New Urbanism's core values focus on environmental and spatial aspects, such as compact living and reduced land consumption. The trend promotes mixed-income housing to achieve social equity goals, rather than community bonding.
A large-scale study involving 50,000 Canadian women in their 40s found that annual mammography screenings did not reduce breast cancer deaths, but increased cancer detection rates. The study's results, published in Annals of Internal Medicine, challenge the long-held assumption that mammography screening saves lives.
Researchers at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center found that a cancer drug caused a virus to mutate so much it could no longer reproduce, becoming extinct. The treatment increases mutations in viral genomes, making it a promising approach to combat viruses.
Researchers found a genetic link between a specific enzyme and increased risk of heart failure in alcoholics, with those having two copies of the D allele facing a 16 times greater risk. This discovery opens up possibilities for uncovering other genetic predispositions for various alcohol-related diseases.
Archaeologists discovered a 900-year-old square hilltop village in Illinois that contradicts previous understanding of Cahokian settlements. The village had a rigid orientation and large central residence with religious structures, sparking questions about its purpose as a farming village or administrative outpost.
Researchers found that depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA) reduces flow-mediated dilatation, a key indicator of endothelial function. DMPA can still be used safely by healthy women without cardiovascular risk factors, but those with risk factors should review their decision with their physician.
A new study by Mark Testa finds that subsidized guardianship increases permanency rates without affecting family relationships. The program saves $25 million while providing more children with stable and loving homes.
Researchers argue that prioritizing ecological aesthetics over traditional scenic preferences may not be the best approach. Instead, they suggest building a consensus on ecosystem health and understanding how people adopt environmental concerns. The study highlights the need for a balanced approach to landscape management.
According to Professor Rugman's research, only a handful of multinational companies, such as Nestlé and Unilever, can be considered 'global'. The majority focus on sales within their home region, with many struggling to maintain profitable foreign operations. This trend towards 'de-globalisation' is driven by persistently poor global p...
A Canadian National Breast Cancer Screening Study found that annual mammography for five years had no impact on breast cancer deaths in women aged 40-49. The US Preventive Services Task Force recommends starting mammography at age 40, but evidence is considered 'fair' due to conflicting results.
Researchers found strong relationships between nephropathy and insulin resistance throughout follow-up, unlike other risk factors such as blood pressure and blood fats. Lifestyle changes like proper diet, exercise, and smoking cessation may help people with type 1 diabetes avoid kidney disease.
