    Video: Israeli Groups Share AI Video Depicting Destruction of Al-Aqsa Mosque

    Occupied Palestine (Quds News Network)- Israeli groups released a shocking AI-generated video showing the destruction of Al-Aqsa Mosque and the building of a Jewish temple on its ruins.

    The video, titled “Next Year in Jerusalem”, went viral on Israeli platforms. It came just days after nearly 7,000 colonial settlers stormed the Al-Aqsa mosque compound during the Jewish Passover holiday under heavy Israeli police protection.

    Older adults respond well to immunotherapy despite age-related immune system differences

    Older adults with cancer respond just as well as younger patients to immune checkpoint inhibitors despite age-related immune system differences, according to a study by researchers from the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center and its Bloomberg~Kimmel Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy, and the Johns Hopkins Convergence Institute. The study was supported in part by the National Institutes of Health, including the National Cancer Institute’s Specialized Programs of Research Excellence.

  • Experimental cancer drug could streamline standard tuberculosis treatment and prevent post-TB lung disease, study suggests

    Experimental cancer drug could streamline standard tuberculosis treatment and prevent post-TB lung disease, study suggests

    An experimental drug now in clinical trials as a cancer treatment could help boost the power of first-line tuberculosis (TB) treatments by helping infected cells die a gentler death, Johns Hopkins Medicine investigators report, based on mouse-model research of the lung-damaging disease. Findings from the study, funded by the National Institutes of Health and published March 27 in Nature Communications, could lead to more effective and less onerous therapies that reduce lung damage in TB…

  • Omnivorous? Vegan? Makes no difference to muscle building after weight training, study finds

    Omnivorous? Vegan? Makes no difference to muscle building after weight training, study finds

    A new study asked three questions about muscle protein synthesis in response to a nine-day diet and weight training regimen: First, does the source of protein — plant or animal-based — make any difference to muscle gain? Second, does it matter if total daily protein intake is evenly distributed throughout the day? And third, does a moderate but sufficient daily protein intake influence any of these variables? The answer to all three questions is “no,” the researchers found.

    Their findings…

  • A light-activated probe reveals TB immune system evasion mechanisms

    A light-activated probe reveals TB immune system evasion mechanisms

    Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease that kills more than a million people worldwide every year. The pathogen that causes the disease, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, is deadly in part because of its complex outer envelope, which helps it evade immune responses of infected hosts. In an ACS Infectious Diseases paper, researchers developed a chemical probe to study a key component of this envelope. Their results provide a step toward finding new ways of inactivating the bacterium.

    Because…

    New analytics-driven framework aims to improve care of chronic disease

    An analytics-driven “decision framework” that accounts for the socioeconomic and demographic factors of patients can promote more equitable health care delivery and potentially improve chronic disease care outcomes, according to new research co-written by a University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign business scholar who studies technology adoption in health care.

    A data-informed approach to scheduling patient encounters with clinicians can reduce risks associated with diabetes management by up…

    In kids, EEG monitoring of consciousness safely reduces anesthetic use

    Newly published results of a randomized, controlled clinical trial in Japan among more than 170 children aged 1 to 6 who underwent surgery, show that by using EEG readings of brain waves to monitor unconsciousness, an anesthesiologist can significantly reduce the amount of the anesthesia administered to safely induce and sustain each patient’s anesthetized state. On average the little patients experienced significant improvements in several post-operative outcomes, including quicker recovery…

    This Swine Flu Strain Has All The Hallmarks Of A Pandemic Threat

    A new study has identified an influenza virus circulating in pigs that shows multiple traits associated with pandemic potential. Known as H1N2, the virus belongs to a lineage of flu viruses that originated in birds, adapted to pigs, and has now been detected in humans. According to researchers, this strain—called 1C H1N2—has the ability to infect human airway cells, transmit between…

    New research lays groundwork for early detection of Alzheimer’s disease

    A new study from Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health and the Columbia Butler Aging Center suggests that risk factors and biomarkers related to Alzheimer’s disease are associated with cognition much earlier in life than previously recognized. The study highlights significant associations between cognition and Alzheimer’s disease risk factors as young as ages 24 to 44 and underscores the importance of early prevention. This is the first study to systematically examine…
