Get ready, Los Angeles! The Santa Ana winds are back, and they're bringing a big risk of wildfires. From Monday noon to Tuesday morning, Ventura and Los Angeles counties are under a red flag warning. This warning is serious—it's only issued once every four years, and it's happened five times in the
Imagine this: the flag of the United States, with its red and white stripes and white stars, waving proudly in the sky. This is what the nation will see on every Inauguration Day from now on. The President has made it official – the flag will be flown at full-staff on this special day. Why the chan
Think about doctors having a helping hand in the form of AI to quickly write patient notes. This is the job of AI scribes, who use a tool called large language models (LLMs) to generate medical notes from doctor-patient conversations. It's like having an ultra-smart assistant that can even suggest f

Scientists have found a way to spot tiny changes in DNA that can shape how genes work in Nelore cattle. They looked at muscle tissue from 80 male cows and used fancy tools to measure gene activity. By doing this, they could see how these tiny changes, called SNPs, affect how genes are put together.
Scientists decided to dig deeper into how flatfoot and bunions, also known as hallux valgus (HV), are related.

Have you ever wondered how the gut bugs we carry around might be talking to our bodies? Scientists found that tiny, nanoscale packets called bacterial extracellular vesicles (bEVs) can signal pain hypersensitivity. They studied mice with diet-induced obesity (DIO) and found these bEVs in their poop.
Heart failure, a significant health issue, is often linked to inflammation. And guess what? Your food choices can influence this inflammation. The dietary inflammatory score (DIS) is a tool that measures how much inflammation your diet causes. Researchers decided to find out if the DIS could predic
