    A chemical in plastics is tied to heart disease deaths

    A common chemical in household plastics has been linked with heart disease deaths.

    In 2018, about 13.5 percent of the more than 2.6 million deaths from cardiovascular disease among people ages 55 to 64 globally could have been related to exposure to a type of chemical called a phthalate, researchers report April 28 in eBioMedicine.

    Phthalates are a group of chemicals found in shampoos, lotions, food packaging and medical supplies including blood bags. The chemicals are often…

    Israel urges ICC to drop arrest warrants against PM

    Israel has asked the International Criminal Court to dismiss its arrest warrants against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former defence minister Yoav Gallant while ICC judges reconsider complex jurisdictional questions.

    In a 14-page document dated May 9 but posted on the ICC website on Monday, Israel argued the warrants issued in November were null and void while judges weigh a previous Israeli challenge to the ICC’s jurisdiction in the case.

    Different anesthetics, same result: Unconsciousness by shifting brainwave phase

    At the level of molecules and cells, ketamine and dexmedetomidine work very differently, but in the operating room they do the same exact thing: anesthetize the patient. By demonstrating how these distinct drugs achieve the same result, a new study in animals by neuroscientists at The Picower Institute for Learning and Memory at MIT identifies a potential signature of unconsciousness that is readily measurable to improve anesthesiology care.

    What the two drugs have in common, the researchers…

    Extended reality boccia shows positive rehabilitation effects

    Boccia’s appeal and rising popularity comes from its showcase as a Paralympic sport that can be enjoyed by people of all ages and abilities. An Osaka Metropolitan University team has developed an extended reality version of the game as a rehabilitation program, showing how the game that requires accuracy and strategy can aid motor and cognitive skills.

    Graduate School of Rehabilitation Science Associate Professor Masataka Kataoka’s research group developed Boccia XR so that the program can…

  • Israel Kills a Palestinian Woman Nearly Every Hour in Gaza, Rights Group Warns

    Israel Kills a Palestinian Woman Nearly Every Hour in Gaza, Rights Group Warns

    Gaza (Quds News Network)- Israel is killing women in Gaza at an average rate of 21.3 per day, nearly one every hour, according to the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor. In a statement released Sunday, the group said these figures do not include thousands of women who have died due to siege, starvation, and a lack of medical care, meaning the real death toll is likely much higher.

    The organization stated that Israel is carrying out systematic and deliberate attacks against Palestinian…

    Is Trump abandoning Israel? Not really | Israel-Palestine conflict

    United States President Donald Trump descends on Tuesday on the Middle East for a regional tour that will begin in Saudi Arabia and include stops in the United Arab Emirates and Qatar. It is a business trip in every sense of the term, involving potentially trillions of dollars in investment and trade deals.

    The UAE, for example, has already pledged $1.4 trillion in investments to the US over 10 years in sectors ranging from artificial intelligence and energy to mining and aluminium…

    ChatGPT helps pinpoint precise locations of seizures in the brain, aiding neurosurgeons

    Epilepsy, one of the most common neurological disorders characterized by recurrent seizures, affects over 70 million people worldwide. In the United States, about 3.4 million people live with this challenging condition. Around one third of the epilepsy cases cannot be controlled by medications. For those patients, surgical resection of the epileptogenic zone (EZ), an area whose removal can lead to seizure freedom — a period of time when a person with epilepsy experiences no seizures — can…

    Your fingers wrinkle in the same pattern every time you’re in the water for too long

    Do your wrinkles always form in the same pattern every time you’re in the water for too long? According to new research from Binghamton University, State University of New York, the answer is yes.

    A couple of years ago, Binghamton University Associate Professor Guy German published research about why human skin wrinkles when you stay in the water too long. Received wisdom held that the water swelled your skin and made your fingers wrinkly, but little to no research had been done to prove…

    Cell death discovery could lead to next-gen drugs for neurodegenerative conditions

    Researchers have discovered how to block cells dying, in a finding that could lead to new treatments for neurodegenerative conditions like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s.

    The team at WEHI in Melbourne, Australia, have identified a small molecule that can selectively block cell death.

    Published in Science Advances, the findings lay the groundwork for next-generation neuroprotective drugs for degenerative conditions, which currently have no cure or treatments to stop their progression.
