On a weekly basis, Finnish agility dogs go on walks more than their North American cousins, indicates a study conducted at the University of Helsinki. Warming dogs up before and cooling them down after agility runs is an established practice among Finnish competitors.
Nearly one in seven Finnish competition-level agility dogs were injured in the sport in 2019. More than half of the injuries were in the forelimbs, while one in ten of the dogs studied had to retire from the sport due to their injuries.
The George Pólya Prize in Mathematics is awarded by SIAM - Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, every four years.
An international consortium of leading migraine scientists identified more than 120 regions of the genome that are connected to risk of migraine. The groundbreaking study helps researchers better understand the biological basis of migraine and its subtypes and can speed up the search for new treatment of the condition.
A Washington State University study has found that sustainable methods to produce synthetic ammonia for fertilizer can be cost competitive with the current, fossil-fuel based method, creating a commercial option that can reduce carbon emissions.
As many as 14 million people in the United States could lose access to Medicaid health care coverage when the federal government’s Medicaid continuous coverage requirement unwinds over the next year.
