A high-throughput liquid organic hydrogen carrier (LOHC) performance test system was developed by KIST to downselect competitive LOHC candidates. The system allows for rapid testing of dehydrogenation in well-defined conditions, enabling comparative analyses to draw out optimal solutions.
An international study involving almost 10,000 patients with type 2 diabetes found that women are less likely to reach recommended treatment targets for cardiovascular prevention, such as statins and blood pressure medications. However, women were less likely to experience adverse cardiovascular outcomes apart from stroke.
A UK study analyzing laboratory testing data reveals widespread impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on people with and being investigated for diabetes. The study estimates that 2.5 million diagnostic tests were missed or delayed during the 6-month lockdown, including 1.4 million monitoring tests in people with diabetes.
Two Stanford-led studies published in Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A suggest that removing human-caused methane emissions could significantly reduce global surface temperatures and improve air quality. The research models show that a 40% reduction in global methane emissions by 2050 could lead to temperature reductio...
A century-old Montessori method has received empirical validation, showing finger tracing reduces cognitive load and increases learning motivation. Tracing with imagination amplifies its positive effect, making it a simple yet effective technique for teaching math and science.
International research reveals that children will face a disproportionate increase in lifetime extreme event exposure due to climate change. The study, led by Prof. Wim Thiery of VUB, quantifies the impact of climate change on children born between 1960 and 2020, showing they will experience more heatwaves, droughts, crop failures, riv...
A new study found that alendronate, a widely used osteoporosis treatment, may reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 34% compared to non-users. The study, published in Diabetologia, also suggests that longer treatment duration is associated with lower risk of type 2 diabetes.
A new study found that a healthy gut microbiome is essential for skeletal muscles to grow after exercise. Researchers used mice with antibiotics to disrupt the microbiome, showing reduced muscle growth compared to healthy mice. The findings support previous studies linking the gut microbiome to muscle health.
A study by Belgian researchers found that maintaining a diabetic foot care program during the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in fewer late presentations and less severe ulcers. Despite lockdown restrictions, 23 of 24 clinics remained open for urgent care, applying measures such as remote consultations and physical distancing.
The COVID-19 pandemic has triggered unprecedented life expectancy losses across 29 countries, with a decline of over half a year observed in most nations. The largest declines were seen among males, particularly in the US, where a 2.2-year loss was reported.
A study of over 100,000 people with type 2 diabetes found that insulin resistance is associated with a greater risk of stroke. Those with lower insulin resistance were 40% less likely to have a stroke than those with higher insulin resistance.
