Treatment for irritable bowel syndrome, IBS, often includes restricting certain foods, such as carbohydrates, but that doesn’t work for everyone. A new study has found that there might be a genetic reason for this, opening the door to personalized, gen… Continue reading Genetically tailored diets an effective treatment for IBS
As anyone who’s ever seen a science fiction movie knows, whipping up a black hole in a laboratory doesn’t seem like such a good idea.

A study has found that the frequency by which children and young people attend healthcare services – for a wide range of complaints – may be a sign of undiagnosed ADHD, highlighting the need for physicians to be on the lookout for signs other than the … Continue reading Kids’ visits to healthcare services may be an ADHD early warning sign
With autonomous vehicles already rolling on public roads, researchers from the University of Nottingham in the UK have used a camouflaged driver to look at how pedestrians react to visual cues from oncoming cars without a human at the wheel.Continue Re… Continue reading “Ghost driver” study tests visual prompts for autonomous vehicle comms
While weight-loss surgery has proven to be an effective long-term health treatment, it can also be expensive, can come with a host of unpleasant side effects, is invasive, and around a third of recipients will require follow-up surgery or hospitalization within five years. It’s no surprise, then, that only about 1% of those who have qualifying weight concerns actually go through with it.

There may be new hope for people afflicted with Tourette’s syndrome, in the form of a wrist-worn device. In a test of the technology, the majority of participants experienced a reduction in tic severity of at least 25%.Continue ReadingCategory: Health … Continue reading Wrist-zapping wearable found to reduce severity of Tourette’s tics
Chronic diabetic skin wounds are notoriously slow to heal, sometimes becoming so infected that amputations are required. A newly identified polymer could help keep that from happening, by radically boosting the healing process.Continue ReadingCategory:… Continue reading Newly identified polymer greatly boosts the healing of diabetic wounds
Scientists experimenting with a cutting-edge ultrasound technique have come up with a groundbreaking and incredibly precise way to measure the elasticity of materials at a microscopic scale. Based on the tracking of sound waves as they bounce across in… Continue reading World-first way to measure material elasticity uses laser ultrasound
Research continues to shine a light on all the surprising ways that exercise can benefit the human body, and that includes altering the composition of our gut microbiome and tempering inflammation. A new study has explored this phenomenon in sufferers … Continue reading Exercise boosts production of anti-inflammatory cannabis-like substances
It would be great if forensics teams could easily lift fingerprints off of bullet casings left at crime scenes, but unfortunately doing so is often quite difficult. A new technique developed at the University of Nottingham could change that.Continue Re… Continue reading New technique excels at lifting fingerprints from shell casings
