[ Nurses in critical care units who perceive higher levels of teamwork with their colleagues are more likely to take breaks during their shifts, according to new research from The Center for Health Design published in American Journal of Critical Care. Source link

[ Research shows that a single drinking binge—roughly four drinks for women or five for men within about two hours—can disrupt the gastrointestinal tract in measurable ways. Even in healthy adults, such a rapid influx of alcohol can weaken the gut lining, making it less able to perform one of …

[ As many of us embark on an exercise or gym routine for the new year, research reveals that just 10 minutes of intense exercise could help fight cancer. Source link

[ Most of us have experienced it: a deadline approaches, the task is perfectly doable, yet instead of starting, we suddenly feel compelled to tidy a drawer or reorganize the apps on our phone. Procrastination feels irrational from the outside but gripping from the inside. Although it’s often framed as …

[ Scientists at Children’s Medical Center Research Institute at UT Southwestern (CRI) have discovered a benefit of vitamin C deficiency: protection from a major parasitic disease. Their research suggests an explanation for the loss of the ability to synthesize vitamin C in some animals, including humans. Source link

[ As millions prepare to set New Year’s resolutions centered on “eating clean” and “getting fit,” new research suggests these habits could also benefit your pillow time. Source link

[ For over a century, Alzheimer’s disease (AD) has been considered irreversible. Consequently, research has focused on disease prevention or slowing, rather than recovery. Despite billions of dollars spent on decades of research, there has never been a clinical trial of a drug for AD with an outcome goal of …

[ Researchers at Osaka Metropolitan University have discovered a practical way to detect and fix common labeling errors in large radiographic collections. By automatically verifying body-part, projection, and rotation tags, their research improves deep-learning models used for routine clinical tasks and research projects. Source link

[ Tuberculosis (TB) patients who smoke will recover far more quickly if they can quit—and help could come from their mobile phones, according to new research. Source link

[ A study led by biomedical scientists at the University of California, Riverside, has shown for the first time that a father’s exposure to microplastics (MPs) can trigger metabolic dysfunctions in his offspring. The research, conducted using mouse models, highlights a previously unknown pathway through which environmental pollutants impact the …

[ New research from Oregon Health & Science University has found that the rate of opioid use during pregnancy has risen two-fold over the past decade. Source link

[ A multicenter study led by UC Davis Health has tested a new treatment designed to improve care for people with a rare liver disease called primary sclerosing cholangitis. Researchers learned that an anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic monoclonal antibody known as nebokitug was safe and showed potential efficacy in patients with …
