A new cost-effectiveness study estimates that nearly one million cardiovascular and diabetes events could be prevented and $42 billion could be saved in healthcare costs by including food incentives and disincentives for participants on SNAP. Of three models, two were cost-effective but the third, SNAP-plus, was not only cost-effective but actually cost-saving -- i.e., the government gained more dollars than it spent -- with net cost-savings of $10.16 billion at five years and $63.33 billion over lifetime.

A pathology test that applies artificial intelligence (AI) to characterize tissue samples can accurately predict clinically significant prostate cancer disease progression following surgery.

The sun inched toward the horizon in the western Paris skies around 4:30 p.m. Jan. 25, 2015, casting a soft golden glow over Hippodrome de Vincennes. The crystal horse trophy Philippe Delon cradled in his arms captured the rays and it too gleamed in a golden hue as Delon raised it over his head. Fro...

The weather people said slight chance of rain today in Lexington, and we got the "slight." Actually, it poured around 7:30 this morning, which made The Red Mile backstretch a bit muddy again, and forced me to bring back out the barn shoes and put the newspaper back on the floor mats. I had some q...

New York State voters thought that they had passed a constitutional amendment punishing corrupt politicians—but they didn’t read the fine print.

(Northwestern University) Northwestern University has received a $12.6 million grant from the National Institute on Aging at the National Institutes of Health to study the role of protein quality control in human aging and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease. The nearly five-year grant is one of NIH's Program Project Grants, designed to bring together the very best investigators to uniquely solve a big problem, with aging and the risk for age-associated diseases being an example of highest priority.

RIT scientists are simulating the collision of two supermassive black holes and the violent shocks in the electromagnetic spectrum. The light signals seen in the surrounding gas are harbingers of these monster collisions and can help scientists locate supermassive black hole binaries to better understand what is happening at the hearts of most galaxies.

Heart experts have long believed that weekday mornings -- and especially Mondays -- were the danger zones for unexpected deaths from sudden cardiac arrests. But a new Cedars-Sinai study shows those peak times have disappeared and now, sudden cardiac arrests are more likely to happen on any day at any time.

Obesity experts are praising a study published Monday in JAMA Pediatrics that rigorously assessed how the home environments of young children who are genetically at high risk for obesity can influence whether they become overweight or obese.

Scientists at the University of Toronto's Leslie Dan Faculty of Pharmacy have seen remarkable success combining tumor modulating nanoparticles with doxorubicin to enhance chemotherapy response in pre-clinical model breast cancer. This combination approach also appears to boost anti-tumor immunity, contributing to the growing excitement surrounding immunotherapy as an avenue to treat cancer.

NASA provided an infrared view of Tropical Depression Rosa's remnants that showed strongest storms with heaviest rainfall potential were over east central Arizona on Oct. 2. The National Hurricane Center noted that although Rosa had dissipated by 11 a.m. EDT on Oct. 2, the threat of heavy rains and flash flooding continues over the Desert Southwest.

When NASA's Aqua satellite passed over the Central Atlantic Ocean on Oct. 2 the MODIS instrument aboard analyzed water vapor within Tropical Storm Leslie.

Infrared satellite imagery provides temperature data, and when NASA's Aqua satellite passed over the Central Pacific Ocean, it analyzed Hurricane Walaka. Walaka is a Category four Hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale.

From Kristen Stewart to Cara Delevingne, a look at the Chanel beauty stars who frequent Karl Lagerfeld’s front row.

(NYU Tandon School of Engineering) The oldest international organization of radio arts and sciences professionals, the Radio Club of America, will award the Armstrong Medal to New York University Professor Theodore (Ted) Rappaport for demonstrated excellence and his lasting contributions. Rappaport's seminal research, most recently in the millimeter wave (mmWave) radio spectrum, advanced commercialization of this 5G technology. He is the founder of the internationally recognized research center NYU WIRELESS.

(Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience) The Max Planck Florida Institute of Neuroscience announces that Dr. Hyungbae Kwon has received one of 10 prestigious NIH Pioneer Grants. The award is for $6.8 million over five years. Dr. Kwon will study how internal brain state is regulated and how it affects our sensation, perception and cognition.

(Chan Zuckerberg Initiative) Today, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) announced its support for protocols.io, an open access resource that allows researchers to discover and share up-to-date science methods. CZI's support is aimed toward saving researchers time and helping science move faster.

(Vanderbilt University Medical Center) Reyna Gordon, PhD, assistant professor of Otolaryngology and director of the Music Cognition Lab in the Department of Otolaryngology at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, has received a National Institutes of Health (NIH) Director's New Innovator Award of $2.3 million in total costs for her project, 'Biomarkers of Rhythmic Communication: Integrating Foundational and Translational Approaches.'

(American Society of Plant Biologists) Sorghum, the fifth most popular crop worldwide, is used to create many products in the United States and is widely consumed by people in developing countries. The discovery of a crucial gene controlling stem juiciness in sorghum has important implications for the genetic improvement of this ancient grain and likely other crops as well.

(University of Tennessee Institute of Agriculture) Researchers with the University of Tennessee Institute of Agriculture will lead an effort worth up to $7.5 million to use plants to detect environmental threats to deployed troops and help protect civilians living in post-conflict settings. The goal is to innovate a new, revolutionary sensor platform. The DARPA-funded project is a 4-year effort that will combine the expertise of plant biologists, biochemists and engineers.

Neuroscientists led by Michael Fox, MD, PhD, of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) used brain lesion network mapping -- a technique pioneered by Fox at BIDMC -- to find the anatomical origins of the perception of free will. Their findings were published today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) are complex carbohydrates that are highly abundant and unique to human milk. Accumulating evidence indicates that exposure to HMOs in the postnatal period has both immediate and long-term benefits to infant health and development. Researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine report for the first time that HMOs are also present in amniotic fluid.

Experts at the American Geriatrics Society today unveiled a list of recommendations to help health systems prioritize a vital function for us all as we age: mobility. Published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, the AGS white paper focuses on assessing mobility for hospitalized older adults, offering a roadmap for shifting health care's focus away from negative markers of mobility loss and toward a deeper appreciation of ways mobility can be proactively assessed and preserved for us all as we age.

Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD), which is not caused by significant alcohol consumption, has become the most common liver disease in the United States and comprises more than two thirds of patients with chronic liver disease. In a Hepatology study of patients with NAFLD, modest alcohol consumption was associated with a 36 percent decreased risk of early death, while drinking 1.5 or more drinks per day was associated with a 45 percent increased risk, after adjustments.
