Vocal changes in songbirds may help predict age-related disorders in people, neuroscientists suggest

MyBlueDots4 months ago01 mins

University of Arizona neuroscientists studying the brains of songbirds have found that aging alters the gene expressions that control the birds’ song. The finding could lead to earlier diagnoses and better treatments for human neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease, which are known to hinder vocal production in their early stages.

A team from the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV) and the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), belonging to the Research Institute for Molecular Imaging Technologies (I3M), has developed, together with the NITIUV Group of the La Fe Health Research Institute (IIS La Fe) in Valencia and the Biomechanics Institute of Valencia, a new device—in the prototype phase—to break up kidney stones.

Exoskeleton and digital twin speed up stroke recovery

MyBlueDots4 months ago01 mins

Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have developed a system that helps patients learn to move their paralyzed arms and hands quickly after a stroke. This requires targeted stimulation of the muscles in the forearm and the support of an exoskeleton. Twenty-four stroke patients have already tested the system at the Schön Klinik Bad Aibling.

Aortic valve size determines the degree of valve calcification in severe aortic stenosis, finds study

MyBlueDots4 months ago01 mins

Recent research from Karl Landsteiner University of Health Sciences (KL Krems) provides important new insights into how aortic valve size is associated with the degree of valve calcification in severe aortic stenosis (AS).

One-step high-sensitivity approach enables rapid bacterial pathogen diagnosis

MyBlueDots4 months ago01 mins

Researchers at National Taiwan University have unveiled an innovative diagnostic tool that significantly improves the speed and accuracy of detecting bacterial infections. This technology is designed to enhance the sensitivity to identify harmful bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which can cause severe illnesses.

AI maps blood vessels in the retina for better diagnostics

MyBlueDots4 months ago01 mins

Researchers from a joint Skoltech-University of Sharjah laboratory and AIRI Institute have automated the analysis of retina images used to diagnose diabetic retinopathy. This refers to retinal damage in diabetes patients that can potentially cause permanent blindness.

Why we shouldn’t let lower fertility rates fuel pronatalist policies

MyBlueDots4 months ago01 mins

Buried in the Donald Trump administration’s recent avalanche of executive orders in the United States was a starkly revealing provision: A Department of Transportation order requiring projects to prioritize federal highway and transit funding to communities with marriage and birth rates higher than the national average. Those with declining birth and marriage rates could face funding cuts.
