You know how water can go from having lots of oxygen to none at all? This is called the aerobic-anoxic transition. During this switch, tiny pieces of dirt, called suspended sediment (SPS), can play a big role in how much nitrogen, specifically nitrate-nitrogen (NO3-N), stays in the water. NO3-N chan
You know how important it is for people with end-stage kidney disease to manage their health well, especially if they're on maintenance hemodialysis. But unfortunately, many patients aren't doing as good a job as they could be. Researchers wondered if showing these patients educational videos might
Imagine you're at the doctor's office, trying to figure out which medicine works best for a specific type of breast cancer. Palbociclib and ribociclib are both used to treat HR-positive, HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer, but which one is more effective? A study called OPAL (NCT03417115) tried
Did you know that light can influence your brain and mood? Scientists have found that shining infrared light on a specific part of the brain, called the hippocampus, can boost the growth of new brain cells. This part of the brain is linked to mood disorders, and growing new cells there can help redu
You may think of a lung tumor as just a bunch of cancer cells clumped together. But that's not the whole story. The tumor lives in a complex neighborhood, called the tumor microenvironment (TME). This lively area is filled with different cells and molecules that shape how the tumor grows and how it
Women going through postmenopause and suffering from early-stage breast cancer often rely on hormone therapy (HT) to delay cancer's return. But HT comes with side effects that can take a toll on their overall well-being. There's a way to make it better, though. A mix of exercise and health education
Biliary tract cancers are known for their high recurrence rates, even after successful surgery. This makes the future look quite grim for those diagnosed. One common approach to reduce this recurrence risk is to use adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) after surgery. ACT aims to target and destroy any tiny c
Clean energy is a big deal, and hydrogen is a superstar in this field. One cool way to generate hydrogen is by breaking down urea in water. This happens in a process called urea oxidation reaction (UOR). Scientists have created a special electro-catalyst to make this happen in salty water, similar t
Infantile epileptic spasms syndrome (IESS) can lead to serious brain development issues. But how does this affect kids' chances of going to elementary school? This study looked into that, focusing on kids who got adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) therapy. ACTH therapy is a common treatment for IES
Joe Rogan, today known for his podcast and UFC commentary, wasn’t always the confident figure we see now. Growing up, Joe faced constant moves and school struggles. At 15, he started fighting.
