Financial toxicity, the financial distress linked to cancer treatment, significantly impacts patient outcomes. To combat this, the Atrium Health Levine Cancer Institute established a Financial Toxicity Tumor Board in 2019.
A recent study from the University of Georgia found a smartphone application designed to assess heat-related risks frequently reported temperatures that were lower than those recorded through direct on-site measurements.
Developed at SLAC’s synchrotron, SSRL, the method could help make those electrochemical conversions more robust and efficient and can be applied to studying a wide range of energy technologies.
Black and Hispanic children with high-risk neuroblastoma experience worse survival outcomes than their white peers, even when treated in frontline clinical trials, according to a study led by a UT Southwestern Medical Center researcher. Published in JAMA Network Open, the study is believed to be the first to comprehensively evaluate survival by race and ethnicity in a national cohort of children with high-risk neuroblastoma enrolled in clinical trials.
New modeling research challenges public health guidelines that recommend conservative antibiotic use for cholera. In some cases, prescribing antibiotics more broadly could slow or stop outbreaks and even reduce the risk of antibiotic resistance.
A new technology in the form of a bracelet that helps children better understand how others play and interact has been developed by University of Bristol researchers.
More than 100 experts in molecular simulation, coordinated by IRB Barcelona, have published an article in Nature Methods advocating for a paradigm shift in molecular dynamics data management.
The article defends the implementation of the FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) to improve the reproducibility of calculations and facilitate their later use as a source of information on the flexibility of biomacromolecules.
Led by Drs. Modesto Orozco and Adam Hospital, the article proposes the establishment of a shared infrastructure for storing and reusing data in the context of the AI revolution.
In the first-ever scientific exploration of its kind in Bhutan, a team of researchers and forest rangers led by NAU assistant research professor Jut Wynne is uncovering how large and small animals use caves, how many yet-to-be-discovered species insects and spiders live inside and how Bhutanese communities can preserve the caves’ delicate ecosystems for future generations.
Study finds that 25% of 7350 patients hospitalized between 2016 and 2021 for scooter-related injuries were using substances such as alcohol, opioids, marijuana and cocaine when injured. The findings underscore the urgent need to strengthen safety regulations, enforce helmet use, and reduce substance use among scooter riders.
For the first time, researchers can study the microstructures inside metals, ceramics and rocks with X-rays in a standard laboratory without needing to travel to a particle accelerator, according to a study led by University of Michigan engineers.
