Obstructive sleep apnea can cause or contribute to high blood pressure, so a new study examined which sleep apnea treatments – a CPAP machine or a mouthguard that keeps the airways open – was more effective at lowering blood pressure.Continue ReadingCa… Continue reading Sleep apnea: Mouthguards less invasive, just as effective as CPAP
An expedition to underwater mountains off the coast of Chile has led to the discovery of 160 species not known to live in the region, at least 50 of which are new to science. The information will inform marine protection strategies for important biodiv… Continue reading Gallery: 50 new marine species found, including this unimpressed sea toad
Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) researchers have developed H2O – Human2HumanOid – a reinforcement learning-based framework that allows a full-sized humanoid robot to be teleoperated by a human in real-time using only an RGB camera. Which begs the ques… Continue reading How blue-collar workers will train the humanoids that take their jobs
Dietary fiber is known to reduce blood pressure, but there’ve been no guides on how much you need to eat to reap the rewards – until now. A new study has confirmed that dietary fiber lowered blood pressure independently of medication and quantified how… Continue reading How much dietary fiber do you need to reduce high blood pressure?
