Using ultrasound energy to target specific millimetres of the brain, including deep areas, focused ultrasound technology is a non-invasive therapeutic approach that treats neurological disorders without necessitating opening the skull. Because it doesn’t harm nearby good tissue and reduces side effects like infections and difficulties, it has been used to treat a range of resistant […]
A common gut bacteria that is present in two-thirds of the world’s population may be linked to a higher risk of Alzheimer’s disease, according to new research. The study examined whether a clinically evident Helicobacter pylori (H pylori) infection raised the risk of Alzheimer’s disease in individuals 50 years of age and older. It was […]
Plastic waste and its accumulation in nature have recently become a major environmental concern. While plastic pollution in the oceans is certainly a concern, the presence of plastics in soils around the world is also known to pose major environmental and health issues. Plastics fragment into tiny particles known as microplastics (MPs) in the soil […]
Researchers discovered a wide range of risk factors for young-onset dementia. The findings bring the notion that heredity is the only cause of the disease into question, paving the potential for innovative prevention measures. The full study is entitled ‘Risk factors for young-onset dementia in the UK Biobank: A prospective population-based study’, published in JAMA […]
A research team led by Associate Professor Hidenori Nishihara from Kindai University and Professor Yoshiro Ishimaru from Meiji University, Japan, have identified five new, previously undiscovered groups within the TAS1R family. This discovery is a result of a genome-widesurvey of jawed vertebrates including all major fish groups. Researchers from all over the world are examining […]
According to a study from the University of Gothenburg in Sweden, artery calcification is nearly twice as common in night owls as it is in early birds. Circadian function appears to be crucial in the early stages of cardiovascular disease.Atherosclerosis involves fatty deposits accumulating on the inside of the arteries, making it harder for blood […]
A wide range of risk factors for young-onset dementia have been found by researchers. The findings call into question the concept that genetics is the only cause of the disease, paving the way for novel preventative techniques.The large-scale study identified 15 risk factors, which are similar to those for late-onset dementia. For the first time, […]
The total COVID-19 cases in India since January 2020 now stand at 4,50,10,944, with a total death toll of 5,33,346.
A recent study conducted by Virginia Commonwealth University scientists found that a warmer environment may result in more mosquitos as predators struggle to maintain their number.As the cover feature in Ecology, a journal published by the Ecological Society of America, the study — “Warming and Top-Down Control of Stage-Structured Prey: Linking Theory to Patterns in […]
How are memories formed when sleeping? Research led by Dr Thomas Schreiner, head of the Emmy Noether junior research group at LMU’s Department of Psychology, demonstrated a direct relationship between the emergence of certain sleep-related brain activity patterns and the reactivation of memory contents during sleep in 2021. However, it was still unclear whether these […]
