Scientists have found life bubbling up from deep beneath the ocean floor along with petroleum fluids, diversifying microbial communities and impacting carbon cycling. The study reveals a two-way street between sedimentation and microbial exchange, offering insights into the vast subsurface realm.
A case series study examines the impact of hydroxychloroquine alone or in combination with azithromycin on QT intervals in French patients with COVID-19. The study found no significant association between the treatment and prolonged QT intervals, providing insights into the use of these medications in COVID-19 treatment.
Researchers discovered that SARS-CoV-2 can infect intestinal cells in vitro, explaining gastrointestinal symptoms and fecal-oral transmission. The study provides a new cell culture model for studying COVID-19 and may lead to new treatments by blocking the virus's entry into cells.
A new study explores how franchisors can use contract ambiguity to minimize litigation and improve joint problem-solving with franchisees. The research finds that ambigous contracts lead to a 7% increase in franchisor net income, as well as enhanced collaboration and deterrence of franchisee-initiated lawsuits.
A new neural probe design captures lost signals in brain activity, enabling experiments previously impossible. The probe's improved shielding and boron-infused silicon increase conductivity, allowing researchers to modulate neurons with high temporal resolution.
A recent study published in JAMA Cardiology found that patients treated with hydroxychloroquine for COVID-19 were at increased risk of electrical changes to the heart and cardiac arrhythmias. The combination of hydroxychloroquine with azithromycin was linked to even greater changes compared to hydroxychloroquine alone.
Twisting 2D materials has uncovered their superpowers, revealing exotic physical behaviors such as high temperature superconductivity and structural super-lubricity. Aalto University's researchers have developed a new method for making twisted layers, allowing precise control of the twist angle on a large scale.
A study found associations between hydroxychloroquine, azithromycin, and prolonged QT intervals in adult COVID-19 patients. The observational study examined the effects of these medications on cardiac health in hospitalized patients with coronavirus disease 2019.
Despite regional hardship, ancient people continued their centuries-long tradition of meeting to socialize and feast on oysters. The persistence of these gatherings underscores the importance of community for the people affected by climate change and abandonment.
