New smartphone-based device can quickly identify infected wounds

It’s notoriously difficult for doctors to identify a wound that is becoming infected. Clinical signs and symptoms are imprecise and methods of identifying bacteria can be time-consuming and inaccessible, so a diagnosis can be subjective and dependent on clinician experience.

Maternal emulsifier consumption associated with mild health risks for offspring

A new study in mice shows that consuming emulsifiers, a common ingredient in ultra-processed human foods during pregnancy or breast-feeding is associated with mild health risks for offspring.

Women with pre-eclampsia undergo accelerated aging during pregnancy

Pre-eclampsia, a life-threatening surge in blood pressure, is an enigmatic condition. Each year, it causes the deaths of more than 70,000 women worldwide. Because scientists do not know what causes it, they lack targeted strategies to treat it.

Lung cells can be trained to counteract inflammation

Inflammation is a standard part of our bodies' immune system response. But sometimes this response becomes hyperactivated in our lungs, causing inflammation to continue unchecked, which can be fatal. Many deaths from COVID-19 have been due to excessive inflammation, which results in acute lung injury.

CPAP therapy can mitigate telomere shortening in sleep apnea patients

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) consists of multiple episodes of partial or complete closure of the upper airway that occur during sleep, leading to breathing cessation lasting more than ten seconds and sometimes even several minutes, followed by arousals and deep breathing.
