Research finds that women who suppress their anger experience more intense feelings of anger and disgust than men. This 'rebound effect' suggests that suppressing emotions may not be an effective strategy for managing anger.
Researchers at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute have developed a method for detecting unknown microorganisms in human tissue, leveraging DNA sequencing data. The technique, called computational subtraction, has shown promise in identifying novel infectious agents in mysterious chronic diseases.
Researchers at NSF Longterm Ecological Research in Antarctica found a cooling trend on the continent, contradicting global warming expectations. The study indicates that most of the continent is cooling, posing challenges to climate models and potentially affecting unique ecosystems.
A study of 820 female college students found depression and alexithymia more strongly associated with disordered eating than childhood abuse and neglect. Researchers suggest interventions addressing adaptive coping mechanisms for depression may help individuals with disordered eating behaviors.
A study found that only 24% of antibiotics prescribed for women's urinary tract infections are the recommended drug, down from 48% in 1990. The alternative medications are no more effective and cost 11-40 times as much. This trend appears to result from non-clinical forces such as pharmaceutical promotions and sub-specialty culture.
