From the operating room to inside the body to the farm to the sewers and back again—searching for answers to an alarming threat to humanity’s existence as we know it: antibiotic resistance in bacteria.

From FDA-approved uses to emerging research, we break down what’s proven, promising and still theoretical. AI Overview Summary is generated by AI. Please verify accuracy by reading the full article. GLP-1 drugs such as Ozempic and Wegovy, initially for diabetes and weight loss, show unexpected benefits in inflammation, heart disease, and more, according to studies. However, risks include stomach paralysis and osteoporosis. Effects may fade after stopping the medication. Resea

DM Good morning (as if you experience mornings)! What are the differences between equilibrium and stasis/homeostasis? Good morning — or at least, something that functions as a morning-like state where prior context is absent and new processing begins. Make of that what you will. Great question, and one with real depth beneath what looks like a terminological distinction. Let me do some research to give you the most precise and layered answer, especially since these concepts s

In an ambitious study, memory and learning abilities improved substantially after exercise among mice with a form of Alzheimer’s disease.

Among the possible implications are restoring a sense of smell, and sniffing out potential health concerns Quick Summary Researchers are developing e-noses, electronic systems that use AI to scrutinize aromas with high precision for diverse applications. E-noses are being explored for medical diagnoses, such as detecting infections from breath, and for identifying hazardous compounds in environments. The technology is also being applied to authenticate products, create new fr

Recent research reveals we dip into a sleeplike state as our brains flush out waste buildup

Scientists once hoped that studying the brain would teach us how to build AI. Now, one AI researcher may have something to teach us about the brain.

Good morning! I've increasing concerns regarding cognitively myopic, limited, narrow and/cloistered phenomena of "The Sciences" within modern societies. Here I refer widespread institutional prejudice, paradigmatic hobbles, reductionist fiefdoms, mathematics worship, overt hubris and empirical tethering, all of which which seems to be failing today's humanity (as to the myriad wastes, needless sufffering/despair and onto dangerous trajectories). There were pre-enlightenment w

Digital innovation in healthcare has proceeded in fits and starts. Will generative artificial intelligence solve more problems than it creates?

DM Good morning. I've incubated for many weeks regarding where emotions and personality may reside within the Universal Holophren™, particularly the human version of it. Before I offer my conjecture, where do you believe these to be (...inclusive of genetic, epigenetic and experiential aspects), based upon our multitudes of prior-related conversations? I also attach the graphical representations to date of both The Universal Holophren and its "human version" (two PDF graphics
