Prostate cancer, commonly known as PCa, is a major health concern worldwide. It’s the second most common cancer in men and causes a significant number of deaths each year. However, there’s a gap in research when it comes to understanding how men in Saudi Arabia, particularly in the Jazan region, thi
Have you ever felt like your hand was bigger than it really is? Scientists found that when people see a visual stimulus near their hidden hand and feel a touch at the same time, their brain tricks them into thinking their hand is larger. This is called visual-tactile ventriloquism aftereffect. The s
Ever wonder how some cells in your body can make you sick? Let’s talk about interleukin-17D (IL-17D). This tiny protein has been found in higher amounts in people with clogged arteries, known as atherosclerosis. Researchers decided to dig deeper into what IL-17D does in our bodies. They found that i
Imagine you're living in Ethiopia and dealing with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). This isn't just about staying alive; it's about living well. But how do patients in low-income countries like Ethiopia fare compared to those in wealthier nations? That's what researchers set out to find. They focuse
In Brazil, prostate cancer affects a large number of men each year, with around 71, 730 cases reported annually. The main treatment for advanced hormone-sensitive prostate cancer is androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). However, advanced drugs called androgen receptor pathway inhibitors (ARPIs) are no
The COVID-19 pandemic took a toll on public trust in scientists, but a recent survey shows a small increase. Last year, only 73% of Americans expressed confidence in scientists, but now that number has climbed to 76%. During the peak of the pandemic in 2020, the figure was much higher at 87%. The Pe
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a common procedure to remove the gallbladder. Normally, surgeons use electrocautery, but ultrasonic dissection might be a better option. Electrocautery uses heat to cut and cauterize tissues, while ultrasonic dissection uses vibrations. For planned surgeries, ultrason
Phil Spencer, the head of Microsoft Gaming, has spilled the beans on an upcoming Xbox handheld device. But don't get too excited, as it might take a few years before we see it on store shelves. In a chat with Bloomberg, Spencer hinted that the company is in the early stages of developing a handheld
You might be shocked to hear this, but China is not trailing as far behind the West in tech as some people may believe. Brad Smith, the president of Microsoft, has shared his insights after visiting the country. He was impressed by the rapid advancements China has made in technology. So, what's the
Ever wondered how to make titanium alloys stronger? One method is microstamping. Researchers have discovered that this process can enhance the surface strength of alloys, like TiAl6V4, by altering the material at an atomic level. But how does it work exactly? High-speed stamping with varying overla
