A study has found that much higher doses of antibiotics are needed to eliminate a bacterial infection of the airways when other microbes are present. It helps explain why respiratory infections often persist in people with lung diseases such as cystic fibrosis despite treatment.
Researchers have identified a link which suggests that lithium could decrease the risk of developing dementia, which affects nearly one million people in the UK.
Debra Gutierrez of Von Ormy, Texas, near San Antonio has been an active person all her life.
Girls and boys might be more vulnerable to the negative effects of social media use at different times during their adolescence, say an international team of scientists.
Long-term use of implantable electronic medical devices – such as pacemakers and cochlear implants – is hampered by the body’s reaction to foreign bodies. Now, in a study in mice, a team led by scientists at the University of Cambridge has shown that this reaction can be dramatically reduced by incorporating an anti-inflammatory drug into the silicone coating around the implant.
Findings from the ongoing longitudinal Early Growth and Development Study (EGDS), a long-term, prospective adoption study launched by a Yale psychiatrist, indicate that, while many studies have emphasized the role of parents in the development of a child, children can also influence their parents — and some of these influences are due to genetic characteristics.
A device known as a bionic pancreas, which uses next-generation technology to automatically deliver insulin, was more effective at maintaining blood glucose (sugar) levels within normal range than standard-of-care management among people with type 1 diabetes, a new multicenter clinical trial has found.
Researchers from The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (UT Health San Antonio) are part of an international team that discovered 61 additional genetic loci associated with stroke and six genes that are potential targets for drug therapy to prevent or treat stroke.
The Podiatric Medicine and Surgery Residency Program at The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (UT Health San Antonio) celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2022.
A team of researchers led by Dr. Michael Waters from Texas A&M University has identified the oldest bone weapon ever found in the Americas.
Texas A&M University researchers, studying the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey, uncovered alarming evidence of increased acidity in Galveston Bay, posing a significant threat to the bay's oyster reefs.
Texas A&M researchers have made a significant breakthrough in cancer treatment with the development of light-switchable CAR T-cell therapy (LiCAR-T).
A groundbreaking study from the University of Missouri finds that workplaces are missing out on the full leadership potential of their employees. The research emphasizes the importance of managers fostering inclusivity in leadership development and providing equal opportunities for everyone.
A study conducted by UZH and the USZ has examined how blood stem cell transplantation treats MS and how the immune system heals afterward.
Before-and-after images and measurements revealed a treasure trove of data from the few seconds that it took for the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft to collect an asteroid sample, which is currently en route to Earth.
The findings also have implications for other neuromuscular diseases such as ALS.
A University of Arizona-led team discovered that as the Colorado River carved the Grand Canyon, it flushed away ancient deep saline groundwater. The methods the researchers developed to determine the age of groundwater could be used to date and understand the conditions of deep groundwater elsewhere.
A concept developed by University of Arizona aerospace experts and a NASA planetary scientist takes inspiration from albatross flight to learn more about the Red Planet's atmosphere and geology.
It's often true that the better that scholars know their subject, the more unclear their writing is to readers. A research team from the University of Arizona Eller College of Management may be able to help.
Sophisticated simulations of climate during the onset of the last glacial period – some 100,000 years ago – may help explain why a massive ice sheet formed in Scandinavia despite its comparatively mild climate.
