High-Quality Foster Care Protects Tots From Psychological Harms of Deprivation
SAN FRANCISCO — Placement into foster care after institutional care may help protect young children against the psychological harms of early severe deprivation, according to an analysis of the Bucharest Early Intervention Project (BEIP). In this randomized controlled trial, young Romanian children who were assigned to foster care had significantly better cognitive, physical, and neural […]

Cellular waste may supercharge immune cell function
The immune cells that protect us from infection and cancer seek out a wide array of fuel sources to power their function — including some long thought to be cellular waste products. The findings, published today in Cell Metabolism, lay the foundation for future personalized dietary recommendations designed to supercharge the immune system and augment […]
Intraoperative Catheter Disappoints for Urinary Retention After Hernia Repair
The use of an intraoperative catheter did not protect against the development of postoperative urinary retention (PUR) for patients who underwent laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair surgery, a randomized trial found. Among over 450 such patients, no significant difference was observed in the rate of PUR for those who received an intraoperative catheter placement versus those […]
Shield Your Eyes From Summer Sun
Latest Eyesight News SUNDAY, May 29, 2022 (HealthDay News) You probably slather on sunscreen to protect your skin, but your eyes need protection from the sun’s rays, too.

Satellites and drones can help save pollinators
Satellites and drones can provide key information to protect pollinators, researchers say. A new study examines new ways of using these technologies to track the availability of flowers, and says this could be combined with behavioural studies to see the world through the eyes of insects. The flowers available to insects vary from day to […]
Seashell-inspired shield protects materials in hostile environments: Environmentally friendly coating outperforms conventional materials
Word of an extraordinarily inexpensive material, lightweight enough to protect satellites against debris in the cold of outer space, cohesive enough to strengthen the walls of pressurized vessels experiencing average conditions on Earth and yet heat-resistant enough at 1,500 degrees Celsius or 2,732 degrees Fahrenheit to shield instruments against flying debris, raises the question: what […]
Urgent action required to protect world’s coral reefs from disappearing within three decades, warn experts
An international team of environmental scientists have published a series of significant recommendations to protect, conserve and study the world’s coral reefs — the ‘canaries in the coal mine’ of climate change. The Vibrant Oceans Initiative presented their white paper on the future of the delicate and crucial habitats at the Our Oceans Conference held […]
New invention keeps qubits of light stable at room temperature
As almost all our private information is digitalized, it is increasingly important that we find ways to protect our data and ourselves from being hacked. Quantum Cryptography is the researchers’ answer to this problem, and more specifically a certain kind of qubit — consisting of single photons: particles of light. Single photons or qubits of […]
