Radiation is everywhere, but it's not the same everywhere. A study dug into how natural radiation, like gamma and alpha types, changes with weather and location. The goal? To tell the difference between natural shifts and human-made messes. Nine spots were watched for a whole year. Guess where gamm
Mosquitoes, especially the Aedes aegypti, are spreading fast. They carry diseases and love warm weather. Scientists in central India studied how heat affects these mosquitoes. They looked at how temperature changes their growth, survival, and even how they reproduce. The study focused on mosquitoes
Nursing students are stepping into a world where robots are becoming common in healthcare. This shift is especially noticeable in areas like obstetrics and gynecology. A recent study looked into how these students feel about robotic nurses. It also checked their fear of robots, negative attitudes, a
Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are a serious issue for many people with diabetes. These sores can lead to big problems if not taken care of properly. New tech is stepping in to help patients manage their condition better. Self-care is key when dealing with DFUs. It helps prevent infections and other c
In California, a farm worker faced a terrible accident during a recent immigration raid. The worker, who was not targeted by the authorities, climbed onto a greenhouse roof and fell about 30 feet.

In India, a study looked at a rare type of cancer called mediastinal germ cell tumors (GCTs). These tumors are not common and usually affect young men. The study focused on how these tumors are treated and how patients fare. The research involved patients from two big cancer hospitals. It checked h
Scientists have found a way to make amoxicillin more powerful by teaming it up with silver. This isn't just a simple mix. They've created two new forms: one where amoxicillin and silver are tightly bound together, and another where tiny silver particles are stabilized by amoxicillin. The goal? To ta
Strength training is all about understanding how different exercises work your muscles. A recent study dug into how two common exercises, the isometric squat and the isometric mid-thigh pull (IMTP), compare in terms of force and muscle activation. The study involved 15 people, mostly men, who were
Girls' bodies go through big changes as they grow up. These changes affect how they move and perform in sports. One important aspect is the stretch-shortening cycle (SSC). This is a process in muscles that helps with explosive movements like jumping and sprinting. Research shows that the SSC gets b
The US has been experiencing some serious cold snaps lately, even as winters warm up overall. Scientists have been digging into why this happens and found some interesting connections to the stratosphere, the layer of the atmosphere above where planes fly. Two key patterns have been identified. The
