Cornish ‘Poet of the Clay’ Jack Clemo became blind and deaf because of congenital syphilis inherited from his father, a new University of Exeter study has found. This discovery sheds new light on Jack Clemo’s poetry. Luke Thompson has worked with the poet’s diaries, letters and manuscripts, as well as friends and family, for his new biography of Clemo, entitled Clay Phoenix. Clemo’s archives are held at the University of Exeter, where Dr Thompson has

Readmission rates after complex cancer operations tend to be higher in hospitals that are considered to be vulnerable because they serve as safety nets in their communities or have a high number of Medicaid patients. Reasons for higher readmission rates are highly complex and involve socioeconomic and hospital institutional characteristics. Payment programs that penalize hospitals for high readmission rates without understanding these issues could stress already financially threatened institutions, according to authors of a new

Ask people how they knew their partner was “The One,” and many of them will say, “I just knew.” But what if you don’t? If you’re in a relationship and don’t feel 100 percent certain, does that mean you simply haven’t met the right person yet?

Users first watch videos of real women explaining how each manual technique (such as layering, in which the hood above the clitoris is touched, or orbiting, which involves continuous circular movements) works to get them off. This is followed by another video of that woman demo’ing it on herself (yes, you see her vag), and finally, a high-tech simulation video, in which users can try the technique (using their fingers on their touchscreen device) on

Countries that implement government-mandated vaccinations for chickenpox see a sharp drop in the number of Google searches for the common childhood disease afterward, demonstrating that immunization significantly reduces seasonal outbreaks. That’s one of the findings from a new University of Michigan-led study that analyzed thousands of Google searches for “chickenpox.” The researchers downloaded and analyzed freely available Google Trends data from 36 countries on five continents, covering an 11-year period starting in 2004.

Neurological disorders can impair sexuality on a much more massive scale than frequently assumed, leaving loss of desire, erection problems and infertility in their wake. Both men and women are affected. A person’s self-esteem, love life and relationship with a significant other can all suffer. But as Prof  David B.

The Zika epidemic has long assumed global proportions, experts told the Congress of the European Academy of Neurology in Copenhagen.

In colorectal cancer, the presence of invasive tumor cells at the advancing edge of the tumor can provide valuable information on prognosis.

Together with colleagues from eleven countries, an internationally standardized scoring method was established. With over a million new cases per year, colorectal

Chronic stress can make us worn-out, anxious, depressed–in fact, it can change the architecture of the brain. New research at The Rockefeller University shows that when mice experience prolonged stress, structural changes occur within a little-studied region of their amygdala, a part of the brain that regulates basic emotions, such as fear and anxiety. These changes are linked to behaviors associated with anxiety and depressive disorders There is good news, too: an experimental new drug

It isn’t a secret that eating the right foods can fill your body with vitamins and nutrients.

Why do we keep doing it? If you’ve ever pushed yourself beyond your limit, you’ve asked this question before.

Reviewer’s report 2: Michael Gromiha Reviewer comments: In this work, the authors analyzed the sequence and structural features of class III nucleotide cyclases and an uncharacterized set of bacterial proteins and identified a motif in the uncharacterized proteins. Further, they analyzed the conservation of gene clusters and localization of such proteins to understand their participation in cell signaling events. The work is interesting and it provides insights about uncharacterized proteins. The manuscript could be improved

Just as members of an orchestra need a conductor to stay on tempo, neurons in the brain need well-timed waves of activity to organize memories across time.

In this study, we investigated the effects on childhood cancer risk of exposure to crops that are generally treated with pesticides, taking into account different types of crops.
