Research shows that the bond between a patient and therapist can shape how well therapy works. But does this connection matter for people in the justice system? A review looked at studies to find out. They searched big databases for articles on therapy with people who had committed crimes. They pick
Research shows people with tattoos often face more challenges when it comes to healthcare. A study looked at adults in Utah from 2020 to 2022 to see if there’s a link between tattoos and overall health. The findings suggest that those with tattoos might have fewer doctor visits and are more likely t
Researchers have begun using computer‑made pictures to study how people feel. These synthetic images are created by artificial intelligence that learns from real photos and then invents new ones. The advantage is clear: scientists can control every detail of a picture, such as lighting or facial exp
Research funding for some of the nation's leading universities has hit unexpected roadblocks recently. Schools like Harvard, Duke, Princeton, and Yale reported that grant applications which had already cleared internal reviews received extra layers of examination without clear reasoning. The Nationa
Researchers from four universities built a test called AllFaith to see how big AI programs talk about religion. They asked 14 different models—big names like Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic—to answer questions about grief, love, loss, or moral choices. The results were surprising: almost all of the AI
Research shows fathers play a bigger role in passing obesity down through families than many realize. It’s not just about bad eating habits. A father’s genes, his stress levels, and even how he interacts with his kids can tilt the scales for the next generation. Some studies suggest these effects st
Research shows that the oldest girl in a family often gets ready for adult tasks sooner than her younger siblings—especially when her mom faces tough times during pregnancy. Scientists followed families for 15 years and found that daughters born first to stressed mothers hit a phase called adrenal p
Research on how women with urinary incontinence pick and change absorbent products shows that many switch pads long before they are full. The study found that personal comfort, daily habits and social feelings shape these choices more than the product’s advertised capacity. Yet the work has some
Researchers have built a computer model that shows how light, heat and chemical reactions work together when treating cancer with a dye called indocyanine green (ICG). The model uses a fast Monte‑Carlo method on graphics cards to trace how 808‑nanometer laser light moves through a three‑dimension
Researchers are looking at tiny blood cells to learn more about a common mouth problem called recurrent aphthous stomatitis, or RAS. RAS shows up as painful sores inside the mouth that come and go over time. Two blood measures, the platelet‑to‑lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and mean platelet volume (MPV),
