Loading The stinging cells leave a red line where the tentacle touched your skin and may appear beaded with spots along the affected area. New South Wales beaches were swamped by a ‘bloom’ of blue flies swept by northeast winds in 2021, causing the bites of large numbers of bathers. Dozens of blueflies also washed …

According to estimates by the American Cancer Society, there will be 268,490 new cases of prostate cancer in 2022, along with 34,500 deaths from prostate cancer.1 These are staggering numbers that show just how common the disease is among American men. While these numbers are concerning, there is a silver lining: the 15-year relative survival …

In 1916, Einstein completed his theory of general relativity, which describes how gravitational forces alter the curvature of spacetime. Among other things, this theory predicted that the Universe is expanding, which was confirmed by the observations of Edwin Hubble in 1929. Since then, astronomers have looked further into space (and therefore, into the time) to …

The incidence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is rapidly increasing worldwide and affects up to one in six pregnant women. A new Primary Care Diabetes A review study relates this to a high body mass index (BMI) before the onset of pregnancy, associated with exposure to different levels of particles (PM) of a certain size. …

The ingredients line up for parts of Florida to be active for wildfires in 2023, despite two hurricanes making landfall in 2022 bringing torrential rains. The recently released outlook from the National Interagency Fire Center shows the likelihood of above-normal wildfire potential developing in the new year along the Interstate 10 corridor and includes the …

Saturn’s largest moon, Titan, has a surface temperature of 94 degrees Kelvin above absolute zero, about one-third that of Earth. Titan is located 9.5 times further than the Earth-Sun separation, and the surface temperature of solar system objects decreases roughly as the square root of their distance from the Sun. Coincidentally, 94 degrees was the …

Newswise – Philadelphia, November 30, 2022 – Researchers at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) have discovered a specific genetic variant in SCN1A, the most common genetic epilepsy, which results in early onset epilepsy, with clinical features distinct from other epilepsies. The researchers also identified a potentially effective treatment strategy. The results were recently published …

Newswise – Researchers were able to make key determinations about the first galaxies to exist, in one of the first astrophysical studies of the period in the early Universe when the first stars and galaxies formed, known as the dawn cosmic. Using data from India’s SARAS3 radio telescope, researchers led by the University of Cambridge …
