Study yields surprising insights about how pre-teens feel about alcohol, tobacco and marijuana

They may only be in 4th or 5th grade, but 1 in 10 pre-teen children already say they're curious about using alcohol or tobacco products, and 1 in 50 say they're curious about using marijuana, a new study shows.

New project aims to create a genetic blood test for prostate cancer in Black men

Researchers at the University of East Anglia, Imperial College NHS Healthcare Trust and Oxford Biodynamics are developing a new genetic blood test for prostate cancer in Black men - who are twice as likely to develop and die of the disease than white men.

New K+-sensitive dual-mode imaging probe for diagnosis of tumor malignancy

Tumor malignancy identification plays an essential role in clinical management of cancer. Currently, biopsy is the gold standard for malignancy identification in most tumor cases, it is, however, invasive that can cause great discomfort to patients, and potentially increase the risk of distant metastases due to the complex sampling process.

Highly active cells associated with growth and recurrence of brain glioma

Tumors are made up of many types of cells, both cancerous and benign. The specific complexity of the cells inside brain tumors has been a trademark of the disease, one that makes treatment extremely difficult. While scientists have long known about the variety of cells within a brain tumor, the ways these tumors grow has relied on the understanding that the cells are static, unmoving and relatively fixed.

Ghost imaging can be combined with human vision to image an object hidden from the direct line of sight

Researchers have shown that the computational imaging technique known as ghost imaging can be combined with human vision to image an object that can't directly be seen by the person. The new work represents a step toward combining human intelligence with artificial intelligence.

$Simple X-ray method could help prevent spinal fractures in older people$

Simple X-ray method could help prevent spinal fractures in older people

Among older people, vertebral compression fractures are very common, and those with such fractures are at high risk of incurring new ones. Findings in a new thesis from the University of Gothenburg indicate that a simple X-ray method should be introduced as a routine procedure in Swedish health care.
