Study shows higher mortality rates for those needing emergency procedures
Older people who undergo emergency surgeries on their operating surgeon’s birthday may be more likely to die within a month than patients who go through similar procedures on other days, a new UCLA-led study suggests. (more…)
We have heard of the benefits offered by hot tubs. Companies like ByRossi are providing cost-effective means of bringing relaxation and luxury into the home (while ValueHunta provides everything else). But what about home hydrotherapy and water circuit therapy? (more…)
EU-Projekt “ADAPT” untersucht, wie sich die Nutzpflanze an Umweltstress anpasst
Die Kartoffel gehört zu den wichtigsten Grundnahrungsmitteln der Welt. Auch als Futtermittel und Industrierohstoff ist sie von enormer wirtschaftlicher Bedeutung. Allerdings ist sie besonders empfindlich gegenüber den Folgen der Klimaveränderungen: Hitze- und Dürreperioden, aber auch Überschwemmungen der Anbaufläche als Folge von Starkregen sorgen für enorme Ertragseinbußen. Das EU Horizon-2020 Projekt ADAPT (Accelerated Development of multiple-stress tolerAnt PoTato) erforscht die Stressanpassung der Kartoffel mit dem Ziel, resistentere Sorten zu entwickeln. (more…)

Temperature has increased about 10-fold over the last 10 billion years
The universe is getting hotter, a new study has found.
The study, published Oct. 13 in the Astrophysical Journal, probed the thermal history of the universe over the last 10 billion years. It found that the mean temperature of gas across the universe has increased more than 10 times over that time period and reached about 2 million degrees Kelvin today — approximately 4 million degrees Fahrenheit.

Findings shed light on how hearing happens at the molecular level
We hear sounds in part because tiny filaments inside our inner ears help convert voices, music and noises into electrical signals that are sent to our brains for processing. Now, scientists have mapped and simulated those filaments at the atomic level, a discovery that shed lights on how the inner ear works and that could help researchers learn more about how and why people lose the ability to hear.
