up and causes harm. The number of people with Pompe disease
Eyewitness accounts are often pivotal in legal cases, influencing jurors and shaping verdicts. Yet, verifying the truthfulness of these accounts can be challenging, especially when the actual events are unknown. Researchers have explored a method to evaluate the reliability of eyewitness memory by c
The way people view knowledge and science can greatly influence their beliefs in climate change conspiracies. This is a big deal because these conspiracy beliefs can really mess with efforts to tackle climate change. So, let's dive in and see how our views on knowledge and science play a role in a
The COVID-19 pandemic hit New York City neighborhoods in very different ways. Some places had more cases than others. This made it hard to plan how to help everyone equally. Most forecasts didn't look at the small details of each neighborhood. But, a recent effort changed that. It used data from mob
Epilepsy is a big deal. It affects millions worldwide, and Australia is no exception. The World Health Organization has been pushing for more care centers, but there's a catch. No one has really looked at how big the problem will be in the future. This is where things get interesting. A group of re
In the heart of Bangladesh, the Mymensingh region is grappling with a familiar foe: dengue fever. This illness, spread by the Aedes mosquito, doesn't discriminate. It affects people of all ages, genders, and backgrounds. The Aedes aegypti mosquito is the main culprit, carrying and spreading the deng
Lactate is not just a waste product from sugar breakdown. It is a key player in cancer's strategy. It fuels cells, sends signals, and helps cancer cells talk to each other. This is a big shift from the old idea of lactate. It shows that lactate can move around and affect different cells, tissues, an
Cells have clever ways to handle stress. They use special proteins to manage changes inside and outside the cell. These proteins, known as lysine acetyltransferases (KATs) and deacetyltransferases (KDACs), play a big role in how cells react to stress. They do this by adding or removing tiny chemical
