Have you ever pondered the mysteries of the universe? Specifically, the mind-bending realm where quantum mechanics and gravity intersect? Well, buckle up, because a recent paper by Thomas Galley, Flaminia Giacomini, and John Selby is about to take us on a fascinating journey into this enigmatic world. Their research provides a formal proof, a sort of 'cosmic detective work,' revealing new insights about the behavior of quantum matter when it flirts with gravitational fields.
New research in a population from Singapore suggests that individuals who drink coffee and tea appear to have a lower risk of Parkinson's disease, even if they are genetically predisposed to it.

Imagine yourself passing through a spacious library with books holding your lifetime experiences, thoughts, and memories on their pages. This repository is organised by a web of connections between each section, so no detail is missed. These are our “cognitive maps"—the structured internal representations of the relationships between things. This grand library seems to lose its once-clear boundaries as schizophrenia, a neuropsychiatric disorder affecting millions around the world, blurs the bou

Type 1 diabetes is particularly a serious disease and its management has been a journey fraught with various challenges. But MIT engineering announces a revolution in the treatment of diabetes which can be potentially transformative. This innovation is an implantable device, containing not only insulin-producing cells but also its own oxygen production factory. It is incredible that this device is capable of producing oxygen by splitting the user’s vapor. This is a phenomenal feat, with its posi
A new combination of treatments safely decreased growth of pancreatic cancer in mice by preventing cancer cells from scavenging for fuel, a new study finds.

In the age of speed and technology, people mistakenly believe that only hard and strict workouts can be useful for health. The Lancet Public Health, however, presents an enlightening perspective on the matter when it comes to new research. The Power of Small, Everyday Movements A University of Sydne...
In the age of speed and technology, people mistakenly believe that only hard and strict workouts can be useful for health. The Lancet Public Health, however, presents an enlightening perspective on the matter when it comes to new research. The Power of Small, Everyday Movements A University of Sydney ground breaking study led by Professor Emmanuel Stamatakis suggests that incidental activity could cut the risk of heart attack; stroke and early death. However, these are not hard workouts but simp
While the bacteria in the intestine are helpful for digesting food and fighting infections, they have long been suspected to play an essential role in triggering rheumatoid arthritis. This chronic inflammatory disorder affects the joints.

Dementia, which includes Alzheimer's disease, currently affects around 1.8 million people in Germany. The exact cause has not yet been clarified, but genetic factors play a significant role in the development of the disease. Most previous analyses aimed at the identification of novel Alzheimer's genes used, a "case-control design."
Happiness has become today’s fast-paced pursuit. People often relate their contentment from economic success to personal achievements to tangible outcomes. And suppose that the secret of happy life is not about the money that you earn, but about the social and not economic factors, which envelop you...

And suppose that the secret of happy life is not about the money that you earn, but about the social and not economic factors, which envelop you. The University of Hong Kong’s groundbreaking research could change our understanding of happiness. Understanding Societal Conditions and Happiness Satoshi Araki, an assistant professor at The Univer

Smoking, which impacts millions of people worldwide, is one of the pervasive habits that call for effective interventions aimed at cutting down cigarette consumption. The University of Missouri School of Medicine recently discovered a breakthrough solution to help smokers control their cravings in a unique way. Effects of Theta-Burst Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TBS) on cravings and smoking behavior. First, we must grasp the nicotine dependence prior to the study. It is a complicated disor

Everybody talks about the numerous benefits that come with exercising, but just how often do people need to exercise for them to experience these benefits? It’s no surprise if you have been thinking about this too. When it comes to the best workout plan as a medical student, one has to argue over th...
Edith Cowan University research revealed that muscle strength benefits are seen with consistent, short exercise sessions. Participants performing a three-second eccentric bicep contraction thrice weekly saw strength improvements. Daily 20-minute exercises might be more beneficial than a single 2-hour weekly session. Regularity, even in short durations, is key to health benefits.
The notion that some level of microbial exposure might reduce our risk of developing allergies has arisen over the last few decades and has been termed the hygiene hypothesis.

Standing at a crosswalk, the signal changes from "don't walk," to "walk." You might step out into the street straight away, or you might look both ways before you cross.

We can find the staircase in every building, which is common for out daily life and even for our cardiovascular health but we usually look for some advanced gym equipment's and wide park for that. New Study from Tulane University shows that including stair climbing in our daily routines can greatly reduce the risk of heart diseases by as much as 20 percent compared to taking thousands of steps a day. Beyond a Simple Exercise In fact, climbing stairs is not an insipid activity. It’s a combination
