Napping. Some people do it, and some people don’t. A new study has found that those who are genetically predisposed to taking regular daytime naps may have larger, healthier brains as a result.Continue ReadingCategory: Health & Wellbeing, Lifestyle… Continue reading Regular daytime naps linked to bigger, healthier brains
A few years ago, Scottish woman Jo Cameron was found to be a medical marvel who felt next to no pain, fear or anxiety, and had faster wound healing, thanks to a specific gene mutation. Now, scientists have studied in more detail to figure out how this … Continue reading Genetic study reveals why Scottish woman feels no pain, heals faster
Heart failure affects many millions globally but can be caused by multiple factors, requiring different treatments. Now, researchers have trained multiple machine learning models using a large, population-based dataset to identify five subtypes of hear… Continue reading AI IDs 5 kinds of heart failure to guide risk prediction and treatment
Cancer treatment is a complex and multifaceted area of medicine, and despite it having led to much greater survival rates, there are still many negative health impacts.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Cardiovascular, University College L… Continue reading Scientists pinpoint the cause of heart damage in cancer treatments
Researchers from University College London and the University of Potsdam, Germany have studied two most massive touching stars in a neighboring galaxy that will eventually turn into black holes and collide, sending ripples through space and time.Contin… Continue reading Mutual destruction: Binary stars, black holes, and ripples in space-time
For medication-resistant epileptics, surgery is often the only way to stop seizures. However, for those with frontal lobe epilepsy, sometimes surgery doesn’t ensure the seizures stop. A new study has uncovered connections in the brain that go some way … Continue reading Targeted brain network disconnection may improve epilepsy surgery outcomes
