Deep in the heart of the Amazon rainforest, remote cameras have snapped incredible photos of an isolated tribe known as the Massaco, whose territory spreads across Brazil. This tribe, numbering around 200 to 300 people, continues to thrive despite encroaching threats from mining and logging firms.
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a complex disease where remyelination—the body's attempt to repair damaged nerve fibers—varies greatly among individuals and even within the same person. Scientists in the Netherlands decided to use this natural diversity to find out what makes some people better at remyel
In the latest turn of events, Israeli forces have arrested the director of one of the last operating hospitals in northern Gaza. This comes after a series of overnight strikes in the region, which resulted in nine deaths, including children, according to Palestinian medical officials. Meanwhile, Isr
Imagine you need to pull a wisdom tooth, but it's trapped under the jawbone and near a nerve. You could take an X-ray to see where it is, or you could get a more detailed 3D image from a CT scan. Which one is better? Scientists decided to compare these two methods using clever computer programs. The
Did you know that capturing carbon dioxide (CO₂) from low concentrations in the air can help keep the Earth's temperature stable? This process, called carbon capture and storage (CCS), is crucial but tricky due to the slow movement of dilute CO₂. Scientists have found a clever way to tackle this pro
Hendon Hooker, the Detroit Lions' backup quarterback, isn't worried about Teddy Bridgewater joining the team. Currently, Hooker has been backing up starter Jared Goff for the season. He sees Bridgewater as a positive addition, someone who can not only share sporting wisdom but also offer insights be
Did you know that about 40% of people with HIV face brain problems called neurocognitive impairment (NCI)? This issue can mess up their daily lives, make it tough to stick to their HIV meds, and even shorten their lifespan. Many things can cause NCI in HIV patients, like taking the wrong meds, getti
Sexual violence isn't always a part of war, but when it happens, it leaves deep wounds on survivors and their communities. This review takes a fresh look at recent studies on conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV). It dives into new findings and suggests where future research should head. CRSV is
Medical errors, or MEs, are a big deal around the world. They happen when healthcare goes wrong and can be really dangerous for patients. In China, a recent survey checked out what causes these errors among doctors and nurses. First, let's get into the nitty-gritty. This survey was a special kind c
For years, researchers have been digging into the Iterated Prisoner's Dilemma, testing strategies from the famous Tit for Tat to advanced learning methods like neural networks. But, many studies use only a few strategies, making their findings questionable. In this work, scientists analyse 195 strat
