Female artists are dominating the charts, but high-ranking women in music companies are stepping down. This year, top labels like Universal Music Group (UMG) and Warner Music Group (WMG) lost several female CEOs, including industry heavyweights like Michelle Jubelirer and Julie Greenwald. While the
Cancer is a scary thing, and it's the leading cause of death worldwide. Even though we've made great strides in treating it, people still look down on it in many places. Surprisingly, there isn't much research about how women in Nepal view cancer. This study wanted to find out if they had negative f
As winter approaches, it's time to think about how snow, rain, and clouds might mess with your internet. Satellite internet is usually the biggest troublemaker, with signals having to travel over 22, 000 miles. If there's rain or heavy cloud cover along the way, your internet could go kaput. Even ca
When it comes to treating unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (uHCC), a type of liver cancer, lenvatinib is often the go-to treatment. But how does it stack up against other options? Researchers used a clever method called inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) and network meta-analysis
In China, hepatitis B (Hep B) is a significant health concern, but surprisingly, not many people are getting treated. A big reason for this is that many folks don't fully understand what Hep B is, how it's treated, or how to find proper medical care. This understanding is what we call health literac
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. , known for his liberal views, is facing a tough road on Capitol Hill. His nomination as health and human services secretary has Democrats divided. While some agree with his views on corporate influence and food additives, others worry his anti-vaccine stance and controversial
Scientists recently found that DNA ligase 4 (Lig4) plays a crucial role in fixing broken DNA, even if it can't directly stick the pieces back together. They created mice with a mutation in Lig4, making it inactive. Surprisingly, these mice were born alive, but they weren't growing properly and had t
Imagine a tiny molecule called HSD52 that helps cancer cells dodge the effects of a common chemotherapy drug, temozolomide. This RNA molecule connects two proteins, NONO and SFPQ, to form a powerful team inside cells. Their mission? To help cancer cells repair damaged DNA faster, making them resista
You might be wondering why the NISAR mission isn't already up in space. Well, there's been a bit of a hiccup. Originally planned for launch this spring, NASA and its Indian counterpart decided to push it back. Why? The spacecraft's main radar antenna needed some TLC. Engineers found out that once it
Scientists have been trying to find the best way to make ZIF-8 membranes strong enough for industrial use. These membranes are really good at separating two important gases, C3H6 and C3H8. A recent study found that using supercritical ethane, scC2H6, to make these membranes might be the answer. Supe
