There are over 500,000 plant species in the world today. They all evolved from a common ancestor. How this leap in biodiversity happened is still unclear. Researchers now present the results of a unique project on the evolution of plants. Using genetic data from 1,147 species the team created the most comprehensive evolutionary tree for green plants to date.

Vaginal dysbiosis has been identified to be associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes, such as preterm delivery and premature rupture of membranes. However, the overall structure and composition of vaginal microbiota in different trimesters of the pregnant women has not been fully elucidated. In this study, the physiological changes of the vaginal microbiota in healthy pregnant women were investigated. A total of 83 healthy pregnant participants were enrolled, who are in the first, second, or third...

On September 1, 1939, German forces under the command of Hitler invaded Poland, marking the official start of World War II. Hundreds of thousands of Polish civilians were massacred, and much of the country, including 80% of the capital city of Warsaw, was completely leveled. But the country, despite Nazi and Soviet occupation, recovered and flourished, and is now a growing central European destination. Of Poland’s many thriving economies, the medical technology sector in particular is significant,...

NICO Corporation, a company based in Indianapolis, Indiana, is releasing its new NICO Myriad NOVUS resection tool. The FDA cleared product combines xenon illumination with NICO’s proven myriad neural tissue removal technology. Xenon lights reproduce the visible spectrum of daylight much better than most other bulbs, although LED contenders are now available, and so are often the optimal choice when working in a confined environment and where precision is key. The Myriad NOVUS is intended...

Canon has announced that its new Advanced Intelligent Clear-IQ Engine (AiCE) has been cleared by the FDA to be used on the company’s “ultra high-resolution” Aquilion Precision CT system. The use of the AiCE deep convolutional neural network for image reconstruction, coupled with the Aquilion Precision’s ability to get about twice as much resolution in an image compared with conventional CT, should allow clinicians to diagnose conditions based on smaller anatomy than before and to see lesions that...

Οι πάσχοντες από υπέρταση που λαμβάνουν την αντιϋπερτασική αγωγή τους πριν πέσουν να κοιμηθούν το βράδυ έχουν καλύτερο έλεγχο της αρτηριακής πίεσης τους και σημαντικά μειωμένο κίνδυνο θανάτου ή νοσηρότητας λόγω καρδιακών ή αγγειακών προβλημάτων συγκριτικά με εκείνους που παίρνουν τα αντιϋπερτασικά το πρωί. Στο συμπέρασμα αυτό καταλήγει η μελέτη Hygia Chronotherapy Trial, που δημοσιεύθηκε στο European Heart Journal. Πρόκειται για την μεγαλύτερη έρευνα που εστιάζει την επίδραση του χρόνου στην αποτελεσματικότητα...

Οι άνθρωποι που αισθάνονται συχνά αποξενωμένοι, απομονωμένοι και πως κανείς δεν τους καταλαβαίνει, είναι πιο πιθανό να έχουν επίμονες σκέψεις θανάτου σε σχέση με άλλους, σύμφωνα με νέα έρευνα που δημοσιεύθηκε στο Journal of Research in Personality. Δεν είναι ακόμη βέβαιο κατά πόσο αυτά τα αισθήματα απομόνωσης δύνανται να εξηγήσουν την ύπαρξη των σκέψεων θανάτου, αλλά υπάρχουν ενδείξεις που υποστηρίζουν τη συγκεκριμένη υπόθεση. «Πρόκειται για μια εμπειρία που κάποιοι άνθρωποι έχουν και ορισμένοι...

Μια ένωση που χρησιμοποιείται για την αντικατάσταση της θεωρούμενης ως ενδροκρινικού διαταράκτη δισφαινόλης Α (BPA), ίσως προκαλεί βλάβη στα λιποκύτταρα, πράγμα το οποίο θα μπορούσε να οδηγήσει σε αυξημένη φλεγμονή και παχυσαρκία. Αυτά τουλάχιστον υποστηρίζει η πρώτη στο είδος της μελέτη με θέμα τις επιπτώσεις που μπορεί να έχει η δισφαινόλη AF (BPAF) στην υγεία, η οποία δημοσιεύθηκε στο American Journal of Physiology—Cell Physiology.

Το κλειδί για την αντιμετώπιση της υπέρτασης μπορεί να κρύβεται στους ανθρώπους που «αντιστέκονται» στην αύξηση της αρτηριακής πίεσης ακόμα κι αν ακολουθούν μια διατροφή με πολύ αλάτι, σύμφωνα με τα όσα υποδεικνύει μια έρευνα που δημοσιεύθηκε στο Experimental Physiology. Στο Ηνωμένο Βασίλειο ένας στους τέσσερις ενηλίκους πάσχουν από υπέρταση, ενώ σε παγκόσμιο επίπεδο ο αντίστοιχος αριθμός ξεπερνά τους 1,1 δις ανθρώπους, καθιστώντας την υψηλή αρτηριακή πίεση ένα από τα μεγαλύτερα προβλήματα της παγκόσμιας...

Μπορεί για πολλές νέες μητέρες το μυαλό που «κατακλύζεται» από σκέψεις που αφορούν αποκλειστικά στο μωρό και οι νύχτες χωρίς ύπνο να μην είναι στοιχεία ευοίωνα για τις νοητικές τους ικανότητες τους, μια μελέτη, όμως, υποστηρίζει ότι οι γυναίκες που αποκτούν παιδιά γίνονται πιο οξυδερκείς στην πορεία της ζωής τους. Πιο αναλυτικά, σύμφωνα με τη μελέτη που δημοσιεύθηκε στο Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, οι γυναίκες που γίνονται μητέρες έχουν «νεότερους εγκεφάλους» από εκείνες που...
