The world of drug and biologic product regulation is undergoing a significant shift. Generative artificial intelligence (AI) is at the heart of this change. It is making it easier and faster to find important information. This is not just about speed. It is about making the process of regulation mor
Medical history is crucial for accurate diagnoses. Yet, it's often missing in CT scan orders for the abdomen or abdomen/pelvis. This gap can lead to incomplete radiology reports. So, a study looked into how often malignancy history is documented in these CT scan orders. It also checked if this histo
The tropical cockroach, Gromphadorhina coquereliana, has a unique ability to handle cold temperatures. This is quite surprising, as these creatures are ectothermic. This means they rely on their environment to regulate body temperature. This affects many aspects of their lives, from how they grow to
In Ethiopia, a harmful tradition persists that affects many young girls. Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), also known as female genital cutting or circumcision, is a practice that involves removing parts of a girl's genitalia.

Working with autistic individuals requires a unique set of skills and knowledge. This is especially true for those in sports and exercise fields. A recent project aimed to create a training package for these professionals. The project involved a co-design process, which means it included input from
Teenagers with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis face many challenges. These teens have a side-to-side curve in their spine. This condition can affect how they feel about themselves and how they interact with others. It can also impact their physical abilities. To understand these effects, researcher
The human body is a complex system. It is constantly rebuilding and breaking down tissues, including bones. This process is vital for maintaining overall health. But what happens when this process goes wrong? This is what scientists are trying to figure out. There are specific markers in the blo
Parkinson's disease (PD) and multiple system atrophy (MSA) are both neurodegenerative disorders that affect the brain and the body's nervous system. The skin, surprisingly, might hold clues about these conditions. Scientists have found evidence that these diseases can also impact the peripheral nerv
HFPO-DA, also known as Gen-X, is a replacement for PFOA. It is found in many places in the environment. It is important to study how it moves through soil and water. This is because it can affect human health. The study looked at how HFPO-DA and PFOA move through sand and limestone. It also looked a
In the realm of medical research, there's a lot of talk about a condition known as paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria. This is a rare blood disorder that can cause red blood cells to break down too quickly. This can lead to anemia, which is when the body doesn't have enough healthy red blood cells
