As anyone who has traveled by plane in the last decade can attest, one of the few—perhaps only—things that make modern commercial flying tolerable is a strong onboard libation. For those lucky enough to travel internationally, the booze is sometimes even free. But could this last vestige of mile-high sanity be snatched from us like a water bottle at an airport security checkpoint? Newly released research argues that it should be. The study, published in Thorax by researchers from the Institute of Aerospace Medicine in Germany, concludes that in-flight alcohol can increase the risk of heart att...

Los Angeles (AFP) - Pollution from California wildfires killed more than 52,000 people in a decade, a new study claimed Friday, as the western United States girds for a hot summer that could bring more blazes. Vast areas of forest and grassland are scorched every year in California and other parts of the country, causing millions of dollars of destruction and sometimes costing lives. But researchers say particulate matter released by the fires has a devastating effect on local populations that far outweighs the number of deaths directly attributable to them. A study led by Rachel Connolly of t...

Los Angeles (AFP) - La pollution émanant des feux de forêt en Californie a tué plus de 52.000 personnes en une décennie, rapporte une étude vendredi, alors que l'ouest des Etats-Unis s'attend à un été chaud, propice aux incendies. Les chercheurs ont établi que la pollution provenant des feux a un effet dévastateur sur les populations locales, dépassant de loin le nombre de décès directement attribuables à ces incendies. Cette étude, menée par Rachel Connolly de l'Université de Californie à Los Angeles, s'est concentrée sur l'impact des particules fines (PM2.5, 2,5 micromètres ou moins) libérée...

A team of researchers has developed a miraculous new test that can predict the onset of dementia around nine years before it is diagnosed. Knewz.com has learned that the test has an accuracy rate of around 80%. The groundbreaking method has been developed by a team of researchers at the Queen Mary University in London, led by Professor Charles Marshall. This new test involves analyzing the network of connections in an "idle" brain, which the research referred to as the default mode network (DMN), and looking for early signs of dementia. Simply put, an "idle state" of the brain is where the min...

A ransomware attack against a lab provider disrupted several hospitals and primary care doctors in London this week, delaying operations and blood tests. The attack had a “significant impact,” with the lab provider Synnovis stating it was a “harsh reminder that this sort of attack can happen to anyone at any time,” but the NHS does not know the full impact on data at this point. “All urgent and emergency services remain open as usual and the majority of outpatient services continue to operate as normal,” an NHS spokesperson said on Thursday. “Unfortunately, some operations and procedures which...

Hundreds of millions of people could be living in areas where poor-quality groundwater threatens their health by the year 2100 as a result of rising temperatures. "This means that the water there cannot be drunk directly without hesitation, but must be boiled," explains Susanne Benz from the Institute of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing at Germany's Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in a press release. "Depending on the climate scenario, up to several hundred million people will be affected by 2100." The temperature of the groundwater plays a decisive role in water quality and researche...
