Ensuring the safety of medicines during pregnancy is really important, but it's tricky because pregnant women are often left out of clinical trials. This makes it hard to figure out how drugs might affect them. A recent study tried to solve this problem by using advanced AI and machine learning to p
These days, pharmaceutical companies are big fans of medicinal plants. Why? Because they are cheap and have fewer side effects than regular drugs.

Frontotemporal dementia, especially the behavioral variant (bvFTD), is known for its significant changes in personality and thinking skills. These changes often come with strong behavioral symptoms that can be tough for both patients and their caregivers. Surprisingly, unlike similar symptoms in pri
Machine tools, like any complex system, have a weak link—the joint surface. This surface plays a crucial role in determining the machine's overall stiffness and accuracy during machining. Understanding the distribution of contact stress here is vital but tricky. Scientists have now come up with a cl
In a quick and unexpected move, a small group of pro-Palestinian activists managed to halt the famous Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York. They jumped over the security barriers on West 55th Street and Sixth Avenue, sat on the ground, and started chanting “Free Palestine. ” This temporary blo
