| COVID-19 lockdown measures affect air pollution from cities differently Posted: 26 Apr 2022 12:37 PM PDT Seizing on a natural experiment created by restricted travel, researchers combine a network model with air pollution data before and during outbreaks. |
| Existing infrastructure will be unable to support future demand for high-speed internet Posted: 26 Apr 2022 12:37 PM PDT Researchers have shown that the UK's existing copper network cables can support faster internet speeds, but only to a limit. They say additional investment is urgently needed if the government is serious about its commitment to making high-speed internet available to all. |
| Poor diet associated with increased diabetes risk across all gradients of genetic risk Posted: 26 Apr 2022 12:36 PM PDT Genetic risk factors and diet quality are independently associated with type 2 diabetes; a healthy diet is linked to lower diabetes risk across all levels of genetic risk. That's the conclusion of a study of more than 35,000 U.S. adults. |
| Living near fast food restaurants in South Asia may increase risk of Type 2 diabetes Posted: 26 Apr 2022 12:36 PM PDT Globally, the prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus is increasing. A new study suggests that living near fast food restaurants increases the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes. |
| Posted: 26 Apr 2022 12:36 PM PDT Shielding vulnerable people while allowing Covid-19 to run through the rest of the population had been proposed as an alternative strategy to lockdowns. Modelling by University of Bath scientists shows it would ultimately have failed as infections 'leak through' to the most vulnerable. Even in the most optimistic shielding scenario, critical care capacity in hospitals would have been massively exceeded with tens of thousands of unnecessary deaths. |
| Protecting species for the good of global climate Posted: 26 Apr 2022 07:17 AM PDT Until now, measures to protect climate and biodiversity have often been developed in parallel. However, this is now considered outdated because many approaches can protect both climate and biodiversity. Scientists have now assessed the role of the potential future global biodiversity targets (Post-2020 Action Targets for 2030) for climate protection and found that about two thirds of these targets can also help to slow climate change. |
| Posted: 26 Apr 2022 07:17 AM PDT Homeowners in Baltimore area neighborhoods where stream restoration would do the most for water quality are far less willing to pay for such projects, than those in other areas, according to a new study. |
| The impact of COVID-19 on drug use -- and how it contributes to overdose risk Posted: 25 Apr 2022 06:20 PM PDT In rural communities, structural and community factors during the pandemic have increased anxiety, depression, and loneliness and altered drug use behaviors, according to a new study. |
| How to assess a community's resilience Posted: 25 Apr 2022 11:42 AM PDT Communities large and small exist throughout the West where water is life. Social systems are entwined with water systems, so water supply challenges are social challenges. To understand how the connection between those systems impacts communities' water supply resilience, researchers have developed a new framework to think about social water resilience. |
| Study: Economic burden of PTSD 'staggering' Posted: 25 Apr 2022 10:59 AM PDT A new study finds that the national economic burden of PTSD goes beyond direct health care expenses and exceeds the costs of other common mental health conditions, such as anxiety and depression. The researchers estimated the cost of PTSD at $232.2 billion for 2018, the latest year for which data were available at the time of the study. |
| Study reviews COVID-related hospital visitation limits and family stress Posted: 25 Apr 2022 10:59 AM PDT Efforts by hospitals to protect people from COVID-19 by restricting them from visiting family members in ICUs may have contributed to a significant increase in stress-related disorders, according to new research. The study reports that nearly two-thirds of those restricted from visiting were suffering from stress-related disorders three months after their family member was hospitalized. |
| Firearms kill more children than car crashes, new report finds Posted: 21 Apr 2022 03:11 PM PDT In an analysis of the most recent data available through the CDC, clinical researchers revealed that firearm injuries are now the leading cause of death among children up to age 19, and the racial gap between black and white youth is widening. The article calls for health care workers to recognize this as an epidemiological and public health challenge and to help find solutions. |
